UCLA, the national champion team of 1954, was named a six-point fav orite over title-coracious Mary land today in a New York run down of odds on Saturday's big college football games. The odds-men seemed to be disregarding Maryland's 13-12 "squeaker" victory over Missouri last week as not indicating Mary land's true strength. Missouri Underdog In the same vein, the odds- makers listed Missouri as a 20 point underdog against Michigan another leading contender for the national gridiron crown. Illinois was favored by six over California and Notre Dame by the same margin in making its season debut against South em Methodist. Minnesota was a husky 13-pomt choice over Washington and Texas was fa vored by the same amount over Tulane. The f igure-e x p e r t s tabbed three games as even-money toss ups: Louisana State-Texas A&M, Colgate-Dartmouth, and Wake Forest-South Carolina.

He's the United Press Coach of the Week, big John Michelosen who wants to start a new golden era for Pittsburgh's Golden Pan thers. Surprising 27-7 Triumph Last Saturday's 27-7 triumph over well-rated California was significant not only because of the surprising margin but be cause the team showed traits sim ilar to the Pitt elevens of the late Dr. Jock Sutherland. These things stood out: 1. A superior ground game with 274 yards gained rushing to 81 for California. 2. A combination of single wing power of the old Suther land style and' a split-T featur ing some of the old pro tricks he picked up as coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. 3.

But Coach Jim Trimble of the Eagles - is tired , playing second fiddle to Paul Brown's Browns. Rookies May Be Answer: And Trimble believes he has the answer this year in the run ning of rookie fullbacks Dick Bielski and Ted Wegert plus more depth in most positions. ; The exhibition results back Trimble's optimism. The Eagles were the only team in the 12 club league to compile a perfect record in the warm-ups sweep ing six games.
