By NORMAN MILLER New York (U.R) Michi gan, which appears to play only as hard as it must to win, main tained only a slight lead over Maryland and Oklahoma today in the closest college football ratings ever voted by the United Press Board of Coaches. Only 10 points separated the top three teams in this week's ratings. Michigan was the top choice of 12 of the 35 leading coaches who comprise the Unit ed Press rating board. Maryland received 10 first-place votes and Oklahoma nine. This week's vot ing was so concentrated that a total of only 18 teams were men tioned in the coaches' ballots. Never before in the six-year history of the United Press rat ings were the top three teams so closely bunched, or did so few teams receive votes that there were not even enough to comprise a "second Jen." Gained Considerable Ground Maryland, which trounced Syracuse 34-13 for its sixth tri umph of the season, and Coach Bud Wilkinson's Sooners, who crushed Colorado 56-21 and all but clinched a berth in the Orange bowl, thus gained con siderable ground in their bid to overtake Michigan. The Wolver ines' first-place margin . has dwindled from a high of 66 points two weeks ago, to 26 points last week, and to its pres sent six points as they struggled with weak Big Ten opponents. A comparatively formful week end left the first six teams the same as the week before, with Navy, UCLA and Michigan State trailing the "big three" in that order. Texas A&M's Southwest conference leaders were the week's only new team in the top ten, jumping three places to 10th. Notre Dame also 'advanced three notches to No. 7 while Au burn and Southern California were tied for the eighth rank ing. First Place Votes Besides the top three teams, Navy, UCLA, Michigan State and Southern California each received one vote for first place. Last week end's biggest upset produced the only change in this week's top ten. Duke beaten 26-7 by Pittsburgh dropped from the seventh to 14th place, giving Texas A&M an opportunity to join the select group after a 19-7 triumph over Baylor. West Virginia retained the No. 11 ranking for the second week in a row. Georgia Tech, Texas Christian, Duke and Ohio State Tuesday, October 25, 19SS MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN Marshfield Still Choice Of Coaches Portland (U.R) Marshfield high school's Pirates, 32-12 con querors of Eugene, remained a unanimous choice for first place today in the Journal coaches' poll with the Gresham Gophers again right on their heels.
