State took over the top spot in
the United Press college football
ratings today in the wake of
weekend upsets that dropped
Texas A&M to foutrh place and
Oklahoma to fifth.
Ogio State jumped up to the
Ho. 2 rating; Auburn, one of the
two remaining perfect - record
teams in the major college ranks,
could not advance last week's
No. , ranking; and Notre Dame
returned to the top 10 group
in ninth place on the strength
of its stunning 7-0 upset victory
which mapped Oklahoma's 47
game winning streak.
Mississippi was another new
comer in this week's top ten ad
vancing from 11th place to sixth.
Navy, Iowa, Notre Dame and
Army rounded out the select
group in that order.
Rice, which produced a major
shocker Saturday by beating last
week's top-ranked Texas A&M,"
7-6, was placed 13th in the week
ly ratings of the 35 leading
coaches who comprise the United
Press board.
Auburn, 6-0 conquereor of
weak Georgia, attracted thmost
first place votes from the
coaches. Coach Shug Jordan's

an Francisco (IP) You can't

tll a bowl-bound team by its
Mcord.
L survey of the possibilities
for bids in the four major bowls
Rose, Sugar, Orange and Cot
ton shows that nine "probables
or possibles" have a record of 61
wins, 12 losses and 3 ties.
There was a day when it took
, perfect record to get a major
bowl invitation. Those days are
gone forever, it appears tinder
the duress of college politics and
the NCAA.
As of now it appears that the
champions of the Big Ten and
the Pacific Coast conference will
tangle in the Rose Bowl. The
PCC title holder may be Oregon,
which has a 7-2 record. But the
Webfoots could easily lose to
Oregon state a bowl-non-eligible
and enter the game against Ohio
State 7-1 with a 7-3 record.
How About This?
Or how about the Orange
Bowl? It just so happens that
Oklahoma, with its 7-1 mark, is
eligible this year. Otherwise,
Missouri, with a 5-3-1 mark,
might be playing against Duke,
which has 6-1-2. Doesn't sound
exactly inviting, does it?
Then there's the case of the
Cotton Bowl. Texas A&M, with
an over-all record of 8-1, may

New York (IP) Crawford
Kennedy, then ew IC4-A Cross
country champion, and his Mich
igan State teamrrftites looked for
ward today to a successful de
fense of their NCAA champion
ship next Monday on tkeir own
course at East Lansing, Mich.
Kennedy, a 22-year-old Scot
who now lives in Toronto, cap
tured his first major title Mon
day when he defeated Ron De
lany, the Olympic 1,500-meter
champion from Ireland and Vil
lanova university, in the IC4-A
Cross Country meet.
The Spartans posted a low
total of 86 points to retain the
IC4-A team crown in a warm
up for next week's NCAA fea
ture. Notre Dame was second in
the team race, followed by Perm
State, Cornell and Syracuse.
get the bid. Or it might be RJce,
which has won 5, lost 3. They are
tied in conference standings.
One of the service teams, Army
or Navy, could furnish the oppo
sition. Army has a 7-1 mark, but
was just barely able to squeeze
by Utah, which lost to such
teams as Idaho, Colorado and
Denver. Navy was beaten by
North Carolina and tied by
Duke. And either Army or Navy
must lose in their traditional
clash this Saturday.
And This?
The Orange Bowl will get Ole
Miss, a team with an 8-1 record
the lone loss being to Arkansas,
which has lost three of its last
four games. The opposition may
be Rice or Texas A&M and
you've already heard about their
records.
But if you think the colleges
have crazy mixed up football
records, take a look at the pro
fessional standings.
When east meets west for the
annual championship clash this
year, the western representative
may come into the game with a
very so-so, 8-5 or 9-5 record yeah,
that's right. The extra game or
games would come from a play
off after the regular season ends
in a tie. The western champion
may have have a 9-3 or 10-2
mark or less.
And how come we haven't
heard anyone blaming Sputnik
for their miserable showings this
year?

Yankees Offer Players
As Opening Attempts
n 'Regaining' Series
New York (IP) The de
throned New York Yankees, los
ing little time in an attempt to
get back on the winning track,
already, have offered- four of
their "expendables" in the hope
of coming up with another front
line pitcher for 1958.
Tommy Byrne", Harry Simp
son, Enos Slaughter and Joe Col
lins all were offered to various
clubs during the past few weeks
and there is a chance two or
three of those four may figure
in a deal during the Major-Minor
league meetings at Colorado
Springs, Colo., Dec. 2-7.
The Baltimore Orioles are es
pecially interested in Simpson,
whom Paul Richards feels can
help his club at first base.
Simpson came to the Yanks

Notre Dame played fundamental
football.
The Irish tackled and blocked
in the line, and while Williams,
Lynch and Pietrosante grabbed
the headlines, you've got to take
your hats off to the forward
wall. It was strictly a team ef
fort. One thing the victory empha
sized you find your best and
your toughest football in the
Middle West, taking it week in
and week out. The Irish had
been toughened by a rough
schedule; the Sooners hadn't.
That was the basic difference.
The win made the season for
Notre Dame.
The bowl situation is pretty
well wrapped up. Ohio State's
win over Iowa gave the Buck
eye's the trip to the West and
killed the hopes of Michigan
State.
Oregon will provide the so
called Rose Bowl opposition.
It's Duke and Oklahoma for the
Orange Bowl; Mississippi and
probably Texas or Rice in the
Sugar Bowl; Texas Aggies have
to :beat Texas for the Cotton
Bowl bid and if Navy beats
Army, the Middies go there. Aft

To create the "frozen twitch,"

making one freeze in motion,
