Ohio State led the first week, then Au burn, followed by Army for the past two weeks. Oddly, the top four teams have identical records of four victories and one tie.

LSU Ranked Fifth LSU was ranked fifth and Mississippi sixth, followed in order by Oklahoma, Purdue, Wisconsin and Pittsburgh. The last three teams in the top 10 were newcomers to this week's select group. All but one of the first place votes were scattered among the top five teams. Iowa had nine, LSU eight. Auburn seven. Army six and Ohio State four. The other first-place ballot went to 11th ranked Colorado, which is unbeaten and untied. Another big shakeup in the ratings can be expected after next Saturday's clashes be tween several of the leading teams. Iowa, which knocked both Wisconsin and North western out of the perfect record ranks on the previous two Saturdays, next plays Michigan. Army also takes on a soft touch in Colgate. Faces Trouble But several other leading powers face trouble.

Gresham 'Slugger' Unravels . Legal Mess San Francisco-flJPD-William G. Dunn, 34, returned to court today to unravel a legal tan gle which developed when he appeared to plead innocent to charges of taking a poke at the coach of the Chicago Bears. Dunn, of Palo Alto, Calif., appeared before Municipal Judge Edward F. O'Day Mon day and identified himself as attorney "Jack Sawaty," rep resenting Dunn. O'Day, the bailiff and the press assumed the man was whom he said. But the arresting officer, Patrolman William Porter, la ter remembered him and O'Day immediately issued a bench warrant for Dunn's arrest. Dunn returned to court la ter and apologized, saying he was confused and gave the wrong name during his brief court appearance. O'Day sus pended the warrant, but or dered Dunn back to court to day. - .Dunn was jailed Sunday after he ran onto the field durins a came between the Bears and the San Francisco Forty Niners and slugged Coach George Halas on the shoulder. Halas Monday said he would not press charges. more than just a passing team with its ace thrower, Bob Newman laid up. He said the Cougars displayed a pesky running attack from unortho dox formations. Turning to his own team, Barnes lauded the perform ance of tailback Chuck Ken dall who made more than 100 yards rushing despite a knee that gives him trouble. He also praised the green hands UCLA was forced to use in place of six seniors who had used up their five-game eligi bility. Hit Tackling Hard "We know Washington State has a veteran line and some fine backs but our kids are in good spirits and feel they can win," Barnes said. 'We showed poor tackling and defensive work against Stanford and we'll concen trate on those things in prac tice this week." Trojan quarterback Willie Wood was voted college play er of the week for his per formance in hurling the win ning touchdown pass against Washington State despite a sore arm and his lack of prac tice from being laid up three weeks. It was Wood's first appear ance since he cracked his col larbone and his left arm was almost useless to him. But the little back' still provided the spark for Southern Cal's sec ond win of the season, Clark pointed out. Wood Not Hurt Bad ','We didn't play as well as we should have against Wash ington State," Clark said. "A late injury to halfback An- gelo Coia upset our game plans'. We hope he will be able to recover in time for the Stanford game." Although Wood suffered a bruise on his ailing shoulder, he was expected to be avail able for some action again Saturday, team trainers re ported. Sid Gillman of the Rams, disappointed in his team's loss to the Lions Sunday, defend ed quarterback Bill Wade de spite his throwing six inter ceptions. Gillman said four of the throws were good ones and Wade couldn't be blamed if his receivers allowed the ball to bounce off their chests into the arms of the Lions. .

(UPD- Joe Kapp had a whale of an after noon last Saturday against Oregon, and coach Pete Elli ott feels that the long-striding quarterback can . thank a "team effort" which made it possible. "It was team effort that beat Oregon, 23-6 and team ef fort that helped Joe have such a big day," Elliott told the Northern California Football Writers Association Monday. "In fact, it was the best com bined operation we have had all season. Our defense helped us the most. Our tackling was good and our goal line stand in the first half meant a lot." Elliott, insisting that' the Bears are not thinking of the Rose Bowl even if they do lead the Pacific Coast Confer ene with a 3-0 mark, warned that they still have more than half of their league play to get through, starting with Ore gon State at Corvallis next Saturday. Tough As Predicted "And that team has settled down and is just as tough as people expected it to be," El liott said. Pete, asked to contrast this year's team " which is on a four-game winning streak and last season's big loser, merely said, "The boys have picked up more experience and fi nesse." Sid Hall, freshman coach of College of Pacific, took over for Jack Myers whose shat tered Tigers are in the Mid west fresh from being beaten by underdog Marquette, 27-18. "Jack really was singing the blues when he phoned in," Hall said. "It appears that Marquette was just up for the game and we weren't. The next stop is at Boston College which has one of the biggest lines in the country."

But O'Connor has been asked to leave the meeting and was called back to break a four-four deadlock between those directors who wished to fire him immediately ancj, those who preferred that he remain next year. O'Connor had the option of resigning under pressure from the faction that did not want "him, or stay in the job.

Woodard, 24, and a stablemate of middleweight champion Ray Robinson, scaled 163. Young, favored at 8-5, con centrated on a left-hooking body attack that twice jack- knifed Otis and forced him to complain of low blows on two other occasions. Woodard shot for- the head with left jabs and combinations. Judge Mike Davidowitch favored Woodard eight rounds to two. But Judge Joe Agnello had Young ahead, 6-4. Referee Petey Delia had it 4-4-2 on rounds, and gave each four points for a draw. The United Press Internation al also scored 4-4-2 and four points ach. " v Corvallis, Ore.

Jack Curtice, Stanford's homespun mentor, said that his Indians face a Southern California team which is one of the most underrated in the country. "They've lost several games by only one or two points so we know we have a tough afternoon ahead," Curtice said.
