In UPI Vote
By JOE SARGIS
Baton Rouge, La. tjPD
Coach Paul Dietzel said today
that the selection of Louisiana
States as college football's na
tional champion "is a wonder
ful honor to the university
and a once-in-a-lifetime ex
perience to members of the
team."
"We had no idea we might
be national champions when
the season started," the 34
year-old coach continued
"But somewhere along the
line we caught fire. It is a
tremendous honor and we are
deeply grateful to United
Press International."
New York-flJPD-The Louisi

finish ninth this year in their
own 12 -team Southeastern
conference, today were voted

Coach Paul Dietzel's Tigers,
who swept through 10 games
to emerge as the nation's only
major undefeated-untied team
and gain a Sugar Bowl berth
opposite Clemson, received a
total of 331 points. LSU thus
fell only 10 points shy of a
perfect score of 350.
Becomes Steady Team
The Tigers, ranked 17th in
the early UPI ratings, became
one of the few steady teams
in an unpredictable 1958 cam
paign. They were the sixth
team to appear at the top of
the UPI ratings during the
first eight weeks but sank
their claws In and held on
after taking over the No. 1
spot Nov. 11.
Louisiana State averaged
27.5 points a game while lim
Iting its victims to a 5.3-point
average. The Tigers started
by whipping Rice and went
on to down Alabama, Hardin
Simmons, Miami (Fla.), Ken
tucky, Florida, Mississippi,
Duke, Mississippi State and
Tulane en route to their best
season in 50 years.
The Tigers had only two
close shaves, edging Florida,
10-7, and Mississippi State,
7-6.
In addition to their 29 first-
place votes, the Tigers re
ceived two for second place,
two for third and one for
fourth. Points are distributed
on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis

cept ace Johnny Cox but,
with tall replacements on
hand, is expected to start an
other triumphant campaign
for Coach Adolph Rupp by

the scoring crown as a scho-
more last year with an aver
age of 35.1 points per game,
