PACE SIX HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON TUESDAY, JAN. 6, 1948 Michigan Gets Two-One Vote As Champion Special Pol! Shows Wolverines Rated Strong Over Irish NEW YORK, Jan. 6 fh The binning sports question of the day which was Uie Rreater colleue football power ot 1947, Michigan or Notre Dame? never to be settled on the field, was answered today at the ballot box and It's Michigan almost two to one. In a i.pecial Associated Press poll of. sports editors and football writers from coast to coast, Michigan re ceived 226 votes as the superior team to 119 for the Irish, while 12 of the experts suggesting the two Mid-west giants should be rated equal. A total of 357 writers, from each of the 48 states and the District of Columbia, took part in the "post poll", conducted by popular demand as the result of the New Year's Day game that saw Michigan's unbeaten, untied Wolverines smash Southern California in the Rose Bowl, 49-0. MYTHICAL TITLE i The new ballot does not supersede I the Associated Press' regular final season rating of college football teams, released last December 8, which named Notre Dame the myth ical national champion with Michi gan the runner-up. The 146 writers who cast ballots in that one gave the Irish 1410 points to 1289 for the Wolverines and awarded Notre Dame 107 first place votes, with Michigan getting only 25 and the other No. 1 tags going elsewhere. The Irish, who led the nation's list through seven of the ten weeks ol the campaign, won in the regular poll after a decisive 38-7 triumph over the same Southern California Trojans. Many of the participants in the latest roll-call acknowledged their opinions were swayed largely by comparative scores which in two other instances swung the pendulum toward Fritz Crisler's men of Michi gan. PITT SWAMPED Against the other two common op ponents, the teams fared this way: Michigan walloped Pitt, 69-0. while Notre Dame did the job a little more mercifully. 40-6. The Wolver ines rolled over Northwestern. 49-21, while the Irish, who also had a per fect season, trounced the Wildcats, 26-19. Notre Dame supporters argued comparative scores should be no gauge because the Irish were in-; clined to "pull their punches." Michigan drew its heaviest back ing from the Mid-west stamping grounds of the Big Nine and even Notre Dame's home state, Indiana, voted even on the issue, eight to eight The Wolverines received 29 votes within their home state. The West coast, which saw the two powerhouses against the Tro jans, was about equally divided in sentiment with California splitting Its vote, ten to ten. SECTIONAL VOTE There was little to choose between the teams in the East balloting. New i or weni ior Michigan, 12 to 8, but Pennsylvania voted even, 11 to 11. The South went overwhelmingly for the Irish. Georgia backed Notre Dame, eight to two, and Frank Leahy's farces found almost equally auppon in lennessee. Mary land, Alabama and Mississippi. But , Texas joined the Michigan band- wugoa, ij to 3. Basin League Teams Start Battle Again The Klamath Basin Basketball league, both city and county divi aions, resume league play tonignt after a layoff since Just before Christmas, with eight games on the docket at four gymnasiums. In the city circuit the games will be played at Oregon Vocational school where the OVS Owls tangle with Hal's Sport Shop at 7 p.m. and the classy Oregon Woolen quintet ties Into the American Legion in the nightcap.

Jan. 6 (P) Italy's welterweight king, Livlo Minelli. scored his 106th straight boxing victory in a split decision verdict over Chicago's Johnny Brat ton before 7422 Convention hall fans. Minelli, pride of Milan and cur rently angling for a title shot with Sugar Ray Robinson, rallied furi ously in the final two stanzas of last night's 10-rounder and brought blood spurting from a cut over the negro's left eye to earn the decision. The referee and one judge scored It for the Italian while the other official gave the nod to Bratton. Three Of A Kind TACOMA.

Phone 10(16 Grid Evolution Down 80 Years Is American Story Some 50.000.000 Americans make football a part of their dally diet from September through December after whetting their appetites on the hopes and anticipation so generously publlclred, during the eight months prefacing tho gridiron season. The saga of football's evolution from the crude push-pull-and-pound contest of physical strength through the 80 years the game has been played to the streamlined coordination of strategy, speed and skill ot well-trained players protected against injury by constantly Improved equipment. Is a typically American story. . The 1948 New Year's Day Rose Bowl game at Pasadena brings back memories of 46 years earlier when "Hurry Up" Yost took his Michigan team on a transcontinental trek to participate In the first lime Bowl classic. The city fathers of Pasadena 46 years ano were not confronted with a stampede of upwards of 100.000 spectators, some of whom slept In parked autos and pitched tents to be "early birds" to purchase tickets in order to see the Bowl game. A glance at the football album emphasizes that the 1U48 Rose Bowl spectacle as well as the other "bowl games" luring approximately a half-million spectators on a year-opening holiday afternoon demon strates "the hold" that the sport has on Americans. The 1948 bowl games' atmosphere and performance are a far cry from 79 years Bgo when on a brisk November day. Princeton and Rutgers engaged In the first eolleeiate football game on record, with 25 players comprising a team and attainment of six goals . Early Uniforms Were Nothing The evolution of football from , power array of poundage and sheer i injuries "part of the game " has come a long way irom u.c c. .... ! the rules enforced by a lone official were more honored by the breach than observance, contrasted to mesc eariy umjs u .wwi... ..re game stresses the combination of strategy, speed and skill of players, not necessarily heavy in poundage, but adequately trained and safe guarded against Injury by form-fitted protective equipment, conceived by coaches and trainers and developed by manufacturers whose researrh and special technical skills have been employed to help to make the gome safer. The early-used football uniform consisted of a sleeveless laced Jacket or vest and' padded pants. The only real protective equipment was a rubber nose-guard which was designed to keep the plaver's nose and teeth intact. Cane-reed shin-guards were Introduced Into the game to protect the legs and ankles. But long hair served as a "head pro tector." ijtcr rross-stuffed leather bands, stuffed with cotton, were usrd as head protection; quilted padding over shoulders and elbows provided a measure of protection from bruises and injury. .... nury Ratio Drew Criticism Footban while growing in popularity in the "flying wedge" dav.i. ellc0UIlterej obstacles which raised the "stop-look-and-listen" warning t0 tnose who vm enthusiasts about the game's possibilities. First of 8ll there were mal)v instances of faculty displeasure and disapproval of football, with some professional spokesmen extremely vocai in their condemnations. But more important as a possible retarder to the game was the hih P -!,, tniurv ratio for the Dlavers of football. In fact, the outcry against football injuries in the days when Theodore Roosevelt was president maae 11 necessary ior rum to use ma nime House influence to save the game. Proponents of football, recognizing a "danger signal" as the time to avert disaster, set about to put the game's house In order. Then came changes in rules, provision for adequate officiating, establishment of scientific pre-game training and above all the de velopment and use of newly-designed and steadily improved protective equipment to keep pace with the progressive evolution. As the end result, football loomed to nationwide popularity with million of new spectators swelling the stadia annually, meanwhile recording a steady decline in Injury ratio per capita of participants. .... Equipment Is Lighter, Better Analysts of football history are generally agreed that the constant persistent development of football protective equipment has been the best "insurance" against injuries, while at the same time providing the player with the facility of action that thrills the spectator and lures the millions congregating in the stadia throughout the nation on the fall week-ends. The modern protective equipment Including full outfit, averages 12 to 17 pounds per man. compared to the 25 to 35 pounds lugged by the player of a generation ago, enables the player to play the game better and more safely. Football equipment designers and manufacturers have blended science and skill to develop protectees form-fitted to dissipate shock rather than to localize blows In a particular spot. 50 Million Fans Can't Be Wrong Form-fitting lightweight, sturdily-built equipment protects the play ef's hips and spine, yet allows free body movement and fast action. His shoulders and collar-bone are protected by similar form-fitting fibre shoulder-pads, padded with foamed rubber. A lightweight plastic helmet no heavier than a girl's Easter bonnet protects the player's head. From those early bone-crushing, body-bending tactics of 79 years ago. football has evolved and developed to the streamlined sport of mass appeal and fall spectacle of color and glamor, captivating more than 50.000,000 Americans who would readily give an "eye tooth" for a ticket to see Rose Bowl, Army-Navy or Notre Dame games. Cats Riding High Above Hoop League By The Associated Press Willamette's Bearcats rode well ahead of the Northwest conference pack today after knocking off pre viously undefeated University of British Columbia last night by a one-sided 72-48 count.
