Three New Teams Enter AP Grid Poll Top Ten NEW YORK (AP)—Southern Methodist’s unbeaten Mustangs clung to their No. 1 rating among the country’s college football teams today as Ohio State vaulted from sixth to fourth and Miami, Princeton, and Illinois squeezed into the top ten. The Southwest conference leader, despite a Saturday of idleness, remained the top choice of a majority of the 280 sports writers and sportscaster’s who voted in the fifth weekly Associated Press poll to determine the nation’s outstanding team. CADETS DROP The Mustangs (5-0) grabbed 153 first place votes and accumulated 2574 points to outdistance second place Army which notched 34 first place nominations and 2184 points. Although the undefeated Cadets walloped Columbia, 34-0, they gained 50 fewer first place votes than last week when they also were second. Oklahoma retained its third place ranking by trampling Iowa State for its 26th consecutive victory but fifth place Kentucky (7-0) and sixth place California (6-0) dropped down a notch to make room for Ohio State. The Buckeyes, shooting for their second straight Big Ten conference championship, swamped Iowa 83-21. Ohio State received 30 first place ballots to 25 for Oklahoma, but the Sooners had more seconds and thirds to amass 2137 points to the Buckeyes’ 1822. HEAVIEST VOTING The heaviest voting in the 15 years of the poll also saw Kentucky pick up 17 first place votes, Miami 12, Clemson 3, California, Princeton and Wyoming two apiece. Biggest jump was registered by Princeton. The Tigers leaped from nowhere a week ago to ninth by virtue of their surprising 27-0 victory over Cornell. The Big Red, 10th last week, received only one 10th place vote to drop out of the first 20. Northwestern was another to lose prestige, because of its 14-13 defeat by Wisconsin. The Wildcats, ninth last week, didn’t make the first 20. MIAMI UP Other appreciable gains were made by Miami and Illinois. The unbeaten hurricanes exchanged places with Tennessee, climbing from 11th to eighth on the strength of their 28-0 win over Pittsburgh. Illinois, with only a one-point defeat by Wisconsin to mar an otherwise perfect five-game slate, rounded out the top ten. A 20-0 victory over Indiana gained two notches for the Illini. TOP TEN 1.

Coach Jeff Cravath reviewed last week's Oregon game, won by Troy, 30-21, and instructed his boys to improve their blocking and tackling. SC gained 353 yards against Oregon. It was the best ground game the Trojans have turned in since 1946. Yesterday Cravath drilled the squad on defense, with the fresh team running Stanford plays.

"But I know there has been criticism of ou card this year. I don't know where they get it." Blaik said the Army policy has been to schedule seven big games and plant a couple of lighter for in the middle somewhere to give the boys a chance to relax. That would explain the appearance of Harvard, played Oct. 2 and New Mexico, to be my Nov. 11. "There's nothing unusual about that," the Army coach added to a telephone interview. "Practically every team does it and some spot breathers every other game." "Look at the schedules of some of the other top ten teams as you will find schedules weak than ours."

BEARS RUN In six all-winning games, California has rolled up 1874 times. Heinrich’s Passing Makes SEATTLE UP Can “The Arm” pass Washington into the Rose Bowl, or will California power there with its legs? The answer may be known Saturday when the two titans of the Coast conference collide here. “The Arm,” of course, is canny, pass-slinging Don Heinrich, who has cracked half a dozen all-time Washington records this season with his bullseye tosses. As he goes, so go the Huskies. In six games he has completed 77 of 122 heaves for an average of .031 and 1081 yards. Against Stanford last week-end he hit for 19 of 24. Before that game he was fourth among the nation’s passers. To counteract this aerial striking threat, the Bears of California boast a running game described by Washington scouts as “tremendous.” Figures bear on the label. BEARS RUN In six all-winning games, California has rolled up 1674 yards on 320 carries for an average of 279 yards per game. By contrast, the Bears’ passing attack has been negligible, with 73 attempts, completions, an average of .37 and 436 total yardage. Each outfit has won three and lost none in conference play. Washington, beaten only by Illinois, vaulted in this week’s Associated Press poll from 21st place on the strength of its 21-7 victory over Stanford. California holds down No. 6. Despite the Huskies’ low ranking, the betting gentry have installed them as 6-point favorite over the Bears.

"Year in and Major, Minor Leaguers Meet CINCINNATI (UP)—The future of major league baseball game broadcasts, the ambitions of the Pacific Coast league and the status of jobless Branch Rickey formed a strangely mixed baseball diet here today. Officially it was to be a meeting of the major-minor league executive committee to consider what to do about major league broadcasts infringing on minor league territory. That was on the docket today for the combined major - minor bosses. Tomorrow baseball commissioner A. B. Chandler is to meet with representatives of the three class AAA leagues—the Pacific Coast, the International and the American association—for a discussion of the renewd request by the Pacific Coast loop to be excluded from baseball's draft. That's where Rickey entered into the picture. Rickey, left without any official baseball status after severing his connections with the Brooklyn Dodgers, said in St. Louis yesterday he would be in here tomorrow to see some major league club owners. No one seemed to know off-hand just how many of the major Doctor Advises Not to Lose For Health's Sake ST. LOUIS (UP)—A doctor said today he believes athletes are much more prone to injury "when the team is behind in the game than when it is leading." Dr. Thomas E. Shaffer, Columbus, Ohio, told the American Public Health association there already is some evidence certain people in the general population are more liable to accidents than others because of emotional instability. Sanders Fears Beaver Passing LOS ANGELES (UP) — Coach Red Sanders of UCLA expressed fear today that overconfidence may cause his Bruins plenty of trouble in Saturday's game here with Oregon State. Sanders, who admittedly drills his squad "75 per cent on defense and 25 per cent on offense," called for more of the same this week, especially pass defense. Scout George Dickerson reported that Oregon State showed a capable passer in quarterback Gene Morrow. "Oregon State's record isn't too impressive," Sanders told yesterday's football writers meeting."

NEELY SAYS TEXAS MAY WORRY SMU HOUSTON (AP) — "That Texas line might give SMU trouble. Texas is the type of team that might beat SMU." Those were Tuesday's cautious words from tight - lipped Jess Neely, the coach in the best position to know the comparative strength of the two Southwest conference powers that meet Saturday in Austin. Neely refuses to pick Saturday's winner but he is well versed in the qualities of each team. His Rice Institute Owls, 1949 conference and Cotton Bowl champions, on successive Saturdays have bowed to SMU 42-21, and to Texas, 35-7. Perfect record Southern Methodist ranked as the nation's No. 1 team in last week's Associated Press poll. Texas, a 13-14 victim of Oklahoma, held the No. 7 spot. Neely has good reason to remember the Texas line. The Longhorn defense permitted Rice to cross midfield into Texas territory only twice. Bill Dickey of the New York Yankees caught more than 100 games for 13 consecutive seasons. Big Duke, Davis Mix Tonight in LA LOS ANGELES (AP)—John L. Davis of Oakland, who holds both the California state lightweight and welterweight boxing titles, puts the latter on the line tonight against clever Bernard (Big Duke) Docusen of New Orleans at the Olympic auditorium. The match is billed for 12 rounds at a $5 top and figures to be an interesting battle between the crowding, gallery-pleasing Negro from the Bay and Docusen, a master boxer. Big Duke chopped out a decision over Davis last year but since then Davis has stormed back to win the two state crowns and twice whip local lightweight title challenger, Art Aragon.

HEINRICH PRAISED The brilliant Washington quarterback has had more football experts climbing on his bandwagon after every Saturday. Coach Henry (Sed) Sanders of UCLA, who came out yesterday as favoring Washington over Cal, said "I don't think there's a better college quarterback in the country than that boy." UCLA's only loss in conference competition was to the Huskies, 21-20. Standford's Coach Marchie Schwartz said Heinrich was the best passer he had seen all season. Dink Templeton, former Stanford track coach and now a writer and announcer, said after the Washington-Stanford game: "I saw a boy named Don Heinrich put on the greatest one-man show of the year. There is no greater passer in America. He's the new Frankie Albert. But that isn't all. The kid is a terrific quarterback and field general. He was faking the Stanford defense out of position all afternoon." DOWNHILL PLAY How may this be the key game in the conference battle for the Rose Bowl? Because, according to the dopesters, the winner will be over the hump. Each team has three games after that, and should go all the way. Washington would rate the in- side track because its remaining competition is weaker. It has yet to meet Washington State, Oregon and Southern California. None has shown much this season. California has two toughies left—UCLA and Stanford, both at Berkeley, with the University of San Francisco in between. SINCE 1937 If Washington wins the football "run for the Roses" it will be the first appearance of a regulation Husky team at Pasadena since Jan. 1, 1937. A war-time outfit went to the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 1944, to play SC for the split-conference title. Sadly enough, no Washington team ever has won a Rose Bowl game. In 1924, the Huskies played Navy to a 14-14 tie, in 1926 they lost to Alabama 20-19, in 1937 they were shut out by Pittsburgh 21-0, and in 1944 SC won 29-0. California has represented the Coast the past two years at Pasadena, losing both games—first to Northwestern, 20-14, and then to Ohio State, 17-14.

WILSON SQUASHES Michigan State Rose Bowl Move CHICAGO (AP) — Any hopes Michigan State, winner of five out of six starts thus far, might have of going to the Rose Bowl were squelched today. K. L. (Tug) Wilson, Big Ten athletic commissioner, said that a ruling of May, 1949, was made by the conference permitting only a championship contender to play the final two games in the five year series which ends next New Year's Day. Michigan State, which includes Michigan and Notre Dame among its victims, is a member-in-name-only of the conference. The Spartans begin football championship play in 1953. With only a loss to Maryland (34-7) marring their record, the Spartans have lately been boomed from several quarters as the Midwest's delegate to the 1951 Pasadena classic. A new Rose Bowl pact, if one is ever signed by the Big Ten and Pacific Coast conferences, may prove less stringent than the current contract and leave a possibility for a Michigan State bid in 1952 or '53. Center fielder Tris Speaker made two unassisted double plays during the 1918 season. has been good enough to win two times is good enough to win again, Keith had the Bs at their usual Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday chores again yesterday—running plays.
