Eddie Sawyer Picked SPORTSCOPE Temple's Pigskin Posse in Third 'Must Game'; Seeks First Points in Nittany Lion's Lair As NL Pilot of Year By JOHN WEBSTER mZT7 fr rfr Qo mo 0 tj Phils Leader Wide Choice in UP Poll; Stengel Selected in AL by One Vote By CARL LUND QUI ST NEW YORK, Oct. 24 (UP). Eddie Sawyer, one of the few persons who believed his Phillies could win the pennant, was an overwhelming choice today as National League manager of the year, but it was a different story in the American League, wher Casey Stengel, of the Yankees, won by only one vote in the selections by the United Press.

Sawyer was named on 20 of 24 ballots by veteran baseball WITH a victory and a defeat to show for two "must games" this season, Temple University's football Owls come to the third of their key contests on Saturday at Beaver Field, State College, Pa. Their 7-6 triumph over Syracuse in September was equalized by the 26-20 defeat at the hands of Rutgers less than two weeks ago.

Here's the incongruous story of Owls with goose-eggs.

Penn State tallied 13 points in 1943, upped the score production to 27 two years later, made it 26 in '46 and really ran wild in '48 for a 47-0 walkover. Incidentally, the 1945 defeat was the season's only setback for Temple. On the very next Saturday, the Owls whipped a previously unbeaten Holy Cross team, one coached by John (Ox) DaGrosa, who already had an Orange Bowl invitation in his nants nnrkpt whpn tVi nwl rphntmH I '6 AL KAWAL hit him. No, Temple's coaches are not finding it necessary to "fire" their charges to a fighting pitch in these days of preparation. They need only produce the record at the Lion's lair, which should give a rough ldeaof the pitched battle in prospect.

Temple, now in its 26th season of intercollegiate football, has done better than so-so. It has a winning- percentage of .600 over the years, during which time the Owls have battled some of the Ration better teams. The record against Penn State hasn't been fancy, however eight victories for the Lions, three for the Owls. When the rivalry began in 1931, Temple's Heinie Miller and states Bob Higgins were opposing head coaches. The two had been Walter Camp's All-America end choices on the 1919 team.

Temple won the 1931 game, repeated the following season. After a considerable lapse, the series was resumed in 1940 "Hig" was still on the job at Penn State, but Ray Morrison had become head man for the Templars. State, with a crack aggregation, won, 18-0. However, the following year, Andy Tomasic had one of his many great days, and Jed Temple, almost single-handedly, to a sparkling 14-0 decision. That was, however, to prove the end of the line for the Owls.

State has won all the seven engagements since that time. During the war years, Temple was forced to use teen-agers and boys turned down for military service. State had the advantage of Navy V-12 personnel, and always enough to win, although the beardless Temples sometimes extended but never bearded the more experienced Lions. For instance, there was the '44 game, one of the greatest ever played at Temple Stadium, with Penn State gaining the 7-to-6 verdict. Three years later, Penn State took home a 7-0 victory, chiefly through the efforts of Fran Rogel, noio a promising rookie with Pittsburgh's Steelers.

Fran's fourth-down plunge, advancing the ball a matter of an inch, enabled the Centre countians to continue a ground attack that eventually yielded the touchdoion. Starter George Palmer helps Jockey Church, thrown when Yogi went down. Palmer is aided by his son, Marshall, assistant starter. Church suffered a fractured right wrist and bruised left leg. Penn Squad Gets Warning On Navy's Varied Defenses By ART MORROW Pennsylvania already has been installed as a seven-and-a-half point favorite in Saturday's battle of Franklin Field, but Coaches George Munger, Paul Riblett, Rae Crowther and Bill Talarico warned the Quakers yesterday that Navy is equipped with a mirror-maze defense.

The purpose of a lengthy offensive scrimmage at River Field yesterday was to acquaint the Pennsylvanians with the Middies' PENN STATE'S team last year was fair, though some cuts below its earlier powerhouse combinations. Still, it was good enough to win, 28-7, over a bedraggled band of Templars, battered and worn in successive Saturdays with Michigan State and Boston U. However, as they'd done in '45, the Owls came back from the State defeat and wound up the season in victory by defeating Holy Cross. On Saturday, Temple will be facing a Nittany team that has been pounded by Army (probably the best), socked by Syracuse and smacked by Nebraska. Those defeats were not unexpected as the Lions sought to get their wing-T, instituted by the new head coach.

Rip Engle, late of Brown, into working order. Temple always found State's single wing too rugged for handling. Maybe the Owls will do better against the wing-T. It's high time Temple did some good against the Nittany squad, particularly in the Lion's own lair. Garden State's wagering continues astonishingly up from 1949 As the first 15 days of autumn racing ended on Saturday, the mutuel handle was up 11.4 percent over last fall with a current daily average of $1,150,379 Including the spring meeting, the 1950 increase stands at 3.4 percent The 41st Berwick (Pa.)

Y. Army Retains No. 1 Place Over SMU in UP Ratings By LEO H.

PETERSEN NEW YORK, Oct. 24 (UP). Army continued today as the Nation's No. 1 football team, but Southern Methodist and Oklahoma closed in on the Cadets in the United Press ratings as Notre Dame dropped completely out of the running. The once-mighty Fighting Irish, who led 1950's pre-season and first two weekly ratings, failed to receive a single point in the compilation based on the selections of 35 of the Nation's outstanding writers from each of the eight National League cities, while Stengel, who won his second straight pennant and world championship, barely beat out Red Rolfe, of the Detroit Tigers, 10 votes to nine.

DUROCHER CONSIDERED In the National, the only other manager to receive consideration was Leo Durocher, whose New York Giants surged at mid-season, after a miserable start and wound up playing the best ball in the loop. Durocher got the other four votes. The American votes were divided among Stengel, Rolfe and Bucky Harris, of Washington, who pulled the Senators up from last to fifth place, despite the fact they had been popularly consigned to the cellar again at the start of the season. Harris received five votes. TWO-YEAR SUCCESS STORY Sawyer's was a two-year success story which had its culmination in the winning of the first flag for the Phillies in 35 years.

Last year, taking charge of his crew of youngsters and building their confidence, he landed them in third place, a feat which won him general acclaim as the No. 1 manager for 1949 in the. National League. This season, making few replacements, he cashed in on his team's added experience, sent them flying ahead of the field at mid-season with just enough momentum td win out on the final day over Brooklyn, despite the loss of ace lefthander Curt Simmons to the National Guard and kid jitters which belatedly overtook his squad. MADE NOTATION Without telling anybody, the soft-speaking former college professor made a notation on a slip of paper at the start of the season and stuck it into a desk drawer.

It stated simplv that "we can win the pennant." But to those who spproached him in spring training and as the team started breezing along during the season, he had but one answer "We'll be lucky to finish as high as we did a year ago." Sawyer's technique differed entirely from Stengel's, who developed an almost magic touch in shifting players at positions where he needed strengthening. Whereas Sawyer picked a starting lineup and stuck to it except when injuries forced replacements, Stengel jockeyed outfielders, first basemen and third basemen about in a mystifying manner. When Tommy Henrich faltered because of a bad knee at first base, he brought in Joe Collins and Collins kept going until Johnny Mize made a great comeback and slugged the team into the lead with a homerun spree. There were only four players in the lineup who weren't subject to shifts catcher Yogi Berra, shortstop Phil Rizzuto, second baseman Jerry Coleman and outfielder Joe DiMaggio. LAGGARDS ALL YEAR Laggards all year until the vital stretch run, the Yankees suddenly roared from behind and overtook Detroit, then went on to sweep the Phillies four straight in the World Series.

Rolfe got major consideration for the manner in which he held the Tigers together after the loss of star pitcher Virgil Trucks and the injury for an important period to Lefty Ted Gray. The Tigers held the lead most of the campaign, but couldn't stay in there when the pitching got too thin. Harris, with a club on paper that looked like it deserved the "last-place label," kept clean his quarter-of-a-century managerial record of never finishing last. Durocher, getting his pitching in a deadly rotation that made it the most effective staff in the league, had plenty of experts making his Giants a long range choice to be hot contenders in 1951. Michigan Back Breaks Arm in Practice ANN ARBOR, Oct.

24 (UP). Michigan's right halfback, Frank Howell broke his left arm today in a light workout, jolting the Wolverine chances of winning a fourth straight Big Ten title. The 165-lb. scat-back from Muskegon, suffered the arm fracture while participating i a "no-tackling" pass defense practice against the freshmen. He went up in the air to knock down a pass and pinned his arm under his back when he landed.

Howell took over regular Leo Koceski wingback spot when Koceski injured fiis knee in the Army game two weeks ago. Filly Killed, Jockey Hurt In Workout Accident SALEM. N. Oct. 24 (AP).

Fatal Lady, a three-year-old filly owned by Mrs. Lyle Philips, was killed today while working out at Rockingham Park race track, and her exercise boy, William McMullen, 20, of Fall River, was injured. The horse bolted and went through a railing, the wood piercing its heart.

The future Admirals, fresh from an upset conquest of the University of Southern California, probably will offer a greater variety of defenses than Penn saw in all four of its earlier games, according to John Donaldson, Munger's Annapolis agent. FIVE TO NINE-MAN LINES They station from five to nine men up front, with three or two backers-up. The line-backers may shoot through the wall into the Penn backfield; they may simply move up to plug gaps, or they may stand until completely analyzing the play. Or the Middies may loop, pulling out either the guards or tackles and bringing them around in an arc to slant into holes sometimes made intentionally inviting for the ball-carrier. Navy's use of the looping line is particularly interesting to Penn, which in the past has itself resorted to the maneuver.

In fact, Penn's Crowther is credited with having originated the idea in the mid-30's while working with Dick Harlow at LOOPING GAMBLE Admittedly, the looping line is a gamble, usually employed only against superior forces. If the linemen happen to guess wrong, and circle away from the direction of the offense, the ball-carrier may go all the way. But if they guess right, the carrier runs into more than he bargained for at the line. In any event, the loop keeps its proponents out of mouse-traps, a strategem much favored by the Red and Blue in thrusts from formation. A 225-pound tackle, Paul Tetrault, and a trio of adroit linebackers, Dave Bannerman, Bernie Botula and Ted Kukowski, take much of the risk out of Navy's loop.

But Dartmouth, with defenses designed to stop Penn's buck-lateral series, came a-cropper when the Quakers placed their main reliance in the single-wing, and sent Captain Reds Bagnell scurrying and passing to a new National record of 490 yards. The fiery tailback leads the East in total yardage after four games and 137 plays. He has completed 38 of 68 passes for 602 yards and four touchdowns, with not one interception. He has figured in 69 rushes for Continued on Page 44, Column 4 title bout with Bobo Olson. Honolulu middleweight, tomorrow night at Convention Hall.

When his day's work was done at the jam-packed Olympia Gym, Sugar Ray returned the 140-odd miles to Greenwood Lake, via train and motor. In facing Olson in the contest staged by the Arena Corporation, the Harlem boxing master (a great champion of welters) expects to eliminate a Hawaiian contender for middleweight laurels. Following that match, Ray will, so his manager, Big George Gainford, ap-nounces, take on any likely customer. They are eager for one match in particular, a clash with Australia's Dave Sands, the British Empire titlist. "I've been trying to get a fight with that fellow," grumbled Gain-ford while he waited for Robinson to don his working clothes.

"I don't know where we'll catch up with him, though. We'd even fight him in his home town just to get the chance to eliminate him as a championship contender!" Naturally, time and mileage could be saved if Robinson were to get LaMotta into the ring for a sixth time. There can be little argument that Sugar Ray is the world's lead-ins: middleweight, less that he's the Woodford Sir Wins by Length At Garden State By TEDDY COX W. M. Wickham's Woodford Sir showed an impressive effort against his rivals in the Woodcrest Purse at Garden State Park yesterday before 12,100.

The 5-year-old son of War Dog-Perjured was ridden to victory by Joe Culmone, who -was completing a triple for the day. At the finish, Woodford Sir was a length ahead of Mrs. E. H. Nelson's Sun Bahram, while a similar distance away came Grandview Stable's Artist Life.

J. M. Roebling's Admiral Drake was an unimpressive fourth, after a rather rough journey, much of which was caused by restraining tactics which he seemed to resent. Woodford Sir raced over the mile and one sixteenth route in 1.45 1-5 and returned $7.60. He carried 119 pounds.

The day's handle was YOGI BREAKS LEG The Woodcrest undoubtedly would have resulted in a different order of finish had it not been for an untimely accident at the sixteenth pole. At that point, Yogi, owned by the estate of William Helis, was moving along at a good clip and he seemed to be a cinch to score. But he snapped his left foreleg and tossed Kenny Church heavily to the ground. The gelding also veered directly into the path of Kinsman, who did not seem to be going places. Church had the wind knocked out of him and was forced to cancel his remaining mounts.

Later, at Cooper Hospital, it was reported Church suffered a broken right wrist and a bruised left leg. Yogi was destroyed. ARTIST LIFE TAKES LEAD Artist was first to find his best stride and Admiral Drake was snugged to keep from going to the front. This caused the latter to go over on his field and he bothered Sun Bahram, who was forced to pull up on the proverbial dime. Artist Life continued to lead going down the back, but when Woodford Sir was turned loose he quickly swept around and took over, then opened a commanding advantage.

Halfway around the bend, Yogi, who usually is a slow beginner, found his top stride and at the head of the stretch he picked up the contenders. Woodford Sir's advantage very definitely was menaced when Yogi broke his leg. JUNGLE FEAST VICTOR D. G. Neuman, who claimed the gelding Jungle Feast from his most recent race for $5500, dropped him down slightly against his opposition in the Ardmore Purse and reaped a quick payment.

Jungle Feast beat Vera Cotton's Sir Sweep. Third in the six-furlong sprint was Windsor Farm's Major Kay. Jungle Feast paid $5.60, and he raced the distance in 1 12. After the race, Jungle Feast once again found a new home, for he was haltered by the Bernadotte Stable for $5000. Joe Culmone piloted a pair of winners Chance Cloud in the second and Kit Bag in the third.

Death Ends Fight Of Georgia Golfer ATLANTA, Oct. 24 (UP). Robert Emmett (Bob) McCoy, former Atlanta city golf champion, died of leukemia today. His death ended McCoy's gallant fight against the disease he learned he had three years ago. McCoy refused to give up his normal life, although he was told his life expectancy was not more than 18 months.

About the time doctors estimated he probably would die, McCoy won the city golf championship for the second time. Previously he was city champ in 1940. Just three weeks ago McCoy went to the semi-finals of a local championship match before he became (acutely ill and defaulted. outstanding challenger. Still, neither Robby nor Gainford believes Jake, the Bronx possum, will fight him, as agreed and perhaps signed, for the title next Feb.

14 at the Chicago Stadium. "Jake convinced the National Boxing Association members last month he meant to fight us." remarked the burly pilot. "The International Boxing Club is supposed to have LaMotta signed for the match but that doesn't mean anything. Jake was fussing about the television deal in Chicago that was an out, I guess. We're signed, but that doesn't mean we're going to get the fight.

"If the fight's still on down to the last few days. I'm convinced something will happen to Jake. He'll get himself hurt. That's happened before. So, we're not counting much on that fight." Robby, when still seeking the w-elter honors, whipped huskier LaMotta in four of their five meetings.

The decision he lost to Jake "all the officials gave me seven 10 rounds but I lost on points!" was the only defeat suffered by the Harlemite in 11 years of campaigning and 120 fights. When Sugar Ray Continued on Page 45, Column 2 Reagan, Craft Join Eagle Drill For Redskins "We know how he runs. He did plenty of damage to us in the All-Siar game. This time you've got to stop Charley Justice or Washington will knock us off." The quotes are those of head coach Greasy Neale who gave his Eagles a short straight-from-the-shoulder lecture in the Shibe Park dressing room just before practice. Neale con tinually warns his players they can't afford to let down against any team and even thougti the Eagles have won their last four in a row, seven games still remain to play.

The squad appeared in good shape yesterday. Frank Reagan and Russ Craft, who suffered pulled muscles in the Pittsburgh game last Sunday, worked out with the rest of the group running through pass patterns and drilling against Washington formations. Pat McHugh, who suffered a sprained ankle last Sunday, did some light running as did Jim Parmer, who missed the Pittsburgh game en- tirely. Parmer received a bruised ankle in the Baltimore game two weeks ago. Trainer Frank Wiechec put the boys through a series of calisthenics before and after the practice.

If, Parmer can play against the Skins it will enhance the Eagles' chances of copping their fifth straight. Gilmer Has Beaten Baugh Out of Job WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 (AP). After two long, trouble-filled years, the little guy from Alabama has made the pro football grade at last. And Harry Gilmer has done it the hard way.

For the time being at least, he has beaten Sam Baugh out of a job as the pass master of the Washington Redskins. Last Sunday, against the Chicago Cardinals, Gilmer played almost the entire game on offense and threw three touchdown passes aside from steering the club smoothly. Tne 'Skins scored in each period. But the real newrs was on the bench. There sat Sam Baugh, a local landmark almost as famous as the Washington Monument.

Everything looked pretty much as usual. Baugh was wearing No. 33. He had his helmet off, and the wind played with his thinning hair. But there was this difference.

For once nobody, including Coach Herman Ball was paying much attention to Uhe 36-year-old Baugh. It was the first time that a hearty Baugh, in his 14th year as a pro. had had to play second fiddle to anybody. Keene Rides 6 Chicago Winners CHICAGO, Oct. 24 (AP.

Harold (Red) Keene, 26 year old veteran from Lowell, established a modern Illinois riding record today by booting Home six winners out of eight mounts at Sportsman's Park today. It was the first time a jockey had scored with six winners in Chicago since W. Overton had six-in-six at old Washington Park in 1891. The American record is seven winners out of eight mounts. It was established by J.

Sylvester at now-defunct Ravenna Park in Ohio in 1930. Keene, always a bearcat at half-mile Sportsman's and contract jockey for William Hal Bishop of Anna, 111., rode the first four winners on the card before a chilled ladies' day gathering of 6879. Keene started out with Hilltop Stock Farm's Sgt. Brown at $9.40 in the opener, and came back with Mrs. Carl Blair's Junior Wolf in the second at $5.60 to account for a $22.60 daily double.

Of Keene's next four winners, three of the horses were owned by Ben Fogelson and one by his employer. Bishop. Bishop's Big Inch returned $33.80 in the fourth race. Keene's three victors for Fogelson were So Fair, $8.40, third race. Ration Book, $8.80, seventh race, and Here He Is, $4.80, in the eighth.

The redhead finished third aboard Bishop's Atomic Fire in the fifth heat, and was out of the money on Late Thread, another Bishop color-bearer, in the sixth. Browns Re-Sign Taylor as Pilot ST. LOUIS, Oct. 24 (UP). ZacK Taylor will return under a one-year contract as manager of the 1951 St.

Louis Browns, Bill DeWitt. club president, announced tonight. DeWitt said Taylor agreed on terms in a telephone conversation with the Brownie pilot at his winter home at Orlando, Fla. The Brownie president also announced that Clin Fannin, veteran right-handed pitcher, today became the first player to sign his 1951 contract. Salary was not revealed.

i NEW YORK, Oct. 24 (UP). Walter O'Malley, new strong-armed man of the Brooklyn Dodgers, inadvertently disclosed tonight that Branch Rickey would not be back with the club as general manager in 1951. Jt is almost- certain that Fresco Thompson, current director of the Dodgers extensive farm system, will be named to succeed Rickey. The announcement is due late Thursday afternoon after a meeting of the Dodgers' board of directors.

ZECKENDORF BLOCKED O'Malley made the disclosur shortly after announcing that and Mrs. John L. Smith, widow of the late penicillin king, would "exercise their prior right" and buy Rickey's 25 percent interest in th club. Their move "froze out" William Zeckendorf, New York realtor, who had offered Rickey slightly less than $1,000,000. It was understood that Baseball Commissioner A.

B. Chandler frowned on Zeckcndorf's entrance into the game. O'Malley was trapped into his disclosure during point-blank questioning by reporters. "You may be certain," he said, "that for the next seven or eight years Mr. Rickey will be credited with the victories of the Brooklyn ball club and that It's losses will be charged to somebody else." Asked directly whether that meant Rickey definitely was out, O'Malley replied: "I think I've saidtoo much.

Let's break up the meeting." PRAISES THOMPSON Asked if there were "logical successors" to Rickey within the Dodger organization, he replied: "Yes, several." In answer to a question whethrr Fresco Thompson "could handle th job," he said: "My relations both social and on a business basis with Fresco Thompson have been on the highest level." There was no doubt that O'Malley who now holds the balance of power in the Brooklyn front office-was the -man forcing Rickey out. Behind the move was a deep resentment over Rickey's sudden announcement a month ago that he had offered his stock for sale. Ford Accepted For Army Service NEW YORK, Oct. 24 (AP). Edward (Whitey) Ford, 22-year-old rookie pitcher with the New York Yankees, was accepted for Arrfiy duty today.

He probably will be called within a month. The youngster joined the club In mid-season from the Yankees' Kansas City farm (American Association) and compiled a record of nine victories and one defeat in the last half of the season. He pitched the club's final victory in the World Series. Ford took his physical examination on Oct. 10 and the decision was delayed until today as doctors decided if he had completely recovered from a tropical disease picked up in Mexicr two years ago.

Mrs. duPont Rated First In World NEW YORK, Oct. 24 (UP). Frank Sedgman, Australia, and Mrs. Margaret Osborne duPont, Bellevue, were picked today as the world's outstanding amateur tennis players by Edward Potter, in the 12th of his series of rankings for the magazine American Lawn Tennis.

Potter placed Wimbledon champion Budge Patty, Los Angeles, second to Sedgman and chose Doris Hart, Jacksonville, as runner-up to Mrs. duPont but said no player dominated either the men's or women's division. He ranked Sedgman, the Australian champion, first because of his victories over Tom Brown, San Francisco, and Ted Schroeder, La Cre-centa, in the Davis Cup finals, and because of his triumph over Art Larsen, San Francisco, at Wimbledon. Potter ranked Mrs. duPont first in the women's division because she won her third U.

S. title and reached the finals at Wimbledon. Miss Hart edged out Louise Brouh, the Wimbledon champion from Beverly Hills, Calif for second place on the basts of victories in the clay court and Eastern grass court tournaments, the French championships and the London lawn tennis competition. Schroeder was ranked third in the men's division with Larsen fourth. Jaroslav Drobny.

Egypt, won fifth place and Herb Flam, Beverly HilLs took the sixth spot. Eric Sturgess, South Africa, was seventh: Brown, eighth; Lennart Bergelin. Sweden, ninth, and Ken McGregor, Australia, 10th. In the women's section, Mrs. Patricia Canning Todd, La Jolla, Calif-was ranked fourth behind Miss Brough, and Shirley Fry, Akron.

was fifth. Nancy Chafee, Ventura, was sixth; Jean Walker-Smith, Britain, seventh; Beverly Baker, Santa Monica. eighth; Barbara Scofield, San Francisco, ninth, and Betty Hilton Harrison. Britain, 10th. Sieve's Swan Song Van Huron Says This Is Last Year STEVE VAN BUREN, the Philadelphia Eagles' owner of the all-time ground-gaining record in the National Football League, yesterday said this is his last year of football.

Although he's said it before, this time Steve insists he means it. Coach Greasy Neale indicated he's not worrying yet about his ace's retirement plans. Van Buren has been hampered by injuries all season, including a toe ailment which caused him to miss several games following an operation. He played in the Eagles' last two contests after receiving novo-caine injections for pain from the toe and some rib cartilage separations. "Next year I'm not even going to read about football," Steve said.

"I can't run like I used to and I can't get my legs in shape," he said. The holder of six NFL records has gained 192 yards on 47 carries this season for an average of better than four yards per carry. 2 Harness Drivers Hurt in Spill YONKERS, N. Oct. 24 AP) Stanley Dancer and Del MacTavish, harness horse drivers, were taken to St.

John's Hospital tonight after a four-horse spill. The extent of their injuries was not immediately known. The accident occurred at the head of the stretch in the $2000 feature, the Sunnyside Pace. Three of the horses involved in the accident got up immediately with no apparent injury. My Scott, a 10-year-old black stallion driven by Paul Vineyard, suffered a fracture of the right front leg and probably will be destroyed.

Reese Harrington, owner of My Scott, was reached in his Harrington (Del.) home and asked that everything possible be done to try to save the horse. Williams TKOs Taylor in 7th TOLEDO. Oct. 24 (AP). Johnny Williams, New York City, scored a technical knockout over Chuck Taylor.

Coalport, tonight at the Police-Firemen's fifth annual fight show. Williams, 144I2 pounds, was ahead points when the fight was stopped at the end of the seventh round because of a cut over the 145 i-pound Taylor's right eye. The referee, Lavern Keller, was the only one knocked down during the fight. He hit the canvas after the bell in the fifth when he tried to separate the fighters and as hit by both of them. In the second featured bout, Billy Robinson Trains Here for Olson Bout Graham.

New York City, replacing Stanford, wasfiing I iootoan coacnes. For the third week in a row the coaches put Army on top, but SMU and Oklahoma gained support, probably because they have played, and still face, a heavier schedule than the undefeated Cadets. ARMY HAS TWO-POINT EDGE Army received 21 first-place votes and ran up a total of 314 points, 31 more than the Mustangs and Soon-ers. The latter two teams tied for second place on a point basis, but SMU was given the runner-up berth because it received nine first-place votes, against three for Oklahoma. Army last week received 25 firsts and 315 of a possible 350 points.

SMU, third last week with 249 points, gained 34 points, while Oklahoma, second a week ago picked up four. Rounding out the top 10 were California, Ohio State, Kentucky, Texas, Tennessee, Illinois and Cor- jnell, in that order. The last three teams were newcomers the select ton and Notre Dame.
