Lead College Polls; Notre Dame is Final Hurdle use Guns for National Title By BOB GREEN Associated Press Sports Writer As has happened so often in the past, Notre Dame again holds the key to the national collegiate football championship. Coach Joe Kuharich's lads from South Bend aren't in the running for the crown their old grads won eight times, biit the outcome of their game with Southern Califor nia Saturday well could be the determining factor in this year's championship. Southern California, with the Bose Bowl berth in hand and an unbeaten, untied season in sight, closes its regular season against the Fighting Irish in Los Angeles. The Trojans, unbeaten in nine games, fought off a strong challenge by Big Ten champion Wisconsin and retained the No. 1 spot in weekly Associated Press rankings.

The national champion will be determined in next week's final poll of the season. Southern Cal, which secured the Big Six title in a 14-3 comeback triumph over UCLA, gained 19 of 43 first place votes and 397 points on the basis of 10 for first, nine for second and so on. Wisconsin (8-1) closed its season '-and won the visiting spot in the Rose Bowl with a 14-9 victory over Minnesota. The Badgers advanced from third to second in the rankings, just 37 points back of Southern California. They took nine first place votes.

(UPI)-Stan ford University Coach Cactus Jack Curtice whose team finished this year with a mediocre 5-5 record was fired Monday. Though Curtice would not admit his services were no longer wanted by the Indians, a high authori tative source confirmed the action of Athletic Director Alfred R. Masters. Curtice, reached at his Palo Alto, home, said he was honor-bound to silence by Masters.

But he indicated he would not be around the Stanford campus next year by expressing concern about moving his young son to a different school. "You do the best you can on a job and hope it's good enough," said Curtice. "Sometimes. it isn't." Curtice had been coach at Stanford for five years and his firing has been the subject of discussion for three of them. One Stanford spokesman said the question of whether to replace the jovial bespectacled coach has been a subject of discussion for "some time." Though his teams have shown flashes of brilliance, he never has finished a season here with more wins than losses.

Curtice's best year has been this one. He wound up winning the "big game" California tlie second year in a row- last Saturday to end the season with a 5-5 record. California Coach Marv Levy, whose season record is 1-9 recently received a new two-year contract.

Badgers, Gophers Dominate AlLLeague Team INSURANCE By ED SAINSBURY CfflCAGO (UPI) The strong points of Big Ten football champion Wisconsin and runner up Minnesota were reflected today in the 1962 All Conference team picked for United Press International by the 10 league coaches.

The Badgers, the league leader in team offense, and beaten only once in nine games, placed two men, the league leader in pa.ss receptions, Pat Richter, at end, and the league leader in both passing and total offense, quarterback Ron VanderKelcn. Minncsotii, the league's top defensive team, placed three of the rugged linemen who carried the Gophers to six wins, two losses and one tie, guard Julian Hook, tackle Bobby Bell and end John Campbell. Only one other team, Ohio State, in a third place tie, could cJaim more than one position on the honor eleven, and the Buckeyes placed 189 pound center Bill Saimes made the team, but a year ago Saimes was placed at a halfback spot. It also was the second year that Ferguson made tlie all conference eleven, but his previous appearance was in 1960. He missed the 1961 season due to a knee injury.

Bell, an All America last year, was the only unanimous choice of the coaches, and he was placed 170 Top Golfers In Tournament WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. places in the West Palm Beach Open Golf Tournament go up for grabs today and 140 pros and 30 amateurs will go after them.

Richter, Cvercko, Saimes, derKelcn and Warfield, however, were nearly unanimous. Every league member except Michigan placed at least one athlete on the 33-man squad of three teams.

Minnesota, with Carl Eller on the second team and both Bill Munsey and Jerry Jones on the thii'd team, and Wisconsin, with Steve Underwood, Jim Schenk, Roger Pillath and Lou Holland all on the third team, each had six players overall. Other second team players were Gary Moeller, Robert Vogel and Matt Snell of Ohio State, Rich Butkus of Illinois, Earl McQuiston of Iowa, Tom Myers and Paul Flatley of Northwestern, Marv Woodson of Indiana, and Roy Walker of Purdue. Others on the third team were Ernie Clark, Ed Budde and Dave Behrman, Michigan State, Thurman Walker, Illinois, and Ron Yanks Deal Bill For LA Pitcher Skowron Williams By JOE REICMLER Associated Press Sports Writef ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP )-The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees, two of baseball's powers, were squarely on the spot today following a daring major inter-league trade that sent first baseman Bill Skowron to the Dodgers in exchange for front-line pitcher Stan Williams. Yankee manager Ralph Houk admitted he was loath to part with Skowron, 31, who helped bring seven pennants in nine years to the New York club.

He said it was a trade the Yankees had to make. "I felt we just had to get another established starting pitcher if we were to win the pennant again next year," he said. "Trading Skowron was one of the toughest decisions I ever had to make." The departure of Williams, 26, who won 14 games for the Dodgers last season, was the first move by Dodger general manager E. J. Bavasi, who had vowed to make changes on the club that blew the National League flag in' a playoff after going into the final week with a four-game lead.

"We're not through trading by any means," Bavasi promised. We're going to make a few more before the meetings are ended." Bavasi hailed Skowron as "the guy who can supply us with the much-needed right-handed punch we lacked last year." Skowron slammed 23 home runs and drove in 80 runs last season. Williams figures to team up with southpaw Whitey Ford and right-handers Ralph Terry, Bill Stafford and young Jim Bouton to form a five-man starting staff for the Yankees. In a trade of much lesser impact, the Washington Senators sent Harry Bright, a catcher-first baseman, to the Cincinnati Reds for rookie first baseman Rogelio Alvarez. Bright, 33, a right-handed hitter, slammed 17 home runs and drove in 67 runs in 113 games for the last-place Senators.

Alvarez, 24, was the Pacific Coast League All-Star first baseman, where he hit .318, slammed 18 home runs and drove in 75 runs for the San Diego club. on tL I JOE With the exception of activity the University before the policy Lou Holland Is Scoring Champ In Big Ten CHICAGO' (AP)-Halfback Lou Holland, a Wisconsin junior, won the Big Ten all-games scoring championship after gaining the lead only one week before the sea.son ended.

5 0 0 30 in the professional ranks, a few scattered college games this weekend and bowl contests sched uled for the holidays, football has been "benched" until next fall with basketball getting the call. On the local front round ball participants will see action this weekend with both Galesburg and Knox college teams opening on the road. The Siwashers will be at Lawrence Friday and Ripon Saturday while the Streaks will settle for a game at Peoria Manual Saturday night. Many area teams are also to be tested under fire this weekend, a few of them tonight, but Corpus Christi cagers will have to wait until next week. The Friars open with a Little Six Conference game at ROVA on Dec.

7. The weekend of Dec. 7-8 all three local basketball teams will play at home. Consensus is that this will be ad interesting season for local cage enthusiasts witli optimism running high at both Galesburg and Knox and a similar atmosphere existing at Corpus Christi. The Friars will be lacking experience, a commodity not wanting at Galesburg and Knox, but hope to overcome this deficiency with speed and competitive spirit.

Rex Davis is in his fkst year at the Friar cage helm, -J- Galesburg and area fans will get plenty of baslcetball this winter over WGIL. The local radio station will carry 56 live broadcasts of basketball games during the coming season, with none of them to be taped. In addition to all Galesburg encounters a number of Knox and Corpus Christi games will be carried as well as area contests. Most of the play-by-play accounts will be handled by sports director Dale Adkins. -J- Apparently Nebraska University boosters are not the only fans paying premiums on a costly insurance policy as an inducement to keep their coach.

Two weeks ago we told about a $200,000 policy which was taken on coach Bob Devaney, Nebraska Football coach, by Cornhusk- cr fans. Since then, however, we learned that Missouri fans started a similar policy a few years ago. Fans and alums of the University of Missouri pay the annual premium on a $150,000 life insurance policy for Dan Devine, Missouri's soft-spoken coach. The policy, started about three years ago, according to Bill Callahan, athletic department publicity director, increases in value each year. The premium will be paid for Devine as long as he remains Tiger coach.

Should he leave reaches the full $150,000, it will be turned over to him at its current value. The above information was submitted by Christy Bulkeley, sophomore at tlie University of Missouri who worked in the Galesburg Register-Mail news room last summer. -J- According to word around the National Football League, there is still bad blood between the San Francisco 49'ers and the Baltimore Colts. This was brought about because the Colts snapped up R. C.

Owens when he played out his 49'er option last year. Word also has it that the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears turned down R. C. when he sent out feelers. It now appears that veteran 01- lie Matson, warming the bench for the Rams while his option expires, is the next to go.

The club tried to get waivers on him. Open Sale of Friar Season Cage Tickets Father Richard J. Means, athletic dn-ector of Corpus Christi High School, announced today the sale of reserved seat season tickets for the 1962-63 Friars' basketball season.

With the re-enti7 of Corpus Christi High School into the Little Six Conference there is renewed interest in the round ball sport by Corpus Christi followers.
