Six of the eight member schools are represented on the first, team, 455 252 233 160 156 153 127 122 73 65 place votes. But the point score on the usual basis of ten for each first place vote, nine for second and on down the line irade it even closer. The final score was Ohio State 3,670 points and UCLA 3594.

The standouts of the voting were ivo juniors, Bob Bartholomew, iiusky Wake Forest tackle, and Bob Pascal, Duke's fleet halfbac.k Each was a unanimous first team pick. Mincevich and Maryland end Bill Walker, also a junior, were close behind in the voting. The first line backfield of Duke's Pascal and Jerry Barger and Maryland's Dick Bielski and Ronnie Waller, averages 187.
