PORTALES, Nov. 30 New Mexico Junior college officials began tentative arriuigianicnts today for three- way playoff to determine the football champion of the New Mexico conference.

It's too bad I didn't have the picture at right to run before the recorif. Clevis- Portales football game, but I'm using it now because It's still plenty interesting. This picture was taken in 19i6, yet every one of the 12 persons in it is still nlive Which is reason enough for printing the picture, but it's interesting from several oilier standpoints. Only the first loam and the coach are shown in the picture. That's because they bad only 11 football suits.

In those days the subs, if any, went onto the field in baseball uniforms. The boys had to furnish their own suits, and a nondescript lot they were.

University of Pittsburgh, the unofficial. No. 1 choice, withdrew from the. picture when its football squad voted yesterday against playing 1 any post season games. While Kenneth Priestley, California's graduate I manager who eventually will make the official selection, maintained silence, sports writers rated Fordha mand Alabama about a toss-up for the invitation.

Has "No Comment" Priestley, who emerged from his silence only to tell persistent scribes he had "no comment" to make on the Pittsburgh action, would not say whether Pitt would have been invited anyway. Weber, treasurer of the athletic council at Pitt, said "we had invitations from the Sugar Bowl and the Cotton Bowl so we tossed in the Rose Bowl for consideration also and the boys decided they didn't want to play in any of them. so far as we are concerned if California should invite us we would have to reply negatively." Sources close to Priestley's office said the graduate manager probably would make the important announcement in a couple of days. Between Fordham and Alabama, the southern school has the better recovd, having finished the regular season unbeaten and untied. Undefeated Fordham, overwhelming choice of New York and most of the east, played a scoreless; tie with Pitt.

Aside from these two, there is some feeling that Minnesota or Dartmouth might be persuaded throw to the winds such things as final examinations and sentiment" frowning on post -season contests and accept an invitation if-offered. Insofar as Mr. John Public is concerned, it makes little difference who plays California New Year's Day. Practically all the 80,000 Rose Bowl seats are spoken for already. The 27,000 California alumni each may buy six tickets, and then the visiting team will be entitled to a block of ducats.

FINAL AP POLL RANKS PITT AT TOP NEW YORK, Nov. SO If you heed the fellows who look at footlmtt nnd write about It, Pitt's Pandiers nre the best collection of (ihiyera in tlie United States tills year niid there's not much room for argument. In the seventh and final weekly ranking poll of writers, made by The Associated Press, 29 of 33 experts through tlie country picked Pitt for first place. Two others split their ballot between Pitt and Fordham vVhlle single votes were cast for Fordham and Alabama for top rank. California earned second place in the balloting without getting one first place vote.

A year ago Minnesota beat out Louisiana State Jn the final poll, but for 1937 the Gophers wound up fifth and L. S. U. eighth. Here is the final tabulation with points on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis and the 1936 rankings of the teams: First Ten points 1936 rank.
