(JP)Tha Texas Aggies, Southwest Conference kingpins, are the football team of the year, in the opinion of 110 sports editors and football experts who participated in the final Associated Press ranking poll of the season. Chosen for the No. 1 spot by 65 voters, the Aggie polled points, on the basis of 10 for first place, nine for second, etc. Tennessee, second a week ago, fell more than 100 points behind with 28 first-place votes and a 970-polnt total, while the Vols' Rosa Bowl rival, Southern Call-fornia, came in with a third place total of 891, Jwt beating out Cornell by two points. While the Aggies were impressive all season, neither Tennessee nor Southern Cal set the world afire in last Saturday's concluding games, and that apparently accounted for the switch in sentiment.

Tennessee beat Auburn only 7-0, while the Trojans played a scoreless tie with UCLA. The UCLANS, on the strength of that tie, moved from ninth place In the ranking to seventh. Tulane, which will meet the Aggies in the Sugar Bowl, retained fifth place, while Missouri slipped Into sixth. Duke, sixth last week, dropped back to eighth. Iowa fell from eighth to ninth and Duquesne retained tenth.

Boston, Clemson Gala Ground Boston College and Clemson registered notable although neither played a game. They were selected to play each other In the Cotton Bowl, and more light was cast upon their records in the process. As a result they paced 11th and 12th, respectively.

Then Texas Christian, which dominated the Southwest Conference in 1938 just as the Aggies did this fall, were first and Tennessee Just about as far behind. Texas A. and of course, was nowhere in sight last season. Southern California was ranked seventh and Cornell 12th. TCU even polled 65 first-place votes.

The 1938 finul first 10 ranking was Texas Christian, Tennessee, Duke, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Carnegie Tech, Southern California, Pittsburgh, Holy Cross and Minnesota. pinti 85c II Quart. 1 65 flu HUT LEES-M'RAE Lees-McRae Bobcats, who last week topped King College 33 to 81 in a game at Banner Elk, N. breeze Into Bristol tonight seeking to hand the Tornado cagers another spanking in their own back yard.

The final acceptance today of Dobeon closed a period of a month's negotiation between him and shipyard officials, during whkh time he considered and was given refusal of two other at tractive collegiate offers and two in the ranks of the professionals. He declined the athletic directorship of two universities.

The Brooklyn football Dodgers wanted him on their coaching staff next year and the Pittsburgh baseball Pirates were bidding for his serv ices as a scout In passing up these offers, Dob-sen hinted that he was challenged by the coaching" possibilities and general set-up of the local voca tional school whose intercollegiate and intramural program he ex pected to further develop along a course agreed upon by him and the management of the shipyard.
