The Post-Register, Idaho Falls, Idaho, Nov. 19, 1946. Page I Army, Notre Dame Race Neck and Neck for Honors Penn, Texas Out; Southern Cal In Select Circle Georgia, UCLA In Struggle For Third Position By Sid Feder NEW YORK, Nov. 19. UP) It was still Army in a photo finish over Notre Dame Tuesday for the No.

1 among the football the honeymoon is definitely over for Pennsylvania and Texas. Balloting in the Associated weekly poll, the sports writers of the country left the careening Cadets from West Point at the head of the parade by the slim margin of 50 points over the Irish, with the unbeaten untied pair of Georgia and University of California at Los Angeles holding third and fourth, respectively. Penn, Texas Out But the 34-7 pounding Penn absorbed from Army last Saturday, and second upset setback of the one by Texas Christian dropped the Quakers and the Longhorns completely out of the select top ten set, with Louisiana State and Southern California moving up to replace them. Altogether, 110 sports writers from coast to coast and one from Honolulu voted for their leading ten selections after last scrambling. Of these, 58 put Army on top all alone, compared to 34 a week ago, and 16 voted the Irish In front.

Twenty three others called it a tie, voting for a two seater throne as a result of the scoreless deadlock the two outfits unfolded the previous week and the 27-0 decision the Irish were taking over Northwestern while the Cadets were clouting the Quakers last Saturday. The other 13 first place ballots were split between Georgia and UCLA, the Bulldogs collecting eight, compared to their 12 of last week, and the UCLANS getting five- two less than in the previous poll. Narrow Margin On a basis of ten points for a first place vote, nine for a second, eight for a third, and so forth, I Army rolled up 1053 points, just 50 more than the 1003 for Notre Dame, with Georgia collecting 835 and UCLA 760. Longest jump of the week was made by Illinois, which leaped from ninth to fifth place, with 527 points, as a result of the 16-7 vie- tory over Ohio State. Once beaten Georgia Tech, which whipped Tulane 35-7 Saturday and still has Georgia to tangle with on November 30, stepped up from seventh to sixth, with 425 points, and Tennessee moved up one notch to seventh with 328 as a result of the Vols' victory over Boston college.

Michigan advanced two places to eighth after whipping Wisconsin 28-6 Saturday. Louisiana State, beaten only once this season, and 20-7 conquerer of Miami in its latest trip to the post, climbed from 11th to ninth, with 139 points. Southern Trojans, who downed California and collide with UCLA November 23 for the Rose Bowl spot, round out the top ten with 107 points.

Looking it Over From My Corner By Joe Rlenkle Post-Register Sports Editor For a number of days, now, been hearing pro and con arguments stemming from road blocks in the Burley area and during the pheasant season, in which a large number of Utah and Idaho hunters were hauled into Coast Officials Study Big Nine Bowl Bid Duck Calendar Duck shooting next 10 days: DATE hours for the START STOP By The Associated Press Representatives of the Pacific Coast conference and the Western conference meet Tuesday in Berkeley, to take action on a proposal to send their respective football champions into the Rose bowl under a five year plan. There still was an outside chance, however, that the powerful Army squad might represent the east in the next Pasadena classic. The Western conference (Big Nine) was court for alleged game violations.

Closed Season Asked JEROME, Nov. 19. (A1) Farmer members of the Jerome Rod and Gun club Tuesday asked for a closed season on Pheasants in 1947, declaring that waves of hunters had bagged nearly every rooster pheasant in three counties which in past seasons have provided some of the best hunting In the state. Want Ads Get Results! pointing out that not much more than enough hunting hereabouts for the local talent, and casting a diget in the direction of Wyoming's sky high fees. Peder Pedersen is one whose affirmative cry has been conspicuous in its absence.

We wondered why, so we asked him. "Those fellows who are doing all of the hollering ought to take time out and think it he snorted. got enough here for everyone. I dont think we should campaign for an Idaho big enough and good enough for tourists and then try to keep them out by high fees. those fellows know Is that there are thousands of hunters hunting in the state every rimiute who never buy a license and who never will.

They respect our seasons, and they pay no attention to bag limits. the predators. "If these fellows doing all of the hollering would work just as hard against magpies, farm cats, coyotes and other predators, have enough hunting for everyone in Idaho ond Utah at the same Pete was quick to point out that he did not oppose an increased fee for out of state hunters, "if the money is put in the right meaning predator eradication campaigns. Somehow' his arguments seem pretty logical. Delegates from those two Cali- fornia schools want Army for the opponent, and there is every indication that Army would accept a bid.

The proposal for a Big Nine Pacific Coast conference tieup has been suggested for many years by the far western circuit but always shunned by the more conservative Big Nine, which has in recent years opposed post season games. UCLA and Southern Cal polished up their offensives, meanwhile, for next Saturday's game which probably will decide the western Rose bowl choice. Statisticians, figuring performances of the two teams against common foes, suggested IJCLA has the better offense, USC the stouter defense.
