6 THE RISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1934 - Cardinals Ranked Above Gophers in A. P.’s ‘Greatest’ Team Poll House of David, Fresh from Win Over ||Jones Gives Oral Minot Elks, Arrive for Phanton Tilt Lead ‘Beards’ Against Phantoms WORLD'S CHAMPIONS RECEIVE 60 FIRSTS TO MINNESOTA'S 34 St. Louis Nine Is Third Succes- sive Ball Club to Win in Balloting BEARS ARE PLACED THIRD Mickey Cochrane's Tigers Rank Fourth; Alabama Out- points Stanford New York, Dec, 18—(4)—It seems | to be highly debatable in this year's sporting roundup whether it was any harder to beat the celebrated Dean brothers on the baseball field than it was to tackle Pug Lund or Stan Kos- tka, the galloping Gophers, on the gridiron. Whatever the feelings on this hy- pothetical issue, the fact Tuesday is that the world champion St. Louis Cardinals, featuring the Dean boys, emerge the winners over Minnesota's undefeated football champions in the Associated Press poll to determine the outstanding team of 1934. The Cardinals are the third suc- cessive major league ball club to be acclaimed the best team of the year, in any sport, by vote of the nation’s sports editors and writers, who rate the finishing drive of the National League champions as the greatest in the history of the game. As one observer expressed it: “You can't crack guys without nerves, like the Deans and Pepper Martin. They never think about losing. What put- ters those birds would be on the last green with the title at stake.” Winners Previous baseball winners were the world champion New York Yankees of 1932 and the Giants of 1933, The ast college football team to be vot- ed the No. 1 sports aggregation was Southern California’s 1931 eleven. Compilation of ballots in the big- west countrywide response yet re- corded in the annual A. P. Poll dis- closed a two-team race for votes from start to finish. ¥ Asked to name the three leading teams, in order of preference, 60 out of total of 100 experts cast their No. 1 vote for the Cardinals while 34 put ae Gophers at the top of list. ‘The final standing on points was St. Louis 241, Minnesota 215, because the Gophers ran stronger in second and third place nominations. Minne- Points were figured on the basis of three for first place, two for second and one for third. Only four other teams figured in the first-place balloting. The Chicago Bears received seven votes and fin- ished third in the poll, with 57 Points, despite their defeat in the Playoff game with the New York Giants for the national professional football league championship. The Detroit Tigers, American League baseball champions, received five first-place ballots and wound up fourth with 42 points, Two observ- ers. voted the triumphant United States Walker cup golfers as the most outstanding team while the remain- ing ballot put Yale's football “iron men,” the conqnerors of Princeton, at the top. Since they will play in the Rose ‘Bowl football classic on New Year's day, it is noteworthy that Alabama “outpointed” Stanford, 14 to 4, in the voting. N. D.
