Army surged into third place with 14 first place ballots and 1553 points. California moved up a peg to fourth, with 11 of the 205 voters ranking them the best in the coun- ry and a total of 1,244 points. Penn State showed the most startling advance, jumping from 14th | to fifth on its fine 13-0 victory over previously unbeaten Pennsylvania. The Nittany Lions drew only one first place pick but had 840 points. Despite North Carolina’s unex- pected 7-7 tie with William and Mary, the Tar Heels pulled seven firsts and ranked sixth with 757 points. They dropped only three pegs on the tie. Southern Methodist, a 20-14 win- ner over the Texas Aggies, moved up cne step to seventh with 625, points and Northwestern hopped intp eighth position on a 16-7 mar- gin over Wisconsin with a point total of 575. Cklakoma came sut of nowhere, hopping frem 15th to ninth with 466 points by smothering high- ranked Missouri, 41-7. Clemson moved into tenth place with 284. | Penn State, Oklahoma and Clem- son are the mew faces in the top 10. They shoved out Georgia Tech, which fell frem sixth to 11th, Penn- sylvania which dropped from 7th to 17th, and Missouri, which tumbled from ninth to 20th. In addition to Michigan, Notre Dame, Army, California, Penn State and North Carclina, others re- ceiving first place votes were Ok- lahoma 5, Clemson 8 and Michigan State and Georgia, each one. Oregon was 15th with 126 poims.‘ e Joe Louis | Slams 'Em BOSTON, Nov. 9—® — A com- parative handful of Boston boxing fans—5,515 to be exact—today were gloating over the fact that> heavy- weight champion Joe Louis gave them more action for a $3.75 top than he often has done for $50. The 34-year-old Brown Bomber, now barnstorming himself in con-, dition to again defend his title against “the most logical opponent' available if the public wants me to,” put on a sparkling four-round no decision exhibition bout against towering Johnny Shkor of Balti- more, last night at the arena, ' Louis, who has given five other such performances elsewhere re-, cently, thrilled the spectators with | a vicious demonstration of his old-| time slambang two-fisted punching. | The champion and Shkor swung | into action wearing mouthpieces, pillowing 14-ounce gloves tut with- | That can be taken literally. The 1948 Irish are doing on the grounc what they used to go in the air. In beating seven opponents they have gained 2,319 yards running and only | 529 paseing, a total attack which) stretches out 1.6 miles. Trose teams of the past two years, | sparked by Johnny Lujack who is| now with the Chicago Bears, touch- ed off a string of 25 games in which Notre Dame has remained undefeated. Cnce-Leaten Northwestern (28-0 by Michigan) presents the most serious threat to that record Sat- urday in the nation's football head- liner at South Bend. The lively ri alty between these two schools will come to a‘temporary end with the game, which has been sold out for three months. Notre Dame, having | pulled plenty of punches this cam- paign while averaging 35.4 points per contest and holding foes to 10.3, | will be ready to shoot the \\'orks! again: the Rose Bowl-minded} Wildeats. 4 - e — WAKE FOREST | IS TO PLAY IN| i BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 10.—(® | —Wake Forest will play in Bir- mingham’s second annual Dixie Eow Holt Rast, general manager of the ! Dixie Bowl, announced today the | signing of the North Carolina team | to appear at Legion Field New! Year's Day. | The 27-20 victory of Wake For-| est over Duke last Saturday caught the fancy of the bowl game selec- tion committee. It is probable the committee will turn westward for the other | bowl entry. Among teams being considered are Baylor, Oklahoma, and Missouri. Ihorpé Would Like | To Play Gpen Type Foolba'l,_l!ke Today LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9.—(®—Jim Thorpe, the All-American of 'Em All, would, love to play the open type of fpotball prevalent today. The great Indian star from Car- lisle, told the Southern California foothall writers yesterday that if day “I don't believe I'd Le stopped for quite awhile.” Thorpe is here to generate inter- est in the filming of his life story. Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn Dodg- er baseball star and former USLA Lackfield ace, told the sports writ- ers he got more fun out of fcot- out headguards. Only the huge size |ball than any other sport. of the gloves enabled Shkor to go through the syingmg. 12 minutes of fist! Hes was to leave for New York today to start work as a sports an- nouncer. KAYOED IN 1STROUND PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.—®— The status of Buddy Garcia as a lightweight title contender was a moot question today after the Texan’s one-round kayo by cham- pion Ike Williams. The discussion arose as the prin- cipals and fans at last night's non-title bout at the Arena divided into two camps. One group insisted Garcia, Gal- veston, Tex. hopeful, was knocked out by a stomach blow after the bell ending round one. The other was equally insistent the payoff punch and the bell ar- rived together, From all indications the argu- ment will have to be settled at a iuture meeting of the two right- ers—provided such a meeting is decided on by the battler’s hand- lers. Garcia lived up to his pre-fight declaration that the would trade the champion blow for blow and waded in, apparently undaunted by the Trenton, N. J.,, champion’s | famed bolo blows to the body. DIXIEBOWL . As the bell ended the round, Williams landed a withering right bolo to Garcia's mid-section and the Texan dropped to the canvas, writhing in agony. He was carried to his corner and the fight was awarded to Williams by Referee Dave Beloff when Garcia’s man- aged, Eddie Walker, indicated his boy would not be able to come out for the second round. —_————.
