‘UESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1949 OTRE DAM MAULERS AT | TOP IN POLL BY JOE REICHLER NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—(®—Notre [Dame’s performance against a high- ly rated Tulane team last Saturday Japparently has convinced most of jthe nation’s football experts that: the Irish belong in a class by them- jselves. In contrast to ldst week when it [barely won the No. 1 spot from rmy, the country's sports editors land sportscasters voted Notre Dame 2 solid first choice today in the third weekly Associated Press poll. A week ago the Irish nosed out | the Cadets ty 30 points. Today, Notre Dame received nearly 200 points more than the West Point- ers. Of the 179 voting experts, 146 | amed the South Bend eleven first on their ballots. H It's been years since a team ha dominated an AP poll so completely. ! n all, the undefeated Irish attract- | led 1,745 points by their devastating | 46-7 rout of the Green Wave of| New Orleans. Army, which received 58 first! place votes a week ago, got only 10 this time despite its nandy 54- 14 romp over Harvard. Those bal- lots, however, together with numer- ous seconds, thirds and fourths, gave the Cadets 1552 points t rank right behind Notre Dame and well in front of third place Min- nesota. 1 Bernie Bierman’s Gophers en- kanced their Rose Bowl chances by handing tough Ohio State a 27- trimming. This one-sided triumph brought them eight first place vot-i es and a total of 1370 points, to Loost them one nctch from fourth to third. Although it rolled over Kansas,!| 48-26, Oklahoma's power-laden team ( fell a notch from third to fourth| with 1,171 points. California ad- vanced from ninth to fifth due to its 16-10 victory over Southern Cal- i ifcrnia. The Golden Bears' point | total was 875, nineteen more than North Carolina which stayed i sixth place. Kentucky, eighth a week fgo, moved up to seventh with 798 points. Three newcombers graced the top ten list this week replacing such old stalwarts as Michigan, Tulane and Southern Methodist. Cornell, by virtue of its 48-14 thumping of previously undefeated Yale, vaulted over six teams into eigth place with | 345 points. Rice, helped by a 41-27 pasting of SMU, made the tiggest gain, a Jjump of 16 places. Whereas the Owls were 25th last week, they took over ninth spot by a narrow margin over Texas. The Longhorns also made a big gain, advancing from 16th to tenth. Rice amassed 166 points to 136 for Texas. The biggest blows were dealt to Michigan and Tulane. The Wolver- ines, who lost their second straight when they bowed to Northwestern, 21-20, dropped from seventh to 12th. ‘The awsome pounding by Notre Dame not only knocked Tulane out of the unbeaten class but dropped } the Southerners from fourth place clear down to 20th on only 35 points. i SEMU fell from 10th to 17th. Southern California ranked 19th while UCLA and Oregon tied for 26th. SOX RELEASE TWO PLAYERS T0 SOUTH CHICAGO, Oct. 18.—»—Pat See- rey, much-traveled outfielder who played with five different teams last season, and pitcher Jim Goodwin today were released outright by the Chicago White Sox to the Memphis Chicks of the Southern Association. Goodwin, a left-hander, was on option to Memphis last season, fash- ioning a 7-5 record. Seerey, rotund swinger acquired by the Sox from the Cleveland In- dians last year, played with the Sox, Los Angeles, Kansas City, Newark and San Antonio last season. PADRES-RAINIERS IN BASEBALL DEAL SEATTLE, Oct. 18—/P—A San Diego-Seattle basekall trade involv- ing the Padres’ veteran catcher, Dee Moore, and Tony York, Seat- tle’s utility infielder, was rumored today. Earl Sheely, General Manager of the Rainiers, said he had talked with President William Starr of the Ppadres by telephone, but would not disclose the individuals involved. The Moore-York trade was deem- ed by baseball circles to be the best pet in view of Seattle’s need for a top catcher and the Padres’ desires for a good utility man.
