Only top- rated Notre Dame meets opposi- ition voted among the first 20 in ithe weekly Associatea Press poll. But, because a football often bounces in unexpected directions (remember Purdue 6 Michigan State 0), some of the high and mighty of the gridiron ranks could well be toppled from their exalted positions. 3 And that goes ice for the Irish of Notre Daife, who meet Navy, rated 20th in the poll of, ‘the sports writers and sportscast- ers. Notre Dame, 27-14 conqueror: of Georgia Tech last Saturday, re-| ceived 1,122 points with 82 of the experts calling them the best team seven a year ago, according to ain the nation. Navy, victim of a 9-6 setback by Pennsylvania, re- ceived not one first-place vote and a total of only 41 points. Georgia Tech, its unbeaten Notre Dame, and Michigan State rémained in the top 10 but dropped several notches. And two other vic- tims of last week's uprisings, Mich- igan and Navy, tumbled clear out! of the select group. Their places were taken over by Southern Cali- fornia and UCLA. Notre!Dame, in first place ever ‘since the writers and broadcasters |champion in the preseason poll, completely dominated the poll. Un- beaten Maryland, which took over | second place from Michigan Sfate, received 18 first-place votes, and| |, West Virginia was considered No. 1 by 15. No other team had more than two. also undefeated, and once-tied Illinois followed Mai land in that order with West Vir- jginia jumping from eighth to fifth| r thumping VMI 52-20. ichigan State’s Spartans checked their decline at sixth place. Southern California took over. seventh on the strength of a 32-20 thumping of California. Georgia Tech dropped from fourth to eighth while Oklahoma held’ by navy. Michigan ended up 16th. To find this week’s opposition for the first 10, except for Notre Dame, one needs to go completely out of the ranking list. Maryland meets South Carolina. Baylor takes on Texas Christian. Illinois meets the upset minded Boilermakers of Purdue. West Virginia tackles Penn State, the only team con- sidered to'have a chance of stop- ping the Mountameers this year. Michigan State plays host to Ore- gon State. UCS’s opponent will be Oregon. Georgia Tech will attempt to get back on the victory trail with Van- derbilt as Oklahoma meets a strong Kansas State eleven and UCLA tests Cali-' fornia.

Every player from the old Browns is up for trade, but only if the deal will improve the Ori- joles too. And cash isn’t going to work as bait. Art Ehlers explained his philos- jophy yesterday sbertly after he made his own trade from general manager of the Philadelphia Ath- leties to the same job with his jhome-town Orioles. “If you're going to trade,” he jsaid, “trade anybody—no excep- itions—if you’re going to help your- .)Self in a couple of positions. Not man for man. And in Baltimore’s case, it won't be necessary to take cash. Also, if we want to buy somebody, we'll be able to do it.” Clarence W. Miles, head of the syndicate of moneymen who are paying $2,475,000 to buy the Browns, chimed in that anything Ehlers says about the baseball end is right. “He'll have complete authority lor as he doesn’t mortgage it,” said had a three-year contract with a iflat salary plus a bonus arrange- ment based on attendance. The 56-year-old Ehlers, who used ito play sandlot baseball in Balti- more and once owned Pocomoke, Md., in the Eastern Shore League, he had no player deals in ind. But he added: “I think the Orioles need good pitching bad. Tha‘ my job to; get them. I don’t know where. If we do get them, we'll make a pretty good run for the first di- vision.” The Baltimore financiers had announced prior to signing of their general manager that money, would be available for bolstering the Orioles. “The old St. Louis policy of sell: ing players to get cash to operate Walker, Warren (6) and Santana)on is a thing of the past,” they said. They said they were sup- plying an undisclosed amount of. money “for additional player ma- terial.” 1954 Mid-West Figure Shat- ‘ing championships will be held in the Michigan State ice arena next Feb. 11, 12, and 13. The Sonar School took the lead \in the fourth on a single by Moser, an error, and Roland’s ground {rule double. In the fifth, VX-1 come up with their winning rally in the ffith when Burt Farrell beat out an in- field hit to open the frame. Farrell was thrown out stealing, but Vic Boutot followed with a walk. After Hal Eskeridge followed with a game winning double driving in both runs, Gamble, in notching his fourth win of the season, struck: out four and walked two. Franklin, who was charged with his first loss, struck out six and walked two. Eskeridge-led the Flyers with a double and single in two tries.
