Notre Dame Vaults Into First Mastic And Lemon Seen ‘As Spot In AP Gridiron Ratings Oklahoma 2nd After Victory Over TCU Sat. By ED WILKS _ NEW YORK @#—Notre Dame, the pre-season choice, took over the No. 1 spot today as the nation’s sports writers and sportscasters made a quick overhaul of the rankings in The Associated Press’ weekly college football poll. The Irish, second a week ago in the first poll of the season, vaulted into the top position with solid support after their impressive 21-0 victory under new coach Terry Brennan in their season opener against Texas last weekend. Notre Dame claimed almost two-thirds of the first place votes on the 154 ballots. ; Oklahoma’s Sooners, given first place honors last week settled in the No. 2 position. The Sooners, pressed by TCU for their second victory, had a clear edge over the rest of the field. The Irish collected 94 first place votes and a total of 1,438 points (based on 10 points for first, 9 for second, etc) ‘while Oklahoma col- lared just 24 first and 1,224 points. The experts merely reverted to their pre-season selections in nam- ing the two top teams, but they jilted most of their other first week choices with puppy-love abandon. Five of last week’s top 10 stumbled and two—Georgia Tech and Illi- nois, fifth and sixth a week ago— dropped clear out of the top 20. Iowa, with its 14-10 surprise against Michigan State, jumped into the No. 3 spot from the No. 12 berth, displacing Maryland, the 1953 mythical national champion. The Terps, idle last weekend, dropped to sixth, while UCLA ad- vanced from eighth to fourth and Wisconsin moved in at No. 5 from a tenth-place tie with Baylor last week. The rest of the top 10 lines up like this: Duke, Mississippi, South- ern California and Penn State. — Missing, in addition to Georgia Tech and Ilnois, both dealt telling blows last weekend, are Texas, No. 4 until bumping into Notre Dame; Michigan State and Baylor. ‘The Longhorns wound wf 12th, be- hind Baylor, with Michigan State another length back at No. 13 after being ranked No. 7. Duke, Southern Cal and Penn State are newcomers to the top 10 along with Iowa while Mississippi moved up one notch from ninth. Penn State, the outfit, that upset Illinois 14-12, wasn’t even listed a week ago, while Duke, and South- ern Cal moved up from 18 and 15 respectively.

Hurlers In Series Opener By JOE REICHLER NEW YORK ® — Barring a surprise selection, the 1954 world series will open at the Polo Grounds tomorrow with Sal Maglie (14-6) on the mound for the New York Giants opposing the Cleve- land Indians’ Bob Lemon (23-7). Both managers, Leo Durocher of the Giants and Al Lopez of the Indians, promised to make their selections known today. Despite Durocher’s known will- ingness to gamble, it was felt that Leo realizes he must go with his} veteran ace, who was his front man in all of the Giants’ clutch series down the stretch. Maglie will be fully rested, having pitch- ed only two warmup innings last Saturday. Lemon also will be fresh. He has not pitched since Friday when he went the distance against the De- troit Tigers. Early Wynn, who had been coupled with Lemon by Lopez} as a possible first starter, pitched | a “pressure” game against De- troit Saturday, working on a no- hitter until the ninth inning. The Indians, already a prohibi- tive 17 to 10 favorite, were made| an even more solid 9 to 5 choice | today. The odds-makers undoubted- ly count on Cleveland’s deeper pitching staff to bring ultimate vic- tory. The Indians are 6 to 5 fa- vorites to capture the opener, re-| gardless of the pitchers The weather man promises nice weather. He says it'll be slightly cloudy with the temperatures be-| tween 65 and 70 degrees when the umpires yell ‘play ball” at 1 p.m., EST. Reserve tickets for the opener and all other games here and in Cleveland long have been sold. A crowd of close to 55,000 is expect- ed for the opener. The second game also will be played at the} Polo Grounds Thursday before the scene shifts to Cleveland. Despite the announced odds, the writer believes the Indians will have their hands full in a series going the full seven games. It fig- ures to be a keenly fought series, dominated by standout pitching on both sides, with a clutch hit in the late innings deciding each game. The Giants can’t match the In- dians’ superlative mound staff headed by Lemon, Wynn (23-11), | Mike Garcia (19-8), Bob Feller (13-3), Art Houtteman (15-7) and Don Mossi (6-1). | But they have three outstanding hurlers in Maglie, lefthander John- ny Antonelli (21-7) and Ruben Go-; yey Williams, Al Dark and Hank mez (17-9) and they Own two of} Thompson has a definite defensive the best relief pitchers in the bus-!edge over the Indians’ inner line iness in knuckleballer Hoyt Wil-|of Vic Wertz, Bobby Avila, George helm (12-4) and screwballer Mary |Strickland and Al Rosen |Grissom (10-7).
