Miami Is A ORIGINAL Out Of AP Poll Top | UCLA Keeps Ta Snot, a “yu ie b qa, w aN 3 econd By HUGH FULLERTON JR The Assccitied Press oriable margia in a , UCLA retained 1's leading team in this week’s Associated Press poll of sports writers and broadcasters. An even 30) votes were tabulated to confirm the high scoring Uclans’ claim to the top place over the challenges of Ohio State and Okla homa, leaders in earlier polls this beason. UCLA was first on 117 of the 00 ballots. Ohio State got 80 first place votes. Points were tabulaied on the usual basis of 10 for each first- place vote, 9 for second, 8 for third, etc. The first five teams held the same places they dropped into dur ing the general reshuffling of the past two weeks, but several im portant changes were registered elsewhere in the first 10. After UCLA, with 2,660 points, and Ohio State, with 2,594, came Oklahoma Arkansas Notre Dame Army, Mississippi, Southern Cati- fornia, lowa and Navy in order. Miami of Florida, suffering its first defeat at Auburn's’ hands after six straight victories, fell from sixth place to 11th. Purdue also disappeared from the top 10 after taking a 25-14 licking from Towa. That made room for Iowa, 12th last week, and Navy in the select group at the top, Army’s 487 shellacking of pre- viously unbeaten Yale couldn’t do more than lift the Cadets from seventh into Miami’s vacated sixth pace. Mississippi and Southern California advanced two notehes each to seventh and eighth. The leading teams with first- place votes in parentheses: . UCLA (117) .. ver 660 .

Elated by the 6-2 vote of ap- proval given him by the American | League, Johnson yesterday said he| had an open mind on manageri-| al situation. He said he had talked | to no one about the jobs but had/ many applications. It was learned that Lou Boudreau deposed manager of the Boston Red Sox, has the inside track to the field managing job, and Parke Carroll, who was business manag- er of the New York Yankees Kan- sas City farm club in the American | Assn., is a top candidate for gen- | jeral manager.

The first two Mississippi State teams held light scrimmages while the other players worked against freshmen using Louisiana State plays. The Tulane regulars went through light signal drills and then studied on Vanderbilt. At Vanderbilt Coach Art Guepe gave the offense a com- plete checkup and worked with the backfield.

Cyclone Fulmer Lauded As He Wins 25th Straight Victory By MURRAY ROSE NEW YORK — Undefeated Gene (Cyclone). Fullmer, a. good, tough and aggressive middleweight has an invitation to come back to | New York any time as a result of his rousing Eastern and television debut against Jackie La Bua. The stronglegged, 23-year-old middlweight from West Jordan, Utah, made his perfect record 25.0 last night by drubbing the New York prospect at Eastern Park- way Arena for a lopsided 10-round decision. As a result, matchmaker Teddy Brenner signed the Rocky Mountai copper miner for a Dec. 20 tilt with | Rocky Castellani, 160-pound contender. “If Castellani doesn’t want to take on the kid—but I think he will — we'll get or some other top middleweight,’ fourth-ranking said Brenner. ‘This kid is the best | Westerner to come here since we brought Bobo Olson in from the Coast for his Eastern debut.” “Castellani, Olson, or anyone,” said the calm victor. ‘It's all the same to me. All I want to know is did the fans like it? That’s what I wanted most. It was my first time on television.” He was assured that he did fine His face lit up. “IT could have done better,” he said. “I wasn’t as sharp as I've been before. But I’m glad the fans liked it.” The only thing the Korean War vet didn’t do was floor or knock | out the strong-jawed, 22 year old New Yorker. Jackie, however, is | a tough foe to down. He has been stopped only once Fullmer weighed 154%, La Bua 158%. In the other TV fight of the night at St. Nicholas Arena, Ken- Paddy Young | - HURRIC.
