The result, when these two crack service teams bang heads, should be some of the top football action of the season in Key. West.

That would stop all ar- guments,” was the oft-heard com- ment at Broad and High streets —the mecca which attracts the faithful for discussion of football doings. Athletic director Dick Larkins was on the Coast making Rose Bowl arrangements, and Hayes was in upstate Fremont for a high school banquet when the cham- Pionship flash came. Larkins, always unruffled and soft-spoken, observed: “I am delighted that we are the No. 1 team.” Hayes, who has had three soso seasons with the Bucks before this year, declared: “That’s sure swell. Frankly, I think we deserve it because of the schedule we played and the way we stayed ‘up’ for nine games.

UCLA picked up 133 first-place votes, and third-place Oklahoma, which won 10 straight while the ‘eaders were winning 9, was the choice of 35. On the 10-9-8-etc. voting basis, Oklahoma finished 479 points back of UCLA with 3,155. : For winning the championship, Ohio State will receive a leg on the Rev. J.

Nor- kus, who has recently’ taken of a new lease in his fistic life, losing but one bout in 10 starts, chal- lenges La Starza’s right to his high rating.

The undefeated champion dis- rupted La Starza’s dreams of a title by kayoing the ex-collegian in the eleventh round. In 58 fights, La Starza lost five and scored 24 knockouts in his 53 victories. He holds decision wins over Dan Burreroni, Rex Layne and Cesar Brion, among others.

Or else, he'll get out and let somebody else try. outs he took a renewed interest in his fighting career.
