UCLA HOLDS FIRST PLACE
IN FOOTBALL POLL
by The Associated Press
• UCLA, the pre-season pick
of the experts, held its place
as the nation’s No. 1 collegiate
football team today in the first
regular season Associated Press
poll of the country’s sports
writers.
The Uclans, who opened
their campaign with a clear
cut . 1-0 victory over Texas A
&M, were named at the top of
the ballot by 34 of the 58 writ
ers participating in the poll.
UCLA piled up 512 .points,
ahead of second place Georgia
Tech, which skyrocketed from
10-th place in the pre-season
voting.
The Yellow Jackets, who de
feated strongly rated Miami
14-6 in their debut, got only
three first place ballots, but
were strongly supported for se
cond and third in the rankings.
Tech’s meteoric climb shov
ed Oklahoma and Michigan
down a notch to 3rd and 4th
respectively, 'while Maryland
retained its fifth spot despite
a close ©aid in its 23-12 victory
over Missouri. ,

made up of Ohio State, last!

Mississippi, and Southern Oal-;
ifornia and Navy in a tie for |

YANKS EXPECT TO CINCH I
FLAG BY FRIDAY
by The Associated Press
Unless hurricane lone sends
them sprawling, the New York
Yankees figure they’ll have the
American league pennant in
hand by Friday at Boston.
Yet, it’s possible the cham
pionship may not be decided
until after Sunday’s relgular
season wind up — Which would
provide an appropriately scre
wy finish for the screwiest race
since Casey Stengel was a pup
All sorts of things can hap
pen between now and Sunday,
but basically, here’s the situa
tion.
1. Any combination of New
' York victories and Cleveland
defeats totaling five gives the
Yankees and manager Stengel
their sixth pennant in seven
years.
2. The Indians, with the
world on a string just a week
ago. must sweep their five re
maining games and hope the
Yankees lose three of their re
maining seven to gain at most
a tie for the title.

Sports Trail —
by Whuney Martin
NEW YORK (7P) As an appre
hensive picker of sports events,
in that we always can visualize
the possibility of any one of a
variety of outcomes, we never
theless will string alonig with
heavyweight champion Rocky
Marciano in his bout with
Archie Moore at Yankee Stad
ium Tuesday night.
We like Marciano to win by
a knockout, in, say, 10 rounds
or less, chiefly because as his
manager, A1 Weill, says, they’d
have to put Rocky uip against
a wall and pepper him with a
machine gun to take his title
I away from him.
!
Strength, driving power, de
termination, and ability to take
a punch and hit with tremen
dous force are in the Champions
favor. Those factors, and com
parative youth. Superior box
ing skill, ring wisdom, adapta
bility and sharp, pin-point pun
ching are in the challenger’s
' favor.
; But there is doubt that Moore
is a better boxer than Ezzard
I Charles, and Marciano outpoint
| ed him in 15 rounds and knock
| ed him out in the second fight.
Charles defeated Moore three
times.
And there is doubt that he
can hit harder than Jersey Joe
Walcott, who landed his best
punches for 12 rounds, only to
be knocked out by The Rock
