SMU NO. t
THIS WEEK
SAYS POLL
California in Fifth-Wash
ingfon to 21st - Stan
ford to 25th Spot
NEW YORK, Oct. 24—i#)—Texans
who take a fierce pride in their
football, had hopes today of their
first national champion in 11 years.
Southern Methodist University
replaced Army as the No. 1 team in
the Associated Press weekly poll
the most important change in e
vigorous reshuffling of the rankings
The newest top ten: SMU, Army,
Oklahoma, Kentucky, California,
Ohio State, Texas. Tennessee. North
western, Cornell.
The Southwest hasn’t had a col
lege titlist since big John Kim
brough led Texas A. and M. to the
front in 1939.
Washington, lOt.h last week, fell
to 21st on the basis of its 20-13 loss
to Illinois, which climbed to 12th
Stanford, which also lost Saturday
dropped from 6th to 25th. UCLA
Stanford’s conqueror, climbed intc
18th place.
Second I en Misled
Making up the second 10 the
week were Miami, Fla., Illinois.
Texas A. and M.. Michigan, Michi
gan State, Clemson, Wake Forest
UCLA, Indiana and Florida.
Texans are as enthusiastic abou'
this great SMU machine that has
rolled up 184 points in smashing five
major foes—Georgia Tech, Ohic
State, Missouri, Oklahoma A. and
M., and Rice. ' f
Coach H. N. (Rusty) Russell saic.
in Dallas he felt it a "high honor"
that SMU was selected as the besi
team in the country at the moment,
but he added:
“I hope they’re not just fattening
us for the kill.”
Of the main contenders for na
tional honors, the Mustangs appar
ently have the roughest road ahead
They are idle this week but then
run into five conference opponents
in order.
3, Softer sailing is promised for
* Army, which dropped to second
after two weeks on top, and Okla
homa, which also fell a notch to
third.
The West Pointers, with one oi
their great teams, have it easy with
Columbia this week.
The Oklahoma Sooners, with ?
25-game winning streak going, hav:
Kansas and Nebraska as the main
humps in their remaining schedule.
SMU gained 96 first place votes
among the 246 sports writers and
broadcasters participating.
Just as an example of how the
mighty have fallen, Notre Dame,
the once unconquerable national
champion, dropped into a tie for
39th with only three points. The
fighting Irish, w'ho lost to Indiana
Saturday for their second setback,
got one eighth place vote.

PCL SOLONS ARE
TO BE SOLD TO
PARTNERS TODAY
SACRAMENTO. Calif.. Oct. .24—
tft—There’s a good chance the con
trolling interest in the Pacific Coast
League Sacramento Solons will be
sold today for a reported $220,000
cash.
Eddie Mulligan of San Francisco,
former coast league player and
coach, is due to close the deal for
himself and his partner. Jack Mc
Carthy, San Rafael. Calif., bu-i
ness man.
A block of 55 percent of the club’s
stock was put in escrow by the pre
sent owners. Mulligan obtained a 30
day option to buy.
Mulligan said the deal was "all
but signed, sealed and delivered.
Price of each share is a reported
$170.
If the sale is effected, 1950 Solon
General Manager Jo Jo White may
be out of a job. But newly-selected
Field Manager Joe (Flash) Gordon
is expected to take over regardless.
WASHINGTON TO
TAKE STANFORD
iS LATEST DOPE
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 24—iTP)—If
the word from the UCLA coaching
;taff means anything, and it some
times does, the Rose Bowl situation
on the west coast is essentially a
matter between Washington and
California.
At the weekly football writers’
meeting yesterday, Bill Barnes, the
assistant coach at UCLA, admitted.
None of us really thought Stanford
was worthy of all its praise. But I
guess they might be mad and
should be ready to bump off some
body. Who do they play this week?”
"Washington,” he was told.
“Then maybe they won’t bump
off somebody,” Barnes reconsidered.
Bill Fisk, the assistant mentor at
USC, was in hearty agreement with
Barnes. “I predict,” said Fisk flatly,
“that Washington will whip Stan
ford handily.”
Both Fish and Barnes spoke in
behalf of their bosses who, for
various reasons, were unable to at
tend. UCLA’s headman, Red San
ders, got such a back slapping after
Saturday’s 21-7 Bruin triumph that
he probably figured he could use
some rest. USC’s Jeff Cravath le
portedly was attending a funeral.
Barnes said lie favors California
; over Washington largely because of
Cal's more proficient defense. "Both
teams have great offenses,’ Barne
I observed, “but Washington hasn't
been too hard to run through thi:
year.”
2-9 FIRE CALL
The Juneau Volunteer Fire De
! partment answered a 2-9 call yes
terdhy afternoon at 4:55 to the
home of J. J. Lawn, between Sal
mon Creek and the Alibi Club. An
overheated flue caused some damage
to the roof and wall.
