r ORPPMPATI PE ER 5, 11151 The 2N#Opiy :Realm It is a well-known - fact, though Texans are likely to dispute it, that Pennsylvania annually produces the top football talent in the country. Yet isn't it strange that only three Pennsylvania boys were named:to the first string on the AsSociated. Press' All-East team? On any top college team throughout the country one can find Pennsylvania boys in the starting lineups, and often times it's the Keystone Staters who are the sparkplugs and leaders of their teams. On All-American teams in the. past, present, and no doubt in ,, the future, Pennsylvania boys have and will hold their own. Names like tujack, Hart, Gal iffa, Bednarik, Trippi, and now Parini and Modzelewski are . familiar names in the sports • world. A large part of Michigan State's undefeated team is from Pennsyl iania, one entire side of the Miami, U. line is from enns ylvania, and in spite of all this only three, Ed Bell, Penn's end from Philadelphia, Dick Pivirotto, Pringeton back from -Pittsburgh, and Vic Bihl, Princeton center from Harrisburg, made the AP team. All three were named to the defensive platoon. Not a single Pennsylvanian made the of fensive team. Seven positions went to boys from Massachu setts. • It looks as if the best Pennsyl vania talent doesn't remain in the old home state, but wanders to every other part of the country. We do think that a few Penn sylvania boys were unjustly over looked by the ,AP selectors— namely a few Penn State boys, Tennessee Top Team NEW YORK, Dec. 4—(P)— Tennessee has a year's lease on the Father O'Donnell trophy, emblem of ,the nation's No. 1 college- football team as deter mined by the Associated Press poll. The trophy was given to the Tennessee team last night at the •annual football banquet in anti cipation that the Vols, unbeaten in 10 games this season, would be ranked first. Today the ballots of 307 sports writers and sportscasters were tabulated. Result:- Tennessee on top. The Tennessee trophy-room janitor immediately began/ hunt ing wall s p ace for the huge plaque. The Vols, in winning their first national grid title, got 139 first-. place votes an d enough other mentions to gather in 2706 points. Michigan State was second with 104 firsts and 2,609 points, fol lowed •by Maryland, the Tennes-1 • see , opponent on Jan. 1 in the New Orleans Sugar Bowl. Mary land was 'rated first on only 18 ballots but scored heavily enough for the No. 2 and - No. 3 spots to collect •,299 points. Points are awarded on a - basis of 10 for first, nine for second, etc., down to one .point for a :tenth place listing. . The coming Sugar Bowl game is the first to list- the nation's No. 1 and No. 3 teams as its foot ball attractions. The ROse Bowl at Pasaderia comes up with Illi nois, No. 4 in the final poll, and Stanford,- No. 7. The Miami Orange Bowl has fifth-place Georgia Tech and ninth place Baylor while the Dal las Cotton Bowl • counters with Texas Christian, No. 11, despite its southwest conference title, and Kentucky, No. 15. Other teams in the first ten are Princeton, sixth; Wisconsin, eighth; and Oklahoma, the 1950 leader, tenth. In the seventh week of the sea son, Michigan State enjoyed a one-week return to the top on the strength of its rousing 35 to 0 verdict over Notre Dame. Ten nessee came back the next week and strengthened its hold on the By 808 VOSBURG Assistant Sports Editor since not a single Penn , Stater was named to the first or second string on either the defensive or offensive platoon. Surely out of 44 football players from Eastern colleges ,at least one Penn Stater deserved a spot. We especially feel that Bob Pollard should have been picked, at least to the second team. The first string offensive unit leaves little to be desired, with Dis k- Kazrnaier tif Princeton, Harry Agannis o f Boston U., Chuck Maloy of Holy Cross, and Burt Talmage of Bucknell in the backfield. The defensive backfield also seems pretty well stocked with Bob Spears of Yale, Bill Whelan of Cornell, Dick Pivirotto of Princeton. and Frank Hauff of Navy. Yet who is to say Pol lard isn't as good as any of these? Any fellow. who can play practically 60-minute ball in every game, average better than seven y ids per rush on the ground, and run back.punts like Bob can certainly deserves somethings ' On-the second string temps we can see no one, with the possible exceptions .of Brad Myers, Buck nell, and Bob Honer, Villanova, who can rate with Pollard. The second team defensive backfield posts went to Albert, Bucknell; Kirk, Cornell; Stone, Syracuse; and Fuqua, Army. See anyone Bob couldn't hold his own with? Receives Honors crown in each of the final three weeks. The Father O'Donnell trophy, given Tennessee conditionally last night in belief the Vols would be voted No. 1, is a travelling award named in honor of Notre Dame's president from 1940 through 1946. It must be won three times by a college to be retired. Michigan, Notre Dame and Oklahoma each had won it once prior to the Tennessee annexation. Penn State's freshman football star, Jesse Arnelle, .of New Ro chelle, N.Y., now will turn his attention to basketball. • Mfg DAILY POTITAGTAV, ST TE CPWGr, PENNSYLVANIA 128 Pound Class In the lone independent match fought, Glenn Freshcorn ousted Charles Golightly from the 135- pound class.
