infield. He blanked the A's until

Five Big Ten football teams re-
ceived votes in the Associated
Press's annual pre-season poll.
Michigan State ranked third,
with Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio
State, and Purdue also represent-
ing the Big Ten, though not pla-
cing in the first ten.
The Spartans collected 183
points to secure their third-place'
ranking behind Notre Dame (296),
their nemesis of last season, and
Alabama (282), moving up from
last year's finish of third.
The Fighting Irish and the Spar-
tans had quite a duel going for
the poll lead most of last year, be-
fore Notre Dame pulled ahead fol-
lowing the dramatic late-season
meeting that ended in a 10-10
deadlock.
This year, Michigan State re-
tains the nucleus for a strong
squad despite the loss of Bubba
Smith, Clint Jones, Gene Wash-
ington, and Jerry West, among
others. Jimmy Raye at quarter-
back, Bob Apisa at fullback, and
Al Brenner at end are among the
holdover standouts.
'Duffy's Boys' from East Lansing
find themselves closely trailed in
the standings by Texas, unranked
in last year's final pool. Only
seven points separate the two
teams, with Texas collecting two
first place votes to Michigan
State's one.
The remainder of the Top Ten
is made up of Miami of Florida,
Georgia, Southern California, U.'
C.L.A., Tennessee, and Colorado.
The national panel of 32 sports
writers and broadcasters who
participated in the voting, ballot
on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis.
In the ranking that follows, first-
place votes are in parenthese:
1. Notre Dame (17).......296
2. Alabama (11)..........282
3. Michigan State (1) ...... 183
4. Texas (2) .............. 176
5. Miami ......... ....... 134
6. Georgia ................128
7. Southern California (1) . 114
8. U.C.L.A . ............... 113

George Culver wild-pitched one

gle.

ting pinch batter Smoky Burgess
to line to short.
Hinton opened the Cleveland
eighth with a triple and one out

Senators Nip Twins"
WASHINGTON-Pitcher Frank
Bertaina's two-run single and
home runs by Fred Valentine and
Frank Howard carried the Wash-
ington Senators to a 5-4 victory
over the Minnesota Twins last
night and dropped the Twins into
a tie for the American League
lead with the Boston Red Sox.
The Twins rallied for two runs
in the seventh and might have
tied it in the inning except for
some over-eager base running by
