Michigan, darkhorse of the col-
lege football scene, gained on
front runner Southern California
in the latest Association Press poll.
Michigan moved up from ninth
to seventh via the 35-0 rout of
Northwestern over the weekend.
The top six, including Big Ten
teams Ohio State and Purdue, re-
mained unchanged as Michigan

Donor 16 times.
Michigan alumnus Bill Freehan,
MtLain's battery mate, was run-
ner-up in the voting, the only
other player who was named on
all 20 ballots cast by two writers
in each league city.
In all, 27 players received votes1
from first through 'tenth, with 14
points awarded for first, nine for
second and so forth, down to one
for tenth.
McLain faltered in the World
Series, losing his first two starts
before beating St. Louis in the
siith game. However, MVP voting
was conducted before the series.
Tiger players have been named
MVP seven times, which is more
than any other team except the

Now that he has achieved the
ultimate reward, being named
Most Valuable Player in the
American League, McLain is a
changed person - the ultimate in
humility.
"I could have never done it
without the 24 guys I participated
with this year," he said.
"To be serious, I thought Dick
McAuliffe would get it because I
contend he is the most valuable
player," McLain said of the spark-
plug Tiger second baseman, "along
with Bill Freehan, Jim Northrup,
Mickey Stanley, Willie Horton, Al
Kaline . . . "he rambled on nam-
ing nearly all the Tiger stars.

California to the seventh spot.
Southern California and Ohio
State had close calls Saturday but
the Trojans suffered most in the
weekly college football poll.
They didn't lose their No. 1 na-
tional ranking but their number
of first-place votes dropped from
24 to 19 and their lead over the
second-ranked Buckeyes shrank
from 64 points to a mere 13.
Southern California needed a
touchdown to squeeze past stub-
born Oregon 20-13. The Trojans
piled up 816 points in the balloting
by 45 sports writers and broad-
casters.
Ohio State tallied 14 first place
votes and 803 points after holding
off Michigan State, No. 17 in this
I week's poll, 25-20. Purdue polled
415 to stay in sixth.
Kansas retained third place
with 10 first-place votes and 758
points. The other first-place bal-
lots went to fourth-ranked Penn
State with 588 points and No. 5
Tennessee with 541.
In Saturday's games, Kansas
beat Colorado 27-14, Penn State
edged Army 28-24. Tennessee wal-
loped UCLA 42-18 and Purdue
thrashed Illinois 35-17.

The Making of
a Champion, 1968
The last third of the 1968 season was a remarkable parallel to the
mythical horse race where a 100-to-one longshot finishes first by
systematically passing one-by-one every horse in front of him.'
After six weeks, Michigan's stunning Wolverines were a lowly
ninth in the running. But in the seventh week, a 35-0 slashing of
Northwestern moved the Maize and Blue past Georgia and California
(both had suffered ties over the weekend) into the seventh spot
nationally.
Still to be overtaken were Southern Cal, Ohio State, Kansas, Penn
State, Tennessee, and Purdue.
In week number eight, the Wolverines passed Purdue which ran
intoa revenge-minded Minnesota crew at Minneapolis. The Boiler-
makers were caught looking ahead to successive tests with Michigan
State and Indiana, and ended up giving sixth ground to the Wolver-
Ines.
Fifth ranked Tennessee lost to Auburn in anticipation of its tra-
ditional rivalries with Mississippi and, Kentucky scheduled for the
following two weeks. The Michigan horse was now fifth.
Everyone held his place pretty well until the tenth week when
Michigan met Ohio State for the season finale at Columbus. At this
time, the rankings were
1. Southern Cal
2. Ohio State
3. Penn State
4. Kansas
5. Michigan
The Wolverines ran away from the Buckeyes and tuned in' the
Kansas-Missouri game anxiously on the locker room radio. Sure
enough, the Jayhawk's luck had run out and Michigan was third in
the country.
Two links remained to be joined in the Maize and Blue success
chain. Notre Dame knocked off USC one week later, thereby reveng-
ing last year's 24-7 loss to the Trojans.
And finally, completing the drama, Penn State bowed to Syracuse
in the Eastern power struggle waged at University Park, Pa., on
( December 7.
With this, the comeback was finished. Michigan was number one.
It's over now, and whether you voted with your hands or your
feet or your mind or your vomit we have a new president. Or an old
president, depending on how you look at it.
But though the world could crumble around us, though wars
flare in the East, though violence erupts in the West, though cute
young radicals parade around the Diag, Gridde Pickings goeson.
If you enter by Friday at midnight, you might win a Cottage
Inn Pizza. And that's another of the little neutral realities of life.
fornia fell from eighth to 11th
following a 7-7 deadlock with
Washington.
Missouri climbed from tenth to
eighth after belting Oklahoma
State 42-7. Texas took over the
tenth spot following a 38-7 drub-
bing of Southern Methodist.
California barely led the S5ec-
ond Ten by nine points over Notre
Dame, which clobbered Navy 45-
14.
After Honston in 13th place
came Arkansas, 25-22 winner over
Texas A&M; Oregon State. which
whipped Standford-29-7; unbeaten
Ohio University, 34-27 winner over
Western Michigan; Michigan?
State; Auburn, which upset Flor-
ida 24-13; Wyoming, which romp-
ed past Colorado State U. 46-14,
and Louisiana State.
The Tigers managed to stay in
the Top Twenty despite a 27-24
loss to Mississippi.
Southern Cal is host in Los
Angeles Saturday to one of their
toughest rivals the University of
California.
The Trojans may have to win
-and win big-to stand off the
pressure of similarly unbeaten
Ohio State, which has a relatively
mild weekend assignment against
Wisconsin, loser in all of its seven
games.
Another top team, third-ranked
Kansas, also-puts its perfect rec-
ord and high national standing
against a dangerous league rival,
Oklahoma, which has lost only
to Notre Dame and Texas.
USC is a seven-point favorite
over the Golden Bears while Kan-
sas is rated a similar edge over
Oklahoma, both games being'
played on the field of the favor-
ites.
