McLain, who led the Tigers to their first pennant in 23 years is the first American League pitch- er to win both awards. Don N e w- combe and Sandy Koufax, b o t h .Dodgers, won both awards in the -, National League in the one year, Newcombe .in 1956 and Koufax in 1963. The 24-year-old right-hander also is the first AL pitcher to win the MVP award by a unanimous vote, the first AL pitcher to win *tt at all since Philadelphia A's Bobby Shantz 'in, 1952 and the first Tiger to receive the award since Hal Newhouser, also aNewY pitcher, in 1944 and 1945.

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 nudged past both Georgia and TOP 20 Points awarded for first 15 picks on basis of 20-18-16-14-12-9-8-7-6 DENNY McLAIN York Yankees, who have won 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 Sports Beat ,.y 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. Sports Beat Sports Beat -5-4-3-2-1: 1. So. California 19 2. Ohio State 14 3. Kansas 10 4. !Penn State 1 5. Tennessee 1 6. Purdue 7. MICHIGAN 8.

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.

Their defensive showing against Northwestern is one of reasons why Michigan is ranked seventh in the nation. ( Gridde Pickings I David Weir 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.

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. PARAGON RAPID COPY CENTER 311 E.
