Final AP Poll Rates Aggies' Nation's Best Tennessee Places Second Ahead Of Trojan Team; Wolverines Picked 20th NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-(P)-For the second straight'season, a member of the Southwest Conference has been voted the nation's outstanding foot- ball team by the final ballot of sports writers and gridiron experts in every section of the country. Last year Texas Christian Univer- sity, sparked by Davey O'Brien, was on top of the heap in the closing As- sociated Press poll. This time the Texas Aggies, having waded unde- feated and untied through a tough schedule, won the distinction by an iipressive margin over their closest rivals, the Tennessee Volunteers. Tennessee also wound up in second place in 1938. The Aggies polled 1091.points on the basis of 10 for first place, 9 for second, etc. Tennessee had 970, Southern California 891, Cornell 889, Tulane 804, Missouri 318 1-3, UCLA 289 5-6, Duke 232, Iowa 220 5-6, and Duquesne 130 to round out the na- tion's "Big Ten." Of the first five leaders, four will participate in outstanding "bowl" games on New Year's Day, Tennessee meeting Southern Cal in the Rose Bowl and the Aggies tackling Tulane in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans. Cornell's great undefeated, untied team announced early it would not accept invitations. Missouri, sixth in the final balloting, meets Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl at Miami. Eleventh and twelfth in the voting, with 120/2 and 112 points, respec- tively, were Boston College and Clem- son, who collide in the Cotton Bowl game at Dallas. Notre Dame had 92 points, Santa Clara 87, Ohio Stae 70, Georgia Tech 59, Fordham 26, Ne- braska 22, Oklahoma 20, Michigan 18, Princeton 17, North Carolina 16.

Ten mien will make the trip, and only those six who played State are practically cer- tain to go. Rochester and Cornell will be the only teams which the Wolverines faced in last season's victory parade on their holiday tour when they won five straight and lost the final game to Toledo 44-36. The replacements for Syracuse, Butler and Toledo, who were on last year's schedule, are Connecticut, Tu- lane and Pittsburgh. The Panthers under the new Bowman Code are engaging all of the Big Ten squads that they possibly can. In addition to Michigan, Pittsburgh will play Northwestern, Ohio State, and In- diana, and none of these teams can be classed as "breathers." Panthers Show Promise Pittsburgh has one of the most promising teams in the East having lost only one man through gradua- tion. However, the sensational sopho- more Bob Pattrath, who led the Panthers in scoring last season has failed to report, but Dr. Carlson, head basketball coach, is not greatly dis- turbed by his loss. Pittsburgh will be Michigan's last road opponent, and they will clash on New Year's Day at Columbus, Ohio. Carlson will have two scoring stars from last year's freshman squad, Eddie Ziolkowski and Jim Egan, bid- ding for Pattrath's vacant spot. All together eight veteran lettermen are returning and five of these are Jun- iors, which means the Panthers should have another good squad next year. Connecticut will have an all veteran team to send on the floor which should give the Wolverines quite a battle in their opening contest at White Plains, N.Y.
