THE MICHIGAN DAILY olverines Jump To Third Place In Only Gophers, Texas Outrank Varsity Eleven Purple Slips To Thirteenth Place; Texas A. and M., Tulane Rise To First Ten NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-(P)-It was Minnesota and Texas still running one-two today as 127 of the nation's football experts scanned perform- ances of the top college teams throughout the country and, in the second of the weekly Associated Press Ranking Polls, kept these two teams at the head of the parade. At the same time they established Saturday's clash at Ann Arbor be- tween Michigan and Minnesota as very much the week's outstanding battle, and perhaps one of the most vital of the season. For Michigan, on the strength of its 14-7 conquest of Northwestern, was boosted from sixth place a week ago into third, only 263 points back of Minnesota. Gophers Lead Last Year The Golden Gophers, No. ,1 team in thel and a year ago, polled 69 first-place votes, worth 10 points each; 33 for second place, and only one vote for lower than fifth posi- tion. This gave them a total of 1,169 points, to 1,095 for the Texas Long- horns, impressive winners over four rivals from as many Conferences, and 906 for Michigan. Texas was ranked at the top on 33 ballots and Michigan on seven. Duke, dropped oown a' notch by the Wolverines' climb, also was first choice of seven voters and polled 758 points. Thus the first four teams dominated the poll to such an extent that they drew far more than half of the total number of pointsaward- ed. TPurdue Number 11 Texas A. and M. and the Green Wave made the biggest advances, the Aggies coming up from 14th place and Tulane from 17th. They shoved Ohio State, still undefeated but only after a close call with Purdue, down to No. 11.

To Get Tickets Many Show Indignation. Over Poor Seating (Continued from Page 1) succeeded in reaching the window in the record time of three and one-half hours, considered himself lucky to have landed part of his senior seats within shouting distance of the fifty- yard line. Practically all student statements} were in the same vein, but many of the students failed of Cheffy's final success, being forced out by the pres- sure of the crowd, which at times was so closely packed that it was difficult to ascertain where one student stop- ped and another began. The near hysteria was atW _ed by most to the complete sell-out of public tickets and the fact that a ticket to the Minnesota game now ranks with a press pass to the Rose Bowl. Remarkable also was the size of the blocs of tickets that many stu- dents purchased, representing pre- sumably fraternities, sororities, and residence halls. One student pur- chased 140 tickets, and several others obtained as many as seginty or eighty. However, with 28,000 of the pasteboards on hand as the office opened for business, Mr. Tillotson re- mained perfectly confident that the supply would not be exhausted until every student who wanted to buy his share of tickets had done so. Shortly after 9 p.m., the only evi- dences remaining of the terrible struggle that had just ensued were a border of horribly crushed shrubbery along the side of the administration, building, and a custodian disconso - lately testing the battered doors. Gridiron Analyst Has Field Day When Wolverines Beat Wildcats By STAN CLAMAGE The grid analyst, the student of football, finally had a field day last Saturday in the battle between Mich- igan and Northwestern. For years this person has con- . .:y tended that it is not individualistic performance that is the telling dif- ference between victory and defeat. It is this same person who followed with disapproval the concoctions of experts who based their selections and comparisons of high sco ing S elevens and a small group of stand- Iout players. In two previous games Northwest- ern had massed a grand totalof more than 70 points. They had eight great backs and a fine tackle. Michigan had a great line and a well-coor- dinated backfield. And they had capable substitutes. And so, with their fine backs and a tackle, the} Wildcats were odds-on favorites to take the Wolverines in stride. * * * HATS,OFF DEPARTMENT: Head- lines and copy have already, paid tribute to the individuals who made possible a Michigan win. The Kuz- mas, Wisterts, Ceithamls, etc., have ; shared the glory. How about a word about Coach Fritz Crisler and his COACH FRITZ CRISLER aides.

And r R ) ' D- Michigan Tradition Of Great Centers Is Carried On fly Steady Bob' Inga is 9ye~ -___ By BUD HENDEL Take your pick of the Western Conference centers-and if you don't end up with Bob Ingalls,' fiery Michi- gan pivotman, you better run, not walk, to the nearest brain specialist for a complete check-up. For the pivot post is one spot where Wolverine Coach Fritz Crisler need not have any fears. The center play of the current Maize and Blue pigskin artillery has been one of the most workmanlike jobs of gridiron precision seen around these parts for many a year. Ingalls' Greatest Year A product of Marblehead, Mass., Ingalls 'has covered himself with glory during his three-year tenure with the Wolverines. And this year looks to be his greatest. When the big redhead first, came up to the varsity he was hidden un- der the limelight of Archie Kodros, the barrel-chested Michigan center and captain. But before the season was over, Blazin' Bob had proved to one and all that he had the stuff for the "Champions of the West." Let's go back to his sophomore year. Bob didn't see much action at, the pivot post, due mainly to the presence of Kodros, but he won his letter. For the redhead who nestles over the ball for the Wolverines to- day played a lot of quarterbak for the Maize and Blue in 1939. What loyal Michigan fan doesn't remember that fateful autumn? What Ann Arborite doesn't shudder when he hears the date, "Nov 4, 1939?" Yes, that was the year the Wolver- ines were touted as the greatest team L Gophers of Minnesota the following b Saturday. So Bob Ingalls asked Fritz Crisler r to let him try the field general's post. Crisler, weak in reserve quarterbacks, used Bob at quarterback during the practice sessions, and the big sopho- more looked so good that when the whistle blew for the Minnesota strug- gle Ingalls was calling the Michigan plays. The Wolverines lost that game to the Gophers, 20-7, but Bob Ingalls was a hero in defeat. He was no Eva- shevski, but he was Bob Ingalls play- ing his heart out for a losing cause against the toughest team in the na- tion. Since that time the battling red- head has been one of the mainstays of the Wolverine varsity. Outshines Bill Diehl In the Iowa fray against Bill Diehl, the Hawkeye captain and reputed to be one of the best pivotmen in the dountry, Bob was the center on the field.c And last Saturday against the star- studded Northwestern aggregation, the Michigan senior was one of the best men on a gridiron replete with potential All-Americans. Teamed with quarterback George Ceithaml, he backed up the line in a masterful display of determination and cour- age-plugging up gaping holes and spilling Wildcat ball carriers before they could cross the line of scrim- mage. This Saturday Bob will be once again giving it everything he has. He knows what it means to lose to Minnesota, and he doesn't like it. BOB INGALL _ in collegiate football. But on Nov. 4, 1939, a scrappy band of gridders played the Maize and Blue down at Champaign, and when the final gun sounded Michigan was trampled in the 'mud by a score of 16-7, defeated by a fighting Illinois team that had been pointing for that one game, Takes Evy's Place And Forest Evashevski, the "One Man Gang," the great blocking quar- terback of the Wolverines, was/ in-, jured so seriously that there was no hope of having him face the Golden r TRACK MANAGERS All sophomores interested in try- ing out for positions as track managers please report to the track on Ferry Field after 4 p.m. this week.
