The the closest kind of a vote, Michigan State's Spartans, beaten once this season, edged out unde- feated Auburn by just nine points in the weekly Associated Press poll. Auburn's great defensive team actually got one more vote for first place, 88-87, but on the point sys- tern with ten points for each first place ballot, nine for second, etc., down to" one for tenth, it was Michigan State 1,851 and Auburn 1,842. The national championship now apparently depends on how these teams fare in their remaining games. Michigan State has one more, against Kansas State; Au- burn has two, against Florida State and Alabama. Michigan State, on top early this season before its defeat by Purdue, climaxed its comeback by routing Minnesota, 42-13. - It was a thoroughly shaken-up top ten that emerged after last Saturday's surprises. Moving up were Michigan State, from fourth to first; Auburn, third to second; Ohio State, sixth to third; Mis- sissippi, eighth to fifth; Navy, ninth to seventh, and Notre Dame from nowhere to ninth. Iowa slid from fifth to eighth while Army clung to tenth place. Tennessee, 14-7 loser to Mississippi, dropped out of the *top ten.

What could possibly have been the reason for the top two teams in the country to have tasted de- feat? Mighty Oklahoma which had a winning streak extending through five seasons, and the ram- bling Texas Aggies, the top ranked team in the country, met with the biggest upsets of the year. One can sum up the Rice victory over Texas A&M in three words- Ryan, Hill, and defense. Frank Ryan quarterbacked the team for 78 yards of the Rice touchdown march, and King Hill did all the scoring, including kicking the ex- tra point:. "Oklahoma is a great team and must be considered as good as any we played. "We just happened to have one of our best days and I don't believe anyone could have beaten us." In these words Notre Dame Coach Terry Brennan sums up the reason for perhaps the most startling finish to a winning streak in the history of college football. Sophomore fullback Nick Pietro- sante reached national stardom, in only 60 minutes of his life. Against the mighty Sooners, he racked up 169 yards rushing, with many of them coming during the Fighting Irish's 80-yd. touchdown march with four minutes left to go in the game. The defensive giants of the country, the Auburn Tigers, almost met a defense which was equal to theirs, in their game against Geor- gia. Auburn remains unbeaten, un- tied, and score upon only thrice. Fourth-ranged Michigan State played their game last weekend with a faint glimmer of hope in their hearts for a Rose Bowl trip to Pasadena. But with only four minutes to go in the game, the Spartan luck turned sour. It wasn't anything that happened in their game at Spartan Stadium, but rather what was happening hun- dreds of miles away at Columbus, Ohio. But as the crisp afternoon rolled along to a finish, the crackling voice on the loudspeaker was heard, ". . . and here are some more football scores, Ohio State 17, Iowa 13 . .. It was third string fullback Bob White who killed Spartan hopes by leading the Buckeyes to the Con- ference Championship, and to the Rose Bowl. White did almost the unheard of by carrying the ball on seven of eight carries for 65 yards in a 68-yard drive to the final, touchdown. Hidden in the statistics of last Saturday's Michigan-Indiana game are two items which should be very heartening to Wolverine fans. Namely, the ground-gaining of Michigan's reserve left halfbacks, junior Bob Ptacek and sophomore Darrell Harper. The two backs, who syibstituted for Jim Pace while the Little Rock speed merchant was taking much deserved respites, gained 36 yards in six carries. Ptacek gained 15 yards on four carries and passed to Brad Myers for Michigan's fourth touchdown. Harper picked up 21 yards in two carries. The first being a scin- tillating 19-yd. run deep in Indiana territory. Harper's run won for him special tribute from head coach Bennie Oosterbaan, who also praised his overall alert play. Midway through the fourth quarter Harper got off the Wolver- ine's only punt of the afternoon, a 33-yd. boot that rolled out of bounds on the Indiana 14. All of this proves that Michigan should have little concern over filling the illustrous left halfback shoes of Pace next year. Sideline observers have been especially im- pressed with Harper( It was almost ironical that the two backs performed so well on, what many considered, Pace's greatest day. Their work there- fore went almost unnoticed. The statistics show that one other junior; fullback Gene Sisin- yak, deserves special mention. Filling in for the injured John Herrnstein and Jim Byers, Sisin- BIG TEN STANDINGS W L T Pct.

At practice yesterday Ooster- baan also singled out for praise sophomore guard Mike Flllichio, who in the coaches' words: ". ..showed a lot of fight and scrap." The entire practice session was spent in the confines of Yost Field House. The team worked almost entirely on defensive assignments for the Ohio State game before hearing the scouting report of the Ohio State-Iowa game.

Bobby Layne enjoyed a great afternoon on the gridiron, as did his teammates, the Detroit Lions. Layne had his best day of the year, completing 17 of 24 passes for 250 yards and a touchdown as the Lions swamped the San Francisco Forty Niners, 31-10, and gained a share of first place with the Forty Niners and Baltimore Colts. Baltimore relied mainly on a, very alert pass defense to down the down-and-out Chicago Bears, 29-14. An alert secondary inter- cepted five Chicago passes with defensive halfback Milt Davis snatching three for the Colts. Cleveland lost ground in the Eastern Division as the scrappy Washington Redskins held them to a 30-30 tie. The foot in football was emphasized as Cleveland's old reliable Lou Groza kicked three field goals and a blocked conver- sion attempt by Redskin Sam Baker enabled the Browns to gar- ner a tie. But the New York Giants con- tinued to press the Browns and moved within half a game of the front liners by downing the Phila-1 delphia Eagles, 13-0. Ben, Agajan- ian's two field goals and a five- yard touchdown sweep by Frank Gifford were the only scores in the game. The Los Angeles Rams may be- come the surprise team in the NFL. Starting very slowly this season, the Rams moved to within one game of the Western Division Leaders by defeating the Green Bay Packers, 31-27. Norm Van Brocklin passed for two touch- downs and Jon Arnett ran for an- other in the Rams' second half scoring spree. DISTINCTIVE HAIRSTYLING FOR COLLEGIANS??
