Coaches Vote zt -■* • ' ■**.” J Tennessee As Team 0$ Year New Yorjr, Dec, 4.—(UP)—Tinnessee was rated the No. 1 team in the nation for the 1951 football season by the United Press coach? es ratings board which released its final rankings,-today. The Vols’ single wingbaak ' machine, assembled by coach Kober' Ney land, wqnnd up its regular campaign undefeated and untied with a 35-27 triumph oyer Vander blit Saturday, and tha t . was enough for most of the 35 outstanding coaches who rate the teams weekly during the season. Twenty three of them placed Tennessee’ first on their list of. 10, and the others all placed the Vols sixthcor better. Michigan State—also a perfecd*. record team?—ranked second in the final go-round, j Illinois, the; Rose Bowl Representative from the Rig Ten. was placed third. Mary-, land fourth and Georgia Tech fifth. Nor one of the top five lost a game, although Illinois was tied by Ohio State and Georgia Tech by Duke. S ' '' A Rounding out the top 10 -were Princeton. Stanford. Wisconsin, Baylor and Texas Christian. Tennessee got 317 of a possible 35(? points iff the balloting, and its Jack, of a clean sweep can bei blamed on one thing—its schedule* Os the 10 teams Tennessee com quered this season, only one—Kentucky—rated in the top 20. This season Tennessee aws voted the No. 1 prospect by the coaches in their pre-schedule size-up, and the Vols subsequently beat Mississippi State, 14-0; Duke, 26-0; Chat(a-) nooga, 42-13; Alabama, 27-13; Tennessee Tech,_6B-0; -North Carolina, 27-0;' Washington and Lee, 60’14;! Mississippi. 42-12; Kentucky, and Vanderbilt. 35-227. • Oddly, Tennessee did not win its confer en c e . championship even though it won the national championship. Georgia Tech took the Southeastern conference tifte) because it won tfeven league games to Tennessee's five. The Duke tie was outside the conference. \ i ■— ■ .

Minor League Teams Battle for Survival | .Columbus, 0., Dec. 4. — (UP) — '|he minor baseball leagues, fighting for survival, wert scheduled td JJmplete their player draft todas 4id the appeal to the majors tor !e help need to .continue rerating. That h®p included relaxation of ayir limits ;so higher caliber ik-yers would be available, and at t|.ust a partial blackout of the major league broadcasting and tele(iistlng which saturated their territories during 1951. I The broadcasting was so widespread last season, according to jnedldent George M. Trautman, of tpe that it definitely ifrcught about bankruptcy for sev- 1 4’al key clubs. i I The''situation was so bleak that it was difficult to interest new cap!-. 1 t|l for clubs which heeded backing keep going. Few financiers tnj towns were willing to| .<>end money to back enterprises Which showed so little chance ofi succeeding. | Yet the club owners sticking itj (fut said they had every reason to b/lieve that 19t2 would be a ( better j|ear than la&L—First of all, they fjeure that there will be more defense money and that the recreation dollar will go further when sipent for baseball than tor other shotting events. I '‘After all, there still is no better bargain anywhere in the world today than ai ball game, either in dhe major or minor leagues,” said sord Frick, commissioner of baseball, who is here to sit In on the Meetings. "Other entertainment Vots have gone up sharply, but a t|»n get a long afternoon or tfvening of enjoyment for his buck ■ it he go<es out to the old ball park." I Frick said tliat the majors stood willing to help out the minors in way possible, because “if we tfcn't, were cutting off our own supply lines.” \ ("Baseball in all respects is in critical position,” he said. "But think we’re healthy ehough to irvive.” Much of-what has gdn£ on here > far has b<4en behind the scenes aneuvering"involving radio broad? qpsting and telecasting, but the ||ub owners admittedly are fearful making widespread curtailments fgur fear of running into trouble ith the federal government. •The biggest hitch in cutting down ■oadcasts now, is not the major league \ clubs, who are willing to in a reduction, but it is tlie little radio stations In smaller tpWns which want to continue the ifecratively-sponsored play-by-play for their audiences. These broadcasts defiintely draw fans 4way from the parks but the statjon owners complain that they are besieged with calls whenever they ihtempt to cut them out.
