Michigan State Paced College Grid For Year NEW YORK, UP — Michigan State’s steamroller Spartans, ineligible for a post-season bowl bi‘d, swept through their » second straight perfect season in 1952 and gained almost unanimous acclaim as the nation's No, 1 college football team. \ Its. dynamic, painstaking coach — Clarence Biggie Munn—was vqted coach of the year by his fellow coaches for his skillful work as architect of Michigan State’s unbroken skein of 24 consecutive victories over a three year span. As an unofficial member of the Rig Ten in football until next fail, the Spartans weren’t in the running fpr a bowl bid but en route to an unbeaten season against nine foes they bowled over three Western Conference teams including co-c|tiampion Pprdue, .14 to 7. As a result, the Upited Press board of coaches posted 32 out of 35 first -place votes for Michigan State as national champion. Georgia Tech, also unbeaten and untied, was rated second, Notre Dame third. Southern California and Oklahoma tied for fourth, and UCLA was sixth, followed in order by Mississippi. Tennessee, Alabama and Wisconsin. Despite bowl blacklisting by the Southern Conference and the Big Seven, the major post - season matches lined up for New Year's Day were surprisingly attractive: i ROSE BOWL — Southern California (9-1) vs Wisconsin (6-2-1). ' SUGAR BOWL — Georgia Te(;h (11-0) vs Mississippi (8-0-2). Cotton bowl — Texas (8-2) vs Tennessee \(9-l-l). ORANGE BOWL —Alabama (9-2) vs Syracuse (7-2). GATOR BOWL — Florida (7-3) vs*Tulsa (8-F1). Southern California won Western Rose Bowl invitation on the playing field by winning the crucial Pacific Coast Conference showdown from UCLA, 14 ,to 12, but Wisconsin received ,the Big Ten bid only after a vote within league, because Purdue gained a iie for the conference crown. Georgia Teen was the Southeastern conference champion, Texas won the Southwest scramble, Oklahoma again dominated the Big Seven. Duka carried off the Southern Conference title, Utah topped the Skyline Six, \ Pennsylvania scored in the Ivy League and Houston ,U won the Missouri Valley crown. -, Notre Dame continued its climb back t to the top with a 7-2-1 record, defeating four conference champions or co-champions — Texas, Piirdue, Oklahoma and Southern California. The Irish, however, were involved in the most, bitter dispute of the season over their so-called “sucker shift’’ which some foes said was’ designed > solely to lure an opponent off-side. The most significant features of the Campaign, aside, from close conference races i almost everywhere, were the resurgence of .Far West football as demonstrated by Southern California and UCLA, the fine brand ot play in the southeastern section, and the hard knocks absorbed by teams from the Southwest. Westland Is Amateur Golfer Os The Year NEW YORK UP — Jack Westland Everett, Wash., the 47year old U. S. congressman who became the oldest man ever to win the U. S. amateur championship, was named today by metropolitan golf writers as the amateur golfer of the year. > . .
