To the immense relief of the area’s 4,000,00’0 residents, one of the worst smog sieges ever experienced in the Ix>s Angeles basin is over. A weather change that moved down from the north lifted a temperature inversion and allowed the escape of factory smoke, car exnaust fumes and other air pollutants that had been held close to the ground for 17 straight days. As Emil Kurtz, district forecaster for the weather bureau, put it:

Oklahoma Is Still Tops In College Ranks NEW YORK (INS) -Oklahoma kept a precarious hold on first place among the nation's college football teams today while the rest of the grid giants played musical chairs in an effort to prove they’re better than the Sooners. For the seventh successive week Bud Wilkinson's undefeated Sooners got the nod from International News Service's six-man panel of experts as the No. 1 team in the land. But starting with the big four and running straight through the top ten, there were' major alterations. Ohio State, Army, Arkansas, Michigan and West Virginia moved

ahead in-the race for national honors w’hile Wisconsin, Mississippi and Minnesota plunged downward. Ohio State rushed up Into second place and took away that vomited'. spot from Wisconsin "by beating the Budgets, 31 to 14. The Buckeyes (5-0) thus made a determined bid to unseat the Sooners, who appeared to hack some of their usual drive in besting Kansas State, 21 to V. It was, nevertheless. Oklahoma's fifth straight victory of the season and Its 14th in a row. Wisconsin, suffering its first Isos in five games, dropped to seventh place in the ratings. Caught in the middle, so to speak, was UCLA. Red Sanders' team made it six in a row by pasting Oregon State, 61 to 0, but remained in third place.The fourth slot, which Ohio State vacated went to an Army team that seems to get -stronger every ’week. (Mach Earl Blaik. used everybody but the cheerleaders as his team walloped Columbia, 67 to 12.
