ing Army, 48-14. Army, ranked 11th last week, failed to draw’ a vote after that debacle. Southern Methodist, ranked 14th before losing to Duke, and Notre Daihe, rated 15th before bowing to Purdue, suffered the same fate. It was the first time Notre Dame failed to show in the rankings since Nov. 27, 1951. Points are given on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis for votes from first through 10th places. Ranked in order behind the five tops teams were: Tennessee, 141; Michigan, 124; Mississippi, 107; Southern California, 105; and Baylor, 25. Twenty four coaches, as compared with 22 last week, rated Oklahoma the No. 1 team. Michigan State received eight firstplace votes this week after drawing seven the previous week.

Syracuse, lowa, Pittsburgh, Stanford, Oregon State Clemson and Washington made up the second 10 grodp. Minnesota, Yale and Arizona Tempe State were the other schools that drew votes.

Big Ten Heads Concerned Over Athletic Aid CHICAGO (UP) Rules changes to Clearly define what Big Ten schools can do to recruit and assist athletes will be proposed to the conference in December as the result of a previously secret survey report on current practices. Though the current aids and policies on recruiting are “legal” and within present conference rules, the amounts granted in aid and the methods of recruiting have become a matter of “concern" to conference officials. Already one recommendation to restrict aid has been approved in principle by the conference at a special meettag in August. This will requipe that aid to athletes be given completely on a basis of need, with “need” defined by a hard and fast formula and assessed by an independent agency. The voluminous "secret report”, which circulated to the presidents of conference institutions, athletic directors and faculty representatives. was prepared by a six-man committee. It was designed to be blunt and shocking in its presentation of facts for study. Some of its revelations were: 1. All but 12 of the 258 football lettermen in 1955 were in contact with football coaches before matric. ulation and only six athletes were unsolicited. Most athletes visited three schools at least; some went to six or more. Entertainment expense has become so great that controls became necessary.at some institutions. At one school expense was $13,5-00 and 95 per cent of the prospective athletes receive either meals or lodging. 2. Alumni clubs are being organized systematically, and there is reliance upon ilumni to contact athletes and arrange campus visits. Prospects have become “shoppers.” Football coaching staffs have been enlarged with recruitment a primary aim. 3. The conference schools are on an “offer" basis with aid in the form of work and-or unearned aid offered virtually every athlete. Sub. silies have increased to staggering proportions and literal work-aid re. quirements "are being bent if not tortured.” 4. Athletes last year received ah average of $260 in aid compared to $47 in 1948. Football and basketball lettermen at schools averaged $609.83 in aid. Unearned aid jump , ed more than 600 per cent between i 1948 and 1955, from $56,694 to' $348,688. ' 5. Payrolls on “make-work” by athletic departments average $46.300 per year, four times the 1946 payrolls. In many programs jobs specify an amount per month rather than hourly pay. 6. Coaching staffs believe that coaches at other schools are "crowding or violating” the rules. The report has served as a "revaluation of the Big Ten code.” commissioner Kenneth L. Wilson said. He described it as “primarily an es. fort to analyze trends.” The committee warned that, should the etrnd continue, educa- I tionai administrators might dissolve the sports program. However, the committee found a “minimum of abuse” in academic favoritism. Under the legislation to be proposed, schools would be permitted to provide aid in the amount of board, room, books, tuition and sls per month, deducting whatever amount the student could furnish. Standard Oil Co. Line Explodes GREENWICH, Ohio (UP)’ A Standard Oil Co. line carrying highly explosive butane gas exploded today, forcing evacuation of about 25 families. Three railroads temporarily discontinued service and traffic was douted around the area in Huron County in northern Ohio.

Paul Richards Signed To New Baltimore Pad By UNITED PRESS Paul Richards received a vote of confidence for a “job well done” today but to the Baltimore Orioles’ field and general manager “it’s only half done." “It’s great to receive a new contract.” said the 47 year old Texan. “But I won’t be satisfied until I give Baltimore fans a winner.” The Orioles finished sixth—2B games behind the American League champion New York Yankees — last season but were rated the most .improved team in the circuif by no less an authority than Casey Stengel. It* was a tribute to Richards — whose threeyear blueprint for the Orioles’ success seemed hopelessly bogged j down in 1955. I■ : ’ Richards’ new contract extends through 1959 and is estimated to call for more than $50,000 a year. The post — World Series flurry of baseball activity also continued on other fronts today with the Yankees, New York Giants. Chicago Cubs and White Sox and Kansas City Athletics involved in deals of various sizes. The Yankees sold 30-year-old, right handed hitting outfielder Bob Cerv to the Athletics in a deal the Kansas City club said com : pleted the Enos Slaughter transaction.: The Athletic* also announced the purchase of pitcher Bennett Flowers from the Philadelphia Phillies. The Yankees followed up the sale of Cerv by dropping two veti erans and purchasing seven players from minor league affiliates. They sold veteran pitcher Sonny 'Dixon and outfielder George Wilson to Denver In the American Association; then they bought pitchers Mark Freeman. Jack Urban and Jim Depalo, infielder Woody Held and catcher Darrell Johnson from that club, brought up .thirdbaseman Dick Sanders from Binghamton and pitcher Al Cicotte from Richmond. The Giants sold Bob Hofman, 31 yqar old utility infielder and a catcher to Minneapolis in the American Associiation and purchas'ed four pitchers from their farm teams. They were Joe Shipley from Minneapolis ' and Neil Roberts. Fernando Rodriquez and John Fitzgerald from Dallas. The Cults purchased outfielders Jim Bolger and Bob Speake from their Los Angeles farm team. The Cubs also brought up pitcher Gene Podge and infielder Bob McKee while selling Frank Kellert and 'Ritchie Myers. The White Sox sent ttiiird-base-man Joe Kirrene to Indianapolis on waivers and obtained outfielder Jim Landis and pitcher Don Rudolph frefm Memphis. Sugar Hart Winner By Early Knockout NEW YORK (UP) — Many box ing men hailed Garnet (Sugar) Hart as “another Sugar Ray Rob nison” today because of the young Philadelphia welterweight's impressive television debut Monday night at St. Nicholas arena, where he registered his ninth straight victory. , It was also 20-year-old Hart’s fourth straight knockout as he stopped aggressive Earl Dennis of New York at the end of the third round, before 1,773.
