Michigan State Voted As Top College Team NEW YORK (UP)- Michigan State, which wallops its tough opponents with the same ease that Oklahoma bowis over weaft-sis-ters, took over the No. 1 spot today in the United Press college football ratings. \ The matter of comparative schedules, topped off by Michigan State’s 47-14 romp against Notre Dame last weekend, caused the 35-man United Press rating board to shift its favor to the Spartans after picking Oklahoma as the nation’s best team for four straight weeks. Twenty-one of the 35 leading coaches who comprise the rating board picked Michigan State No. 1; 13 voted the Sooners tops, while one other coach chose Georgia Tech. The devasatating power with which Coach Duffy Daughtery’s Spartans crushed Notre Dame was a convincing factor. Previously Michigan State had defeated Stanford ranked 18th this. week, Michigan ranked fifth, and Indiana. Oklahoma set a 1 new mpdern major college winning record last Saturday by defeating Kansas, 34-12. for its 34th consecutive triumph. But this was only the latest in a string of down-at-the-hells opponents on the Sooners' schedule. Ojdahoma's four victims this seahas won only one game. Stnttly for what comparative

Four Redlegs Are Named On All-Star Team NEW YORK (UP) — Four players from the Cincinnati Redlegs, two each from the Brooklyn Dodgers, Milwaukee Braves and Bt. Louis Cardinals, and one from the New York Giants were named today to the annual United Press National League all-star team. The honor squad, selected by 61 sports writers from the various league cities, is one of the most powerful ever to be named. The hitters batted in a total of 751 runs this past season aud drilled a total of 228 homers. Hank Aaron, the National League batting king from Milwaukee with a .328 average, led the balloting with a total of 58 out of 61 votes. Another outfielder, Duke Snider of Brooklyn, was next with 49 votes and catcher Ed Bailey from Cincinnati ranked third with 48. Because of unusual circumstances, the United Press for the first time selected a utility all-star, Stan Musial of the Cardinals. Musial received a total of 18 outfield and 16 first base votes. This combined total would have put him ahead of rookie Frank Robinson of Cincinnati. who had 29, and first baseman Ted Klusxewski of Cincinnati, who had 32. Since Musial played both ; positions, he was designated as a utility member of the team. Red Schoendienst. veteran second baseman for the New York who has been a perennial member of the team, was selected for that spot with 31 votes, while Roy McMillan of Cincinnati was named at shortstop with 30 and Ken Boyer of St. Louis at third with a total of 44 votes. The pitchers were Don Newcombe of Brooklyn, who had 47 votes, and Warren Spahn of Milwaukee, who totaled 38. — There was a big turnover from last year’s all-star team. Only Snider. Klusxewski, Schoendienst, Musial, and Newcombe were repeaters. Musial was the leader of the squad in runs batted in with 109 and Snider set the homer pace with 43. There were six .300-plus* hitters led by Aaron's .328. Musial Was at .310, Boyer .306, Kluszewskl and Schoendienst, .302, and Bailey .300 even. hit .290 aud . Robinson .292, leaving pply bitt his .263 average was more than offset by his spectacular fielding. Besides Musial, both Kluszewski and Snider topped the 100 RBI , mark, Klu with 102 and Duke with 101. Boyer just missed with 98 and Aaron had 93. Newcombe with a 27-7 won-lost record was the biggest victory man tn the majors and Spahn with a 20-11 mark recorded his seventh j season at 20 or more victories. There was only one close race . for a position. That was at short- , stop, where McMilian beat Ernie j Banks of the Cubs by four votes.

Low-Rated Teams To Vie In Orange Bowl MIAMI (UP)—There was a time when $440,000 would buy a whale of a football bowl game, but the" Orange Bowl committee realized today it would be paying that much next Jan. 1 for two lowrated teams. The New.. Year’s game will be the “off year” under the Orange Bowl's tleup with the Atlantic Coast and Big Seven conference's. And it may turn into such an “off year” as to spell an end to the pact wben it expiree after the 1958 game. Under Big Seven rules, Oklahoma, the perennial conference champ, cannot return to Miami two years in a row. The Sooners beat Maryland in last year’s Orange tussle. That means the Big Seven will furnish its second-rated .team and, by national standard*, that outfit may even be third rate. The ACC still will send its champion, but its teams have had great fun so far this season losing to each other and particularly to teams"outside their conference. Van C. Kussrow. past president of the Orange Bowl committee who lined up the original Big SevenACC pact two years ago, commented. “It's just as well Oklahoma can't come back next January; we wouldn’t have anyone to match them/' — M Newcombe Reveals Sore Hurling Arm TOKYO (UP) — Brooklyn Dodger pitcher Don Newcombe said today be hopes his ailing right arm which plagued him throughout the World Series would recover so he could redeem himself with Japanese fans before he returns home. ' Newcombe disclosed that he injured his right elbow in the last game of the regular season against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was knocked out of the box twite during the series and again in Hawaii and in Japan on the Dodgers’ current exhibition tour. Newcombe told United Press in a telephone interview from Sapporo, Hakkaido, northernmost Japan. he was "not Teaving for the United States for treatment. “I am leaving it up to the trainer to see what he can do for me,” Newcombe said. “I've had arm trouble a couple of times before. An overcapacity crowd of 45,000 turned out last Sunday at Tokyo’s Koraukuen Stkdium to see the National League 27-game winner start against an all-Japan team. They were shocked when New combe was knocked out in the first inning without getting a man out. He walked the first man and then allowed four consecutive bits, oue of them a two-run hpmer.
