Notre Dame in the No. 1 spot and the other members of the “Big* Four” rushing along behind them. The rest, a^e stragglers in the voting. Amy Second Army is second, Oklahoma third and California fouth, just like last week. The “Big Four” corner ed all but three of the first-place ballots. Oklahoma drew ill, Army 10 and California three. The oth ers went to tenth-place Michigan State (2) and to seventh-place Cor nell (1). , 9 Minnesota and Pennsylvania nosedived out of the top 10 after their respective ^defeats by Purdue and Pittsburgh; Southern Meth odist and Michigan State took their places. : A, 7 ; ‘ T - X None of the “Big Four” was hard pressed last Saturday. Notre Dame thumpeo Navy, ‘40 to 0; Army ran over'Virginia Military, 40 to 14; Oklahoma walloped Iowa State 34 to 7, and California turned back U. C. L. A.’s challenge, 35 to 21. On the point basis, with 10 for first, nine for second and so on, the Irish piled up 1569 to outdis tance the pack. The Cadet’s sec ond-place margin was sliced but they still hold the edge over Okla homa. 1323 to 1308. California has H ; 1070 'points Michigan, the only other t<>am except Notre' Dame to lead Jthe poll this season, gained support by topping Illinois, 13 to (). As k refuR the Wolverines advanced a peg from sixth to fifth. Baylof’s unbeaten Bears jumped from tenth to Slxtn on the strength of a 40*tn**J4 ramble against Texas Christian. Cornell moved up one step, to seventh on Sts 64-to-0 tout of Columbia, but Rice, surprising ly, fell from No. 5 to No. 8 de spite a 28-to-0 win over Texas Tech. ^Southern Methodist, a 7-to-6 winner over 1 Texas on D)qak Walker’s placement, took over ninth -position and Michigan State, which faces Notre Dame’s pow erhouse this Saturday, ruined Tem ple, 62 to 14, graduating to tenth place.

Murry Holdilch and Jim Fow ler have both been selected as oulrijUnding Linemen of the Week for jtheir fine performance in the Arkimsas glmo. Dim to everyone’s creditable shoeing, in the tussle with the RaZOrbucke, the Butt Sports Staff |cou|d not decide on one outstand ing .Lineman °f the Week. Sp, as the only logical solution, the ; staff deviates from its pre- viods procedure today to spot- liglit not one—hut two remarkable scrltnmage line scrappers for the Mpn * •ff" ; ^ 1 Before the Baylor game, neither fHollitch nor Foyilyr Jiad received enough ■ action \o l ; speak of. Now they have firm foothblds on the first string alignmentfdefensively. Murray Holdilch is ia 205 pound junior tackle from Blooming Grove an<4 is one of the teams oldest players. Murry reached his twenty- fifth birthday on June 22. Holditch wari nearly immoveable Saturday as the fast charging Porker backs found his area in the; line similar to that of a stone wail.. He also helped A&M’s cause early in the opening period when Battleship ran in th j 1930 Fla mingo atj Hialeah befor i being con verted t6 a jumper and shipped to England to win the tional. ! AGGIES!! he pOunccd on uii Arkansan fum ble on ;his own sevrin yard-llm* to stave off a Hog scoiHtig threat. Kiinmng right ulonk, with Hol ditch £or lineman honoya 1h Jim Fowkn'i the man with it terrific football future. Fowler was good unorigH&Siitrirday to prove that he is destined for success while sport ing the maroon and white. For Ope reason, Fowler has many days to play far A&M—he's just a sopho more. For another he’s big enough 190 poijlnds of dynamite. The coaching staff label Fowler us an offensive center on the line ups bbjfhfte each grime. But he is best known to Farmer fans as a linebacker for the improving Aggie eleven. One (of the most outstanding plays Of the game for the Aggies was when Fowler snagged a Pork er pass out of the air early in the second quarter. He took the ball ojp the Ag 40-yard marker ami rolled down the sidelines while shakirig off Porker after Porker and reached the enemy’s ten. For this, play, and many other good dmes, wSrnominate Jim Fow ler as I Co-lineman of the Wfeek. Most SWC Grid Camps Listing Many Injuries By Associated Preaa There’s an insured feeling at most Southwe|i Confer ence football camps. ; Every coach can point to one or more key men on the sidelines, several expect them to be there in Saturday's games. Baylor, the only undefeated, un tied team in conference, has three ailing. Center Eugene Hubbner is ex pected to be okeh for the important Toxas game this week. John Curtis, defensive halfback, and sophomore Quarterback Larry Isbell are the others. Southern Methodist Coach Matty Bell said Bobby Vann, one of his regular tackles, may be out for the rest of the season. Vann tore two cartilages in his knee and broke his wrist. Bell said Bobby Collier, his oth er regular tackle, had an injured shoulder, but should be able to play against Texas A&M this week. Texas listed five injuries, two serious enough to be hospitalized. These are backs Billy Pyle and Byron Townsend. Pyle has a twist ed knee that may keep him on the bench the rest of the season. Townsend has a bruised hip. First string ends Paul Williams and Ray Stone and Tackle Jim Lunsford are nursing hurts. Rice hopes to have all of its cripples back this week. Halfback Sonny Wyatt and Guard S. J. Roberts are “maybe” cases. Gerald Weatherly, the big center, should be recovered from an ankle injury. The picture was a little brighter at Texas A&M, where the Aggies found John Christensen and, Char ley McDonald may be able to play this week. They’re the team’s top safety men. Arkansas got End Frank Fischel buck in actio^ yesterday, but Coach John Barnhill said his, ace fullback, Leon (Muscles) Campbell woh’t play against Rice and may not play any more this year. Campbell has a bad knee. L. R. (Dutch) Meyer, Texas Christian Couch, explained his team's 40-14 loss to Baylor as a had day. He told u quarterback club meeting: ‘'It’s a short story. We just took a bad heating. K7verything we did was bud.” K As S' BY FRANK Mil fvr n h Continues Lead a Ground Gainer MANJTZAt A&M’s Robert Smith, who x carried the ball more than anyi elao in the Southwest Conference, continued to be the leading ball carrier with a 4.03 yard average this week.
