Nation In AP Football Poll
By BEN OLAN
Associated Press Sports Writer
The unbeaten Texas Longhorns
maintained their commanding lead
in the weekly Associated Press
college football poll Monday while
Purdue and Syracuse moved into
the top ten.
The Longhorns, 33-7 victors over
Baylor Saturday for their eighth
straight triumph, were named the
leading team by 41 of the 47 sports
Writers and sportscasters on the
committee.
Alabama, which clobbered Rich
mond 66-0, remained in second
place, followed by Ohio State,
Louisiana State and Minnesota.
There were no changes among
the first five, but there was some
wholesale shifting in the next five,
except for Colorado, which held
onto the No. 8 spot.
Mississippi, 54-0 winner over
Chattanooga, advanced one place
to sixth. Purdue’s 7-6 conquest of
Michigan State resulted in two
changes, the Boilermakers moving
into seventh place and the Spar
tans dropping from sixth to ninth.
Syracuse defeated Colgate for its
third in a row and climbed from
the also-rans to 10th position.
Georgia Tech, which lost to Ten
nessee 10-6, and Missouri, beaten
by Oklahoma 7-0, dropped out of
Saxton, Rhome Still Leading
Special To The Battalion
James Saxton of Texas and Jer
ry Rhome of Southern Methodist
increased their leads for ball-car
rying and forward passing honors,
respectively, but TCU’s Sonny
Gibbs held on to the total offense
leadership in the face of their
imposing totals Saturday.
Saxton fell only two yards shy
of his school-i’ecord total of 173
yards the previous week and is
now within striking distance of
the Texas record of 841 yards for
a season. Saxton has gained 706
while averaging 9.1 yards per car
ry and is only 135 yards off the
Longhorn mark of 841 set by
Byron Townsend in 1950.
For the second straight week
Saxton gained more yardage imsh-
ing than his three leading rivals
combined.
Rhome bettered two season high
marks as he increased his for
ward passing leadership to a 10-
completion edge over Gibbs.
Rhome completed 17 of 26 passes,
both tops for the year, for a gain
of 141 yards and two touchdowns

in the total offense department
despite a good day by the Frog
quarterback. Gibbs rushed for 51
yards and completed 10 of 20
passes for 109 yards in the loss
