Ohio State, Jim Saxton Lead In National Collegiate Poll The Battalion along with 100 other colleges across the nation recently compiled the 1st Annual National Collegiate All-American Team. Along with the All-Americans, the top ten teams in the country were selected. The Battalion didn’t agree with several selections of the poll, but as a whole, we went along. First of all, we thought that Alabama was the No. 1 team in the nation, not Ohio State. Also, UCLA was the No. 10 team instead of Utah State which was humili ated last week by Baylor, the owner of a 5-5 record in the SWC. Secondly, we thought Texas’ Don Talbert, Colorado’s Jerry Hilde brand and Kansas’ John Hadl rat ed first team polling. TOP TEAMS 1. Ohio State 489 2. Alabama 488 3. Texas 368 4. LSU 363 5.

(AP) — Rice, at full strength, and Kansas - , with an attack that likely to produce a angles, are likely to produce a real offensive show Saturday when they meet in the Bluebonnet Bowl football game. The Owls at full strength can be mighty tough as Louisiana State learned back in September. But for most of the season the Owls were hampered by key injuries. Rice opened its season by beat ing LSU 16-3. LSU didn’t lose an other game all season. Rice got more than prestige and a victory, though. The Owls got injuries.

Baylor furnished the only un animous selection in quarter back Bobby Maples of Mt. Ver non. He was the first player in three seasons to win votes from all rival coaches. Texas furnished the outstand ing back in Ernie Koy and Rice center Malcolm Walker was vot ed the outstanding lineman. Koy is from Bellville, Walker from Dallas. Texas Christian landed tackle Norman Evans of Donna, guard Ray Ragland of Killeen, and half-back Larry Bulaich of La- Marque on the first team. Texas A&M put on tackle Ronny Moore of Brownwood, guard Melvin Simmons of Odessa, and half back Tommy Meeks of Bryan. Texas had Koy and end Knox Nunnally of Midland. Baylor landed Maples and end Caborne Knudson of Baytown. Arkansas and Texas Tech players were not considered for the team since these schools do not meet a majority of other freshman teams. Injuries at the Houston school reached a season-low Nov. 11 when Rice had a total offense of only 77 yards in losing to Arkansas 10-0. But then things took a turn for the better and the Owls wound up the season with three straight victories for third place in the Southwest Conference.
