Gophers Again Rated
No. | Team OF Nation
Texas Aggies, Stanford, Bos-
ton May Have Chance To
Grab Top Place
By BILL BONI

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-P)-
Though Minnesota definitely de-
clared itself out of the Rose Bowl
picture today, the Western confer
ence football champions figure
very Importantly in one p~ost-sea-
son contest.
The Golden Gophers again are
the No. / team of the country in
this weeks seventh Associated
Press ranking poll, and from the
results of today's balloting are
favorites to finish in that position
when the final votes are cast next
week. Yet there still are three
teams-similarly undefeated and un-
tied-which stand some slight
chance of beating them. out.
Minnesota, on top for the third
straight week, got SO Of the ITO
~first-place votes this time (only
two of the country's experts rated
them worse than fourth) to accu-
mulate 1862 points. Only 44S
points, however, separate the Co
piers from fourth place Boston col
lege, with Texas A. and M. and
Stanford second and third with
LAG and 1864 points, respectively.
All three of these teams COM
plete their regular schedules this
week-the Aggies against Texas on
Thursday in a game where victory
will make them the first team to
lead the Southwest conference for
two eff ,ni obi ~ ,r. Ct~,f@-I -~:--
California Saturday, the big one the
Indians need for undisputed claim
to the coast conference title and
the Rose Bowl nomination, and
Boston against Holy Cross the
same afternoon, a game which will
find the Eagles heavily favored to
finish with a clean slate and then
get a Sugar Bowl invitation.
This weeks first ten has a
strong mid-western tinge and is
likely to retain that to the end.
In addition to Minnesota, there is
Michigan, one of the Gophers' two
extra-point victims, in fifth place;
Northwestern, beaten twice but a
big winner over Notre Dame in it's
finale, seventh, and Nebraska, the
Big Six champion, eighth.
Rounding out the list are sixth
place Tennessee, which will be
favored to complete three regular
seasons without defeat when it
meets Vanderbilt Saturday; George
town, ninth, and Ivy league cham
pion Penn, tenth with only two
points less than the Hoyas.
Penn broke into the select group
by it's 1920 victory over Cornell,
a feat which also dropped the Big
Red into the second ten after thew
had led the poll for four weeks,
been second nee and dropped to
fifth after the Dartmouth fifth
down. game.

games and tied three between

And two other bowl occupants have
