ARMY BACK
 AT TOP IN
 GRID POLL
By BOB GRUBB

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-After only weeks absence, Army has return ed to the head of the nations football parade, and Texas, which a week ago tasted briefly of fame, has slipped into third place behind Notre Dame.
 The country's sports writers, bal letting in the Associated Press weekly poll, were quick to restore Red Blaik's Black Knights. on the basis of their 20-13 victory over Michigan, to the No. l ranking they held for two years.
 The Longhorns squeaked through over Oklahoma by the same score that Army did in beating Michigan Army previously had defeated Oklahoma 21-7, and because of that game the Texas team had declared it made Army look bad by comparison.
 This week the Longhorns were given 33 votes for the top spot, and while they drew more than Metre Danes 3l for first place, the Irish rolled up huge second-place score-5li2 to 31 for Texas. Ap- parently Notre Danes trouncing of Purdue made a better impression on the voters than did Texas 20-13 decision over the Sooners.
 In spite of their setback by Army, Michigans Wolverines droppe d only enc notch in the ratings, from fourth last week to fifth. Displacing Michigan at No. 1 position was University of California at Los Angeles, 26-6 victor over Stan ford The Bruins third straight win got them to five first-place ballots and all of the writers con- tributed to 763 point total for the UCLANS.
 Oklahoma, having lost to both Amy and Texas, got an E" for effcrt by heing promoted from 22nd to 18th ranking, back of unbeaten Columbia and Louisiana State.

Fans: Mungo Was
NOT Knocked From The
Box In Tuesdays Game

Tuesday night at Clinton, in
a Tobacco State League game,

the Dunn-Erwin team, IA to S.
The story carried in Wednes-
days Star reported that Van
Lingle Mungo, manager of the
Blues and a former Giant
hurler, was knocked from the
mound in the fifth inning.
The Star has received sew
eral letters in protest to this
account of the game. Tom
Vernon, official scorer and COR
respondent of the Star writes,
"Mungo pitched five innings
and the line score would have
shown that in the fourth and
fifth innings the Twins did
not score at all. The summary
shows that Mungo allowed
only four hits. Hash was
shown as the relieving pitch
err in the sixth inning and
that he hurled two-thirds OF
an inning. allowed no hits,
but walked two men. The
credit for pulling the game
out of the fire should 60 to
Keane, who relieved il the
sixth with two men out"
A Clinton doctor, in protest
ing the item wrote, "Mungo
allowed three hits, two runs
were scored against him in
the five innings he worked.
He left the game in the fifth
inning with the score 5 to 2
in favor of Clinton"
A postal card also protest.
ed the story in harsh words.
The Star is glad to make this
correction and from all reports
Mungo replaced himself on
the mound while his club had
a S to 2 lead in the contest.
