By WILL GRIMSLEY

NEW YORK, DeC. S.-hl-NOtlC ' Danes powerized Irish made every pcll a winning one and emerged today, for the second straight year, as the No l team in intercollegiate i football
 Punctuating an all-victor!ous nine. game schedule with smash ing 38-7 rout of Southern Cali fornia, the men of South Bend pulled away from their closest challenger, unblemished Michigan, and laid stake to the mythical national championship With votes to spare in the final Associated Press poll.
 Michigan, dateu up with South eIn Cal on January l in the Rose Bowl, finished second in the decis- i've standings. Once-t:ed Southern Methodist, unspotted Penn State and once-defeated Texas followed in order.
 Titanic Ten Rounding out the Titanic Ten were Alabama, Pennsylvania, So. California, North Carolina and Georgia Tech. Southern Gals loss last Saturday tumbled the Trojans from third to eighth. It had been close as quarter-t to- nine between Notre Dame and Michigan until last weekend when Notre Dames sided triumph bolstered Irish stock in the minds of the l46 football writers from coast forecast who participated in the balloting
 The Irish received 107 first place votes to g for the Western Con- ference Kings and wound up with Q total of 1,410 points to Michi- gans 1,289 Ten points are award ed fer a first place vote, nine for second and so on.
 North Carolina received seven first place votes from loyal home state hackers and the only others went to. Penn State, Alabama and Oklahoma, one each.
 Good Balance

 The Midwest, of course, had the distinction of furnishing the one two teams.
 The standings turned up some un- usual twists Alabama and Geor- gia Tech, couple of Southeastern Conference powers, crashed the se- lect group. while the Southeastern Champion, Mississippi, ran 18th. North Carolina finished ahead of William & Mary, No. IA, al- though the latter was winner of the Southern Conference crown
