OU Remains No.1 Team CU, Wichita Get Votes
New York—(U.P.)-Oklahoma, which surmounted its biggest obstacle toward an undefeated football season last weekend, retained the top spot in the United Press ratings today with Wisconsin moving up to second place.
Coach Bud Wilkinson's Sooners $ ^{®} $
Coach Bua Winnere received 26 first-place votes from the 35 leading college coaches who make up the United Press rating board and thus held the No.1 honor for the second week in a row.
Oklahoma, playing without firststring quarterback Gene Calame, beat a tough Texas team, 14-7, last Saturday for its third straight victory this season. The Sooners begin quest of their seventh consecutive Big Seven conference championship Saturday against Kansas. Of their conference rivals, only Colorado (rated 13th this week) is given much chance of providing trouble for Wilkinson's men.
The Sooners attracted a total of 333 points this week—only 17 short of a perfect score. Wisconsin, 13-7 conqueror of Rice for its third victory of the year, had four first-place votes and 274 points. (Points

2 State Prep Teams Unbeaten Since '53
By United Press
A pair of Kansas High school football teams have combined speed, power and poise to achieve unbeaten, untied records stretching over two seasons.
Plainville hasn't lost in 20 games while the Kansas School for Deaf, Olathe, has a string of 12 victories.
Those two are the only ones to stay all-victorious so far this season of 13 teams which had perfect records for 1953. However, McLouth has suffered only a tie, 6-6 by Tonganoxie last week, after 16 wins.

are awarded on the basis of 10 for a first-place vote, nine for a second and so on down to one for a 10th place vote.)
Other first-place votes were distributed as follows: Two for UCLA and one each for Ohio State and Purdue, which ranked behind Wisconsin in that order; and one for Colorado. The Big Ten conference thus placed three of the top five teams this week, as well as the ninth-ranked team, Minnesota.

Duke, Notre Dame and Mississippi occupied the sixth to eighth ratings in order, with Penn State regaining 10th place after dropping to 12th last week. Minnesota and Penn State were this week's newcomers among the top 10, replacing Iowa (which dropped to 14th) and Southern California (20th).
UCLA, which edged Washington, 21-20, last Friday night for its fourth win in a row, dropped one place to third with 240 points. Ohio State had 188 points. Purdue 180, Duke 137, Notre Dame 128, Mississippi 108, Minnesota 76 and Penn State 48.
Minnesota made the biggest advance among the top 10, vaulting seven places to ninth; Ohio State moved up six places to fourth; while Wisconsin, Notre Dame and Penn State each improved two places over the previous week.
Next Saturday's top game thus shapes up between second-ranked Wisconsin and fifth-ranked Purdue at Madison, Wis.
The two service schools, Navy and Army, led the second 10 group in that order, with Colorado and Iowa next. Rice, Arkansas and Georgia Tech followed, Texas and Michigan State were tied for 18th, and Southern California (eighth last week) was 20th.
It was erroneously stated in yesterday's Daily Kansan, under the heading "Trails," written by Jack Lindberg, Kansan Sports Editor, that the average KU football player received for part time jobs $75 a month.
Gridder's Earnings Stated Incorrectly
Sports Editor Lindberg admits that he was a victim of bad information. Football coach Chuck Mather and assistant football coach Wayne Replogle corrected the sports editor on this count.
The University and the NCAA sanction part time jobs, but the pay for these jobs can not exceed $15 a month and some players do not receive this much. Mr. Replogle said if anything over this amount was received it "would be beyond the scope of knowledge of the University."
Floyd Patterson Draws Boos, But Wins
New York —(U.P.)— To the education of young Floyd Patterson a new element has been added—boos from the crowd.
At 19, the world's fourth-ranking light heavyweight contender had his first experience with booing last night as he won a unanimous eight-round decision over Esau Ferdinand of San Francisco in their TV bout at St. Nicholas arena.
Patterson of Brooklyn registered his 16th victory in 17 professional games in 2004 wins, who boored considerably during the last half of the dull match.
Floyd's hit-and-run tactics evoked some vocal displeasure, and Ferdinand's inability to land any solid head punches until the final round also brought forth throaty protests.
George Thomas of Oklahoma scored 24 points against Kansas in 1949, and Buddy Leake of the Sooners scored the same number of points against Oklahoma A&M in 1951.
Larry Grigg, Oklahoma halfback, scored touchdowns in nine consecutive games last season.
--ing a neck brace. The fourth inju- rced squad member was Dick Reich, junior center, who saw only limited action.
4 Players to Miss OU Tilt
At the conclusion of yesterday's three hour practice session, Coach Chuck Mather placed four team members on the doubtful list for combat in the Oklahoma game this Saturday.
Two-year letterman, Gene Vignatelli was held back from scrimmage at his tackle position by an injured ankle, but attended practice in sweat clothes. Letterman John Handley and Bobby Conn are both sidelined due to injuries and should be definitely out of the OU contest. Handley, junior back, wore an ankle cast and watched practice with halfback Conn who was wearing a neck brace. The fourth inju- rced squad member was Dick Reich, junior center, who saw only limited action.
The number one unit was composed of Don Martin and John Anderson at the ends. Gene Blasi and John Drake at tackles, at guard were Don Pfutzenreuter and Bob Hubbard, and Frank Black rounded out the line at center. Bev Buller continued to lead the team at the quarterback slot with Dick Blowey and Ralph Moody at the halfback positions and Bud Laughlin at fullbcak.
