Detroit Plans Memorial For The Brown Bomber
Detroit—(U.P.)—Maybe former heavyweight king Joe Louis isn't ready to toss in the towel, but the city fathers of his home town think the Brown Bomber is all through.
They've already tendered him an official commendation and are planning a memorial of some sort. The latter kind of memorial is usually reserved for the end of the glory trail, or just plain . . . the end.
President Louis B. Miriani of the common council submitted a resolution "To choose some suitable means by which to perpetuate the esteem by which Louis is held by the people of Detroit."
His resolution won the unanimous
Michigan State Rated Top Team
New York—(U.P.)—Unbeaten and untied Michigan State, which reached a peak of power and precision in crushing Notre Dame, 35-0, Saturday, replaced Tennessee as the nation's No.1 college football team today in the ratings of the United Press board of coaches.
Although Tennessee drew 17 first place ballots compared to 14 for Michigan State, Coach Biggie Muni's Spartans received a greater number of votes for succeeding positions to earn the top ranking for the first time this season. Tennessee had led for the three previous weeks.
In addition to their 14 first place ballots, Michigan State attracted 15 for second place, and two each for third, fourth and sixth places for a total of 315 points. The Spartans were third last week.
Tennessee, in addition to 17 first place votes, received seven for second, three for third, two for fourth, one for fifth, three for sixth, and two for seventh—a total of 300 points.
Points are awarded on the basis of 10 for a first place vote, two for a second, and son on down to one for a 10th place vote.
The Spartans, with seven straight 1951 victories and a string of 13 over the past two seasons, thus climaxed a season-long climb up the football ladder. Ranked third in the pre-season listings of the 35 leading coaches who make up the board, Michigan State was sixth in the first weekly ratings and shuttled between second and third for the six previous weeks.
Tennessee, picked as the No. 1 team in the coaches' pre-season ratings, walloped Washington and Lee, 60-14, last Saturday, for its 17th straight victory over the past two seasons.
Stanford, which defeated Southern California, 27-20, and thus gained the inside track to a Rose bowl bid, jumped from ninth to fourth behind Illinois for the biggest advance of the week.
To Play Topeka In Return Match
The KU Table Tennis association will play a return match with the Topeka Table Tennis club at Topeka Wednesday night.
The KU team defeated Topeka 12 matches to 8 in an earlier tournament.
Making the trip will be Fred Chen, Al Herrington, Richard Lewis, David Wong, Charles Pine, Churby Clowers, Calvin Rogers, Dennis Williams, Jack Judson and Bob Morris.
approval of council members and Miriiani will select a committee to decide what tribute will be paid Louis.
It could be a statue, or a building given his name or countless other memorials. But it won't be a park since one recently was named after him by the department of parks and recreation.
Louis is enroute to Japan for an exhibition tour but has declined to announce any possible retirement plans.
However, the move by the council all but does that for him. And his mother also thinks he's finished with his ring activities.
"I wish he'd quit," Mrs. Joe Lewis Barrow said. "I've pleaded with him for three years to give up but he just can't get it out of his system. I think he's through now though."
The 37-year-old Louis has been active in the professional ranks since 1935 and ruled the heavyweight division with an iron fist for more than a decade after wrestling the title from Jimmy Braddock in 1937
He retired undefeated in 1948 after stopping Jersey Joe Walcott, the present titleholder. However, he attempted unsuccessfully to regain the crown from Ezzard Charles.
"Ive thought all along that Joe should have stood by his decision to retire after he beat Walcott," Mrs. Barrow said.
It was expected that he would quit for good after being knocked out by Rocky Marciano last month. But he said he would wait a little longer before revealing his plans.
What could Louis do if he does retire? Well, his mother has some ideas. "He could referee or start a boys club, most anything as long as he doesn't fight any more," she said.
Admits Indians Near Bowl Bid
San Francisco — (U.P.) — Modest Chuck Taylor, the baby coach of the Stanford Indians, finally had to admit today that there was a chance his club may go to the Rose bowl.
So saying, he announced that Dutch Fehring, considered by many the finest scout in the business, would be sent east to scout Illinois on Saturday—on the bare possibility that the Indians and Illinois should meet in Pasadena on New Year's day.
"We've got to be prepared for emergencies," he said. "We still could lose to both Oregon State and California.
"But I think if we play our best game of the season Saturday we'll beat Oregon State."
If the Indians do, then they'll be in the Rose bowl—no matter what happens in the California game. Even if they should lose the "big game" with Cal, which appears doubtful in view of the fact that injuries have just about killed off the Bear club, Stanford would tie for the Pacific Coast conference championship. And then it would get the bid because it has beaten its two closest competitors—Southern California and UCLA.
Taylor said that his club had come through the USC scrap in good shape and most of the men would be in tip-top condition for the Beaver battle.
The young coach finally joined the rest of the coaches and scouts in wonderment at the feats of his club.
"After looking at the pictures of the game against USC," he says, "I still can't figure out how we happened to beat them."
All season long coaches have congratulated him after victories—and then added: "I don't see how that club keeps winning."
So far, it has been one clutch player after another. First Quarter-back Gary Kerkorian; then rookie fullback Bob Mathias. And all through the season, it has been big end Bill McColl who has been "The" man when yardage was desperately needed.

Sea Food Of All Kinds
Philadelphia—U (P.P.) -Unbeaten Gill Turner demanded a shot at world welterweight champion Kid Gavilan today as a reward for passing the last of three test bouts with flying colors.
The hustling 21-year-old Philadelphia clouter marked up his 25th straight win, 22nd by a knockout, by stopping veteran Bernie Docusen of New Orleans on a sixth-round technical knockout last night in their scheduled 10-rounder before 9.035 at Convention hall.
Dr. W, G. B. Terry, state athletic commission physician, ordered the fight halted after the sixth because of a serious cut above Docusen's left eye and his "physical exhaustion" from the bruising clash.
The new darling of the welterweight ranks now has the opportunity for a non-title go with Gavilan in New York next month, but Turner's manager, George Katz, indicated he would settle for nothing less than a shot at the championship.
After checking two hard hitters in his last two bouts—Ike Williams and Charley Fusari—Turner stopped
If Katz remained adamant, it appeared Turner would probably meet either Billy Graham or Chicago Veiar in his next encounter.
