Ohio State Still 1st; KU Up to 17th
By the Associated Press
Woody Hayes, the veteran coach of top-ranked Ohio State, has broken the unwritten rule that a 27-year-old can play.
He's publicly looking beyond the next game. In fact, he outlined how he hopes to keep his Buckeyes unbeaten and No. 1 in The Associated Press college football for that season. He said he would win ball, at least not until Nov. 21 when OSU faces fourth-ranked Michigan.
"If we do, we're going downhill," said the crusty coach after his team crushed Indiana 37-7 in a Big Ten battle last Saturday. "If we did, we were playing some good football teams yet."
The Buckeyes, who received 31 first-place votes and 1.125 points in the weekly voting

'Hawks . . .
The strength and weaknesses of the Iowa State Cyclones, plus a nugging knee injury to linebacker Steve Towle, Shawnee Mission junior, occupied the attention of University of Kansas head football coach Don Fambrough yesterday.
Towle is considered very doubtful for the game Saturday because of a hyper-extended right knee. Fambridge said the Jayhawks would miss Towle if he couldn't play, but were strong at the linebacking positions.
Mike Gardner, St. Joseph, Mo., senior,
will back up Towle, Fambrough said.
Fambrough said the Cyclones' pass defense didn't appear in films to be as
weak as their last place ranking in the Big Eight defensive category implied.
Fambridge said the 'Hawks defense would not change defensive plays to stop ISU's Mike Stracan, one of the leading rushers in the Big Eight.
"Our players will be very conscious of him, however," said Fambrough. "They just know that they won't be able to arm-tackle a runner of his ability."
Missouri, the other only team in the Top 10 to rate a No. 1 vote, remained seventh behind Southern California. Notre Dame, which faces Southern Cal in a showdown this weekend, was eighth and Louisiana State ninth.
The Jayhawk players and coaches were very aware of the past inability of the Jayhawks to win in Ames, the Cyclone's home territory, said Fambridge. He said this awareness hopefully would better prepare the Hawks mentally for the game.
AMES, WA (AP) - Iowa State staged a rugged two-hour work yesterday with emphasis on pass defense and pass rush and improving offensive consistency.
The bottom 10 were Arizona State,
Houston, UCLA, Tennessee, Tulane, Miami
of Ohio, Kansas, Texas Tech, Texas and
Richmond.
... vs. Cyclones
Fullback Moes Moore has recovered from a rib injury that kept him out of last week's Kansas State game. Coach Earle Bruce said Moore would be pushing Phil Danowsky for the starting fullback back when the Cyclones faced Kansas Saturday.
Bruce said either senior Lonnie Coleman or sophomore Ray King would start at the top of the first row.
Bruce praised defensive back Scott Bradley for his outstanding punting job this season. Bradley averaged more than 47 yards on six kicks last week in the Cyclones' 21-19 loss to Kansas State, and has averaged 42.5 vards for the season.
Wilke, who is hospitalized with a head injury.
"Scott is hitting the ball so we worry sometimes that he might kick our defense."
Fewer than 500 tickets remain for Saturday's homecoming game with Kansas, as the series continues.
34-7, collected eight top tops and 953 points. Michigan, a 35-6 victory over Wisconsin, remained fourth with one first-place vote and 857 points and Penn State, which bested Syracuse 49-6, was favored by four voters in the first and received 709 points to remain fifth.
The only change in the Top Ten was the re-entry of Nebraska and the exit of Tennessee. Cornhusker II moved to 10th, and Missouri, moved up to 10th with a 10-9
CHICAGO(AP)-]—Lee MacPhail, general manager of the New York Yankees, was named yesterday to succeed Joe Cronin as president of the American League.
It's Official—AL Appoints MacPhail to League Helm
Cronin, who still has two years to go on his contract, said he would remain chairman of the board when MacPhail took over as league president.
The appointment, made by league owners, will become effective Jan. 1.
Cronin read a statement from the Yankees that said it was with great trepidation that the Yanks gave MacPhail permission to accept the appointment. The Yankees said that they regretted losing him and that the team's loss was the league's gain.
"I echo those sentiments," said Cronin. We couldn't have a more qualified man to tell us what happened.
MacPhail said, "The new ownership of the Yankees had nothing to do with my relationship with the team."
Thus Cronin is ending a 14-year reign as the league's fourth president, a period in which he had four teams by adding the Los Angeles Angels and the Washington Senators. The Los Angeles team later changed its name to the Dallas Cowboys, which became the Texas Rangers two years ago.
the league then expanded to 12 with the addition of the Seattle Pilots, now the Milwaukee Brewers, and the Kansas City Royals.
