Irish Lead 'Top Ten'

Frank Leahy's Notre Dame eleven which escaped with a 14 to 7 last gasp victory over North Carolina Saturday, was in its customary first place spot in the first Associated Press weekly poll yesterday, but not by its usual overwhelming vote.

The South Benders collected 1500 points, with 63 for first place, from 190 sports writers and broadcasters. Trailing with 1298, 1296, and 1290 were Michigan State, Southern Methodist, and Army.

Other members of the top ten were Oklahoma, Kentucky, Texas, Stanford, California, and Washington. Cornell ran sixteenth.
