The United Press Sport Writers' Poll
Although the AP would begin the first weekly writers' poll in 1936, and UPI would not follow until 1950, United Press did conduct a season's end poll in 1935. Writers from 112 papers were asked to vote for their Top Ten, and then the choices were to be weighted, with 10 points for first, 9 points for second, etc. The results placed Minnesota first and SMU second

“Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plain,
Where health and plenty cheered the labouring swain,
Where smiling spring its earliest visit paid,
And parting summer’s lingering blooms delayed,
Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease,
Seats of my youth, when every sport could please,
How often have I loitered o’er the green,
Where humble happiness endeared each scene.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
