Nur Vnrb TW 1 A IOi Lnnff Island TTniveraltv'a hnsker.. ball "Frank Merriwells" put on terrific closing drive through Ihn wpnnii hnlf nnH a fivA-min. ute overtime session to run their undefeated string to 40 straight fumy tnnlffht with a SR tn R.I victory over Oregon before 17,- id nowiing fans in Madison Square Garden. Coming from behind a 14 noint deficit in the last 17 min- ntes of regulation 1 time, the Blackbirds tied the score at 50 all on Bill King's close-up shot with ZO seconds to play. Then, with the Webfoots In front 55-54 on flharrj-ahnntinff hv Arphlo Marshik and Vic Townsend in the overtime, King, muscular negro veteran of the Blackbird courtsiers, cucKed again on a pivot shot with only 40 seconds to go ana that was the ball game. In the first same nf thfl nnn. Ing Garden doubleheader of the season, UKianoma A. and M.s big Cowboys whipped City Col lege of New York 36-24 In a battle of defensive skill. The nightcap was anything but that, however, as Long Isl and, unbeaten since early in 1938 In regular season,. tourna ment and exhibition play, went after its sixth win of this sea son, while Oregon, national col legiate champions of last cam paign, tried to run Its current string to six In a row. There was little, if any, de fensive ability on either club throughout the first half. Both teams shot from all angles, with left hand, right, or both, and both, put on a hot display of hnrpshooting. With Ted. Sar polm leading the way with 13 points, the Oregon outfit piled up a 29-19 lead by half time. But Just before the half ended, Sarpola bowed out on four personal fouls. Evert Mc Neely followed him to the aide lines on personals early in the . second half, and, thus crippled, the Webfoots were no mntxh fn Tne reserve strength and the ter rific pressure put on by the Blackbirds. Simon Lobello, lanky guard, was the hero in the early part of the second half drive, scoring nine points in 12 minutes, which gave him high scoring honors for the night with 18 points. King accounted for ten points through the second half and the five minute overtime.

JS3 FOR MIAMI LEAD Miami Fla TVp Iff Byron Nelson, steadying after an almost disastrous start, rolled out today his third straight sub-par round, a 68, for a 205 that gave him the undis puted 54 hole lead in the $10, 000 Miami open golf tourna ment. Nelson, national open cham- ninn who Ik firinc for a clear- cut right to the year's profes sional supremacy, Dogeyeo tne first three holes but came breez ing in with a four under nar 31 on the second nine.

Also in daneeroUR contending position at 207 were Ralph Gul- dani, two-time national open ruler who scored- a 69, and Gene Kunes, the Philadelphia dark horse whose 70 dropped him twn strokes off the nar-e Kunes had shared the 36 hnle lead with Nelson at 17. Snead became the center nf a controversy when a snectatnr claimed Sara s ball moved as he was addressing it on the ninth hole. Snead said he hadn't seen It move but offered to take a pen alty stroke although neither of his playing partners, McSpaden and Joe Turnesa of Rockville Center, N. Y., had noticed any- tmng amiss.

Watts said needles could be kept from falling by setting the tree in a tub of water or moist sand. Another method, necessitating only a slight outlay for chem icals and effective on all ever greens except hemlocks, calls for five grams of citric acid and six grams of malic acid or pectin in three quarts of water, used in a one-gallon container in which the tree is set. Later, 15 grams of calcium carbonate should be added to the solu tion and more water added as the tree absorbs the mixture. STATE FAIR WILL Salem. Dec. 16.
