TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 8. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE ELEVEN Sooners In" For Bowl Bout By UNITED PRESS The streak - riding Oklahoma Sooners are "in" as far as the Orange Bowl Is concerned, but it looks like the Texas Aggies may be "out" of the Cotton Bowl. Reaves Peters, commissioner of the Big Seven conference, con firmed Monday he has told Okla homa to "go ahead and make plans to compete in the Orange Bowl" as the Big Seven represen tative. Maryland, current leader of the Atlantic Coast Conference, looms as the Sooners' probable rival in a meeting of teams now ranked No. 1 and No. 2 nationally. Oklahoma became the first team in the nation to land a major bowl berth when it walloped Missouri on Saturday, 20-0.' " Here's why the Sooners have clinched: The only team that. can beat them out for the Big Seven crown is Nebraska, and the Husk ers are barred from the Orange Bowl because they played in it last year. The only other team that can at least tie Oklahoma is Colo rado, and the Sooners beat them earlier this year which elim inates them. HIGHEST George L. Cross, president of Oklahoma, said he hopes Mary' land will be the Sooners' bowl rival because "naturally we would want to play the highest ranked team possible." ' But the situation was far from sihmy for the Texas Aggies, who are leading the Southwest Confer' rnce race that normally leads to the role of host team In the Cotton Bowl at Dallas, Tex. The Aggies currently are under a two year conference probation period that banned post-season competition, In Bryan, TeX., Paschal Price, sDorts editor of the Bryan Dally Eagle, questioned whether this ban was "legal" under conference by-laws. Price quoted a section of the by-laws which reads "the con ference football champion shall Dlav in the Cotton Bowl game, and permission (of the conference) is not necessary." -AMENDED Price claimed that, since this section never was amended on May 14 when the conference put the Aggies under probation, that the conference has no "legal" pow er to keep the Aggies out of the bowl. But Edwin D. Mouzon of South ern Methodist, president of the South-West Conference, took sharp Issue with Price and insisted that the action barring the Aggies su perseded anything previously in the by-laws. He said that It was his Idea which has not yet been, approved by the conference that, should the Aggies win the title, the runner-up team would get the bowl bid. If there is a tie for second, the team which defeated the other would get it. If the Aggies should tie for the title, the other co-champion would get it. Officials of the Cotton Bowl game, other than league officials, had nothing to say about the dis pute. Vanderbilt Accepts Bid For Outcast LAUREL. Md. Ift Alfred G. Vanderbllt's acceptance of an Invi tation to run his Social Outcast in the Washington D.C. Internation al has swelled the field to 13, larg est yet In the short history of Laurel's turf classic! ' When the Invitation was first proffered a week or two ago, Van derbilt hedged. He said he wasn't sure Social Outcast could run against Traffic Judge, another International starter. He said he wanted to see how Social Outcast performed in the Trenton Handicap at Garden State last Saturday. He said he would accept for Social Outcast only as an alternate. ' Social Outcast romped home an Impressive winner at Garden State. Traffic Judge, meanwhile, was run ning fifth In the Roamer Handicap at Jamaica. Vanderbilt apparently spent Sunday pondering these facts, then accepted without reser vation late yesterday.

Hooper admits he is embar rassed being mentioned in the same paragraph with such touch down titans. Because, after all, most people don't even know how to pronounced "Upsala," a small school at East Orange, N.J. , For your information, it'i "up-soll-lah." "Inexperience is our chief draw back," the tall, handsome Hooper explains. "Just last week, one of our boys had his headguard an backwards. Talk about . Inexperi ence, why one of my assistants told a kid to go soak his head and he did." Hooper's problems are height ened by the fact that he has only 22 players on his squad. He never knows from one game to the next whether a back will have to be converted into a tackle, or a guard Into an end. EIGHT STRAIGHT But Upsala is unbeaten In eight games this season and has rolled up 154 points compared with 52 for the opposition. "I just don't know how we do it," says Hooper, who parlayed a siting accident into a head coach ing job. A former Upsala end, after his graduation in 1951 the now 28-year-old coach went to Vermont for his masters degree. But he broke his leg in a skiing fall and going back to Upsala found himself Installed as head coach. In each of the past two years the team won five and lost four. Now they are in the clouds, with Hooper expecting an other crash this weekend against rugged and building Tufts. "We have to try the unortho dox." Hooper asserted, "and we change quarterbacks so often that we have to make it easy for them to learn how to hand off.' This he does with what he calls a "toreador system." "I told them when they spin and make the handoff to the fullback to draw the ball back in his patn. lust like a bullfighter using his caoe against a bull," Hooper grinned. "The kids got in the habit of yelling 'holay' every time we did it." 80-MINUTEMEN Of necessity. Hooper has about (Iffht So-minute men. These include his backfleld ace. 150-pound Fred Hall. To make them rules - con scious. Hooper frequently enacts the oart of a radio announcer, barking in a staccato voice to the assembled squad: "Folks, he's dowh to'the 10,' the five, and it's an Upsala touch down. But wait a minute, there's a flag down. Upsala was offsides, (or the backs were in motion, etc.) and the touchdown does not count." Upsala use's the "same type oi- fense as Ok" am." 'I read Vinson s book," Hoop er confesses. "It's a good system when you only have live good play ers. No wonder he makes it go with 11." One departed student aimosi broke Hooper's heart this fail. He wore size 16)4 shoes and Hooper was "convinced anybody with feet that big should be a good football player." Hooper ordered a pair of shoes and the student left school. I've got the shoes in my aesx. he says. "If I ever get a player big enough to wear tnem, you uei ter keep your eyes on Upsala." They are not, he coniesseu, ex pecting a bowl bid. Giovanelli Whips Perez NEW YORK (UP) Welter weight Danny Giovanelli of Brook lyn fresh from his second TV vic tory in eigni aays, sa n would be readv to fight loth-ranle- ing Chlco Vejar at St. Nicholas Arena on Nov. 21 "If Chlco will take the match." I.nnltv Giovanelli substituted for Vejar Monday night at 8t. Nick's and again beat Danny Jo Peres of New York. This time it was by a unanimous 10-round i decision over Danny Jo, whom he had stoDDed in the sixth round on March 2. 1953. Velar, of Stamford. Conn., had been slated to fight Peres Monday night but he suffered a split lip In tralnine. Promoter Tex Sullivan was trying today to match Chlco and Oiovanelll for the 21st. Olovanelll had but a week's rest since he outpointed Paolo Mells of Montreal at St. Nick's on Oct, 31. Giovanelli threatened to dupli cate his 1953 technical kayo over Peres Monday night. In the early rounds he inflicted four cuts about Danny Jo's left eye. They bled persistently, but Dr. Alexander Schlff examined them twice and permitted the bout to continue. Giovanelli. scaling 150'4 pounds to Peres' 161, was favored at 9-5, He won the lively bout with long left Jabs and straight rights against his speedier opponent. The vote was 7-J, 7-J, 0-J-I. The United Press agreed, W. i It was Danny Jo's fourth loss In his last five fights, which In cluded a draw. And It waa Olovan elll's second victory since he de serted the middleweight ranks and returned to the welters. "Last nlght'i win was another step toward the welterweight title," h said today. "It's my division." College Gridiron Briefs MOSCOW, Idaho.

McKENDREE DUCKPICKER 5i $00 Sooners Lead AP; Terps 2nd By ED WILKS The Associated Press Oklahoma, a latter day power In college football, took over as the No. 1 team In the Associated Press poll today, much In the same style as the 1950 club brought the Soon ers their one and only national championship. It's the first time Coach Bud Wilkinson's crew has held the top rating this season, although they've been near the top In each of the seven previously weekly polls. Similarly, Oklahoma's 1950 champs didn't make the top In the weekly poll until Nov. 21. On the next to last ballot of the season. Oklahoma's new role adds even more luster to the Orange Bowl clash which undoubtedly will send the Sooners against Maryland the club they ousted from the No. 1 spot. - Maryland, even by extending its winning streak to 13 games by beating Louisiana State 13-0 last weekend, couldn't cope with the shift in favor among the nation's sportswrlters and sportscasters that gave Oklahoma a whomplng 115 first place votes In the heav iest balloting of the season. The Terps, who had 74 first place votes to Oklahoma's M last week, pulled in 89 from the 263 ballots cast In this week's poll. On a point basis, however, the Sooner3 who ran their winning siring to 26 by whipping Missouri 20-0 Saturday had a mucn small er edge over Maryland. On the ba sis of 10 points for first, 9 for sec ond, etc., the Sooners totaled 2,466 to Maryland's 2,415. Oklahoma and Maryland are au bv themselves at the top of the rankings now that Michigan has been shelled from the unbeaten list. The Wolverines, onetime lead- era and third last week, tumbled to seventh after being upset 25-6 by Illinois. Mlchliran State, oeaien oniy uy the Wolverines, replaced Michigan in move from fourth.

Bulldogs Eye Top Grid Year By JOHN A. CAVANAUGH United Press Sports Writer NEW HAVEN, Conn. (UP) The Yale Bulldog, bis spirits soaring after devouring Army, looked fero ciously toward Princeton and Harvard toaay in the hopes oi rounding out the most successful football season in 32 years. A victory at Princeton Saturday would assure the once beaten Yalers their first Ivy League title since 1946. And a win over Harv ard at New Haven the following week would mark the first time in nine years Yale had carried off the mythical "Big Three1 crown.- Moreover, It would make the 1955 Ell team the first to win eight games since the 1923 season, one of Yale s greatest. The triumph, Yale's nrst over Armv since 1939. ended an 11- name domination by the Cadets over Ivy League teams and struck a mlirhtv mestlge blow lor ivy football which evolves Into formal conference status next season. Not since Nov. 17, 1951, when Pennsylvania edged Army, 7-6, had an Ivv eleven defeated the Black Knights. During the Interim Army ran roughshod over the Ivies reaching a climax last year by walloDltur Dartmouth. 60-6, Colum bia, 67-12: Penn, 35-0: and hither to-unbeaten Yale, 48-7. For Ollvar, the victory over Armv ended a string of seven frustrations. 8tartlnir in 1943, Ollv- nr-coached Vlllanova teams lost to the Cadets six straight seasons A seventh defeat by Army was plastered on his 1954 Yale team. "My patience paid off," Olivar smiled today. Tne 39-year-old Ell coach who has raised Yale football hopes to their highest point in years, ad mitted after Saturday's game he didn't think hi forces could beat the Cadets, i "But I felt we had a chance, provided some of the breaks went our way," ne said. Many of them did. But most observers feel that Ollvar's coaching and an inspired and good football team accounted for the upset. Ollvar, who feels this Is the best team he's had hi four - years at Yale, is quietly confident of beat ing Princeton .and Harvard. "Both are strong teams." he said, "and while our record may be comparatively better, we're not going to be deluded into any false sense of superiority and ovcrcon fldence. And besides, records don't mean too much when Yale plays Harvard or Princeton." SPORTS BULLETIN WASHINGTON (Pt The Washington Senators Tuesday traded pitcher Rob Porterfleld, first baseman Mickey Vernon and two other players lor five Ronton Red Sox players.
