Bud Wilkinson's rib-cracking Booners, 20- victors over Mary, land In the Orange Bowl yester. )av. won't hear the taunt of "weak schedule" for a long time in nnme. As a member of the relatively weak Big Seven, Oklahoma plays a full conference schedule. As a result, the team sometimes does emerge as an unknown quantity. The manner In which the Sooners manhandled Maryland, tightest major defensive outfit in the na tion, before a crowd of 76,561 In Miami simply emphasized that they rated their No. 1 ranking. Two years ago, Maryland had been voted the mythical national First Field Goal Big One For MSU End PASADENA, Calif. XW-8ophO- more end Dave Kaiser hadn't con nected with a field goal for Michl' gan State before, but with Just seven seconds left In the Rose Bowl game yesterday, he boomed one 41 yards to give the Spartans the 17-14 victory over UCLA. The last previous time MSU con trolled the ball, fullback Jerry Planutis had tried a field goal but failed. Many of the 100,609 spec tators thought It was Planutis making another attempt. But Coach Duffy Daugherty gambled on Kaiser, a 203-pounder who needs to wear contact lenses. There was 1 minute and 34 sec onds to play after Planutis missed his attempt. UCLA bad the ball on Its 30. Then came a 15-yard penalty for coaching from the sidelines. Next halfback Ronnie Knox threw a desperation pass and a penalty lor an Ineligible receiver downfleld moved UCLA back to Its 1. Knox punted and Spartan Clar ence Peaks was hit before he could catch the ball. Another 15-yard penalty. MSU, on the 19, sacrificed five yards on a penalty to UCLA In a substitute with the kicking tee. It was Kaiser's third field goal try of the season and the first that con nected. Tne ball was placed down on the 31 and hud to carry an extra 10 yards to the goal posts. The victory was the Big Ten's ninth In 10 games since the pact with the Pacific Coast Conference was Blamed. . UCLA hud struck early Jim Decker Intercepted a pass by MflU quarterback ' Earl Morrall and re turned It to the 18. Four plays later, fullback Bob Davenport smashed over from the 2. In the second quarter, State smashed In from its own 20 to score. Morrall passed 13 yards to halfback Clarence Peaks over the goal line to knot It at 7-7. The third quarter was scoreless Peaks, who had completed only one other pass during the season, threw from his 33 to end John Lewis, who took It on the run on the 30 and eluded Sam Brown for a score early In the fourth quarter. Brown was knocked out on the play and Ronnie Knox, playing for the first time since breaking an ankle bone Nov. 12, took over at tailback. Knox hit for a 47-yard strike to Decker, who escaped to the 7 be fore he was pulled down from be hind by Walt Kowalczyk. Knox smashed to the 2. then to the 1, and Doug Peters threw himself over for the score. The conversion made It 14-14.

Not so expected was Missis sippi's 14-13 decision over Texas Chrlstlar in the Cotton Bowl In Dallas, with a gathering of 75,504 looking on. SECOND LINE In the second-line games, Mis souri Valley and Juniata (Pa.l fcught to a 6-6 tie in the Tangerine Bowl at Orlando, Fla.: Wyoming whipped Texas Tech 21-14 In the 8un Bowl at El Paso, Tex.; and Prairie View 8tate humbled Flsk 69-0 In the Prairie View Bowl at Houston, Tex. Two of Oklahoma's three touch downs ' were scored by second stringers and the Sooners had to come from behind like champions to gain their triumph. Trailing 6-0 In the third period as a result of Ed Vereb's 15-yard Jaunt In the second quarter, the Sooners tore Maryland apart with two scores In the third quarter and one In the fourth. Oklahoma's skinny All America halfback Tommy McDonald notched the first Sooner touchdown on a four-yard dash. Billy Pricer converted and that was all that was needed. But Jay O'Neal went over from the 1 and Carl Dodd Intercepted one of Lynn Belghtol's passes and ran 82 yards for the final score. 'The teams were about even," acknowledged Wilkinson later. 'We got the breaks and tney didn't. We are not big and what we do Is fast. The tension was off when we scored the first time we got the ball in the second half." Maryland Coach Jim latum was lavish In his praise of the Sooners. BEST TEAM Oklahoma Is the best college football team In the country," he said. "They were In better physi cal shape. They handled them selves better. They outhustled us. They had too much speed." But It remained for Uie Terps- All America center Bob Pellegrini to explain the whole thing. They came out of their nuonie so fast, we couldn't adjust our de fenses to meet them," he said. The accurate toe of Dave Kaiser enabled Michigan State to pull the victory out over UCLA and main tain the Big Ten's wnainmy over the Pacific Coast Conlerence in the Rose Bowl. The series count now stands 8-1. With a 14-14 tie seven seconds before the end, Kasler calmly came off the bench to kick a field goal from 31 yards out.

The Spartans broke a 7-7 dead lock early in the fourth quarter on a 67-yard pass play from Clar ence Peaks to John (Big Thunder) Lewis, r Said young Kaiser later: "I didn't have time to think or feel anything at all. But I knew when my foot hit the ball that It was going to be good." ONLY SCORE The only score In the Sugar Bowl came when Georgia Tech took ad vantage of a break. In the first quarter, Wade Mitchell passed from the 32 to Don Ellis, who was on the 2. Pitt delcnder Bobby Oiler tried to block the pass and In the pro cess pushed Ellis. He was charged with Interference. The ball was given to the Engineers on the 2. Two plays loter, Mitchell sneaked over from the 1, then kicked the extra point. Orier later denied pushing Ellis and sntd, the penalty should have been called the other way. "He pushed me from behind," Grlcr said. "That's why I fell for ward." Pitt oach Johnny Mlchelosen said from where he sat the play could have been called either way. Tech Coach Bobby Dodd, who now has won seven bowl games without a defeat, said he couldn't see the piny, but added: "Ellis told me Grlcr shoved him ond I guess that was Uie way It was." Jim Swink, Texas Christian's All America back, played one of his finest games, scoring both his team's touchdowns, but he couldn't fight Eagle Day and Paige Cothren slnglehandedly. Swlnk, who tallied on runs of 1 ond 39 yards, actually kept the Horned Frogs ahead until the last four minutes when Billy Lott hit right end for five yards and the tying score alter Day hod set It up wilh a 25 yord gallop. Cothren kicked the extra point, the margin of victory. He also scored the first Ole Miss touchdown In the second period on a 3-yard plunge and kicked the extra point on that one too.

Tech got two of the biggest breaks In Its illustrious football history yesterday to whip Pitt, a stubborn team with power-laden running and dangerous passing mat oenea its roio as a one or two-touchdown underdog. The first break came when Pitt quarterback Pete Neft fumbled and Tech guard Allen Ecker re covered on tho Pitt 32 In the first quarter. The second came on the next play, when quarterback Wade Mitchell tossed toward end Don Ellis in the Pitt end zone. Officials ruled that Pitt defensive back Bob Grier, the first Negro to play in tne Sugar Bowl, pushed Ellis. They penalized Pitt for pass Interference and placed the ball on the Pitt 1. Mitchell banged over for the touchdown and converted for the winning margin. Grier, sobbing In the Dressing room, told newsmen the penalty "should have been called the other way. He pushed me from behind, that's hy I fell forward." Pictures of the final stages of the "play show Grlcr flat on his stomacn In front of Ellis, who Is in the air reaching over Gncr's body for Uie ball. Game officials declined com ment. Tech Coach Bobby Dodd said, I couldn't see the play at all. Ellis told me Grier pushed liliri. and I guess that was tne way J I was." Pitt Coach John Michelosen said, 'It could have been called citlier way. ' There was equal disagreement among the 80.175 fans. Techs only other threat came In the fourth period on a sustained drive that carried from its 16 to the Pitt 7. At that point Pitt threw Tech for two straight losses before taking over when halfback Ray Dlpasqualc inlorccpied a Trppy Vann pass and returned it eight yards to the 11.

Although the top four teams re mained the same as the' previous week, the busy tournament actlv lty shook up the rankings below No. 4 and brought Iowa State, Southern Methodist and George Washington among the leaders. Dayton and North Carolina state, which like San Francisco are un defeated thus far, followed the Dons In the weekly ratings of the United Press Board of Coaches. North Carolina, beaten by N.C.

The last action for the KU preppers was a two-game series December 28-29 with Jefferson oi Portland, in which they split. BIG ONE Although Tech has been out oU action, Palmberg has been work ing his chargers this past week, In hopes of polishing his attack, and keeping his hoopsters from becoming "rusty." This week's ser ies In Portland Is a big one for Tech, if the Owl cagers are hop ing to better their next-to-last standing of last season. Portland State is again rated as one of the contenders in the Oregon Colleg iate Conference, and two losses to the Vikings by the Owls would make the row all the harder to hoe for OTI. Sharkey Nelson's Portland Stati club, defending champs of the OCC, will be just about the same as last season's, but the added strength of 6-6 transfer Fletcher Frazler and eight returning letter winners give the Viks another cage powerhouse. Included in the list of returning veterans are Paul Poetsch, sharp-shooting playmak- er, and Jack Viskov, outstanding rebounder and one of PSC's lead ing pointmakers. Last year against the Vikings. Oregon Tech dropped four straighl tilts by scores of 78-69, 90-59, 94-47 and 70-47. PROSPECTS The weekend prospects look a little brighter for the Pelicans as they open their 1956 Southern Ore gon Conference slate, but the pic ture is far from being comfort able. Against the Pels, Ray Davis' Cavemen hoopsters are always tough, especially on their home floor. Peterson's Pels are eyeing one of the two state tournament berths alotted to this district, and their opening two games against Grants Pass may be the key weekend. despite the earliness of the sea son. Last year Klamath won three of four from Grants Pass, splitting a two-game outing In Caveman ter ritory. In the final conference standings last year gave the Pels second place behind Medford, while Grants Pass closed In third, and Ashland fourth. - The Pelicans' showing against Jeff last Thursday and- Friday brought mixed emotions to Peter son and his assistant Ray Coley. Both thought the Pels turned In a creditable performance In whipping the Demos 69-64, but the 8C-61 trouncing they took Friday evening offset the Pels good night. Peterson Indicated today that he was plan ning on juggling his starting line up for the Grants Pass series, but wouldn't say what changes he had in mind. k Oi yam K I A handy guide to help you 1 find the Services & Products I V you need!
