JIM CROW Sports Editor Nations Top Five Grid Teams Roar To Wins, Navy Dropped By ED CORRIGAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The top five college football teams in the nation roared to ex pected victories Saturday, but Navy, No. 6. fell and thereby threw the scramble for Eastern supremacy into a jigsaw puzzle that might not work itself out until the waning days of the season. Oklahoma, the No. 1 muscle out fit of the country won its 42nd straight game, crushing Iowa State, 40-14, in a Big Eight game. The only factor that led to any doubt as to the final outcome was an outbreak of the flu among the Oklahoma players. No fewer than 15 have been stricken over the past two weeks. and the Sooners were wobbly. But their depth was too much for Iowa State. Still, it marked a moral victory for the losers, who had net been able to score on Oklaho ma since 1951. Michigan State. No. 2 behind Oklahoma, topped weak Califor nia, 19-0 in the NCAA nationally .televised game. Minnesota, third team in this week's Associated ; Press poll, had a tough time of it, but got past Purdue, 21-17 with Dick Larson scoring twice and passing lor anotner loucnaown. Fourth-ranked Duke, looking more and more like the logical Atlantic Coast Conference cham pion, trampled Maryland, 14-0, for its third straight league triumph. Texas A&M, No. 5. raced past i Missouri, 28-0, for the Aggies' 13th (victory in a row. But Navy, No. 6, stubbed its toe, 'and therein lies the complications. North Carolina handed the Mid dies a 13-7 beating. Navy had ! high hopes of finishing the season las the mythical Eastern cham pion. Now things don't look so cer tain and the title may not be de cided until the Army-Navy game ion Nov. 30. The Cadets polished off Penn State, another pretender to the crown. 27-13. and projected i themselves squarely into the fight for Eastern honors. Army also Buckeyes Blast Washington In Second Half For Victory SEATTLE, Oct. 6 i.T) A weav ing 81-yard punt return by Dom Sutherin cracked a 7-7 deadlock early in the second half Saturday and opened the touchdown door for Ohio State's 35-7 intersectional football victory over Washington. Washington had tallied first, driving 87 yards in 17 plays in the second period to give hopes to the crowd of 37.500 for a Wash ington victory. The burly Buck eyes, hampered by penalties, bounced back to tie it up at 7-7 before the half was over. The chance came when Ohio end James Huston pounced on a Wash ington fumble at the host team's seven. The Buckeyes tallied in three plays and went out for re cess sharing a 7-7 tie. The second half was just a min ute and 50 seconds old when Suth erin pulled off his decisive gallop. He caught the punt on his own 19,! faked a handoff to Dick Le Beau, and took off on his twist ing canter through Washington's badly-fooled detenders. Inside of six minutes the Buck eyes had their third counter, this Rice 34 Stanford 7 HOUSTON, Tex..

Title Bout Is Denied BOSTON (UP) The Oct. 29 bout scheduled between Tony De Marco of Boston and Virgil Akins of St. Louis Saturday was denied official sanction as a welterweight title match. The Sharkey Athletic Assn. an nounced the bout Friday, billing it as a Massachusetts Boxing Com mission and National Boxing Assn. approved title match.

I NBA President Gillis Jackson said the NBA intended to fill the! welterweight crown with the win ner of a tourney between the top- four ranked contenders in the j nation.

He said that the boys just did not play ball and that during the coming week there will be at least five offensive changes in the Pel lineup. Knudsen said that all but one of the Millers long scoring jaunts should not have gone all tne way. He said that the team had prac ticed all week and knew what to expect and that on every long run the Pelican defense made plen ty of mistakes and did not show the hard tackling and hustle they had displayed in their previous games. The Pelican offense could not get rolling in the first half, picking up only one first down and gain ing only 8 yards net In the first half. The first KU scoring opportun ity came early after the opening kickoff, when they recovered a Miller fumble on the Springfield 27-yard line, but drive was short lived when Spnngtield Intercepted an Ankcny pass on their own 24, which set up the Millers first score, Fullback Dean CnmpbeU scooted around his own right end up to the 36, but on the next play Spring field was offside, moving the ball back to their own 31-yard line. Halfback Bob Willis took a hand- off from quarterback Mike CheU wood, whose beautiful bait nan dling sucked the entire KU team over to the right side, and went over left tackle, got behind the Pelican defense, then cut back to the west sideline picking up his blockers and went 69 yards for the score, with two and a half minutes gone in the first quarter. Willis' try from placement was not good. In the final minutes of the first quarter, halfback Jerry II a u g e n took Dick Humphrey's punt on the Miller 44-yard line, stopped in his tracks, jumped up and down a couple of times, throwing the Pel defenders off balance, then cut to the east sideline picking :ip block- phrey took the kick on his own 12-yarrt line and carried back to the 20. On the first play from ' scrimmage quarterback Tom Ank-' cny was rushed hard by the Mil ler defensive wall and fumbled, with Springfield recovering on the 17-yard line. On Spnngtield s first play from scrimmage Jerry Haugen scam- pered around his own left end for . the score. Willis' pass to end Wal- ly Knecht for the extra point was incomplete. , During the first half the Pell- cans were able to possess the ball on offense six times, three times in the first quarter and three in the second quarter. The Pels were able to throttle . the scoring attempts of the Mil lers in the third quarter but at the same time they could not get 1 rolling offensively. ; In the opening of the fourth quar ter halfback Rick Herman took '. Humphrey's punt on his own 36 yard line, returning to the 42. Af ter moving the ball to the Kiam-. ath 45-yard line in four plays, quarterback Jim Reynolds spotted Herman in the open on the 20, . threw a perfect strike and Her man went over standing up.
