Missouri Demise Develops Big Scramble In National Collegiate Football Title Race By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A mad scramble for the na tional college football champion ship suddenly developed today out of the demise of Missouri, with more than a half-dozen teams remaining in the running for the coveted title. Last week Missouri had one foot in the throne room door. The Tigers had rampaged through nine opponents and needed only to get past twice-beaten Kansas to take the crown. But Kansas plastered the Ti gers 23-7. So Mizzou finished with a 9-1 record. So did Washington. Iowa showed 8-1 as did Minnesota, Navy and Auburn. Mississippi, the only one of the group that has not been defeated has an 8-0-1 record with one game to go. So nothing really can be settled until after the Mississippi-Missis- sippi State game Saturday. If the Eebs win, they will have a good Oregon In Line For Bids By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The University of Oregon, which closed its regular season with a 44-14 tie with Oregon State Satur day, is in the running for two bowl games. One is the Liberty Bowl at Philadelphia Dec. 17. The other is the Cotton Bowl at Dallas Jan. 1. Penn State (6-3) was named Sunday as the host team for the Liberty Bowl. Five other teams were named as possible opponents. Besides Oregon (7-2-1) they are Rice (7-2), Baylor (6-3), Texas (6-3) and Florida (7-2). Arkansas won the host team nod for the Cotton Bowl and five teams were named as possible opponents Oregon, Florida, Ala bama (7-1-1) Tennessee (5-2-2) and Navy (9 0). Several games coming up will have a bearing on this. Rice and Baylor are scheduled to meet this week. There also will be Florida vs. Miami of Florida, Texas vs. Texas A & M and Army vs. Navy. Oregon and Oregon State bat tled on even terms on a slippery field at Corvallis Saturday. As usual, spirits ran high and the tackling was fierce as defensive play set up three of the four touch downs. Slate managed the first score, jarring the ball loose from Ore gon fullback Duane Cargill on the Oregon 24. In seven plays OSC drove to a touchdown, which half back Don Kasso scored on a two yard plunge. Kasso then started wide, but cut back over guard for a two-point conversion that gave lfis team an 8-0 lead early in the second quarter. Center Joe Clescerl started Ore gon on a comeback at once by intercepting a Terry Baker pass on the State 41 and rumbling down to the State 20. Oregon banged into the line six times, the final plunge putting quarterback Dave Grosz over from the 1. Oregon also tried for a two-pointer but Grosz' pass to halfback Cleveland Jones was too high. It stayed 8-6 until the fourth quarter when safety Grimm Ma ton of OSC intercepted a Grosz pass on the Oregon 40 and dashed down to the Oregon 24. Four plays later the elusive Kasso cut back over tackle on a seven-yard touch down run. The kick for the extra point was wide. Back came Oregon, this time on a 57-yard march, climaxed by a nine-yard scoring pass from Jones to end Paul Bauge. With the score 14-12 Oregon called a double reverse which completely fooled the Staters, little Jones scooting into the end zone un touched for a two-point conver sion. State had time to develop one more threat, marching 72 yards to the Oregon 8. With only 19 feconds remaining Tim Ankerson was called on for a field goal aitempt mere, Dut tne kick sailed severing of athletic ties this year wide.

The signing of Vernon as field manager and Doherty as general manager gave American League expansion plans a boost. But the other half of the double play a move into Los Angeles is slill to be completed. Club owners and league offic ials meet in New Y'ork Tuesday to award the Los Angeles franchise. They put off action last week af ter storm signals were raised by Bevo, Card Pact Drawn PORTLAND (AP) Portland gained its long-sought tie-up with a major league baseball team Sunday, becoming a farm club of the St. Louis Cardinals. President Arch Kingsley of the Portland Beavers said it was a limited working agreement, but that Portland was assured of at least eight players of triple A class. The Cardinals also will hire the manager and pay salaries above $900 a month for the players they farm out, Kingsley said. Portland is to train with the nine other Cardinal farm teams at Homestead, Fla. Portland had been unable to reach a working agreement with a major league team until it re cently gave up its damage suit against the major leagues. In that suit the Beavers accused the ma jor leagues of a monopoly and sought damages because of tele vision broadcast in this area. The announcement of the tie-un came just in advance of the nual stockholders' meeting, sched uled tonight. Also announced was the resigna tion of Clyde Perkins as execu tive vice president. Perkins said he differed in policy matters from other directors. C of I. ISC End Football Rivalry CALDWELL.

Big Ten clubs are not permitted to play in I any postseason game other than ; the Rose Bowl. There are all sorts of "its" to the list. The main one, perhaps, is that Navy won't get the Rose Bowl invitation unless it beats j Army. If Army should lick the Middies, Navy will pass season play. Pst": The Orange Bowl committee also wants Navy and has made Syracuse its No. 2 choice. But it is doubtful that Syracuse would ning up nine in a row play anywhere but in New Y'ork's turned the trick, 6-0. nn 1L Del Webb, co-owner of the New York Yankees, is in Los Angclesicut in his leg when he was tackled to talk with O'Malley. in the first half.

Quesada, the federal aviation administrator, announced Vernon had received a two-year contract as field manager and Doherty, president of the American Asso ciation, had signed for the same period as general manager. Doherty and Vernon got on the job at once. Their first task comes up quickly. The selection of players from a pool created by offerings of established Amer ican League clubs is scheduled for Friday, followed next week by the draft of minor, leaguers. Doherty Jias been president of the American Association since 1954 and was general manager of the Louisville club for five years.

There were no goats as Washington's Husk ies beat Washington State 8-7 to end the season with a 9-1 record. No goals: just heroes. One of the heroes was Don Mc Kcta, the Washington halfback 'who suffered an eight-stitch cleat record crowd for Spokane's Me morial Stadium cheered and wept by turns, perspiring despite the 40- degree weather and went home convinced they had seen every-! thing a football game can offer They saw: The three-touchdown underdog Cougars battle the nation's fifth ranked team on even terms down to the final gun, missing a game- winning field goal try from Ihe 35-yard line in the last 15 seconds. A goal line stand by each team that was nigh unbelievable. Two records set by the shy Cou gar sophomore end, Hugh Camp bell. He caught six passes to run his season total to 66, and nobody in the history of major college football has caught so many in a season. His 81 yards boosted his season's total to 882, topping the national record set in 1951 by an other Stater, Ed Barker. Mel Melin tried the first of 2 fill ile field goal attempts, this one from the 12-yard line, and it was again Washington's turn to threat en. The Huskies marched 79 yards 2 feet, 5 inches from their own 20. There was one down left to make those last seven inches, and quar terback Bob Hivncr sent Jackson rocketing into the line. The Cougar 'forward wall had leaked like a sieve all season and not one person in the stands would bet that it would stop Jackson, but it did. Sale Priced! TOWN - COME INI - WILLY!
