Missouri's backs acted mad at the world in . general. They smashed, drove and hammered for 296 yards rushing and it was a powerful bit of pulverzing. Mel West, their workhorse back, piled up 108 yards all by himsell. Navy jumped , into the lead when Greg Mather picked off an attempted lateral on the Navy five and rambled 95 yards to score. Norm Bcal evened it up shortly afterwards by working the same interception bit for a 90- yard Missouri waltz. Donnie Smith and Ron Taylor punched over for two more Mis souri scores Bill Tobm booting all three points. And that wrapped it up despite a late Navy touchdown. Bcllino pulled this off with an unbelievable burst of speed to lake a 27-yard touch' down pass from Hal Spooner. The Navy quarterback then whipped a two-point conversion pass to Jim Luper.

L ' Athletics Shakeup Brewing KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) - A shakeup is brewing in the front office of the Kansas City .Athletics and Parke Carroll is expected to be relieved as general manager. United Press International learned today from a reliable source that; Carroll will be re lieved before the Athletics begin spring training, but that he will remain with the club as vice president. He has been serving in the dual capacity of vice president and general manager. Fans Critical Of Carroll Carroll, a onetime Kansas City sports writer, has been widely criticized by Athletics fans for some of the recent trades with the New York Yankees. He was blamed for the trade which sent home run king Bob Cerv to the Yankees for injury-plagued third baseman Andy Carey, and also was accused of peddling Roger Maris to New York in a multiple player deal. ' Many of the Kansas City-New York trades, however, were man ufactured by the late Arnold John son, who died last year while in Florida to watch the A's train. End "Farm Club" Adage New A's owner Charles Finlcy of Gary, Ind., promised upon pur- chasing the controlling interest In the club that he intends to put an end to the adage that the Kan sas City team is a Yankee farm club. And, although he admits he intends to retain Carroll "because of his vast baseball knowledge," he did not promise to keep him as general manager and vice president. Finley reportedly is pleased to have Joe Gordon as manager. The one-time Cleveland and Detroit manager recently signed a two year contract to skipper the Ath letics. The new A's owner declined to comment on other possible per sonnel changes in the organization. NEW ORLEANS (API-Mathematicians will tell you there's no difference between one and one.
