Unbeaten Teams Facing Tough Tests Saturday NEW YORK (INS) — Five unbeaten major college football teams follow top-ranking Oklahoma, UCLA and Ohio State Into action Saturday and at least two of them may sample the first bitter taste of defeat. Arkansas, ranked fifth in the nation by International Haws Service, places its perfect record of six straight victories on the block at Little Rock against once-beaten Rice. ; The Owls were defeated only by Southern Methodist while bowling over Florida. Cornell, .Wisconsin. Texas and Vanderbilt and are still, very much in the running for the Southwest Conference bunting. The east will steal the spotlight with unbeaten but once-tied Yale giving its vaunted defense the supreme test against once-beaten and sixth-ranked Army, the nation’s offensive leader. Yale, tied two weeks ago by undefeated Colgate, has the country’s most effective defensive line with a yield of only 62 2 game. Army, beaten only by So. Caroline, has reeled off 445.8 yards a game, 331.7 of them on the ground, to lead the nation in total offense and rushing. A crowd of 70,000 will fill the Yale bowl for this one. .Ninth-ranking Miami, Cincinnati and Colgate figure to stay unbeaten along with the Sooners and UCLAns but Ohio State-is keeping its fingers crossed against a perennial toughie — Pittsburgh. Miami plays at Auburn, Cincinnati in a night game at Arizona State and Colgate at borne against Rucknell. Oklahoma, with a slim lead over Nebraska in Big Seven conference ..play,, goes to lowa State for a league tussle. Nebraska meets winless Kansas. UCLA, ranked second by INS, goes for its eighth straight win against visiting Oregon. The Bruins, prohibited from repeating in the Rose Bowl, are tied for the Pacific Coast lead with ranked SouthW _J&Ufjpl4 4-0, which goes to StartOTT Third-ranked Ohio State has nothing to lose this week but its unbeaten standing. The Buckeyes hold a comfortable margin over Minnesota and Michigan while playing outside of the Big Ten. But they have a few injuries and may be growing tired after six straight bruising opponents. The Panthers have ptilled three straight upsets, tumbling Navy and West Virginia from the unbeaten ranks. Fourth-ranked Notre Dame has a soft touch In winless Penn at

American Loop Owners Debate Over As Fate PHILADELPHIA (INS) —the Philadelphia Athletics’ franchise, which has been hobbled like a grounder in a busher’a glove, in fidgeting in the hands *>f Arnold M. Johnson today while American League owners decide whether to call him sate at home at Kansas City. Sine* the machinations of the league, especially In its handling of the financially-distressed Athletic* have been as unpredictable in their direction as a knuckle ball, there are only a few stout-hearted souls around who will say with finality that the A s have been sold. And there are even fewer who will s*y the sale will stlek. 'What I 8 definite is that ailing 91-year-old Connie Mack, wearied by age and the recent maneuvering* accompanying the collapse of the baseball empire he founded, signed away his 302 shares to the Chicago financier Thursday from hit Sickbed for 1604,000. At the same time. Johnson contracted to pay Mack’s feuding sons, Roy and Earle. $450,000 each for their shares, in addition, he is tking over the club's ballpark mortgage and other debts bringing the ante up to $3,375,000 for, the club. The three Macks signed a letter to League President Will Harridge asking approval of the transaction “at-the earliest possible,, date.” Harridge waster no time ana summoned owners to meet Monday to vote on the fate of the club for the third time in less than a month. Hardly had the deal been announced, however, than grumblings began to roll from Washington and Detroit blasting the proposed move to Kansas City, where Johnson hopes to set up business with the A’s. Six of the owners must approve the deal. They approved Johnson -or somebody said they dld-at a meeting last month in which nobody teems to know what went on. But it turned out that the team wasn't his aft«r all and a local combine came up with some $4,000,000 at the last minute to save the homestead. However, the owners Last.week nixed the Philadelphia syndicate’s bW, and the merry-go-round started up again. As a matter of fact, even as Johnson came downstairs form the Mack apartment Thursday. waving his sate* 1 agreement, he breezed past four Philadelphians waiting to see Connie with a rhack for $660,000 to buy his stock. One of the quartet, John P. j Crisconi, who was also a membei j of the original syndicate turned \ down by the league, said: "We're still not licked .yet,” And there was no one around to say he was Wrong. Details of the Johnson pact with the Macks, also calls for him hiring Roy and Earl as salaried executives with -three-year contracts, and finding jobs In baseball for their two sons. Johnson offered Connie the post of honorary board chairman, and said ’Connie accepted. He plans to sell Connie Mack Stadium to Bob Carpenter, owner I of the National League Phillies, for $i,«67.000; But then there's that saving about the best 1 laid plans of mice and men.
