moths who finished one twp tn the 1955 national The Sooners. national champions. boast a 29-game winning streak, including a 7-to-0 victory over Maryland in this same classic two years ago. The Terrapins own a 15-game winning streak and to say Jim Tatum is eager to avenge the loss to his old assistant and replacement, Bud Wilkinson, is an understatement indeed. Nevertheless, I think the Sooners have too much again this year and will triumph, 28 to 20. This, incidentally, should be Tatum's last assignment with the 'Terps. His assistant, Warren GH;se. takes over the head coachat South Carolina, Rex Enrigith moves up to athletic director orsSouth Carolina and Tatum may mheye in as head coach at North ( At Pasadenakl pick Michigan State to beat UC%A. 21 to 14. The Bruins have tailback Ronnie Knox back but State qusmferback Earl Morrall is th the finest shape of his career and the Spartans’ speed should finish tilting the scales. Another exciting gamb, pits Pittsburgh against Georgia in the Sugar Bowl at New OrlMUs. Tech has its usual fine, collection of high stepping backs and speedy linemen and* should ramble over the eastern champions. 21 to 14. In the Cotton Bowl at Dallas, Texas Christian locks frogged horns with Mississippi, the team that was shut out by Navy in last yearns Sugar Bowl game. Things shouldn’t be much better for the Rebels and with Jim Swink leading the way, TCU should romp, 28 to 14. The Gator Bowl at Jacksonville, Fla., brings together Auburn and Vanderbilt. Auburn should win by a toe. 14 to 12. —— Martinez Knocks Out Peter Mueller MILWAUKEE (INS) — Vince Martinez strengthened his rating as the probable leading contender (or the middleweight crown when he scored a second round knockout over Peter Mueller of Cologne, Germany.

State Police Plan Traffic Crackdown Take Drunkometers For Roadside Use (INS) —lndiana state police will take drunkometers into the field for the first time to keep Indiana from repeating its" record of supplying the nation with the first traffic death in the new year. The office of traffic safety said when Donald L. Watkin. 23, of Lafayette, was killed three miles east of his home on Ind. 38 early last New Year’s Day, the state, and probably _the nation, had its first traffic death of 1955. Officials said this need not hap-pen-that the first traffic death for 1956 in Indiana need never occur. State police SupL Frank Jessup said he will do all he can to prevent that first traffic death. He hopes the first roadside use of the drunkpineter will help guard against the first death. ” Jessup said: “The test will protect the innocent as well as help convict ■ the drunk drivers. The odor of a beer or a cocktail can be misleading to troopers but not to a drunkometer.” This roving laboratory will test drivers only in Marion county this time while wolfpack patrols will roam Indiana highways to keep the road clear of accidents.

Will Investigate . Fund For Republic House Committee To Conduct Probe WASHINGTON (INS) — The house Un-American activities committee is expected to call on Robert Hutchins, president of the Fund tor the Republic, for estimony during its forthcoming probe of the organisation. Committee chairman Francis E. Walter (D-Pa.) said the investigation will be limited to finding out why the fund—sponsored by the Ford Foundation — described the communists as a “political party" in its 1954, report. The congressman said: "This is very definitely the Communist party line. I think it's the obligation of the committee to find out how that deliberate effort at deception by the Communist party got into the report of the Fund for the Republic." He added: "We ought to try to undo the damage done by that statement.” The committee chairman said staff workers have been working on the matter for several weeks. He added that public hearings, at which Hutchins would testify, probably will follow- the committee’s windup of an investigation of red infiltration of the national labor relations board. Hutchins, former “boy wonder” president of the University of Chicago, has defended the report and said he would .welcome another congressional investigation into the fund's activities. A special committee on tax-exempt foundations studied the organization in 1954. The Ford Foundation set up the fund in 1953 with a grant of 15 million dollars to review civil rights in the United States. The fund immediately ran into congressional wrath by announcing it would Investigate the effect of committee investigations on civil rights. Walter said that throughout the years of its existence, the unA'merican activities committee has run into attempts to make the public believe the Communist party is merely a political party. He said he considers it “inconceivable that people at the head of an organization doing the work of the fund’s size would be .so naive as to believe the party 4s ft political party in the usual sense of the word." Walter added that it would be "vrfry dangerous if a large segment of the American people” should ever believe this. Asked if he thought this could ever come about, he replied: “If people in responsible positions keep repeating it, I’m sure people will be led to believe it.”

Shrine Game May Be Aerial Battle SAN FRANCISCO (INS) — The East-West Shrine football game in San Francisco Saturday threatens to turn Into an aerial duel despite the presence of some o( the most dangerous runners ever to play in the annual contest. — Coaches Woody Hayes of the East and' Jess Hill of the West have indicated a decided preference for passing in the All-Star gartie, even though they could expect to gain plenty of yardage on the ground with backs like Howard (Hopalong) Cassady Ohio State (East) and Henry (Earthquake) Moore of Arkansas (West). What makes their leanings toward a passing attack even more strange on the surface is the fact that both favored a rock ’em, sock ’em approach during the regular season. Hayes' Ohio State team was not renowned as a passing outfit in grinding out its second straight Big Ten title. Hill’s Southern California squad displayed a similar preference for the ground, although quarterback Jim Contratto was rated a good passer. But in All-Star games it’s different., Hayes candidly explains that he thinks a passing game works better in such a contest because it's easier to teach than a

Lil Leaner _ Z I4TMERE A , MOTHER IN THE; *3 HOUSE coordinated running attack. He says that passers and receivers can work together well after only a few drills, but there is not enough time to teach the separate All-Stars to work with real precision In clearing a path for a runner. The records seem to bear Hayes out. Most of the recent East-West games have been won on passing, and the squad with the leading passer usually is favored. Neither squad has a quarterback considered a great passer this year, but both teams have two capable tossers — and any one of the four might have a hot day. For the West, it’s Contratto and John Roach of Sonthern Metijodist. The East quarterbacks are Jerry Reichow of lowa and Em Lindbeck of Illinois. Contratto will start for the West and Reichow is expected to get the call, for the Easterners.
