Oklahoma Is Shooting For National Mark By United Pres* Oklahoma’s national champion Sooners put a new major college record in the football books today with their 82nd straight victory, and folks are wondering if anyone will even score against them as they shoot for Notre Dame’s record of 39 straight unbeaten games. By crushing Kansas State. 66-0. on Saturday for l_ts second win of this campaign, Oklahoma ran its total for the year to 102 points scored against none for their rivals. The mark of 32 straight wins eclipses the 31 straight Oklahoma itself posted from 1948 through 1950. If the Sooners win or do no worse than tie in their remaining eight games of this campaign, they’ll top the major college mark for consecutive games without a Joss set by Notre Dame from 1946 through 1950. Clendon Thomas was the pacemaker for Oklahoma in its easy romp over Kansas State, scoring three touchdowns on runs during the first 20 minutes of play. But seven other Sooner backs had a hand in the scoring as Oklahoma posted its 58th straight Big Seven Conference win. With Oklahoma calling the tune, it was another football weekend that stuck pretty close to the form sheet. About the biggest surprises were Pennsylvania's 14-7 win over Dartmouth, the Quakers first triumph since 1953; and California's 14-0 decision over Pittsburgh. Michigan State, the nation's No. 2 team, iron Saturday s “big game” by 9-0 over fourth-ranked Michigan, but were "out-statisticed” and needed two breaks to do it. Both were supplied by John Herrnstein. Michigan’s brilliant 18 year old soph, who had his only pass intercepted to set up the State TD and fumbled to set up a~?ield goal. Michigan and Pittsburgh, ranked No. 7 nationally, were the only topranked teams to tumble. Os the others who saw action. Ohio State (No. 5) followed Jim Roseboro's three touchdowns to a 32-20 win over Stanford; Texas Christian (No. 6)

Yankees Pull Up Even In , (A ' ji’> World Series NEW YORK (UP) — The New York Yankees sent erratic Don Larsen out to give them a 3-2 lead in the World Series today while the Brooklyn Dodgers asked 39-year-old Sal Maglie to reach back into the' past for one more great clutch game. Back even again after Sunday's 6-2 victory, the Yankees were favored at 6% to 5 "man-to-man” odds to win the fifth game of the Series and at 7ft to 5 to win it all. Another crowd of 70,090 was expected at massive Yankee Stadium today, with the Series then shifting back to Ebbets Field for the sixth and seventh games. That “Yankee Stadium jinx” was very much in evidence Sunday when Tom Sturdivant sweated it out for nine innings to even the series. The Dodgers never looked worse as they failed to take advantage of the fact that Sturdivant allowed the first hitter to reach base in seven of the nine innings and obviously was struggling all the way. Carl Erskine fell behind, 1-0, in the first inning when Collins hit a double anad Yogi Berra singled smd yielded two more runs in the fourth when Alston made the first of his controversial decisions. Mickey Mantle had walked to open the inning and stole second base as Yogi Berra struck out. With the score tied at 1-1, Alston ordered Enos Slaughter purposely walked and Billy Martin promptly upset the strategy by drilling a clean single to left center, delivering Mantle and sending Slaughter to third from where he scored off Gil McDougald’s sacrifice fly. In the bottom of the fifth, Alston also guessed wrong when he sent slow-footed pinch - hitter Al Walker up to bat for Erskine after Carl Furillo was safe on Andy Carey’s Terror and Roy Campanella hit a single to start the frame. Alston admitted he was “hunching for the long ball’ but he guessed wrong as Walker hit into a double play. Mantle homered in the sixth, 430 feet into the right center field bleachers and Hank Bauer wallop-, ed a two-run homer in the seventh to make it 6-1 as the Dodgers made their last bid in the ninth. Jackie Robinson's double, two walks and’CampaMlla’s pop-fly single produced one run but Sturdivant fanned pinch - hitter Ransom Jackson and retired Gilliam on a fly to Mantle to end it.
