Oklahoma Is Big Favorite Over Kansas By UNITED PRESS Look beyond the OklahomaKansas game, which la a sure bet to result in a modem major collage football winning record for the Sooners, and there are several important clashes around the country Saturday that rriay go a long way towards deciding conference championships. The mighty ''Sooners, ranked first by the United Press board of coaches for the first four weeks of the ctyrent season, are picked by a whopping five touchdown! over Kansas and barring perhaps the greatest upset in the annals of college football, should emerge late Saturday afternoon with their 34th straight victory. ’ Oklahoma currently is tied with Pittsburgh for the consecutive victory record of 33. Pitt set its mark between 1914 and 1919. The Bud Wilkinson coached Sooners, the nation's most successful exponents of the split-T, have yet to be scored upon this fall and have come up with a bruising defense that just might be able to keep the slate clean the rest of the season. However, there are four important games in as many sections of the country to keep fan interest up. Fifth-ranked Texas* Chrisitan, driving toward the Southwest Conference title, meets Texas A&M at College Station, Tex., and is favored by eight points in a IMrgue where form seldom holds up. Yale, conceded the Ivy League title before the season began, tries to keep its perfect record intact against Cornell. Thus far, the Elis have managed to sneak past three opponents, but Cornell may prove a stumbling block. Yale is picked by 14 points. In the South, the rolling Georgia Tech Engineers, ranked third nationally, face a tough opponent in Auburn and can't afford to let up. because Mississippi, ranked eighth' and tied for the Southeastern QMfangp* lead low Jackets, meA Wwlß !*«)' in the conference .and'Vandefbill (2-1) plays Florida (14). • Southern California and Washington, the Pacific Coast conference’s top two teams, meet at Los Angeles in the best game on the West Coast. Southern California is picked by 13, but this

In the biggest non-conference game of the day, Michigan State, ranked second, takes on battered, sophomore - laden Notre Dgme at South Bend, Ind.

Directors Os Senators Plan Session Today WASHINGTON (UP)4 — The club’s board of directors will decide today whether or not the Washington Senators will remain in this city. Calvin Griffith, president of the Senators, will place before the board ‘‘firm, and very, very attractive offers” to transfer the franchise to Los Angeles, San Francisdo or LousyUle. Along with those offers, Griffith also will present a proposal submitted by the Washington Board of Trade "for keeping the team here.” Griffith insists he is “open minded” on the entire issue but he has given evidence he favors a move to the West Coast. He has the necessary votes among the fiveman board of directors to swing the decision his way. t , The Senators have continued to show a financial profit, albeit a comparatively modest one, even though they have finished in the second division for the past 10 years. Should the board vote to transfer the Senators’ franchise, the action would have to be approved by six of the eight American League club owners before Oct. 31. Griffith admitted it would be a “touch-and-go” proposition to get the six league votes by Oct. 31 if it is decided to move. H. Gabriel Murphy, the club treasurer and the largest individual stockholder with 40 per cent, is the only member of the Senators’ board of directors who has come right out and said he is against any franchise transfer. Murphy has threatened he will sue in every court in the land to block any move Griffith insisted he is not in the least concerned with the threat. ’ “

Dodgers Beaten In First Japan Start TOKYO (UP) — The Yomluri Giants made bums of the Brodk lyn Dodgers in their Japan debut today. Sixteen Dodgers struck out, three straight in the ninth inning, as they lost 5-4 in the opening* of a 20-game exhibition tour to the amazement of 20,000 fans at Tokyo’s Korakuen Stadium. It was a battle of second bests— Japan’s losing team in the just completed Japan series and the National League champions. The Japanese outhit the powerful Dodgers even in home runs, 4-2. Duke Snider struck out three times to pace the Dodgers. He duplicated the three consecutive strikeouts by Mickey Mantle in the second game of the New York Yam kees' series here last year. It was a bad day for Snider. When he did get on base with a walk, first up in the eighth, he was trapbed off the bag. He really was safe at second on the rundown when the Giants second baseman dropped the peg from first. But Snider thought he was out. kept running and was tagged,at third. The Brooks were sparkling in the infield with three snappy double plays by Jackie Robinson. Pee Wee Reese, Jim Gilliam and Gil Hodges. But they came to life at bat only in the fourth inning when homers by Robinson and Hodges in, succession cleared the leftfield wall.

Today's Sport Parade ■y JACK CUDDY ’ (United Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK (UP) —The football season so far has been just about as formful as the cuties in a Broadway chorus line, j ' And like the girlie dancers it is rare when any of the teams get out of step. • There hasn't been an old-taah-ioned shocker of an upset so far. Here and there underdogs win, to be sure, but the bookies are claiming that most of their upsets are just in the point spreads —a team will come close to beating a team that was rated a big. margin occasionally and that's about the size of it. What’s the cause for this close adherence to form? Well, one odds-mgker who does a big vol ume of football business insists that it is because teams are being scouted more closely than ever before. The hound dogs who are keeping a close watch are the representatives of the men who make the football odds and who conduct a multi-million dollar business each season in the football parlay cards distributed practically everywhere. They have followers keeping tab on every team, watching for injuries, for staleness after a big game, for a club that is getting “up” for a special opponent. And when the parlay cards and the point spreads are posted each week, that represents an accurate line on the entire operation, perhaps more accurate than ever before obtainable. In the past many upsets simply were due to wrong information, or perhaps no information at all. But there are other reasons, too. One of the big ones is the new “high fashion” of ball-control in the college ranks. There is a strong trend toward possession and a theory that the other team can’t score as long as you have the ball. It makes for long series of “punch-punch-punch” plays with occasionally a breakaway runner getting through for a long gain or a touchdown. When «a favored team gets the ball and hangs on to it, the qhances for the other team scoring an upset are minimized. And, of course, this also could be the week when form is smashed to pieces on the college gridirons, too Because the upsets .certainly are behind schedule.
