Minnesota Is Upset Victim Of Washington By FRED DOWN United Press International Washington and Missouri added the final touch to the holiday bowl madness when they combined to stop the nation's No. 1 team and its No. 1 player. These were the high spots for the 325,383 fans who viewed the four major bowl games in person in addition to the video quarterbacks who spun their TV dials for 6 1/2 hours of top-quality football. Washington struck a mighty blow for West Coast gridiron prestige when it defeated national champion Minnesota, 17-7, before 97,314 in the Rose Bowl while Missouri shackled all-everything Joe Bellino and scored a 21-14 victory over Navy before 71,218 including President-elect John F. Kennedy in the Orange Bowl. Mississippi downed Rice, 14 -6, before 82,851 in the Sugar Bowl and Duke shaded Arkansas, 7-6, before 74,000 in the Cotton in results that enabled Ole Miss to remain unbeaten and the Blue Devils to vindicate themselves for closing their regular season with two defeats. Schloredt Leads Huskies Bob Schloredt, one of the heroes of Washington’s 44-8 rout of Wisconsin in the 1960 Rose Bowl game, engineered the Huskies to their second straight impressive win over a Big Ten rival. Schloredt passed for one touchdown and scored another to zoom Washington into a 17-0 halftime lead. Minnesota enjoyed a heavy statistical edge in the second half but scored only once on an 18yard third-period run by Bill Munsey. Schloredt, who has only 10 per cent vision in one eye, gained 68 yards in five carries for a 12.6 average and was named the game’s outstanding player. Coach Jim Owens indirectly claimed the national championship after the game when he commented: “It was a championship bout and when you win a whampionship match don't you get the title?” Tigers Maul Middies Bellino made a brilliant catch of a 27-yard touchdown pass from Hal Spooner in the fourth period but it was too late for Navy which was pushed all over the Orange Bowl held by Missouri's powerful line. Bellino was held to a net of four yards gained rushing compared to the 108 and 93 yards ground out by Missouri’s Mel West and Donnie Smith. Greg Mather went 95 yards with an intercepted lateral to give Navy a 6-0 lead in the first period but Norm Beal’s 90-yard run with an interception enabled Missouri to go ahead, 7-6, and the Tigers remained in command the rest of the way. Missouri piled up 296 yards rushing compared to the minus eight figure for Navy -- which clearly was in over its head without a life preserver. It was the first bowl victory for Missouri in seven tries and the first time Navy suffered a bowl loss in four appearances. Gibbs Paces Rebels AlI-America quarterback Jake Gibbs scored on runs of eight and three yards in the first and fourth periods to give Ole Miss its victory over stubborn Rice. Rice-out gained Mississippi, 118 yards to 43 in the air but the Rebel defenders intercepted four tosses. Duke, whose prestige was badly hurt by late-season losses to North Carolina and UCLA, marched 73 yards in the fourth period with Don Altman connecting for a payoff pass to Tee Moorman and Art Browning providing the decisive conversion point. Lance Alworth went 49 yards with a punt to

Six Of Major Prep Quintets Still Unbeaten INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)--Part two of Indiana's regular high school basketball season was ready to explode on all fronts today with six major teams still unbeaten and the battle for conference honors beginning in earnest.

Kokomo, Muncie, and Garrett are 10-game winners among the major teams. Indianapohs Attucks, Madison and Wiley are 9-garne winners. Among the small-town elite, Bloomfield and Lawrenceburg are also 10-game winners. Most at the quintets were expected to lose their lofty status between now and the middle of February. Only two of them reached the 4-week state tourney untouched last time --Muncie and Madison -- and neither made it all the way to the trophy room as state champ.

The Jackets, after being pretty soundly thumped by Bluffton the previous week, downed the Tigers in the tourney opener, then saw poor free throw shooting prevent them from taking down the tourney honors from Hartford City in the finale. All Adams county teams will return to action this week in an eight-game, three-night schedule. All were idle over the holidays except the Yellow Jackets. There are three games scheduled tonight, four Friday and one Saturday. Decatur Commodores return to firing tonight, meeting the Bryant Owls at Bryant.

Drake Winner Of Tournament Of Queens City By United Press International Drake, a Missouri Valley Conference doormat last season, returned home to lowa today for the start of its 1960-61 conference season Thursday night with the added prestige of the Queens City Invitational Tournament championship. Drake won the two-day tourney at Buffalo, N.Y., Monday night when Bill Hahn’s desperation field goal with three seconds left to play produced a 79-77 victory over Canisius. The triumph was the 8th in 9 games for the Bulldogs, who had only an 11-14 mark last season. The Miidwesterners trailed by 6 points with 4 minutes left to play but four straight points by Jerry Foster and a field goal by Marvin Torrence tied the score. Drake stalled for one final shot and after an attempt by Jim Guydon missed, Hahn recovered the loose ball and hastily flipped in the winning field goal. This was the last of more than two dozen holiday week college tournaments throughout the country. In the third-place consolation game, Princeton defeated Connecticut, 88-76. In other games. DePaul made it 8 straight victories by beating Western Ontario, 55-50; Kentucky defeated Miami (Ohio), 70-58, with the help of Billy Lickert’s 23 points; Detroit trounced BaldwinWallace, 94-64; Arizona State ran its record to 7-4 by beating Regis, 80-72; and Hardin-Simmons whipped Air Force Academy, 7464, for its 7th win in 8 games.

Report Shakeup In Kansas City Office 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 relived before the Athletics begin spring training, but that he will remain with the dub 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 multipleplayer deal. Many of the Kansas City-New York trades, however, were manufactured by the late Arnold Johnson, who died last year while in Florida to watch the A’s train. End “Farm Club” Adage New A’s owner Charles Finley of Gary, Ind., promised upon purchasing the controlling interest in the club that he intends to put an end to the adage that the Kansas 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 twoyear contact to skipper the Athletics. The new A’s owner declined to comment on other passable personnel changes in the organization. Winner Of $75,000 In Bowling Payoff HOLLYWOOD (UPI)--It sounds easy. You just roll the heavy ball down the lane, knock all 10 of the wooden pins down six times in a row and stroll off with $75,000. That's what veteran Detroit bowling instructor Therm Gibson, 43, did Monday night. The feat, difficult by bowlers under any conditions, was performed with hot television lights glaring at him and a multitude of people across the country watching Milton Berle’s "Jackpot Bowling” show at the Legion Lanes. The show’s cigar sponsor said the $75,000 presented to Gibson was the biggest payoff for one match in bowling history. The jackpot started at $25,000 and built up by $5,000 for each succeeding program. Gibson pulled off the six consecutive strikes trick in a match against Chicago’s Don Ellis and when the last pin went down he went into a Detroit version of the Mexican hat dance. He'll return next week to meet another opponent and try for the $25,000 base prize.

“I think you’re stalling You said you'd go steady with me at the end of the baseball season!”

Buckeyes Near Perfect Score To Top Rating NEW YORK (UPI)--Ohio State, which remained undefeated by winning the Holiday Basketball Festival in New York, missed a perfect score in the United Press International ratings by a single point today for the third time this season. Following the Buckeyes' tournament victories over St. John’s and St. Bonaventure, two strong Eastern teams rated among last week’s first five, 34 of the 35 coaches who comprise the UPI rating board again voted Coach Fred Taylor’s defending national champdons No. 1 in the nation. One coach, however, cast his ballot in favor of runnerup Bradley and pocked Ohio State No. 2. That gave the Buckeyes 349 out of a possible 350 pointe. Until this season, no team ever had scored that high in the weekly UPI ratings. Ohio State now has led the nation five straight weeks. Three Newcomers Bradley, which stretched its winning streak to 10 with a pair of non-tournament triumphs last week, remained in second place for the fifth week in a row. The Braves’ 264 points left them 85 behind Ohio State. North Carolina, Kansas State and Iowa were this week’s newcomers in the top 10 group following holiday tournament championships. North Carolina (7-2) won the Dixie Classic and jumped from 11th to 5th place; Kansas State (9-2) took the Big Eight tournament and moved from 12th to 7th; while lowa (8-1), unranked last week, vaulted into the No. 9 spot following its triumphs in the Los Angeles Classic. St. Bonaventure, beaten 84-82 by Ohio State in the Holiday Festival final, moved up one place to No. 3, while St. John’s, which lost to the Buckeyes by 5 points in the tourney semifinals, dropped one notch to No. 4. Louisville Advances Louisville, with an 11-game win ning streak, advanced from 9th to 6th place; UCLA was 8th, Iowa 9th and Duke remained 10th. Indiana, beaten twice in the Los Angeles Classic, St. Louis and Detroit dropped out of the top 10 group. Detroit, St. Louis and Indiana were the first three teams in the second 10 group in that order. Vanderbilt, Utah and West Virginia’s Sugar Bowl champions were tied for No. 14, followed by Wichita, Kansas and Auburn. There was a 5-team tie for the 20th ranking among Memphis State, Providence, North Carolina State, Southern California, and Iowa State.
