Oklahoma New AP Leader; Buckeyes Fall to Eighth NEW YORK (AP)—The University of Oklahoma, knocking on the front door in the weekly Associated Press football poll all season, finally got into the living room today as the nation's No. 1 team. Now the question is: Can the rampaging Sooners of Coach Bud Wilkinson retain that lofty perch until the end of this unpredictable season, and become the first member of the Big Seven conference to cop this mythical football crown? Oklahoma was voted the No. 2 team last year when Notre Dame ended the season as the No. 1 club. Unlike recent years, when a mighty Notre Dame, Michigan or Army team led the poll week after week through the long fall, Oklahoma is the fifth outfit to hold the No. 1 spot this season. First Time First Okahoma, which blasted Missouri last week 41-7, to run its unbeaten string to 29 straight, replaced Ohio State. The Buckeyes, who lost to Illinois, fell from first to eighth place. In seven previous polls this fall, Oklahoma was voted third four times as the nation's sportswriters and sportscasters put the finger on other teams. The Sooners were rated No. 2 twice, and No. 5 in the first poll Oct. 2. Wilkinson was almost speechless when advised his team had been voted No. 1 with a total of 2964 points. This was 526 better than Army. Same Top Ten Okahoma, voted No. 1 with 2964 points, polled 173 first place votes, compared with 28 for Army, and 55 for Kentucky, which moved into third for the first time this year. Army, winner over Stanford in the rain and mud, 7-0, received 2438 points and Kentucky, which walloped helpless North Dakota, 83-0, got 2346. Kentucky was fifth a week ago. California, with 20 first place votes, held its fourth place rating for the second week in a row with 2188 points. The Golden Bears also overcame San Francisco in the mud, 13-7. Texas moved from sixth to fifth, as the Longhorns trimmed Texas SPORTS MIRROR By the Associated Press Today a Year Ago—California (10-0) and Ohio State (6-2-1) were selected to play in the Rose Bowl.

Go to Games And Become a US War Monger By Richard O'Regan VIENNA (AP)—Joe Louis, comedies, is a gangster—a gangster "imperialist sport," the communists so tell millions of east Euro-ians. They have few ways of knowing what the rest of the world thinks. The former heavyweight boxing champion, to the communists, a good excuse for anti-Ameri-ian propaganda. This is what immunists newspapers in the Balkans have been telling their readers recently: "Not long ago, Joe Louis arrived in Rio de Janeiro. The object of his trip was not that of organizing sports contests. Immediately he arrived, he began an inflamed speech about the 'splendid liberty and civilization' in the United States and the necessity of war to allow the 'American way of life' to be extended over other countries. "Joe Louis was sent to Brazil to use his former sporting glory to make propaganda in favor of war." That is a communist theme—that American sports are developed to "prepare young Americans for wars and looting like the bestial aggression in Korea." The 'Proof' As "proof" of this contention, the communists claim: "The sporting businessmen in America have invented hundreds of perverted forms of sport in their desire to poison the peoples" Grid Careers End For 13 Colonists With the announcement of the cancellation of Thursday's game with Santa Barbara, the end of their high schoo football careers came to 13 Anaheim gridders. Those who played their final game for the Colonists against Orange on Friday: Quarterback Jerry Dickenson, halfback Leonard Weaver, half-back Angle Huesca, tackle Al Guerrero, center Joe Hoffman, center Russ Noe, fullback Russ Mackey, end John Cyprien, quarterback Enoch Peterson, tackle Dick Johnson, tackle Chuck Lechuga, end Dick Alvarado, and tackle Paul Tlker. Harvard Officials Want to Play Ball CAMBRIDGE (AP)—Harvard officialdom looked up from the slough of defeat today and thundered a challenge the Crimson again would rise to its former glory as a football power. Not since 1946 when the record was seven victories and two losses has Harvard had a winning football season. Not since 1941 when Chub Peabody was selected an All-America guard has a Crimson player been named to that team. This is the Harvard which for years and years was virtually synonymous with football — the same Harvard whose great Ned Mahan was selected All-America fullback three consecutive years, in 1913, '14 and '15. Last year the Crimson won one game, over all ill directed opponent which also won only once. This year the Cantabs have won once, a 14-13 squeaker from Brown. They will end their season Saturday—selected to lose to Yale. But those days are over, if not immediately, then as soon as possible. No less a personage than Paul Buck, provost at this oldest of American universities, says so. "We're going to use every valid means to improve football at Harvard," he told a luncheon of football writers, coaches and broadcasters. What is a good football rivalry with some sort to scratch at the big ones: Michigan have their Jug; Indiana and Pu Old Oaken Bucket; Cal have the Axe; UCLA have the Victory Up until last night.

They aim at developing bestial instincts and to pervert the young.' But it is an argument the communists advance with their tongues in their cheeks. If you pick up scattered newspapers from Eastern Europe, you will also read: "Sports are the defense of one's country. They are important from a point of view of national defense. But this, of course, only holds good for socialist sports—for in the capitalistic countries, all sports serve only the profit of rich patrons." Reds Are Roaring Although the communists advance contrary points of view for their own purposes, their newspapers agree on one thing: "The Golden Days of the 'invincibility and superiority' of American sport have gone forever. Corroded by the cancer of profiteerism, U. S. Sport is today far behind the flourishing development of Soviet physical training and sport. "The imperialist sporting gentlemen," asserts the Romanian newspaper Scateia Tincetului, "boil with rage when they hear about the victories of outstanding sportsmen in the Soviet Union and the people's democracies." Roy Hamey Back With NY Yankees NEW YORK JT—Roy Hamey, one of baseball's top executives, is going back to work for his first love, New York Yankees, the world champion. SB Game Off; Casaba Now The last game was on Friday night, but the end came yesterday to the Colonist football season—and a rather sudden one, at that. Santa Barbara, which was scheduled to be the final opponent for Anaheim on Thanksgiving day, informed the local high school yesterday morning that it had been selected to play in the CIF playoffs again this year and that Thursday's game was off. Cancellation Clause The cancellation clause had been in the contract between the two schools, whereby either one could call off the game if it earned a spot in the playoffs. Until yesterday, however, it had been believed that the Dons would not be selected to participate this year. They entertain Loyola high school, champion of the Catholic league, in Santa Barbara on Friday. Keith Happy At least one person welcomed the end of football, however. That was Sam Keith, who yesterday assumed the full-time chore of basketball coaching. With the end of the season, he welcomed about half a dozen gridders to the basketball squad, swelling the roster to 16—probably its final size from now on.

Look at the big ones: Minnesota and Michigan have their Little Brown Jug; Indiana and Purdue have the Old Oaken Bucket; Stanford and Cal have the Axe, and SC and UCLA have the Victory Bell. Up until last night, Fullerton and Santa Ana had annually had nothing but a buoyant feeling to carry away as a token of victory on their Thanksgiving day clash. There had been nothing BEYER material, but an end came to that last night when the Santa Ana Second Guessers club and the Fullerton Quarterbacks club held a joint meeting at Santa Ana jaysee. The new trophy which the teams will scrap over, and which will be exhibited to the crowd between halves of Thursday's game, is a beaut. About three feet high, it has an actual size football resting atop four columns, each column topped by a miniature turkey. Standing among the columns is a griddler in punting position. The trophy was purchased jointly by the two spectator clubs and will be a perpetual prize, going to the winner each year. At present, it has a place for engraving the winning teams name for the next 90 years. Unlike the other traditional trophies, this one has no name as yet. Its miniature gobblers might suggest the name of "Turkey," but this has connotations which are fitting to neither the trophy nor the annual grid struggle. The joint meeting of the grid clubs also attempted to determine the likely first winner of the trophy by calling upon the rival coaches last night. Each promptly predicted overwhelming victory, Fullerton's Tex Oliver saying that he didn't see how Santa Ana could lose and the Dons' Bill Cook expressing hope that Oliver would refrain from running up too much of a score. "We have had pretty coeds, this past week, going from class to class," Oliver sobbed, "trying to find eleven football players who don't know any better than to take the field against Santa Ana on Thursday. "Moreover, we're not in top-notch shape. A couple of our backs suffered charleyhorses the other night when they made long runs. They're not used to that sort of stuff." Cook then told of his woes, and, if one may believe him, it is remarkable that the Dons have been able to win even one game this year. Less pessimistic, however, were some of the participants who will hook up in the Thanksgiving tussle. Most outspoken was Don quarterback Ray Willsey who most likely gave both coaches a case of apoplexy with his frankness. Quoth the QB: "I think it would be a good idea to let Fullerton have the trophy for the next two days because we're going over and get it for the next year on Keith Happy At least one person welcomed the end of football, however. That was Sam Keith, who yesterday assumed the full-time chore of basketball coaching. With the end of the season, he welcomed about half a dozen griddlers to the basketball squad, swelling the roster to 16—probably its final size from now on. With the season's opener now just eight days away, Keith had an outfit lined up that some observers said would probably constitute his starting lineup — at least early in the year. It had Jim Ball and Ira Webber at forwards, Ronnie Faulkner at center, and Dennis Denny and "Grape" Welch at guards.
