SOONERS HOLD FIRM GRIP
AS NO. ONE TEAM
(by The Associated Press t
With only one week of the
season remiaining. Oklahoma’s
mighty Sooners have a firm1
grip on (first place among the
nation's college football pow
erhouses ‘today and a good
chance of repeating their 1050
national championships.
Coach Bud Wilkinson’s red
shirted staiwfarts, who boast
the longest major college win
ning strdaik in the country, 28
in a row, were so far ahead in
the nexi.-to-last Associated
Press poll otf the season that
most of the interest centered
©n the iba.tle for second place
between Michigan State and
Maryland.
Oklahoma was No. 1 on the
ballot of 114 of the 200 sport
writers and broadcasters, pil
ing up a itotal of 1,889 points.
It was a (good ways back to
second place, where Michigan
State squeezed past Maryland
by a bare six points, 1,689 to
1,683. Points were awarded
on the usual basis of 10 for
first, 9 for second, ate.
The voters apparently were
more impressed by State's 33
0 rout of Marquette than by
Maryland’s performance in
beiating George Washing .on
19-0. Maryland, the early sea
son leader, had been second
and Michigan State third a
week ago.
Both teams have concluded
their season, although Mary
land will meet Oklahoma in
the Orange (Bowl and State
will play UCLA, No. 4. in the
Rose Bowl.
Oklahoma is expected to
wrap up victory No. 29 and its
second perfect season in a row
against so-so Oklahoma A & M
Saturday. Several other mem
bers of the >top ten. notably
Georgia Tech and Auburn,
will be gunning for bowl bids
as well ‘as a higher spot in the
rankings.

NEW YORK (JP) The Monday
• morning class of football coach
es knew at a glance that the
Old Professor was in his cup*
again. He had a coup of coffee
in front of him, a cup of tea
to the right of him, a cup of co
coa to the left of him, He gazeci
at them in turn, slightly be
wildered.
Old Professor — I confess I’m
confused, Igentlemen. I started
making a five day test, and I’ve
forgotten what I was testing
Guess I’ll have to trade my
memory in for a later model.
Paul Dietzel, Louisiana State
— Speaking of trades, profes
sor, I wouldn’t trade Earl Leg
gett for any tockle in the Uni
ed States. The 265 pound young
mian was a standout. We know
our defense was good, but the
way we moved the ball wias
one of the most gratifying
things I have experienced in £
long time. Our offense worked
well against Arkansas’ tough
defense.
Jock Mitchell, Arkansas —
I’m quii e disappointed in the
showing of the Razorbacks. It
looks like we always have a
tough time getting fired up for
LSU.
Old Professor — It’s not an
all-fired team, in other words.
Or fired all the time, if you
will excuse my levity.
Ned McDonald. Virginia —
There’s time for everything,
professor, but our trouble was
that we picked the wrong times
Our untimely mistakes and
breaks cost us. We played wel]
the second half against North
1 Carolina, but we’ve had nine
games like this this season.
We’ve been unable to put to
ga her good first and second
halves. Jim Bakh Car’s running
in second half was really great
George Borclay. North Caro
lina — The Bakhtiar is as good
a fullback on offense as we've
seen all year. He’s better than
Notre Dame’s Don Schaefer. He
lust runs and runs. It was one
of our betr.er games of the sea
son, although I wasn’t too pleias
ed with cfur defense in spots, j
Old Professor — There were
bad spots before your eyes,
you might say. Mr. Woodward!
why are vou humming “Pony!
Boy ”
Woody Woodward, Southern
Methodist — Ah, our ponies
really were husi.linlg, weren’t
they? And the down/field block
' ing of the linemen enabled our
ball carriers to pick up addition
al yardage frequently.
George Sauer, Baylor—SMU
did everything well. It was
very good on defense, doing
fine gainst our passes — bet
ter than we expected. Their
line was almost impossible to
open -up, and they also charged
our ipasser, Doyle Traylor, very
hard.
Old Professor — You’d rath
er they would pay cash, heh?
Oh, well, let it go. Mr. Wilkin
son, you should be quite happy.
Bud Wilkinson, Oklahoma—
I am, professor, I am. We’re al
ways happy to win. I think Bill
GlasSford is one of the finest
gentlemen and one of the best
:oaches I’ve ever competed a

Report five more
ex-Red chiefs are
^executed
i MOSCOW (/P) Five former
friends of Lavrenty Beria, the
Stalin era police iboss, have
been executed and two others
may have 'been sentenced to
life imprisonment, according
to a report today from Tifli:
(Tbilisi) radio in Soviet Geor
gia.
Details were not immediate
ly available and the charges a
gainst the defendants were not
clear, /but the radio report in
dicated they were conspirators
with Beria, who was executed
in June, 1953, on charges of
treason and conspiring to seize
the Soviet government.
LONDON (/P) Laventry Ber
ia, a product of the Georgian
security organization, kept ti
r ght control over it when he mo
; ved into the national spotlight
in Moscow. After he was purg
- ed the axe started falling vig
Iorously among his former assoc
iates in Georgia.
The Tiflis broadcast identi
fied those executed only by
their last names. Radio monit
ors here said a sixth official
might have been included in
the grouip executed. This was
not certain, * due to indistinct
ness of the broadcast.
Stewardess killed
the one remaining (bullet in the
gun into his neck.
Blood streamed from the
wound but he remained stand
ing. He reloaded, ran another
25 yards and fired a bullet into
his head. He died three hours
later at Renton hospital.
Miss' Sihedd was dead on ar
rival at the same hospital.
Miram <K. Garland, tihe dead
girl’s roommate and the second
I stewardess aboard the plane
! whemthe shooting occurred told ■
i King county sheriff’s detective
| Jim Graddon of Miss Shedd’s
itempestuous romance with
Clendenin.
She told hoiw they met in
New York last ■September to
attend the World Series, of
! Miss Shedd’s subsequent at- j
| tempts to break off the ro-I
: rnance and tthe slain steward-!
1 ess’ fear of Clendenin.
Miss Garland said last Mon-!
day the victim met Clendenin
in Chioajgo and told him they
definitely were through. The
next day. Miss Garland contin
ued, Clendenin showed his ul- J
; timai.e victim the same .38 calj
iber revolver with which he
was to kill her six days later.
Last Friday morning, while
Miss Shedd was visiting a tr
end, Miss Garland said, Clen
; denin burst into her bedroom
| and demanded to know where
Sally was.”
Miss Garland, who was the
door of the plane when Clen
denin boarded i, said she
couldn't “help feeling that I
could have prevented it — if
I had just shoved her (Miss
Shedd) off the plane the min
ute I saw him.”
