By WILL GRIMSLEY Associated Press NEW YORK Make a wish, snap a wishbone on Thanksgiving Day, get the big end and the wish comes true. So says an old saw. The saw won't hold true for the No. 1 Nebraska Cornhuskers tomorrow. Even with the nation's No.

1 overall defense, they'll find it impossible to crack Oklahoma's Wishbone which is averaging 563.2 yards a game. But it will be different at Birmingham, where the tradition of Pat Sullivan will prevail. Alabama has never beaten the great Auburn quarterback. Our guess is it won't again. To Oklahoma and Auburn add Navy as the upset choice over Army and you have the season's wildest three-game parlay for the curtain-dropper.

Last week: 33-18, .647. Season: 461-181, .718. TOMORROW Oklahoma 31, Nebraska 28: The Sooners' powerful offensive line opens a pathway for Jack Mildren, Greg Pruitt Co. The Sooners, as No. 2, should try harder, especially at home.

Mississippi 33, Mississippi State 20: It's mayhem on the Delta. Records mean nothing in this old bone-cracker. Texas 30, Texas 21: The Aggies have pulled bigger 14, 1971 pacing Ted Titchenal fensive guard blowing holes in the enemy defense for the likes of Damon Mays and Charlie Braswell. "I like defense better said Titchenal, "but the coaches thought I'd have mmmmmmmmmmm It Willie Mays in host role Bears a better chance to go on and play if I moved to offense. Besides, Coach Hogan needed an offensive guard." Titchenal, a physical education major who hopes to get into coaching after continuing his college football careen has his hands full this week with the Kilgore defense.

"I'm up against one of their better defensive people," said Titchenal, talking of the Tex-ans' Bob Weldon, an All-Conference performer at 6-1, 215 pounds. "And, I'll probably be blocking on their big linebacker a lot, too." That linebacker would be Cornell Reese, a 6-3, 265- pounder. "I can't be too choosey," said Titchenal, when asked where he wants to continue playing after graduation. "I'll just have to look at the offers and take what I think is best. I'm getting old (24), so I just won't be able to be too particular." to win a football 24, Columbia Marinaro 20, SMU 29, Virginia .11, Illinois 2-7, Kansas 21, Tennessee Idle Mississippi wmaammmm i kid pinch-hilling for TV lalkcr Dick Cavell By DICK SMITH Two of the many reasons Phoenix College boasts an 8-1 record and is off to the Wool Bowl today are Tim Paulus and Ted Titchenal.

"They've both come a long way this year," said PC coach Shanty Hogan, who looks for a third post season win in four tries tomorrow in Roswell, N.M., against Kil-gore, Tex. (8-1-1). "They both changed positions from last year and have done a creditable job," added Hogan. "It's kind of tough sometimes to play a strange position, but both of them worked hard enough to master it." Paulus, who saw little action last year as a tight end, was moved to a split receiver this time around. "I like it a lot better," said Paulus, a 6-4, 190-pound business major who played prep ball at Alhambra.

"It gives me more of a chance to catch the ball. "I think we'll be able to throw on them," Paulus said of Kilgore's defense. "They play a three-deep zone. It poses a couple of problems for our offense, but, I think we'll be able to throw the ball if Hurst (quarterback Don) has enough time to set up." Paulus, who hopes to continue his football career next year, isn't sure of where he'll be playing. "I have a chance for a track scholarship at Arizona State, but I'd like to continue playing football, too," said Paulus.

"We'll just have to see what happens after the season ends." Paulus is the third leading scorer for PC, with six touchdowns and 36 points. He's caught 10 passes for 172 yards, with all six scores coming on passes from Hurst. And, Paulus is finishing up strong. He snared a pair of TD flips in the season-endcr against Mesa, Colorado. Titchenal, a two-year letter-man from Central High, last season played defense at a tackle spot.

This year, though, he's been stationed as an of- No. 1 Nebraska, headed for a Thanksgiving Day showdown with No. 2 Oklahoma, also produced the winner of the Outland Trophy, awarded the nation's outstanding interior lineman, Larry Jacobson, 6-foot-6, 250-pound defensive tackle. The other Cornhusker named was wide receiver Johnny Rodgers. Oklahoma's two honored players were center Tom Brahaney and Greg Pruitt, included in a backfield also composed of quarterback Pat Sullivan of Auburn and two running backs, Ed Marinaro of Cornell and Johnny Musso of Alabama.

Auburn's other selection was Terry Beasley as wide receiver. Michigan, Rose Bowl-bound champion of the Big Ten, placed offensive guard Reggie McKenzie and linebacker Mike Taylor. Tennessee had two deicnsive choices, linebacker Jackie Walker and halfback Bobby Majors. The team, including 11 offensive and 11 defensive players, plus kicking specialist Bill McClard of Arkansas, was announced by Volney Meece; Oklahoma City Daily Oklaho- man and FWAA president.

By STEVE HARVEY have to wait another year Brown will game. The Bruins, mugged 24-6 by Columbia, finished their regular season with an unblemished 0-9 record and were invited to no bowl games. However, they did virtually clinch the Bottom Ten championship. Official sources said Ihat the only team that could possibly replace them on top in the final college rankings, which come out next week, is third-rated Baylor (1-8). However, to do so, the Bears would have to lose by more than 75 points to Rice.

They are given an even chance. "What was the best catch you ever made?" Willie was asked. "In Pittsburgh," he said promptly, "off Roberto Cle-mente. We shaded Clemente toward right field but he hit this line drive to left center. I was running to my right and the ball was up here and there wasn't time to get my glove up so I just reached out and grabbed it.

"With my bare hand, yeh, and they didn't write a line about it in the papers!" "They didn't write about it," Willie was told, "because they had come to expect it from you. Remember the time you threw Billy Cox out at the plate?" The memory set Willie glowing like crepes suzette. Nobody who saw that game between Durocher 's New York Giants and Charley Drcssen's Brooklyn Dodgers could forget the play. With Cox, a Dodger who could run, tagged up at third base, Willie made an impossible catch in right center, whirled completely around and fired a -Carl Furillo hit the ball," Willie said. "I was running toward right field and thinking when I caught the ball I'd have to keep on running, couldn't stop, and should remember to make the throw while 1 was pivoting." His face wrinkled as though he had bit into something sour.

Say Hey By RED SMITH New York Times Service NEW YORK In the fullness of his 40 years, Willie Mays says he wants to play baseball two or three more seasons, maybe four. Not that he needs that job.

If the legs gave out tomorrow he could walk into a studio, hang a la-valiere microphone over his necktie and make it big as the new Dick Cavett or Merv Griffin or David Frost. That, in fact, is exactly what he did the other night. Willie came to New York to tape the Dec. 3 edition of the Dick Cavett Show for America Broadcasting Co. He pinch-hit for Cavett as host.

Johnny Carson should have it so good. You'd have thought Willie was playing centerfield in the three-eye league, he was that loose. One by one he welcomed his guests: Leo Duro-cher, his spiritual father in baseball; Bowie Kuhn, one of the baseball commissioners who never suspended Durocher; Vida Blue, the American League's Most Valuable Player who also won the Cy Young Award; Earl Monroe, the Pearl of roundball players, and a four-eyed sports-writer with a weak chin.

Facing a live audience alone from the floodlighted stage of a theater, he was a mite self-conscious until Durocher joined him.

Leo whanged him on the foot with a bat, Willie screamed and mentioned a prominent biblical character. From that moment he was at ease, drawing his visitors out with casual questions. Bowie Kuhn, back from a Japanese tour with the Baltimore Orioles, said there were some good players over there, lie said the first World Series game ever telecast at night had 100 million viewers, and that all three midweek games might be played at night next fall. Durocher said suppose the Chicago Cubs got lucky; there were no lights in Wrigley Field. He forgot that next year the midweek games would be played in an American League park.

Nobody said suppose Minnesota or Detroit won the AL pennant and winter set in early there, would cash customers paying half a million dollars per game have to suffer through arctic nights for the sake of free-loaders watching the tube? 'Trotters lose six CHICAGO (AP) A strike by the newly unionized Harlem Globetrotters already has resulted in cancellation of six games by the barnstorming black professional basketball troupe. George Gillette, general -manager of the Trotters who have a national and an international unit, said yesterday only seven of the 12 domestic group players are refusing to play as members of an independent union formed earlier this month. Gillette said the international Trotter group still is playing a regular schedule in South America. Salary increases are included among the demands by the union whose counsel is Elliott I. Goodman, former counsel for the late Abe Saperstcin who originated the famed Trotter blend of comic and straight basketball.

Gillette said Trotter salaries aveage between $20,000 and $30,000 a year. jJmMs1 "Afterwards Frank Graham told Durocher he'd never seen a play like it. 'He does it every Leo said. 'Every That's why they came to expect it," Durocher reminded everybody that when Willie joined the Giants he batted .000 for games on end. One day, Leo said, the Giants lost a game when Willie had repeated chances to drive in runs and never got the ball out of the infield.

In the clubhouse, the manager kicked off one spiked shoe and gave some thought to sticking the other in Willie's ear. "Roy Weathcrly told me, 'You better talk to your boy. lie's sitting in front of his locker "I sat down next to Willie and put my arm around his shoulders. He had a high tenor voice then. 'Mist' he said" Durocher's tone was a squeak Mist' Leo, it's too fast for me here.

Send me back to Minneapolis. I can't play up "I told him, 'Now you go home and get a good night's sleep. I want you rested because you're going to play center field for me tomorrow and the day after and every day as long as I'm "The next day with Warren Spahn pitching he hit one over the roof of the Polo Grounds. II never touched anything. He just took off from there." Durocher finished and Willie raised his head.
