W. Post, who received the player dPiWSte By TOM WEIGEL Chicago Daily News NORMAN, Okla. Leon Crosswhite is the fullback in Oklahoma's Wishbone attack. And all week before the Sooners "game of the century" with defending national champion Nebraska, a little voice inside Leon was saying, "don't fumble on Thanksgiving, you hear?" It's too bad for Oklahoma fans that Leon's little voice couldn't have played Jiminy Cricket for the other Pinochios in the Sooner backfield. Because, while Leon didn't fumble, quarterback Jack Mildren, halfback Greg Pruitt and substitute fullback Tim Welch did.

Nebraska recovered all three of those bobbles, turning two into touchdowns and that was the critical difference as the Cornhuskers out-scored the Sooners 35-31, in one of the most exciting contests in this or any other century. The outcome made prophets out of those who predicted that three Oklahoma fumbles would lose the game for the Sooners.

"This is the greatest victory of my career," AMERICAN LEAGUE Eastern Division Pts GF GA To 76ers SEATTLE (AP) The second largest home crowd in Seattle history chanted, "We want Rule," but when the National Basketball Association game was over Thursday night, center Bob Rule was on his way to Philadelphia. The 6-foot-9 center didn't leave the bench despite the insistence of the 13,170 fans. "Right there I figured something was up," he said later.

"I thought, 'Where am I going?" Seattle SuperSonics general manager Bob Houbregs traded Rule to the 76ers for secondround draft choices next year and in 1974 and an undisclosed amount of cash. Rule, the last of the original Sonics, snapped an Achilles tendon twice last year. He has not started this season but has played as a reserve. Don Smith and Pete Cross have alternated starting at the center spot. Rule, who admitted he felt "let down" by the trade, said, been hard sitting on the bench.

But I'm glad to have the opportunity to show what I can do. After talking to the man in Philly, I feel I'll get a good shot right into the starting lineup." Houbregs said there wasn't enough time to allow Rule to produce. "It is possible Rule could do very well in Philadelphia," he conceded. Rule has played 243 minutes in 16 games this season and was shooting 36 per cent from the field and 53 per cent from the foul line. A second-round draft choice from Colorado State, Rule averaged 22.3 points in his five-year Sonic career.

He holds the Seattle one-game scoring record of 49 points, which he set in 1969 against Philadelphia. Record Purse Rosewall Wins World Crown DALLAS (AP) Crafty Ken Rosewall, a 37-year-old master of the deft job and the top-spin serve, outlasted heavily favored Rod Laver in two crucial tie-breaker sets yesterday to win the $50,000 World Champion of Tennis tile, the largest purse in tennis history.

"This is a great Oklahoma team we beat and our kids really came up with the super effort we needed to win it," he said. A high-scoring game had been expected and both teams went into the game with elaborate defensive plans.

In the first half at least, Oklahoma threw a surprise pass defense against Nebraska quarterback Jerry Tagge that held him to three completions and only 24 yards. During the same period, the Sooners also stopped Nebraska's outside running game, holding Kinney to 20 yards in nine carries. Kinney finished the game with 171 yards in 30 tries. Except for Rodgers' punt return and a 54-yard touchdown drive after Pruitt's fumble in the first period, the Oklahoma defense was surprisingly strong, holding Nebraska to 91 total yards in the first half. As for Devaney's defensive plans, it was to stop the Wishbone by shutting off the speedy Pruitt to the outside and covering the Oklahoma pass receivers man-to-man.

Both of these ploys seemed to backfire at first, as the Sooners rolled up 311 yards and a 17-14 halftime lead. With Husker defenders favoring the ontside, Mildren found the running lanes open inside for himself. And with Sooner split end Jon Harrison getting single coverage by Husker safety Bill Kosch, Mildren was able to silence critics who said he wasn't much of a thrower. He hit Harrison three times in the first half, the last one coming with ortlv five seconds left to give the Soonprs their- halftime lead. "Mildren's nassing forced us to make certain adjustments at halftime," Devanev said.

"We found we just couldn't cover Harrison one-on-one, so we switched to a zone." Harrison did manage to catch one more nass In the second half, a 16-yard scoring strike from Mildren with 7:10 left in the game to give Oklahoma a 31-28 lead.

Laver, the only man to twice win the grand slam of national championships in one year, had defeated Rosewall in eight of their last nine matches. "It's about time he lost one," said Rosewall, who was presented a sparkling diamond ring, a gold trophy and the victory check. Rosewall won the match 6-4, 1-6, 7-6, and 7-6 in the best three of five set WCT finals in Memorial Auditorium before a crowd of 8,200 just 500 short of a sellout.

"Laver, 33, won $20,000 second-place money. With the sets even 1-1 and the third set tied six games all, the two Australians went into the WCT tie-breaker, which was decided by the first player to win seven out of 12 points. Rosewall took the third set under the system 7-3. Laver, who had 10 double faults and four foot faults, fought back from two service breaks to tie the fourth set at 66. Then the steel-nerved Rosewall won the tie breaker 7-4.

He celebrated the winning point a spinning serve which Laver muffed by hurling his racket some 15 feet in the air. on a 13-foot jump shot by Clark with 1:13 left in the first quarter. Baltimore steadily widened the gap until it reached 15 points at 48-33 in the middle of the second quarter. The victory broke a three-game losing streak for the Bullets. Atlanta's loss was its third straight, its 14th in 19 games and its ninth in 12 home games.
