30. A substitute back, Otis Rogers, grabbed the third-period kick-off and hurried 90 yards for the touchdown which started Oklahoma off toward its 19-to-0 victory over Kansas State in a Big Six football game here today. After a scoreless first half, Oklahoma completely bottled up Howard Cleveland, Kansas State's triple threat quarterback, and sent Jack Baer and Woody Huddleston crashing through the Wildcat line for they seem.

The Negro who beat Petey Sarron in New York, Friday night, to become the first native-born St. Louisan to gain recognition as a world titleholder, once thought football was too rough for a light athlete and failed in an effort to gain a positon on the Vashon High eleven. Like the history of many fighters, Armstrong, or Henry Jackson, as he was baptized, had a long, tough trail before he reached the fistic heights. He was born on Josephine street, near the Jefferson avenue viaduct, Dec. 12, 1912, youngest of 14 children.

The result gave Mis-iourt a .500 standing with one vic- tory and one defeat.

The heralded return of Everett Kiecher, injured star back, did not materialize. And with its offensive power sitting on the bench, Iowa State never seriously threatened. A 51-yard march produced the Tigers' first touchdown in the third period after the Cyclone forward wall had dug in during the first half. Don Johnson's 18-yard pass to Mahley was the scoring play. A fourth quarter break in the way of a recovered fumble helped the Tigers score their second touchdown.

It was the same Sweeney who last week rocketed into Allen Mc-Farland in the end rone to give Kotre Dame a safety in its 9 to 7 surprise victory over the Navy. From the very beginning Notre Dame was an alert, smart, scrappy eleven. The first time the Irish got the ball on a punt, action began.

Andy Puplis, Notre Dame's little quarterback, ran the ball back 85 yards along the side lines, going to Minnesota's 34 before Larry Buhler, Minnesota fullback, smacked him out of bounds. On the third down McCarthy passed to McCormick who was stopped on Minnesota's 19 and then McCarthy truck the end of the nine-yard tripe.

Henry won four amateur bouts, but failed to interest St. Louis fight managers, so the Armstrong brothers set out with one "Kid" Mississippi, a local boxer, in a second-hand auto for an "Eastern tour" in search of engagements.

The "tour" ended like many others and Henry was soon back -in St. Louis, broke and disgusted.
