The contest wasn't billed in honor of Don Perkins, but the courageous Lobo halfback and his fired-up teammates won the hearts of the fans as they turned in their biggest victory of the year. Three By Perkins Perkins scored three touchdowns, one on a 64-yard screen pass from quarterback Chuck Roberts and others on 5 and 8-yard runs.

Bob Crandall added another touchdown on a one-yard run for the Lobos and Ed Beach kicked four extra points as the Lobos piled up the biggest score against the Air Academy this year. The previous high scored against the Falcons conquerors of UCLA and other big teams was the 20-3 victory by Oregon, one of two other teams to beat the Falcons this year.

Sage early Saturday nijrht was acquitted of a charpe of mishandling of state funds. A San Juan County district court jury of four men and eight women deliberated only 37 minutes before announcing thev were ready with a ver dict. The court was called into immediate session and the verdict of innocent was announced at 7:10 p.m. Stands Erect The general, seemingly a man of stern military mien, stood erect as the verdict was read and as the jury was dismissed. But when court was adjourned he clasped Defense Attorney Harry Bigbee about the shoulders and then went to embrace Mrs.

Sage, who has been a front row spectator throughout the course of the week-long trial. He also put his arms around a daughter, Mrs. Bruce King, Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. There were tears noticeable in the eyes of all the Sage family, including the general's. Sage went to the district court clerk's office after the verdict was rendered and: spoke with each of the jurors who had gathered there to collect their jury duty pay.

He also shook hands warmly with Dist. Atty. Walter Kegel, who prosecuted the case for the state. The charge Gen. Sage was acquitted of was that of auth orizing payment of state fundsi in a manner not allowed.

I)i missed Earlier Two other charges, misuse or permitting the misuse of funds with intent to and authorizing payment for. services not rendered, had been dismissed by Dist. Judge Samuel Z. Montoya earlier in the trial. However, before turning the jury loose, Judge Montoya directed that it return a verdict of innocent on these two counts also.

This was in line with motions by Bigbee throughout the trial that all counts be dismissed and that a directed verdict be entered by the jury. Immediately after the decision was in, Kegel arose to say: "The state would like to say we have no quarrel with the verdict." Before the court adjourned, Judge Montoya said from the bench it was not his usual procedure to comment on a trial afer its completion. But, he added, "It is the court's opinion that this trial has been conducted fairly and the jury has acted well Jury Foreman Joe C. Eaves, Farmington, was foreman of the Sage jury. Gen.

Sage had told an interviewer before the verdict was returned that he had no definite plans for the future. He said he intended to drive his daughter, Mrs. King, back to her home in Florida and then perhaps visit his farm in Indiana. He said he felt an acquittal would serve as a complete vindication. Kegel said after the trial was completed he had no plans at this time for the prosecution of two National Guard officers and an employe of the Adjutant General's Office who were indicted at the same time as Gen.

Sage. These persons, who also face charges of mishandling of public funds, are Armando Nasci, Franklin Miles and Mrs. Mabel Miller. All three appeared as witnesses in the Sage trial. I I ents were sitting on trunks of(it blanked the Falcons, cars, and hanging from doors.

The meeting was limited toj those invited action which re suited in the ousting of one man the Republicans believed to be a Democrat and the "voluntary" leaving of two Republicans. Harry Robins, former GOP state chairman, identified the 'Democrat" as Ezekiel Baca and said "he happens to be a Democrat who didn't belong in our meeting. Robins said he pointed out to party officials. after he noticed Baca in the room, that attendance should be limited to those invited.

This, he said, resulted in Lil-burn Homan and George Koran getting up and leaving although "my comment was not aimed at them." Homan, in particular, has been prominent in party politics in the past. Defends Session Robins also defended the closed session, along with State Chairman F. P. Llewellyn, as being necessary to "discuss some policy" and strategy. "You don't tip off the other side when you are talking strategy," Robins said.

He cm- High Speed Cold Front Nears State A cold front along the northern border of Utah and southern border of Wyoming moved toward New Mexico Saturday at speeds of 35-40 mph and threatened the state with wintry conditions today. However, in view of the high speed of the front, weather forecasters could foresee little precipitation for New Mexico. The front was expected to reach New Mexico's northern border shortly after midnight and move southward across the state during the day. However, temperatures ahead of the cold blast were expected to be warm. High cloudiness in New Mexico's southeast corner cleared early Saturday morning, and morning temperatures dropped 15-20 degrees below the Friday morning levels in that Morning temperatures also were colder at other New Mexico stations, especially from the Rio Grande eastward.

Truth or Consequences and Alamogordo were the only stations failing to report freezing temperatures. Skies were generally fair over the state during morning hours, but high cloudiness moved into the north-central portion of the state during the afternoon. The eastern plains, meanwhile, turned breezy and much warmer. Tucumcari and Clayton gained 17 degrees from their top Friday levels. Clayton was the state's warmest point with a high of 73.

The afternoon highs ranged downward to 54s at Farming-ton and Gallup. Albuquerque'Si high of 57 was 5 degrees cooler than on Friday. I Lows ranged from 14 at Grants to 35 at Truth or Con sequences. Albuquerque hadj lows of 20 in the Valley and 31 at the Airport. The cold front moving this way formed a line at nightfall linking central Nevada with northern Utah and Wyoming's southern border.

Lebanon Plane Crash Kills 23 BEIRUT, Lebanon A four-engined plane of Afghanistan's Ariana Airways crashed jSaturday night shortly after itaking off from Beirut airport. Twenty-three persons were reported killed and three injured. An airport control official said the plane was about two miles from the field when it smashed into a mountain. The plane was bound for Kabul. One report said the plane crew included two Americans but this could not be verified.

Ariana does not maintain of-I ices here and airport officials refused to disclose the passang-er list or identify the crew members. Persons at the airport said two engines appeared to catch fire just before the plane plunged into the mountain. Flames from the crash were visible for miles. Ambulances and fire fighting crews were sent out immediately, but had difficulty reaching the site by a winding mountain road. Men Held After Attack on Police Two Albuquerque residents were booked into city jail Saturday, following an attack on 'police officers by several men in the 2900 block of 1st NW.

Officer Douglas Henson said he was jumped by five or six nArcnni u'Vtan Via nttomrttpd In stop a fight between Richard Lyons, 20, and Joe Ramirez, 25, both of 2925 First NW. Another officer, John Turn er, arrived and attempted to help Henson when he, too, was attacked. Turner was struck in the mouth, and was later treated at St. Joseph Hospital for a cut lip and released. Other officers arrived and the fight ended.

Lyons was booked on charges of disorderly conduct, using obscene language and resisting an officer, Ramirez was cited for being drunk and disturbing the peace. ing to cite them for overloading a vehicle. He said each car contained 10 to 12 students. Gerber said he got the cars and as he stopped at Eighth was talking with one of drivers, about 10 more cars Mobs didders At City Airport Big Crowd Waits For Two Houri To Cheer Heroes An estimated 5000 overjoyed fans greeted the triumphant University of New Mexico Lobos when they arrived at the airport Saturday night from Denver. Two hours of waiting were climaxed in a minute.

Football Coach Marv Levy and halfback Don Perkins never touched the ground. Fans crowded around the plane when the doors opened and hoisted Levy and Perkins on their shoulders. Other team members were carried off the runway on the shoulders of happy fans. UNM President Tom Pope-joy called Saturday's victory "New Mexico's finest." Coach Levy said "It was a wonderful comeback. When we went into the dressing room at halftime, behind 21-7, I never saw a team more determined or confident that they could still gain a victory.

Right then I knew that we could win it." He praised the students and other fans for their turnout at the airport. Towed By Truck As a precautionary measure, the airplane carrying the team was stooped far back from the arrival gates and towed in by truck. Thousands, who had been told to keep back, broke loose and swamped the plane. Earlier, the crowd had been warned the Federal Aeronau tics Administration would not permit the plane to land unless the crowd stayed back. The airport scene was an anti-climax to Saturday's Lobo- Air Force game which the Lobos won 28-27.

Two solid lines of cars, stretching from Central along Yale SE to the airport, caused an uncounted number of park ing and traffic problems. Welcome home signs were predominant at the airport. "The Lobos Did What the Army Couldn't Do," "Bring on Syracuse." "Lobos, You Did It, We Congratulate You," and "Nice Job Levy" were some of their happy slogans. Lead Cheers Leading the crowd in cheering and songs were the Lobo cheerleaders, and UNM band. Before the plane landed, university students had something else to cheer about.

Student Body President Turner Branch announced students would be excused from morning classes to attend a rally honoring the team at 10 a.m. in Johnson Gym. If the rally crowd is large enough, he said, then students will be excused for the entire day. Fans were literally all over the airport. They climbed on top of one- storv buildings, on ton of trucks, cars and anything else that would give them a better view.

But when the plane arrived, everybody climbed down from their perches to get a close-up view of the team. It was a hero's welcome for a hero's team. Republicans Planning; Albuquerque Dinner A "Lincoln Dinner with Eisenhower" is planned for Jan. 27 in Albuquerque, Edgar D. Otto, chairman for the Repub lican sponsored event said.

The speaker will be Gov. Mark O. Hatfield of Oregon. He said cost of tickets will be $100 for two plates, and Re publicans hope to sell 1500 tickets. The dinner probably will be held at Western Skies, he add ed.
