By BEN PIILEGAR TORONTO, Nov. 27 UB Jackie Parker, one of Mississippi State's al'-time greats, scooped up a wild lateral pass with three minutes to play and scooted 85 yards for a touchdown that gave the Edmonton Eskimos a 26-25 victory over the heavily favored Montreal Alouettes in Canada's Grey Cup FootbaU Classic today. The injury-riddled Eskimos, trailing by nine points in the final quarter, rallied stronly against a team called the best ever developed in With Bernie Faloney from Maryland calling the plays the Eskimos moved 103 yards over Varsity Stadium's king-sized gridiron for a touchdown with Ulenn Lippman Auburn Blasts Alabama Crimson Tide by 28-0 rr.j every section of the land 7 make up the team compiled by INS experts throughout the nation and released today.

It's a muscular 195-pound back-ficld operating behind a 207-pound line, and, offensively, it would be almost impossible to stop. Pass master Ralph Guglielmi of Notre Dame is the quarterback, two of the fastest breakaway runners in the business, Howard (Hopalongi Cassady of Ohio State and Tommy Bell of Army, are the halfbacks, and Wisconsin's Alan (The Horse) Ameche is the stampeding Up front, there is one repeater from 1953 center Matt Hazeltine of California. The guards are rugged Bud Brooks of Arkansas and Tom Bettis of Purdue. Muscle mountains Sid Fournet of Louisiana State and Jack Ellena of UCLA claim the tackle And the ends, rugged on defense and wizard receivers for Guglielmi's passes, are Ron Beagle of Navy and Max Boydston of Oklahoma. Beagle and Cassady are juniors.

All others are seniors. Geographically, the Midwest is dominant, with Guglielmi and three Big Ten stars. The Far West and the East have two representatives apiece, and the South, Southwest and midlands (Big Seven) area one each. With the second year of non-platoon football, individual brilliance was less apparent, with the em Pro Grid Roundup touchdown, to Florida, Kentucky1 and Georgia Tech, Auburn won in succession from Florida State; Tulane, Miami, Georgia and Clem son before today.

Nov. 27 UPJ. The deception of quarterbacks Mario Bonofigli and Carl Garrigus overcame Miami's tendency to fumble today and gave the favored Hurricanes a 14-0 football victory over Florida. Bonofiglio and Garrigus each, scored touchdowns on short runs, using their fakery to perfection and slipping over the goal untouched after pretending to give the ball to other backs. Florida, outplayed through- out, once got within a foot of a touchdown but Miami's line backed the Gators down four, times inside the 5.

That evaporated any chance Florida had to play in a New Year's Bowl game and gave the Gators' erratic young team a 5-5 season record. Miami has won' eight games and lost only one by a point to Auburn, but the NCAA earlier this fall barred the Hurricanes from bowl consideration by putting them on probation for paying the transportation of football candidates and giving them tryouts.

Staters I Nip Bowl Possible TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 27 Florida State's hard running Seminoles upset highly regarded Mississippi Southern 19-18 today and thereby enhanced then-chances of winning a year-end bowl bid. The victory was the fourth in a row in the last eight games for the improved Seminoles. Florida State now has a 7-3 season record marred by losses to Georgia, Auburn and Abilene Christian. It plays a final game with the University of Tamp next Saturday in Tampa.

A third period conversion by halfback Billy Graham provided the margin of victory. Mississippi Southern had a chance to tie it up in the fourth period when end Hub Waters took a 10-yard scoring pass from quarterback George Herring "to make it 19-18. But FSU fullback Joe Holt broke through and blocked the conversion attempt by Carl Bolt. Florida State scored two of its three touchdowns with its favorite weapon the forward pass but it was a surprisingly good running attack featuring the speedy Graham that set up the scoring plays. Graham, a senior playing his last home -game for the Seminoles, gained 82 of FSU's 200 yards rushing and scored the second touchdown on a 31-yard burst through the line.

Herring, who filled in for the injured Jim Davenport at quarterback, was a Mississippi Southern standout, tossing two touchdown passes to end Waters and scoring another himself on, a one-yard quar- lemacK sneaK.

Oklahoma dominated today's statistics, earning 20 first downs to the Aggies' 11, and rolling for 274 yards on the ground to 173 for its opponents. Oklahoma had a chance In the Same to win the nation's rushing offense and defense against rush ing titles, but the Assies blocked such hopes with their surprising Play.

Leake and Lunsford tied for rushing honors in the game, each making 66 yards. The Aggie defense, holding down Oklahoma's potent aerial offense to S3 yards, was the big surprise. In the first quarter, the Aggies turned back an Oklahoma drive on the 20 when center Jim Lutes intercepted Leake's pass at the 7. Three minutes later second string 01) halfback Tommy McDonald fumbled away the ball on the Aggie one. Another Oklahoma drive was stopped on the Aggie 18 in the third quarter when Leake fumbled and recovered.

Oklahoma's first touchdown came on a 59-yard drive featuring a briliant display of delayed pitch-outs and slants that rolled for long gains.

The last time was in the early moments of the third period when halfback Stan Knowles put Virginia ahead 10-7 with a 10-yard field goal. West Virginia went ahead for the first time and for good with less than three minutes left in the quarter when the Mountaineers climaxed a 29-yard drive with halfback Carl Norman circling left end for 23 yards and a touchdown.

Eager Virginia had taken the lead first with four minutes gone in the opening stanza when quarterback Rives Bailey shot a short over-the-middle pass that end Fred Mover plucked from the rain on the 30 and carried into the end zone.

A crowd held to 1,500 by a morning-long cold rain saw the Tigers use all 48 players who dressed in winning their fifth game in 10 starts. Clemson, among the nation's defensive leaders, held the Citadel to 64 yards rushing and passing.

Oklahoma has been a slow starting club, finishing strong but they could never overcome the stubbornness of the undermanned Aggies, who never let up the pressure.

Oklahoma quarterback Gene Calame scored his team's touchdowns on one-yard plunges and halfback Buddy Leake kicked both extra points for all of the game's scoring. The game was exciting enough to keep the spectators in their seats until the last play. The Aggies came close to scoring in the final quarter as fullback Earl Lunsford. the Missouri Valley's leading ground gainer, led his team's longest drive. rolled from its own 19 to the OU 15 before losing the ball.

Nov. 27 (Special). After three weeks of practice, Coach Eddie Robinson is unable to make proper evaluation of cage prospects at Grambling College. This interesting personal item has the coach working overtime in an effort to find a successful system of utilizing minimum assets to the best advantages. Robbie's hard-to-weight squad has good first-string prospects but lacks sufficient depth of material.

He will open the season with Kentucky State here lec. 6 with two of the nation's outstanding players Robert Abner" Hopkins and Robert McCoy cavorting in the start-- ing lineup. But he insists, with usual can dor, that he has little more. With twelve lettermen returning from the '53-54 squad which won 27 and lost nine coaching col leageus contend that he can get by without additional help. -The most powerful scoring combination in college basketball last winter, Hopkins and McCoy were almost unstoppable and racked up a total of 1417 points.

Li'l Abner" finished the cam paign as the nation's third high est scorer with J. 002 points. He also set NCAA small-college standards for his first two seasons of play by scoring 711 field coals and I.808 points. Both are all-time NCAA totals for two years, according to Steve Boda of the National Colle- ciate Athletic Bureau. Hopkin's excellent point harvest gave him a 28.2 average over the span.

Like Hopkins, McCoy is an effective scorer who likes to sink: the ball from quarter court His big weakness is that he is comparatively slow-moving for fast-break baU. Other squad members have size, speed and defensive stamina. Robinson's big problem is try ing to get them to feel the ur gency of living up to expectations, Wholesale, shifts are being tried to find the strongest combination "Top prospects include James Culmer, Enoch. Cross, Charles Herbert, Joe Johnson, Johnny Ford and Payne Montgomery. Grambling will play all home games in its new 4,500 seat gym nasium.

Fans expect a typical dog-T-dog season with bubbling optimism centered around Hopkins and McCoy. Roy Campanella of the Brooklyn Dodgers hit 13 home runs during 1954. This was the first time since 194S that he failed to hit at least 20.

27 Ut). Bowl-hopeful Auburn blasted once mighty Alabama 28-0 today on great performances by backs Bob- by Freeman and Joe Childress. The victors completely dominated the football game with Freeman counting three touchdowns and Childress one to climax four long marches, mosUy on the ground. It was Auburn's sixth win in a row and its most one-sided victory from arch-rival 'Bama in 50 years. Auburn rested its bowl hopes on a 7-3 season and its fine late season finish.

Auburn, with Childress and Freeman blasting away, showed its superiority in the first period on a 58-yard drive in 13 plays. The clock halted another march late in the second quarter and Childress missed a field goal attempt in the last 10 seconds, but all doubt was removed two minutes after the second half began On the third play from scrimmage, Freeman broke through a big hole and raced 41 to score. Two additional touchdowns in the final quarter, one each by Childress and Freeman, merely added to the margin. Freeman netted 96 rushing and completed five of seven passes for 64 more. Childress had 98 in 20 carries and caught a pass for 14 more.

A sellout crowd of 43,167 saw the demonstration of Auburn power. The Auburn regulars stayed in virtually all the way until the 28-0 lead was obtained. Then 'Bama made its first real threat, mainly on a 44-yard pass from Albert Elmore to Bobby Luna, but saw its hopes fade on Corky Tharp's fumWe, recovered in the end zone by Auburn sub quarterback Howell Tubbs. The wide edge of the Auburn line was one of the surprises. Their backs netted 354 rushing and 64 passing to 73 rushing and 73 passing for Alabama.

End Jim Pyburn, Auburn All-America candidate, caught one of the two passes thrown him and was the outstanding defensive player. In one series of downs, he nailed 'Bama ball carriers on three successive plays for an aggregate loss of 14 yards. The victory brought the Auburn-Alabama series to nine, winds each and one tie.

27 (AWWinless Villanova finally found a team it could beat today and ended a nine-game losing streak by trampling Fordham 41-0 on the passing of Dick Scott and ball-hawking of Don McComb and Mike Mayock. Once they found out how easy it was, Villanova turned the game into a rout in the second half after leading by only 13-0 at the half. Fordham, whose season's record was almost as dismal as Villano-va's with only a victory and tie in nine games, also was the last team Villanova defeated, in the final game of the 1954 season. Scott, bewildered the Fcrd-ham defenders and dazzled a crowd of 9,699 in the PoIj Grounds. Completing 14 of 17 passes for 152 yards in the first half and tossing a five-yarder to McComb for the first touch- down.

McComb and Mayock teamed up for the second score, after Scott's passing and Ed Ortelli's running brought Villanova to within inches of Fordham's goal Fordham took the ball away on downs, but McComb slashed through to block Andy Nacrelli's punt and Mayock fell on the loose ball in the end zone. Mayock did it all by himself for the third score, blocking another Nacrelli punt on the 12 and again recovering the ball in the end zone. Ortclli got the next score on a seven-yard dash around end after Al Ciarrochi set it up with the longest running play of the day, a 64-yard sprint over left guard. Third-string quarterback John Lammers tossed a 26-yard pass to Mike Boruch in the end zone and second-stringer John Ferruolo, not to be outdone, teamed up with By TED MEIER The Associated Press Hardly giving the footballers a chance to properly put their moleskins in storage, college basketball bounces back into the sports limelight this week with many major teams taking the floor. Topping the week's card is Kentucky's try for a 26th straight victory on Saturday night against Louisiana State.

Adolph Rupp's boys went through last season unbeaten in 25 games. But, after downing LSU for the Southeastern Conference title, Kentucky passed up the NCAA title tournament because the NCAA ruled three of their players were not eligible for the tourney. The three, all-America Cliff Ha-gan, Frank Ramsey and Lou Tsioropoulos, now are through at Kentucky, but Rupp can be depended upon to develop another smooth working outfit. LSU, too, has lost all-America Bob Pettit. Nevertheless the game promises to be hotly waged.

LaSalle, which was beaten by Kentucky and two other teams in early season games a year ago but later surged to the NCAA championship, opens its season Wednesday against Millersville (Pa.) Teachers. Wednesday also finds such at tractive games as George Southern Conference champs, at Wake Forest, Temple at Muhlenberg, Marquette at Michigan State, William and Mary at North Carolina State, Ohio State at Titt, Amherst at Yale, Wash ington (St. Louis) at Iowa and Roanoke at Seton Hall.
