The Orange Bowl-bound Jay hawks landed i men on the first offensive and defensive units, while the Sooners and Tigers each placed four men.

(AP WtrephoU) Harvard-Yale Match 8-0 Marks Saturday CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) 0 decision on the strength of two Fans on both sides are even more excited than usual this year as Yale and Harvard match perfect records in The Game for the first time in more than half a century. The veteran Eli squad and the surprising young Crimson team will carry identical 8-0-0 records in Saturday's battle for the Ivy League football championship.

The stadium has been sold out for weeks, and the game is being beamed via closed circuit television for thousands of disappointed alumni who couldn't get tickets. Yale vs. Harvard has generated excitement, of course, since the series began in 1875. During one stretch in the 1890s, the teams met with perfect records for five years in a row. But it hasn't happened mw since 1909, when Ya'e took an 8- field goals and a safety.

There have been many memo rable encounters, such as the 1931 game in which the legend ary Albie Booth's field goal in the closing minutes won it for Yale a-0. But for sneer thrills i will take a lot to match last year's tremendous battle involv ing many of the same players who will be out there agair Saturday. Yale built a 17-0 lead only tc see Harvard fight back and fi nally go ahead 20-17 with onl 3:05 remaining. But quarter back Brian Bowling, who will again engineer the Eli's offense hit Del Marling with a 66-yard scoring pass with 2:16 left make it 24-20. Harvard still fought a marching to the Yale 10 before a fumble in the closing second ended the threat.

EDEN MOTORS 124 W. Benton 338-7404 You've got to drive it to believe it! See us for a test drive. The Elis, with such other stars as halfbacks Calvin Hill and end Bruce Weinstein also back from that team, were expected to roll on this year and they did--whipping most of their foes by big scores in extending the nation's longest major college winning streak to 16 games. Less was expected from Harvard, which was hit much harder by graduation a year ago, but the Crimson blend of newcomers along with such holdovers as explosive halfback Vic Gatto has proved more than sufficient so far. Now it's the toughest test for both in this 85th renewal of the rivalry in which Yale leads over-all, 46-31-7, although Harvard has dominated by a 7-3 margin in the last 10 years.

Rocky Has No Regrets On Retirement SAN FRANCISCO (AP) It's been 12 years since Rocky Marciano retired as undefeated heavyweight champion of the world and he doesn't regret a single minute of that long period away from the ring.

I could have gone on as a fighter, knocking out stiffs and picking up big pay days, but it was a lonely existence," he said Wednesday. "You look around and you say what do I want -the money or my family?" So he quit at the peak and went into business. But he did not succeed. These days he is getting along well, however, as a combination public relations man and promoter. LONDON (AP) Raise your American glass to the British toast of the week--the great American Olympian, Al Oerter.

Oerter won his fourth gold medal in the Olympics by taking the discus. Previously he had won in Melbourne, 1956, Rome, 1960, and Tokyo, 1964. Oerter came over to Britain to receive his award as "Champion of Champions" at a party rhrown by the sponsors of the award (Tetley Tea). The British love him above all for one thing--he comes out of hibernation about every four years to compete in the Olympics. That's about right," said Oerter.

"I usually compete about seven times a year. There is very little competition in New York. In the winter it's too cold and with toe distance we are achieving now you can't throw in any indoor arena." Oerter then looked back on his Tennessee Linebacker Cited by AP By MIKE BRYSON Associated Press Snorts Writer Steve Kiner kept his eyes on a quarterback's eyes last week lympic gold medal triumphs and said: "I was 20 in Melbourne. I had the winning throw in the first round. It was only when I was up on the gold medal stand that realized, really realized I had won.

My legs wobbled. I nearly 'ell off the stand. The impact was tremendous." Then he won again in the lome Olympics in 1960 --the ear he was the man to beat, the defending champion. It was in 1963 that Oerter slipped a disc. Only a few days jefore the final in the 1964 games in Tokyo Oerter was ad- irised to rest for six weeks.

He appealed to his doctors. The doctors gave him heat treatment. Finally he was wrapped in tape from his chest downwards and won the medal again. At Mexico, he still had his jhysical problems. In addition low he had to battle the fad that he was competing against younger and fitter men.

"He (Oerter) is an amateur irst and last," wrote John da in the Guardian. "He has competed for over four years with a physical handicap. He manages without too much training or Last word from Oerter: "By the 1972 games the world recorc will be around 240 feet The win ner at Munich probably will hrow about 218 feet.
