The Sooners took their 29th straight victory by using only their bread and butter handoffs and option plays mixed with some passes. It was also their fourth successive shutout. In the stands watching closely were Terrapin scouts. Oklahoma, which got a ticket to the Orange Bowl By winning its eighth straight Big Seven title, faces Maryland Jan. 2 at The Sooners went into Saturday's contest a 6-touchdown favorite.

ONLY THREE RETURN LIVINGSTON UP) Only three lettermen grace the 1955-56 roster of the Park of Livingston basketball team.

They are Gary Pear son, Jack Dunlap and John Price. Coach Gene Bourdet opened organized practice sessions Monday. The Rangers begin their season Dec. 2 when they entertain Grey-bull, in a nonconference clash. Park opens its Class AA Conference schedule Dec.

3 in Great Falls. Top players lost by graduation put the finishing touches on one of the most stirring of these service football classics, witnessed by a crowd of 102,000 at Municipal Stadium. Favored Navy, its touted passing attack frustrated by alert Army defenses and its every offensive gesture after the first one thwart ed by costly fumbles, was kept on the defensive through most of the final half. Three times the favored Midshipmen, with quarterback George Welsh pin-pointing his passes, marched deep into Army territory only to stall when the ball squirted from their hands into the eager paws of the Cadets. The most disheartening of these came early in the fourth period, with Army holding a slim 7-6 lead With two long passes to his fine receivers, All America Ronnie Beagle and Jim Owen, Welsh pro pelled Navy 69 yards to the Army 23.

Driving goalward relentlessly, Welsh threw a short forward to Beagle, who fumbled. Stanley Slater, Army's crack sophomore guard, recovered on the Army 20 and the Cadets marched to their final touchdown. Uebel, who scored three touch downs in Army's 20-7 victory in 1953 and who was a workhorse in the 27-20 Army defeat a year ago, ripped off huge gains through Navy's staggering defenses, alternating with substitute Dick Murt- and and Lash. The other Army drive covered 41 yards and was strictly again the product of Army's swift infantry troops. Murtland, Uebel and Mike Ziegler carried the ball, with Uebel going the final 5 yards.

The game was viciously fought on both sides, as is customary in this great spectacle, with penalties and injuries frequent. Navy's halfback Dick Guest went out with a broken nose in the first period and in the second Army's injury-plagued halfback, Bob Ky- asky, was carried off the field with a recurrence of his knee injury. savage brilliance as Tech trampled Georgia, 21-3, and nailed down a trip to the Sugar Bowl. It will be Tech's fifth straight bowl appearance under Coach Bobby Dodd. The Yellow-jackets have never lost a bowl game under Dodd.

Selection of Tech to meet Pittsburgh in New Orleans Sugar Bowl came within an hour after the Jackets" victory over their traditional upstate rivals. Morris, Tech center and captain, played a bulldozing defensive game. In the third period, he threw Georgia's passing ace, Dick Young, for losses of 8, 11 and 11 yards on three successive plays to kill the Bulldogs' last scoring threat. Brooks, a cat-quick guard, also was a demon on defense and threw jarring blocks to help halfback George Volkert race away to big gains. He also recovered a fumble that led to Tech's second touchdown.

Volkert carried 11 times for 121 yards, including a 23-yard touchdown sprint. Bobby, Garrad, Georgia's fine senior fullback, ripped loose on a trap play and barrelled 59 yards to set up a 25-yard field goal by Ken Cooper in the third minute of the game. Tech captured the lead before the first quarter was over, going 53 yards in 13 plays. End Danny Bagwell scored it on a dazzling, diving, end zone catch of Toppy Vann's 6-yard pass. FORT COLLINS UP) Colorado king of the Skyline Conference, climaxed their finest season in six years Saturday with a 10-0 victory over Colorado of the Big Seven.

The Aggies, scoring their first victory over Colorado at Fort Collins since 1933, struck for a second quarter touchdown on a 44-yard drive and insured the victory in the third quarter with a 22-yard field goal by Gary Glick, all-conference halfback, who was carried off the field at game's end in a rousing demonstration. Colorado, riddled by line injuries, never generated an offensive threat. The Buffaloes never got into Aggie territory in the first quarter and crossed midfield only once in the second quarter when they moved to the Aggie 42. In the second half, Colorado reached the Aggie 34 on one occasion and to the 36 on another in the only times they crossed mid-field. Third-string quarterback Corn ran the Aggie offensive in faultless fashion.

He crossed up Colorado frequently with keeper plays and surprised Buffalo defenders on other occasions with pitchout passes. Colorado lost its No. 1 and No. 2 fullbacks in the first half. Starter Emerson Wilson injured a knee in the second quarter and his replacement, John Bayuk, was waved off the field shortly before halftime for starting a fight.

Colorado drove 4 yards in 9 plays on its scoring march. Halfback Jerry Zaleski's 13-yard run around left end and Corn's 12-yard pass to end Bill Day were the big gainers. Glick carried it over from the one. Burkemo-Sowell Win WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.

Third-place Montana State landed three players on the honor eleven and runnerup Western State placed two. Idaho State's coach, Babe Cac-cia, received the honor as the league's coach of the year.

Along with the honor to Caccia, his sophomore quarterback, Tom Zaun, was tagged the most promising sophomore player in the conference. Western State's Bill Rhodes was the only unanimous selection.

Representing GLENDIVE UPV-They're launch ing a basketball emphasis program at Dawson County High School but new Coach Clayton Hoyt says dividends probably won't be had this year. "We lack general team height and must rebuild from a nucleus of last year's reserves," Hoyt said.

The successor to Forrest Wilson said, however, the squad has potential for a successful Class A season. Only two varsity lettermen, both just an inch over six feet, are the tall category. They are Ed Schlauch, a junior, who will be at center, and Paul Larimer, a senior forward. Other contenders for the first five are football players Steward Ward, Larry Johnson, Don Hubbard and Larry Skillestad. Lacking height, Hoyt says he will employ speed this year with frequent use of reserves.

Wilson, now athletic director and football coach, said Glendive is launching a building program this year in which full schedules are set for A squad reserves, squad regulars and squad reserves and freshmen. In fact, Wilson said, Glendive will play four games some nights. HARDIN HARD UP HARDIN UP) Hardin High School moves into Class A conference basketball competition in a tough tough way. 1.

The 23-year-old "Kino," as he is known to his friends, is whipping his squad into shape for its season opener Dec. 2 against Anaconda Central in Butte. Frankino said the Maroons will play fast-break ball because "it looks like we'll shy the height needed for control ball." Frankino can choose from six lettermen and a string of hopefuls.
