Casey Strikes Out On Driving Charge GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) Casey Stengel has pleaded no contest to a charge of drunken driving and has drawn a $302 fine. Atty.

Gordon Yanz, representing Stengel, entered the plea Monday before Municipal Judge Lee B. Stanton, who ordered the fine but dismissed a charge that Stengel had left the scene of an accident. The 78-year-old former manager of the New York Yankees and New York Mets baseball teams was cited after his car collided with another, bounced into a parked car and proceeded down the street for several blocks. Georgia Is Favored To Win Sugar Bowl NEW ORLEANS, La. (AP) Georgia's balanced offensive attack and stingy defense collide Wednesday in the 35th anniversary Sugar Bowl football classic with Arkansas, a sophomoredominated team that surprised even its coach, smooth-talking Frank Broyles.

The game, which gets under way at 2 p.m. EST, matches the Southeastern Conference champion against the co-titlist from the Southwest Conference. Favored Georgia, 8-0-2 under Vince Dooley, captured the SEC crown and earned the No. 4 ranking in The Associated Press poll.

"Our idea is to contain and to hit," explains the safety on a crew which posted its fourth shutout this year Sunday while taking the National Football League championship 34-0 over Cleveland. "The idea is based on intimidation of the other team, forcing them to make the first mistake," said the 190-pounder. "If you keep hitting hard enough and often enough, they're going to lose that concentration and, eventually, the ball." Logan declares it's going to be awfully hard to beat the Colts if we ever get ahead.

"We'll make the other team suffer for whatever they get." He also said the Colts try to make the other team use a lot of time even though it may manage to score. "We will give them a few things, but never the bomb and never the long gainer," asserts Logan. Pacers Clobber Nets 123-105 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (AP) The Indiana Pacers, with Mel Daniels and Bob Netolicky again leading the way with a combined total of 52 points, defeated New York 123-105 Tuesday night in the American Basketball Association.

(AP) Ohio State and the University of 'Southern California clash Wednesday for the national college football championship in the first game between two unbeaten teams since the Big Ten and Pacific-8 signed their postseason bowl pact in 1947.

The Buckeyes from the Midwest remain favored slightly in the 1969 Rose Bowl battle. Southern Cal, whose lone blemish was a 21-21 tie with Notre Dame, is the defending Natonal Champion and is making its third straight appearance in the Rose Bowl. Trojan Coach John McKay is 2-1 in the bowl while Woody Hayes, coach of Ohio State, is winner in his two appearances here, the last in 1958. Creates Interest The prospects of a wild struggle involving All-American O. J.

Simpson and his talented quarterback, Steve Sogge, and an exciting sophomore-studded squad from Columbus, has created more interest than any of recent years. Quarterback Rex Kern, a sophomore, is the leader of the attack. More than 100,000 will jam the bowl and the nation can look in on television via the National Broadcasting Co. off time: 5 p.m. EST.

Dry skies were forecast, the temperature a snappy 60-degrees or better. Hayes and McKay were lavish in praise of the coaching abil.ties of the other when they appeared at the annual luncheon staged by the Tournament of Roses for the football writers Monday. Hayes credited McKay with opening up college football offenses as much as any coach in the country, and frankly said he borrowed heavily from McKay strategy in fashioning this team. "We know Ohio State has a fine football team and is deserving of its No. 1 ranking.

We'll play out hearts out to win," McKay declared. "Ties You Up" "Southern Cal is a good example of a football team that ties you up with its passing and running," Hayes said earlier this week. "They've got real cool operators at the quarterback and tailback positions," Hayes said, referring to Sogge and Simpson. The Buckeyes generally compared Southern Cal to Purdue, a Big Ten rival they mastered and shut out, 13-0. In the process the Buckeyes throttled LeKeyes, to bottle 19 yards up Simpson, rushing.

roy, the nation's leading rusher in 1968? State is comparable to Oregon State in our conference" McKay commented. In that key game, USC prevailed, 17-13, and Simpson gained 238 yards in 47 carriers. Scoring Battle Expected In Orange Bowl Tonight MIAMI (AP) Quick-striking Penn State and Kansas, a pair of -broke football teams ambitious for higher national rankings, clash in the Orange Bowl Wednesday night in what could be the most free-scoring of the bowl games. "Let's face it," said Coach Pepper Rodgers, who brought the Kansas Jayhawks from obscurity to No. 6 in the nation in two years, "we can't stop Penn State.

Nobody can. And nobody can stop us, either. "We only hope that we can slow them down enough to win." Coach Joe Paterno, whose Nittany Lions were the class of the East and No. 3 in the nation at the close of the regular season, agreed. "If I had to make a prediction," he said, "I would predict a lot of scoring.

Bobby Douglass (Kansas quarterback) is going to give us a lot of Outwardly, attitudes in the Cotton Bowl Tilt Expected Classic DALLAS, Tex. (AP) The 33rd annual Cotton Bowl battle Wednesday is a classic confrontation of Texas' high-powered offense against the stingy defensive muscle of Tennessee. Texas' "flying foursome" of All-American Chris Gilbert, Ted Koy, Steve Worster and quarterback James Street covered almost two miles of grass in becoming the highest scoring Longhorn machine in 50 years. Texas, co-champions of the Southwest Conference, averaged 34 points and 331 yards per game on the ground. Gilbert gained 1,132 yards for a 6.2 average.

He became the only player in major college history to rush for more than 1,000 yards in each of his varsity seasons. Koy ran for 601 yards, Worster for 806, and Street for 340. But Tennessee's rugged defense-anchored by All-American linebacker Steve Kiner and rugged Jack Reynolds-allowed only an average of 11 points per game and a meager 93 yards per contest on the ground. Fifth-ranked Texas and eighth-ranked Tennessee, a Southeast Conference titan, completed the season with identical 8-1-1 records. A capacity crowd of 72,000 is expected although temperatures in the high 30s at game time may keep some spectators home.

The Weather Bureau said there should be little or no wind. JACKSON, Tenn. The Union University Bulldogs celebrated New Year's Eve here Tuesday night by blasting Earlham College 107-73 in their own invitational tournament. First game action saw Bethel College manage to slip by East Central State 72-65. The loss, third straight for Earlham, dropped the Quakers to 5-4 on the season and was their worst defeat since Feb.

2, 1965 when Hanover turned the trick 101-54. Plagued by flu during both games of the tourney, Del Harris' Quaker cagers fell behind early in the first half Tuesday evening. EC suffered through a threeminute point drought and saw the host team move to a 15- point spread at 26-11 and then to 17 at 31-14 before the Quakers were able to rally and pull to an eight-point deficit at 33-28 on a pair of free throws by Steve Ward. Short Lived Rally The EC rally was a short lived one however as Union continued to bomb the nets finally moving to a 55-36 spread at half time. The Bulldogs continued to pour it on in the second half, moving the margin upward as the Quakers manage to steadily, find the range.

Dan Rudicell proved to be the Quaker's biggest problem as the Union Netter poured 23 points through the hoop, including 17 the first half to put the Bulldogs off on the right foot. Rudicell received excellent balance from the remainder of the Union starters as all five cagers ended in double figures. Bill Howard had 19 points, Lon Searcy 16, Hank Kennedy 14 and Dave Marsh 13. All 10 See Action All 10 of the Quakers saw plenty of action as Harris continued to platoon his team. Irv Besecker paced the Quaker scorers with 17 points, with Ken Stewart the only other EC scorer able to connect in double figures with 12 points.

Earlham goes into action at Manchester Saturday night and then returns home for a battle with Hanover on Tuesday. Both games are Hoosier College Confernece (HCC) battles.

New Arizona Coach Plans To Step Up Recruiting TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) Youthful looking Bob Weber, new football coach at the University of Arizona, plans to make drastic changes in the school's recruiting campaign.

"We have to step up the recruiting on our freshman and junior college levels in order to meet the future schedules which will be the toughest ever faced by Arizona teams," Weber said shortly after being chosen Tuesday to replace Darrell Mudra. Mudra shocked athletic director Dick Clausen by resigning Monday, without a stated reason and without a new job. Mudra, who moved to Arizona from the Montreal Allouettes of the Canadian Football league two years ago, had just completed a successful 8-2 season and a bid to the Sun Bowl. Earlier Monday he had talked about his plans to recruit about 30 junior college players for next fall. Mudra has hinted that he started to become disenchanted with Arizona shortly after he took over the job, his first major college position.

"I made my decision long before this season even started," he said. In 1967, Mudra had said Arizona could win any or all of its ten games, but the Wildcats finished with a record of 3-6-1. Weber is a native of Colorado. In three years as coach of Trinidad Junior College in Colorado his teams won a national championship and compiled a record of 23-3-2. He assisted Mudra in Montreal and at Arizona, Bowling Scores two training camps differed sharply.

Paterno worked the Lions in secret, introducing new formations to meet the Kansas threat. The happy go lucky Rodgers threw the gates wideopen to all comers. But both coaches were deadly serious on the eve of the battle that could project one of them into the No. 2 spot in the final national football poll, behind the winner of the Rose Bowl struggle between No. 1 Ohio State and No.

2 Southern California. Paterno wouldn't even discuss it, but there was for him a faint hope of something even better. A Southern California win over Ohio State Wednesday afternoon would leave Penn State (10-0) the only major perfectrecord team in the nation going into the night-time confrontation with Kansas. Thus, a decisive victory for Penn State in the Orange Bowl might persuade voters to go for the Lions for No. 1.

Keys On Douglass Penn State, with an apparent edge over Kansas on defense, keyed its pre-game planning on Douglass, the powerful 6-foot-4, 220-pound southpaw who broke the Jayhawk total offense record for a career with 3,832 yards. Penn State's hopes rest on a defense that may be the most rugged the Jayhawks have encountered and an attack led by Charlie Pittman, who broke the Lions' seasonal scoring record with 14 touchdowns, and AllAmerican tight end Ted Kwalick. Dartmouth Rallies To Nip Valparaiso VALPARAISO, Ind. (AP) Joe Cook hit a layup with four seconds left to give Dartmouth an 82-81 come-from-behind victory over Valparaiso Tuesday night in college basketball. Dartmouth trailed 41-33 at halftime, went ahead 69-68 with 4:49 left in the game and the lead see-sawed in the closing minutes.

(AP) Counsel for Peter Fuller has asked Franklin Circuit Court to set aside a ruling denying Dancer's Image first place money in the 1968 Kentucky Derby.

The suit was filed Monday against the Kentucky Racing Commission which recently said that the colt was not entitled to the $122,600 because he had phenylbutazone in his system at the time of the race. The commission's decision upheld stewards at Churchill Downs, who made the original ruling one week after the May 4 Derby. Franklin Circuit Court set no date for hearing the case. Fuller, a wealthy Boston sportsman, has attacked the validity of a state chemist's report which indicated the presence of the illegal medication in Dancer's Image at the time of the race.
