The Sooners pro ably have the all-around strength to win easily, but a five-inch snowfall at Boulder, may slow them more than the Buff line.

No. 1 Candidate Even if beaten, Colorado will remain the No. 1 candidate for the Orange Bowl bid, with the winner of today's Missouri Nebraska game probably No. 2. Oklahoma isn't eligible this year.

There'll be a lot of thinking about bowl prospects in connectior with many of today's games. Mosf of the leading candidates engage in important sectional or conference competition, from the East. where Penn State and Syracuse have it out, to the West, where Stanford takes on UCLA.

The winner might be in line for a bowl bid. Stanford, one Pacific Coast team still elig ible for the Rose Bowl, has to keep winning to stay ahead of challenging Oregon State, which plays Washington today. Rose Bowl Hopes Unbeaten Iowa, the Big Ten leader and seventh-ranked nation ally, puts its Rose Bowl hopes on the line against twice-beaten but slightly favored Michigan the team orginally expected to get the nomination. The Baylor-Texas Christian and Southern Methodist-Texas games in the Southwest Conference may figure in the Cotton Bowl selections. And there are bowl implications, though no hookups, in the George Washington-West Virginia struggle for the Southern Confer ence lead and in almost any game played by Southeastern Conference leaders.

Colorado Coach Dal Ward, whose Buffaloes face Oklahoma to day, has been telling his lads ail week that the Oklahoma players are only human in spite of the seemingly inhuman scores they've made against some opponents. And Duke's Bill Murray has main tained his boys have a quite good chance of upsetting second-ranked Georgia Tech.

2 UrV-The condition of the Memorial Stadi um gridiron has entered into con sideration over tomorrow's game between Navy and Notre Dame. It has rained here 12 out of the past- 14 days and about three inches has fallen. The field has been under cover since early Monday morning. Ac cording to Doug Tawney, stadium supervisor, it is slightly damp but the footing firm. "There will be no great slipping or sliding," he predicted, if.

it doesn't rain after the tarpaulin is removed shortly before the kickoff (2 D.m.. EST). If it does rain. "It won't take long for It to be he added. More Rain! And the weather forecaster says more rain is expected.

Since only the playing area itself is covered, the Naval Acad emy called off the pre-game pa rade and formation of midshipmen. The Navy football team may suffer more than Notre Dame from a muddy field. The Middies are counting more on running to the outside than to the Irish. Both teams, however, use the sliding quarterback mostly and tricky footing will heighten the risks of the pitchouts. Both teams are exceptionally anxious to win.

Navy to forge into the national ranking picture with its fifth victory in six games and Notre Dame to stop a landslide of four defeats in five. Hamper Passing A slippery football won't do the passing game of either any good and they depend on it a great deal Quarterback Paul Hornung is the mainstay of the Irish aerial game, while Tom Forrestal and Pat Flood have proved equally adept for Navy. Notre Dame may be without its best lineman, center Ed Sullivan, in the opinion of the Navy scouts. Sullivan has been hospitalized with an arm infection and even if able to play will be weakened.

"They are even weaker than rumored at bat against low outside pitches and we are very disappointed, to say the least.

Only hours before: today's slaughter, another Japanese man ager said of the Brooks "The Dodgers are not as strong as expected. The criticism came despite a four-homer barrage by the Brooks that defeated an all-star team at Hiroshima 10-6. So today the Dodgers doubled their homer out put. Get Big Play Despite the continued criticism, the Dodgers continue to get a big play in-the press and on radio and television. The baseball-hungry fans continue to fill the parks to see Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, Pee Wee Reese, Roy Campanella and Co.

With the tour just half complet ed, a total of 290,000 cash custo mers have attended the 10 games while many thousands more throughout this tightly packed country have seen the Dodgers on television or heard accounts on ra dio. Their first five games drew 000 of which 83,000 attended the three games in Tokyo's Korakeum Stadium, 35,000 watched the game at Sapporo on the island of Hok kaido and another 30,000 saw the game at Sendai, a few hundred miles north of Tokyo. Jam Parks The smallest' crowds have been 20,000 at Kofu and at Shimono- seki and that's only because the parks can't hold more. A total of 40,000 was on hand for today's game, According to the Yomiuri Japan News an English-language paper in Tokyo, each member of the barnstorming Dodgers will return home with a profit of $3,500. The paper's Japanese-language parent, Yomiuri, is sponsoring the Dodg ers tour.

Added to the $6,934.34 each Dodger received as a loser's shars of the World Series purse, the It a tional League champions will gross $10,434.34 in post season money.
