Nineteen of the Oklahoma ath letes who take on Syracuse are married. And all brought their wives except Prentice Gautt. His wife was ill, but will be here for the klckoff. Four of the young men were married Dec.

20 at about the same time, but In four different places. The four latest bridegrooms who are combining a honeymoon with their efforts to turn in the fourth straight Orange Bowl victory for Oklahoma are: I Tackle Marshall York, married to his high school sweetheart from Amarillo, Marcene Mabry. Guard Dick Corbltt. married to Donta Rhoton, daughter of Gus Rhoton, the Sooners' assistant equipment manager. End Jerry Tillery, married to Mary Thomas, an Oklahoma City University student who was once queen of the El Reno High School band.

Tillery also is from EI Reno. Glenn Sears, a substitute not on the Orange Bowl roster, married to Kaye Bennett, a sophomore at Oklahoma.

All the wives hold fulltlme Jobs, some in Oklahoma City, some in Norman, and some at the' university. Jim Lawrence had this to say about marriage and its effect on a college football player: "Being married helps you study better. You don't run around so much and you don't have to look for a date: you've got one. You're more settled. It helps you grow up, and you assume responsibility Coifs to Establish Charitable Foundation' -BALTIMORE (AP) Operators of the Baltimore Colls football team announced Tuesday they are setting up a charitable and educational foundation.

The announcement said the mala source of funds will come from Baltimore Football which operates the National Football League team which won the world championship In New York Sunday. Contributions of the organization, to be known as Baltimore Colts Foundation will be announced later, The board of trustees will be composed of directors of Baltimore Football William F. Hllgenberg, a a I Krleger, Thorna Mullen and William D. MarMlllan. Three local sports editors will also serve on the board.

They are John Ftemlman of the News-Post, Jese Llnlhicum of the Sun and Paul Menton of the Evening Sun. Champions on a split decision at Chicago last March.

Floyd Patterson, Archie Moore, Joe Brown, Hogan (Kid) Bassey, Alphonse Halimi and Pascual Perez survived the year as boss of their respective divisions. In football, the champs took a severe pasting all across the nation not only in the colleges but in the pro league to boot.

Top surprise, of course, was Louisiana State, which bounced Auburn out of the Southeastern Conference crown and bumped Ohio State as national champs. Among the pros, both division defending champs lost out along the way to the Baltimore Colts and New York Giants with the Colts Succeeding the Detroit Lions as world champs in the final playoff. Among the new college conference or sectional champs were Army-, Dartmouth, California, Clemson, West Virginia, Texas Christian, Wyoming and Hardin- Simmons. Only Oklahoma like a gilt-edged bond, stood fast. The Yankees and Braves again were the major league baseball pennant winners but the Yankees succeeded the Braves as world champs.

Ted Williams retained his bitting title the American League, but Richie Ashburn took over from Stan Muslal in the National and two new names were added to the most valuable player rolls Ernie Banks of the Cubs, Jackie Jensen of the Red Sox. All three major basketball champs surrendered their titles when St. Louis replaced Boston as pro titleholders, Kentucky took ov er the NCAA crown from. North Carolina and Xavier won the National Invitation picked up by Bradley In 1937. Althea Gibson retained both, her Wimbledon and U-S.

tennis titles, but she was the only champ to repeat. Australia's Ashley Cooper took the men Wimbledon title va cated by Lew Hoad, then Cooper knocked off defending champ Mai Anderson or Australia in the U.S finals. Among the pros, however, Pan cho Gonzales bumped newcomer Hoad. In golf no repeaters as Dow Flnsterwald, Tommy Bolt, Arnold Palmer and Peter Thomson car ried off the PGA, U.S. Open, Mas ters and British Open won In 1957 by Lionel Hebert, Dick Mayer, Doug Ford and Bobby Locke.

So it was again there was good reason in 1958 for the head that wore the crown to rest uneasy. Bassey Accepts Fight in. England NOTTINGHAM, Eng. (API-World featherweight boxing champion Hogan Kld) Bassey Tuesday received an offer to de-j fend his title in an outdoor bout1 in Nottingham next summer. His manager, George Biddies, tentatively accepted.

"Promoter Reg King has made! the biggest ever mada fori Bassey's services In Europe," Biddies said. "I have told him to go ahead with a series of elimlna- i tlons and if the situation works out satisfactorily Bassey will defend his title." i Biddies would not give the exact' amount King has offered. British featherweight champion Charlie Hill, British Empire champion Percy Lewis, Bobby Neil of Scotland and Sergio Cap-rari of Italy will take part In the eliminations. Bassey's last title defense against Rlcardo Moreno In Los Angeles reportedly brought him 156,000. Ha is due to return to the United States for a title fight aeainst Davey Moors early la 1959.

Don Usry, Army end who starred as a pass catcher against Navy, set a record at Cleburne, Hi eh by catching 48 passes. He will be back to haunt Navy in 1959. air force Academy NEW YEAR'S DAY CD TV I RADIO tut Uitlrtgi ftr Umi v4 ititlo 1-4 o)Jj fUU By STEVE SNIDER NEW YORK (UPI)-It was another rough year on champions in every sport except one boxing. They collapsed in clusters all through the year 1958 with the heaviest casualties by far in football, golf and tennis. Oklahoma was the only repeater as a conference -football champion.

Althea Gibson wound up as the only successful defender of a major amateur tennis title. There were no repeaters in any top-flight golf event. But the boxing pros ran pretty much in the groove and of the seven champions who reigned at the end of 1957 only one tumbled. That was middleweight king Carmen Basilio who the title back, to old Sugar Ray Robinson Vesck Expected To Complete Deal Within a Week CHICAGO (AP) The purchase of controlling interest in the Chicago White Sox by Bill Veeck is expected to come" to a head within a week, the Chicago Daily News said Tuesday. newspaper said that Veeck admits this much, adding that "'others close to the situation insist his deal for Mrs.

Dorothy Rigney's majority shares In the club has been completed except for formal signing of the papers." Both Veeck and Mrs. RIgney, who controls 500 more shares of stock than her brother. Vice President Charles Comiskey, would make no comment. Comiskey insists he never will sell his share. "This much is certain," said the Daily News.

"If Comiskey won't sell, Veeck will want to operate in the most amicable manner possible with him in a joint effort to improve the Sox." The paper added: "Veeck is front man for a syndicate which is believed to include Hank Greenberg (former general manager of the Cleveland Kenny Lane Given Slight Edge Tonight MIAMI BEACH. Fla. (AP) -Kenny Lane of Muskegon, and Carlos Ortiz of New York will battle it out for 10 rounds or less at the Miami Beach Auditorium New Year's Eve, and a decisive victory for either man would put him at the head of the waiting list for a title bout with light weight champion Joe Brown. Johnny Busso might dispute that as he defeated Brown in a non-title affair here, but the fact remains Lane is rated the No. 1 contender by Ring Magazine, and Ortiz is placed in that spot by the National Boxing Assn.

So it Is a big bout for both men, with Lane rated a 7-5 favorite despite the fact Ortiz is given a slight edge in the punching department. Lane Is a southpaw, and In box Ing skill Is considered something of a throwback to the great southpaw battlers of many years ago. Ortiz, however, who has a victory over Busso, Isn't bothered too much by left handers. In his last start he whipped Dave Charnlcy, British lightweight champion who is a southpaw also. Ortiz has an impressive record.

He had won 28 strslght until defeated by Busso in their first meeting. He won their return meeting, and hasn't lost since.
