(By The Associated Press) Oklahoma Pads Lead Mike Higgins A. L. Manager Of The Year As Top Team Walt Alston Wins National Award Irish Advance To 4th; Michigan 6th (The Associated Press) it y-i- ies ti r. t-L Jrf rSn yw rr-' 1 i SH) yJ Cry k'yl Did the great Willie Heston ever score as many points in one football season as Hillsdale's Nate Clark did this year? That's a good question, but it apparently defies an answer.

Clark, the Negro flash- from Benton Harbor, ran up a whopping 144 points on 24 touchdowns. That's better than Heston averaged at the University of Michigan in his fabulous career on the point-a -minute teams of 1901-02-03-04. Heston amassed 465 points in those four years, but a breakdown bjr seasons is not available. Menke's Encyclopedia of Sport, an authority on the subject, sayt Heston's four-year total is an all-time career record. Clark's total surpassed the previous Hillsdale record set by Bill Young in 1949 when he tallied 12L tm In the half century since Heston cavorted at Ann Arbor, only two players in the state besides Clark have scored more than Young.

Tom O'Connell posted 126 for the University of Detroit in 1928 and Jerry DePrato got 124 for the Michigan Aggies now Michigan State in 1915. Clark's closest rival in Michigan this year was Bernie Ratorink of Central Michigan, 36 points back with 108 on 18 touchdowns. Behind these were Marv Raab of Almti with 85, Russ McLean of Ferris with 66 and John Adams of Hope with 56. '4lEW YORK, Nov. 15-(AP) -Mike Pinky-Higgins, freshman manager and -Michi or the fourth place Boston Red Sox, was voted today American league "manager-of-the-year" by the As sociated Press, winning tiie award in a close race with Casey Stengel.

The big Texan hosed out the New York Yankees' pennant winning manager by four votes. Of the 99 members of the Base ball Writers' Assn. of America who participated in the AP poll, 39 gan State, the Big Three in the balloting to determine the nation's top college football teams, are proving once more that you not only have to win but you have to win big to stay on top. These three retained the positions they assumed last week in the Associated Press poll of sports writers and broadcasters, but easy-winning Oklahoma stretched its lead while Maryland, the leader two weeks ago, barely clung to second place. With 204 sports experts casting ballots.

Oklahoma's margin over Maryland jumped from 51 points to 167. Maryland's second-place edge over Michigan State dwindled to just eight points. Scoring is on tht basis of 10 for each first voted for Higgins and 35 for Sten gel. Walter Alston, only Brooklyn BOWLING manager to win a world champion ship, won the National league award.

Last year's district champion lost four of its five reg behind the Mountainers each advanced one place so Michigan, Texas Ohio State and Georgia Tech round out this week's first 10. The scores show the obvious reasons for the changes in the balloting. Unbeaten Oklahoma racked up Iowa 52-0 for its 53rd consecutive game without defeat in the Big Seven. Maryland had to come from behind to beat Clem-son 25-12 and stay on top of the Atlanic Coast conference.

UCLA beat Oregon State, 38-0. A UCLA defeat and an Oregon State win over Oregon would place Oregon State ahead of UCLA in the final standings but this would not be the determining factor in the Rose Bowl selection.

We know the Trojans are good enough to beat you if you play nothing but your best game."

Parker, who's something a giant himself. The former Canadian cowboy is 6-5 and weighs 224. "Pottie" that's how the ring world knows him has won all -nine of his professional bouts inside the distance. And a quickie against Parker could be a short cut to fame and fortune. Negotiations already are under way for his United States debut, with Rex Layne being mentioned as a possible opponent.

BUILDING PROGRAM Bangor athletics should be stimulated by a building program calling for construction of a new field for which ground was broken Friday, and a gymnasium seating 1,100. The enrollment is big for a Class school with 269 students and will steadily increase. Bangor plays an independent schedule, and the lack of a conference tie was often cited as one of the chief reasons for the Vikings' losing records.

Olson's basketball team and Clark's football outfit proved the Vikes could win without a league schedule. However, Bangor justly feels that conference affiliation is necessary for the promotion of healthy rivalries. The school has a standing application filed with the Little Eight and KVA circuits.
