If 0 TRIUMPH TO WISCONSIN Team Beats Minnesota To End Best Season In 8 Years Madison, Nov. 25 (JP) Bob Petruska, who lost his quarterback job in midseason, came back as a halfback today to lead Wisconsin to a 14-to4 victory over Minnesota. The triumph, its first in five years over Minnesota, closed Wisconsin's most -successful season in eight years, with a record of five Big Ten successes against two defeats. Petruska started the season as Wisconsin's regular quarterback.

He didnt click, and the job was turned over to Johnny Coatta. Today, Petruska was the big wheel in both of the Badger touchdowns in a battle staged before 45.000 fans in bright but freezing weather. Petruska Goes Over Petruska ran for 33 yards in Wisconsin's second-period touchdown drive which covered 70 yards, and rammed over from the 1 for the score. In the final period he passed from Wisconsin's 32 to Tilden Meyers who was hauled down from behind on the Minnesota 14. Two plays later Jim Hammond cracked over from the 12 for the touchdown.

Coatta made both conversions. Minnesota fought valiantly to give Bernie Bierman a victory in his final game as head coach. Led by Kermit Klefsaas, Minnesota went 46 yards in the opening quarter, only to lose the ball on downs on the 8. In the second period, Minnesota put together a 32-yard drive, but again lost the ball on the 8. Passes Not Troublesome Wisconsin dominated the second half, but Minnesota's defense, ex cept for the final scoring drive, held the victors in check.

The Minnesota running game, which furnished its two first-half threats, was throttled in the last 30 min utes and at no time did Minnesota give Wisconsin trouble with forward passes. Wisconsin went into the battle C. M. GIBBS nourishing mild hopes of getting -the Rose Bowl bid and played the bail game as though the hope was a much bigger one. Even though tavorea Illinois lost to Northwest ern, Michigan's triumph over Ohio State left Wisconsin out of the running.

Bierman's Worst Record Bierman, who resigned recently after 14 years as Minnesota's head coach during which his teams won outright or shared Big Ten titles six times, bowed out with his worst record. Minnesota won only one game, a two-touchdown victory last week over Purdue. Statistics MINNESOTA ENDS Frnch. Hendrlckson. 3.

VESSELS GETS 3 TOUCHDOWNS Passes To 4th For Victors Reynolds Losers' Star Norman, Nov. 25 (JP) Oklahoma extended the longest winning streak in modern football to 30 games today, by outscoring Nebraska, 49 to 35, and immedi ately began wrestling with the temptation to take a third straight trip to tne Sugar Bowl.

Rated as the nation's classiest eleven in the Associated Press poll Oklahoma found itself held to 21-to-21 deadlock in the first half as the result of a three-touchdown splurge by Bobby Reynolds, Ne braska sophomore star. But the rugged Oklahoma line solved Reynolds in the second half and in the end it was the Oklahoma sophomore ace, Billy Vessel, who stole the show by scoring three touchdowns and passing for fourth. Third Big Seven Title The triumph brought Oklahoma its third straight Big Seven con ference title and made it the No. 1 prospect for a bowl bid. It was anybody's guess as to Oklahoma would return to the Sugar Bowl, where it has triumphed the last two years, but Oklahoma left little doubt that it belonged in somebody's postseason classic.

A crowd of 54,000, largest ever to see a Big Seven contest, sat in on the high-scoring tussle. Oklahoma started off as if it intended to run Nebraska right out of the park. Claude Arnold sped 16 yards for one touchdown and passed 23 yards to Leon Heath for another as Oklahoma scored tne first two times it got its hands on the ball. Reynolds Tallies 3 Times Then Reynolds went to work. A fumble gave Nebraska the ball on the Oklahoma 20 and on the next play Reynolds dashed into the end zone.

Reynolds scored again on a 14 yard gallop in the second period at the end of a 64-yard drive. An other Oklahoma fumble put Ne braska only 16 yards from the goal, and it was Reynolds again who sprinted to the end zone. Rey- noldss third straight conversion gave Nebraska its only lead, 21 to 14. Oklahoma tied it up before half- time on a 7-yard dash by vessels, set up by a 59-yard pass-and-run from Arnold to Heath. The third of big Jim Weatherall's seven con versions sent the teams to rest at halftime in tight deadlock.

Oklahoma Rallies That was the end for Reynolds and his mates. The Nebraska star, who gained 88 net yards in 15 car ries in the first half, was nem to exactly 1 yard in the second. It was the first time this season he haa been held under 100 yards. Oklahoma drove 75 yards in eight plays after the second-half kickolf and sent Arnold across from less than a yard out for the first of three third-period counters. A fumble by Reynolds set the stage for the next Oklahoma touchdown, tallied by Vessels on a 9-yard sprint around left end.

Then the unstoppable Vessels rounded out the period by breaking loose on a 69-yard scoring run on which he twice zig zagged the width of the field, Reynolds Nation's Top Scorer Oklahoma closed the scoring in the final period when Vessels tossed a 24-yard pass to John Red-dell immediately after he had covered 30 yards on one run. Fran Nagel scored Nebraska's fourth touchdown from a yard out at the end of a 70-yard third-period drive, and he passed six yards to Gerry Ferguson for the last one in the final period. Even in defeat. Reynolds's 23 points on three touchdowns and five conversions gave him a season's total of 157 and the national scoring lead. Vessels personally gained 208 of Oklahoma 384 yards on the ground, carrying the ball 18 times.

Merrill Green, another Oklahoma sophomore, covered 80 yards in 16 rushes while Reynolds made his 89 yards on 25 tries. Oklahoma Bowl Action Must Await Final Game Norman, Okla, Nov. 25 JP) Oklahoma, winner 30 straight football games and currently the nation's No. 1 team, will not con sider a bid on a postseason bowl contest until after it finishes its season on December 2 against Oklahoma at Stillwater. This was announced in the dress ing room today by Coach Bud Wilkinson after his team had whipped Nebraska.

49 to 35. Wilkinson said no meeting had been held by the Oklahoma players and no vote taken. He had said previously that Oklahoma's decision on a bowl appearance would be entirely up to the players. Oklahoma stopped North Carolina, 14 to 6. in the Sugar Bowl two years ago and returned last January 2 to shut out Louisiana State, 35 to 0.

Ex-Mates Beaten By Brigham Young Provo, Utah, Nov. 25 (P) Seven men who might have been playing football for Brigham Young University if the Korean war hadn't begun played against that team today. But they and their teammates from Fort Hood, Texas, weren't strong enough and Brigham Young won, 28 to 14.

Football Front The two big Ivy League games Cornell-Penn at Philadelphia and Dartmouth-Princeton at Princeton, J. drew a total of 23,000 spectators. About 96,000 were expected to pack the two stadia. So bad were conditions at Princeton that when Dartmouth back Dick Brown tried a kick in the second period, the hurricane which was raging blew the ball backward.

All television lines were down, too, as were Western Union wires. The Associated Press was forced to obtain its report of the game via the one telephone line that was open in the stadium. The Big Ten clash pitting Michigan against Ohio State in Columbus was played in conditions that were just about as bad. In fact, there was some talk of calling the game, but officials finally decided to play it. The visibility was a flat "zero." and a snowstorm raged.

The handful of fans who braved the elements found five inches of snow on their eats. Sunlight -On- SPORTS By JESSE A. LlTMCl'M Sports Editor ALTHOUGH he may be a flash in the pan, Rex Layne. 22-year-old heavyweight from Utah, is the talk of the boxing world. Unheralded and unsung Layne gave Joe Walcott, once the leading challenger to Joe Louis's crown, a neat trimming.

Boxing promoters are hoping he will be the answer to their prayers, but Rex has a long way to go before becoming the fair-haired boy. He lacks experience, but, as Ed die Leonard, former boxer and now a reieree, poimea ouc auer me decision was rendered, the Utah youngster has a chance to really go places. was not the crude fighter many expected him to be," Leonard, who viewed the bout on television, declared. "He punched straightaway, and after the fourth round convinced me he knew what he was doing. "It is too early to make any wild predictions, but this boy looks all- right to me.

I agree with the announcer who said that owning a piece of Layne is better than having a mink farm'." ii-it-ir Dumps AS POINTED out here several weeks ago boxing is -in the dumps and for a good reason. History has proved that if the top is weak the entire structure suffers. The top in this case is the heavyweight division. When Joe Louis announced his retirement it was thought there would be a grand rush of youngsters into gym nasiums. The fight for the championship, -it seemed, would be a wide-open affair.

The rush didn't take place. Chal lengers are as scarce as Colt vic tories and it was refreshing to find the little state of Utah producing what may be the answer to the boxing problem. When Louis was at his best the fight game prospered right down the line. The little fellows drew big crowds, but of late the fans have been staying away from arenas in droves. "Maybe Layne will perk up the sport a bit Surprises FOOTBALL teams from coast to coast upset dope all over the place vesterday.

Mud-and-snow-covered gridirons no doubt will be blamed for the losses. Cornell surprised a strong Penn team, Stanford's tie with California was not according to Hoyle, Micm gan's victory over Ohio State was an upset. Northwestern triumph over Illinois was somewhat of shock, Tennessee spoiled Kentucky's unbeaten mark, and Baylor turned back Southern Methodist And so it happens again. Not many teams will be able to boast of an unbeaten and untied record. Army and Oklahoma still are un defeated and untied.

The west Point Cadets play Navy Saturday in Philadelphia, and will be a strong favorite. Oklahoma takes on Okla homa and shouldn't have a great deal of trouble keeping its record intact.

25 (IP) A Purdue football team, that had lost seven of eight games, today scored a 13-to-l victory over Indiana Uni versity. A couple of subs from far down the Purdue roster came through in the bitter clash with tempers turned as brittle as the frozen ground. Halfback Johnny Durham, Pur due junior who had played about ten minutes this season, started for the first time and ran the opening kickoff back 85 yards for a touch down. He went right down the mid die and not an I.U. player laid a hand on him.

Intercepts Pass Sub quarterback Curtis Jones be came Purdue's other hero, scoring in the. second quarter after inter cepting Dick Ashburner pass on the Indiana 26. The Hoosier classic for the Old Oaken Bucket trophy brought out 45,000 fans in spite of snow, icy roads and a temperature at kickoff time of 17 degrees. The temper ature dropped steadily during the game. Surprisingly few of the fans went home as Indiana repeatedly started drives that failed to dent Purdue's two-touchdown advantage.

Both teams played a little harder than the rules allow in trying to improve tneir Big-Ten records. Penalized 153 Yards Purdue" was penalized 153 yards. Indiana lost 88 yards on penalties and its tackle. Joe Matesic, was ordered out of the game in the second period for unnecessary roughness.

Shot In The Arm THIS YOUNG Rex Layne gave off evidence of being a very good young heavyweight prospect when he beat Jersey Joe Walcott in the Garden. Walcott, the aged battler who beat Joe Louis in their first fight but didn gain the title nor the de cision, for some reason or other, was licked soundly even though there were no knockdowns. As noted. Layne was only 9 years old when Walcott was engaging in his first Garden fight, so we have callow youth really stepping right into the middle of the fistic picture.

This ought to provide a health- giving vitamin for the heavyweight division, and gosh knows it needs one. Layne, however, had better get over the habit of leading with his right while leaving himself wide open, or he'll come up without his head some mtt. o-Good Seed HAVING taken a nice trip to Japan and Korea, and received medals of, appreciation for their entertain ment of soldiers in those areas, Joe DiMaggio and Lefty O'Doul will now return home in a happy and satisfied state of mind.

Slats Gets Mention WHO WILL get what managerial job in the majors is creating inter est among those fans who insist upon their baseball all the year around. For one, the St. Louis Cardinal berth, where dozens of candidates were interviewed, screened and whatever else it is that a major club does before deciding upon its manager, remains open.

The latest and hottest tip is that Slats Marion, for many years "Mr. Shortstop" in the National, is the one mentioned as the likely Cardinal selection. Maybe this is good for Slats, or maybe it isn't Burt Not Out IN BROOKLYN Dixie Walker has had his name bandied about until he is probably already figuring out new batting order for the Bums. But you are told that Burt Shot- ton may ease in on the rail and get another crack at it, for some reason other. And At Pittsburgh THE PIRATE situation, however, takes the cake.

Billy Meyer is still the manager under contract, but no one, including Branch Rickey, knows whether he is going to do the work for which he will have be paid whether or no. Inasmuch as the Bucs have re cently lost their shortstop. Danny O'Connell, to the Army, the name Lou Boudreau is beginning to loom large in the rumor marts. Some visualize Lou as taking over short and also the pilot house Forbes Field. But others, remembering what Lou is in the habit of receiving in pay for such chores, are unable to see this even with the aid of a magnifying glass.

Auburn Loses, 0-41, To Clemson Eleven Auburn, Nov. 25 (JP) Clemson defeated Auburn, 41 to 0, today. The victory, highlighted a brief flurry of fisticuffs which brought almost the entire squads both teams rushing onto the field in the fourth period, left Clemson undefeated for the season. And it virtually cinched an invitation for Coach Frank Howard's crew to either the Orange or. Gator Bowl games on New Year's Day.

For the Auburn Tigers it was the ninth loss in as many starts this year and the sixth game in which University of California halfback, IF YESTERDAY'S football results didn't knock you for a row of igloos you are a hardy soul to be sure. What with rain, snow, mud, ice and sub-freezing temperatures the pregame selections were taken through the meat grinder. One of the more interesting af fairs was the Michigan 9-to-3 upset over Ohio State, where snow and 15-degree temperature caused the players to wonder whether they were not engaging in a squirrely sport. The fact that Michigan had no first downs, gained only 27 yards and still won the Big Ten title all fits very nicely into the cockeyed picture. Oh Woe BUT THE Cornell decision over Penn was the one that gave the sturdy Penn athletes something to hide from their grandchildren.

It was bad enough to lose, after having been rated a two-touch- down favorite. But when they were pried up from under the mud and slime at the finish the realization that they had given up their Thanksgiving holiday to work out and prepare to be pushed under the mud it made them feel like crawling right back under the muck and staying there, Giving up their holiday, of course, was no idea of theirs; it was their coach who had this happy inspiration. Ivy Nailed PRINCETON nailed down the Ivy honors, but had as much trouble beating Dartmouth as most of the experts expected. This was one pre diction that held up nobly, and makes the game a sort of standout. But then Yale knocked aside Harvard also, and the tremendous fears that Herman Hickman has been talking about for weeks dissolved and left the baloney entirely bare.

Old Kaintuck loses AND THAT deep South classic which resulted in Tennessee up ending Kentucky with a 7-to-0 de cision was a tough one for the latter. It was Kentucky's first defeat of the season and came just as they were getting ready to sit down and decide whether they would play in the Orange or Sugar bowl game. On the other side Tennessee made its previous selection for the Cotton Bowl game look good and thereby saved face. And saving your face yesterday was no part of a cinch. Interest Builder VICTORY by Your Host over Hill Prince and Ponder, in the Thanks giving Day Handicap on the coast, added interest to the big $100,000 Gold Cup classic dated for two weeks hence.

The Host, Prince and Ponder, as you recall, needed a photo to separate them at the wire in the turkey-day affair and this naturally whets the interest for their big one nunarea grander. And the fact that the Far West will be represented by Your Host, the close-by East by Hill Prince and Noor, carrying the tag of cood old Ireland, all adds to wider interest3 It could develop into a stirring race, indeed, as predicted.

California Scores First California. favorites to whip their oldest rivals, actually was lucky to come out of the fierce struggle with a draw. California scored first, in the third period, then was deadlocked when Stanford tallied with a touchdown pass early in the final quarter. The Californians finished their season with nine victories and to day's tie. Stanford completed an otherwise disappointing schedule with five wins, three defeats and two ties.

The first half was scoreless, with Stanford making two scoring bids to California's one. Stanford missed 37-yard field goal attempt by End Bill McColl in the second period. Previously, Stanford had traveled 63 yards to California's 19, losisg the ball on a pass interception.

They changed sides for the last period with Stanford holding the ball 5 yards from the goal. Boyd Goes Over 'Kergorian threw a wide pass to Left Half Boyd Benson who sped yards around California's right end for the touchdown. Kergorian's placement was good and the count was 7 to 7.

Stanford's battling underdogs lost a third-period touchdown on heart-breaking penalty for shov ing. The Indians had linked three passes to bring the ball from their own 29 to the California 28. From there Kergorian whipped the ball to Right Half Bob White who caught it in the end zone. The play was called back and Stanford penalized for shoving. In the fourth period.

Stanford traveled from its own 11 to California's 32. mainly on a 49-yard pass from Kerkorian to White. They lost the ball on downs on the 29. California Threatens California's vaunted ground power bogged down on a slow, somewhat muddy field but the de fensive charge of Stanford's line had much to do with their inability to move along the ground. The exception, of course, was Schabarum's splendid touchdown run.

With only a few minutes to go. California made a final desperate bid to crack the tie. It moved from its own 23 to Stanford's 37 as the game ended.
