Well tattooed by Hedley Wood-house's whip in the final quarter mile.

Nail reached the judges a length and a half in front of Calumet's Liberty Sun, who was the same margin to the fore of Brandywine Stable's Countermand, a rank outsider. Victor Wins $67,980 While backers of Nail stepped to the cashiers to collect at the favored odds of 54.40 for $2. the son of Nigral and No Strings became the leading money-winning juvenile of the year when a lion's share of $67,980 increased his total earnings to 5239,930. Calumet Farm started an entry In the nine-horse field and East-gate, who was generally rated the Kentucky outfit's mainstay for the race, finished only fourth after being closest to Nail's early pace. Some observers thought Nail tried to pull himself up in mid-Wretch, but Woodhouse later explained that his charge merely shied away from the starting gate, which was stationed at the outside of the track.

Nail ran the rfule and a sixteenth in 1.47. 14,902 Bet $1,304,845 A heavy wet snow, which fell during most of the program, blanketed the center field and made the main course ankle deep in mud. Poor weather conditions held the week-end crowd to fans and form players were unable to pick a winner prior to the Futurity running. Wagering totaled $1,304,845. Jockey William Hartack, leading rider of the country who rode Liberty Sun before leaving for Miami, where he plans a ten-day vacation prior to resuming his career at Tropical Park, said his Calumet mount continued to run a little "green," but holds promise of "developing into a nice horse at 3 next season.

Jacobs's The Great Man, who is greatly improved since arriving from New York, became the first two-time winner of the Pimlico meeting when he scored impressively in the fifth race for a 510.20 payoff.

The dramatic shutout Ohio State's first victory in Ann Arbor since 1937 gave the Buckeyes their second straight Big Ten championship and clinched the Rose Bowl nomination for Michigan State.

Michigan Stale closed its season today by whipping Marquette 33-0 in a non-conference game.

The hard-fought game turned into an especially bruising battle in the last four minutes during which six penalties were meted out to Michigan and two to Ohio, plus two double penalties which offset each other. Three Straight Penalties Ohio State's final touchdown in the closing minutes was set up by three successive penalties to Michigan on one play. Michigan was penalized to its six when Tackle Lionel Sigman was called for a personal foul.

Although slowed at the outset by fumbles and drive-choking penalties, Oklahoma racked up a 13-0 halftime lead and drew on its vaunted speed and depth to make it a second half runaway. Win Streak Now 28 Games For Coach Bud Wilkinson's nationally top-ranked Sooners. it ran the country's longest current win streak to 28 games. Knotted with Oklahoma at five ioop wins going into the fianle, Nebraska already had clinched undisputed second place. It was a swan song for Ne braska's Coach Bill Glassford.

who announced only Thursday he'll not be back next year. The 1955 Glassford team, which vinds up the season at 5-5, drew heavily on spirit in a bid to make t-ie sendoff a good one. but Oklahoma would have none of it. The only serious Husker threat developed in the first quarter when a fumble by Oklahoma Billy Pricer, recovered by Husker Center Doran Post, put Nebraska on Oklahoma's 36. Nebraska Halted At 8 Nebraska drove to the 8-yard line, but Oklahoma's Dennis Morris squelched the bid by intercepting on the goal line and returning 33 yards.

Oklahoma rolled from there and Quarterback Jay O'Neal made the drive good on a 1-yard sneak with 2 minutes of the first period remaining. From there on it was Oklahoma's show. The spirited play on a sunny afternoon before 38.000 fans blossomed into fisticuffing late in the contest and Nebraska's George Cifra and Oklahoma's Byron Searcy were banished. In net yardage, Oklahoma piled up a 402-187 margin. Nebraska's only edge came in the passing department, with 5 of 12 completed for 62 yards.

Oklahoma completed one of two for 23. Burris Scores Twice Two of the six Sooner touchdowns went to Halfback Robert Burris and one each to Tommy-McDonald, Clendon Thomas, Jay (Continued on Page 8, Column 1) as well as the millions of national television fans, the electrifying 97-yard runback of the Bruins' opening kickoff. But Trojan joy was short-lived. The entire front-line rank of Trojans was offside 5 yards too close to the kicker. Southern Cal three times speared into Bruin country, and on the third drive they scored to end a valiant 89-yard march.

Contratto Scores For U.S.C. Quarterback Jim Contratto, on a keeper play, skipped his left end untouched for the tally, and narrowed the Bruin lead to 10-7. But U.C.L.A., with Brown and Davenport punching away, promptly struck back 59 yards in 13 plays to score the clinching touchdown. Brown had tallied first for the Bruins and the 205-pound Daven port went over for the second one. In between, Halfback Jim Decker booted a field goal with the line of scrimmage on the 13.

Vereb's Sixteenth Touchdown Vereb's two six-pointers brought his seasonal touchdown total to 16, good for 96 points. Bob She-monski set the established mark of 97 in 1950, but Vereb, senior halfback from Pittsburgh, and team cocaptain with Bob Pellegrini, has one more chance at the record when Maryland meets Oklahoma, the Big Seven champion, in the 1956 Orange Bowl in Miami. January 2. Today's game was not Maryland's best performance of the season.

In fact, the second half in particular left much to be desired as G.W. pushed the Terps around with ease. It may have been that Maryland was afraid of letting loose, believing Oklahoma scouts were watching: But the Sooners, for some reason, did not send anyone to watch Maryland's finale and will depend on movies of earlier Terp games for scouting reports. Eddie Teague, assistant Terp coach, was at Lincoln, how-ever, to get an eye full as Oklahoma crushed Nebraska, 41 to 0, in the Big Seven championship game. An all-morning snow made the going a little rough for both, teams.

The field had been scraped before game time and snow covered most of the sidelines. A snowman, bearing a black on his chest, sat under the east goal po.st. Beightol Pitches Pass Maryland wasted little time in taking the lead, marching 68 yards in five plays the first time it had the ball. Quarterback Lynn Beigh- tol's 41-yard pass to End Russell Dennis was the payoff with the 6-foot-3 senior taking the ball over his shoulder on the G.W. 4 and scoring after four minutes.

Vereb's conversion attempt, which later would have tied him with Shemonski, barely got 2 feet off the ground. The Terps scored again late in the first quarter as Guard Jack Davis, a standout in Maryland's strong line, set up the opportunity with an alert diagnosis of a i.w. play. Davis, a 195-pounder and fastest man along the Terps' forward wall, rushed Bob Sturm as the Colonial quarterback went back to pass from his own 41. Davis hit Sturm so hard he fumbled and the Maryland guard recovered back on the 27.

Tamburello Enters Game Frank Tamburello, Maryland's regular quarterback who has been on the injured list for a week with cellulitis, then came in to direct the touchdown drive.

Chuck Curtis' passing and the running of Ray Taylor and Vernon Hallbeck administered the worst defeat in 34 years of football competition with the Owls. Rice was losing its sixth straight game the first time in a quarter of a century of coaching for Jess Neely to suffer this humilation. Texas Christian, with its smashing triumph today, clinched at least a tie for second place in the Southwest Conference race and assured itself a spot in the Cotton Bowl for the first time since 1952.

IRISH RALLY DEFEATS IOWA Hornung Kicks Field Goal For 17-14 Victory South Bend. Ind Nov. 19 (IP). Notre Dame, kept under pressure most of the game by Iowa's sizzling sophomore backs, today popped loose behind Quarterback Paul Hornung's aerials for a touchdown and field goal in the last 7J2 minutes of play for a 17-14 victory. The brief, sensational rally turned a record Irish home crowd of 59.955 into a frenzy and the field was swamped by uproarious fans as the game ended, giving Notre Dame its eighth victory in nine starts.

The goal posts went down for the first time in the school's history. Hornung The Hero Hornung was the hero of the spectacular victory surge. After Iowa grabbed a 14-7 lead early in the fourth quarter, Hornung started firing passes as never before this season. Two hits in succession were good for 32 yards and finally he capped a 63-yard touchdown drive in five plays with a terrific bit of split second strategy. With the ball on the Iowa 17.

Lose Four Of Five The Colts, who have fell on hard days recently, losing four of their last five games, hope to regain their winning stride against the Coast football team, and to get above the .500 mark. But handicappers don't see it that way. They have posted the Rams as 5-point favorites.

The Rams are tied atop the Western Division of the National Football League race with the Chicago Bears. Both teams boast of a 5-3 record.

Youne '24'. Purdue Subdues Indiana, 6 To 4 Bloomington, Nov. 19 (ZP). Purdue defeated Indiana, 6-4 today for its eighth straight victory in their 'Old Oaken Bucket' football series. It was a defensive battle as furious as any of their 57 other games.

The savage contest on the field was followed by a snowball fight between two small armies of fans that wasn't play. Apparently nobody was seriously hurt, although a dozen persons were knocked down. Indiana won that battle. Indiana's Hoosiers twice trapped Purdue Quarterback Len Dawson in his end zone for safeties. The four points didn't offset a one-yard touchdown plunge by Ed Neves, Purdue sub halfback from Hawaii, on the first play of the final quarter.

Both teams made magnificent goal line stands. Indiana Quarterback Gene Cichowski and Halfback George Crowe plunged to the Purdue one late in the last period, but the Boilermakers held for downs. The Hoosiers hammered back to the Purdue 15, and Cichowski's pass was intercepted in the end zone by Jim Whitmer. Dawson passed to Whitmer for 34 yards, on the Indiana 19, in the play that set up the Purdue touchdown. Lamar Lundy, huge Purdue left end, made it possible by hitting Cichowski so hard he fumbled.

Army and Navy have been butting heads, trading cheers and thrilling the nation with their service rivalry. This Saturday will be no exception as over 100.000 fans jam into Philadelphia's Municipal Stadium for the fifty-sixth game in the series dating back to 1890.

Navy's George Welsh may be the hero, or Army's Pat Uebel, or others who may rise to the great occasion. But whoever the star and whatever the outcome, old grads are sure to be thinking about the heroes of their own era too, while watching the field below. Middies Cheered Army Heroes there have been galore, and many strange happenings in this best-of-all football series. There the time, for instance, when Middies actually cheered for Army, and the year that Ed Garbisch scored all the points to beat Navy. 12-0, with four field goals.

That was played in Bal timore in 1924. Babe Brown had almost dupli cated the performance by Gar Los Ageles, Nov. 19 (IP) The Bruins of U.C.L.A., astonished by a 97-yard return of their opening kickoff that was nullified by a penalty, came back to crush Southern California, 17 to 7, and highball into the Rose Bowl January 2. Winding up their regular season with a perfect slate of six victories in the Pacific Coast Conference, and beaten only by Maryland early in the fall, the Bruins scored a touchdown in the first quarter, a field goal in the second and squashed the Trojan hopes with another touchdown in the final minutes. Brown And Davenport Star A whirling dervish named Sam Brown, 173-pound halfback from Oakland, and the hard-hitting smashes of Fullback Bob Davenport killed off any hopes of a Southern California upset.
