Stubborn Oregon 6-0 Bauer Larsen Pace Yankees To 4-0 Victory West Coast Gridders Hold Statistics Edge Against Sputtering OU Sprint Spahn Ford To Hurl Fifth Contest Today NEW YORK (UPI) Hank Bauer a link with the days when the New Yankees were a legend of power crashed the embattled Bronx Bombers back into the World Series two games to one Saturday when he drove in all the runs In a 4-0 victory over the Milwaukee Braves The battling ex Marine a Yankee standby for more than a decade lashed out a bases-loaded single for two runs In the fifth and then brought those twice-beaten Yankees completely off the floor with a two-run homer In the seventh Those were the runs which carried big Don Larsen-loser In last year's finale back to the winning heights again as he fire-balled and

as they tried to boot the ball out-of-bounds deep on Oregon territory only to have the kick go into the end zone Oregon never seriously threatened in the intersectional thriller play- Hank Bauer NSC Undefeated By Warren Weakland Phoenix Sports Editor NORMAN The detense caught up with new famed Sprint offense Saturday and the No 1 football team had to fight all the way to emerge with a 6 to 0 win over a stubborn defensive minded Oregon University club A fumble late in the second quarter gave the Sooners the break needed to record a touchdown and stay unbeaten in two starts Guard luck Corbitt coming up with the loose pigskin on the 17 Dick Carpenter plowed for five yards on the first play and Bobby Bod went for two on a keeper Jim Carpenter tried next and scooted around the Oregon right flank to put the hall on the nine yard line Then Boyd faced with fourth and two found Teammate Dick Carpenter alone in the corner of the end zone and the Sooners had the only touchdown registered on the score-board Boyd tried to run the ball across Redmen Smash Savages 34-0 TAHLEQUAII Northeastern State College playing before the home crowd for the first time in four games put on a dazzling show of speed and air power here Saturday to outclass Southeastern State College 34-0 It was Parents' Day at Northeastern and Tuffy Stratton and boys disappoint the mommas and poppas who had flocked to picturesque Gable Field to watch the unbeaten 1958 edition In action this chilly night A full house of 3500 fans saw the Oklahoma Collegiate Conference ball game Four of the Redmen touchdowns came through the airways and the fifth was set up with a 65-yard pass play that put the ball on the Southeastern one-yard line en suspenseful innings Larsen didn't match his historymaking no-hitter of 1956 because the recuperating arm which pitched a full game in three months tired and flame-throwing Ryne Dur-en had to come on in the eighth to close it out But record breaking bat out three of the four Yankee hits and running his consecutive World Series hitting streak to 17 straight spelled the difference as the Yankees In eg the defeat on veteran Bob Rush before a roaring crowd of 71599 this warm hazy day Larsen gave it all he and it was plenty while it lasted Ills bulletin? fast ball and baf-filing breaking pitches set eight of those Braves down on strikes and stranded another 10 straining base-runners And It was sterling defensive play In the sixth which choked off the most dangerous Milwaukee threat Then when his six-hit pitching and bat had parlayed the Yankees just two innings from home Duren came on with the fastest and wildest pitch In baseball to turn back those Braves without a hit Bauer started the day on a hopeful note for the Yankees In the very first Inning when he led off with a single for the third straight game beating out a hit to deep short to keep his record streak alive But as Tony Kubek went down swinging Del Crandall whipped the hall to Frank Torre on first and Bauer was picked off base for the second time in series Milwaukee mounted its first threat In the third Inning when with two away Bill Bruton walked on a full count Red Schoendienst followed with a single through short hitting behind Tony Kubek when the youngster broke for sec- Halfback Dan Smith the Sulphur senior threw three point-making passes and caught a fourth Johnny Allen of hometown Tahle-quah tossed one and was on the recievlng end of another that brought about first conference victory The Redmen are 4-0 for the season Twice in the first quarter the NSC club crossed the SE goal-line Operating behind a mammoth hard charging line the Redmen backs churned within striking distance Jfifr The threat was set up by a 53-yard run by Willie West who broke! into the open and had to be hailed1 down from behind on the OU 37 by Gautt and Brewster Hobby Coach Len Rose Bowl representatives of 1958 con-troled the ball through most of the first quarter and stood off three Oklahoma drives inside the 30 in the second before finally giving up a TD through the airways The Sooners won the ball game but had to relinguish statistical edges to the visitors Oregon ran and passed for a total of 261 yards to 156 for Oklahoma The Sooners could complete only three of 13 passes tried compared to eight of 17 for Oregon Oregon undaunted by the OU rout of West Virginia played stow deliberate football all afternoon They started by marching 62 yards to the OU 32 before losing the ball eating up six minutes on the clock as they ran 12 plays and registered four first downs For the first period Oregon had the ball for 31 scrimmage plays compared to 11 for the Big Red The Sooners fared better in the second quarter when they moved the ball twice inside the 30 and once reached the 17 only to falter Jakie Sandefer rushed for 49 yards in four tries for the best running average for the Sooners and Willie West probably the best back on the field this Saturday afternoon chalked up 75 yards in 10 plays best run was for 33 yards West galloped 53 yards for his topper The Score by Quarters-Oklahoma fi 8 4 0 6 Oregon 0 0b 0 Scoring: (3 pass from Boyd) run failed OU Sober Following 6-0 Scare NORMAN Oklahoma Uni-! dressing-room atmosphere was almost as sober as was Saturday following the 6-0 victory by the Sooners over the West Coast team The Sooner players agreed Oregon was one of the toughest teams they had ever met and that OU had a lot of mistakes to correct before next week Coach Bud Wilkinson wiping the perspiration from his forehead said were lucky to win obviously I think our kicking saved us The quick kick was our only good offensive never did think we were as good as ever body else did been trying to explain that for weeks Oregon Just has good speed The coach mused thought our defense was fine Any time they score you have to assume it was We slow' down our attack any They slowed us The dressing room on side had a somew'hat nonchalant atmosphere players were not overly complimentary to OU but gave praise where it was deserved Coach Len Casanova said were well pleased with our showing Oklahoma certainly lived up to expectations think if right halfback Don Lauderslager had been able to hold onto that pass early In the game we could have won the ball game He singled out David Baker for praise think he is the best back ever seen on OU Guard Dick Corbitt who recovered the fumble which set up only touchdown said thought they were the best-coached line ever played against They did all the things our coaches teach us to do and most teams do End Wahoo McDaniel summed up the OU feeling that was one of the roughest afternoons ever been we really played a good ball TUTS PARIS ON GRIDIRON STILLWATER Okla Four members of the Oklahoma State University football team are from US towns named Paris They are brothers Dara and Vandiver Childs of Tennessee Bob Pratt of Texas and Frank Wade of Arkansas for the PAT but Oregon stopped the play The game between the No 1 ranked Sooners and the 19th ranked Ducks was a defensive struggle all the way with savage line play and bruising tackles on both sides Neither club threatened in the seesaw first quarter and it was midway in the second stanza that the Sooners using the same offense that reaped great reward against the Mountaineers of West Virginia last week started to come to life Boyd returned a punt to the Oregon 88 and Jake Sandefer who scampered several times for nice jaunts and Prentice Gautt moved the ball to the 22 before OU erlimiuished possession kicking game kept the West Coasters in the hole all day and the quick kick was one of the best wepaons the Big Red had aU i through the game David Baker quicked one for 65 yards in the first period Wahoo McDaniel footed one for 58 yards I in the last moments of the game Halfback Duane Wood 185-pound senior led the Cowpokes in the first two periods with touchdown runs of seven and six yards Oklahoma State had Wichita shut out

19-yard touchdown pass in the closing minutes OSU broke in front in the first period after an exchange of punts handed it the ball on the Wichita 32 The Oklahomans needed only four plays for their first touchdown with Duane Wood going over from the seven yard line End Jim Wood gave the Cowpokes their next three points on a 23-yard field goal and fullback For- Georgia Tech Rambles Over Green
