SPORT SIGNALS it it By Hal Brown Sporti Editor, The star Who Wanti In Ooba Ooba? H. R. Porter of the Van Cleef and Porter Agency of accuses tWs writer of having droppings getting tired of reading about your fear of Neb and Raska debasing the streets of Porter in a letter. there will be other animals in the parade to add to the substance you enjoy writing about so much. you should write of the story of the time the President spoke to a group of natives in Africa.

After each promise the President made, the natives responded with ooba! ooba! when showing his prise buUs, toe leader cautioned the president not to step in the ooba ooba. and Raska and their covered wagon caused more favorable comment at Dallas last January than the many expensive floats and bevies of pretty girls. Mel Steen wUl probably view the parade from a seat of honor and well he should because he has done much to promote the favorable image of the state. seem to object to the dirty shoes image. This is an agrarian state.

Our main product is beef. Get with it your shoes in the ooba COMMENT Porter apparently misses toe point. the ooba ooba that we are trying to keep our shoes out of. Steen is doing a great deal for the state by using its tax dollars to send the two oxen to Miami. Only If It's One-Way Another letter writer says he will contribute to the fund to send Mel Steen to Miami to clean up after the oxen only if the ticket is one-way.

to your article concerning Mr. Steen and the oxen in a recent issue of the Star: writes R. L. Miller of Tecumseh. suggestion for a collection to send Mr.

Steen to Miami would be especially welcome were it to be one-way transportation. his proclivities as a spreader are much more pronounced than as a one-way suggestion is a great idea and it would be twice as cheap. Any money left over could be used to help sponsor the beautiful float designed for Nebraska. It should also be pointed out that there is no connection between the money being raised for toe float and the money being used to send the oxen. Apparently the oxen fund consists of tax money while the float fund must rely on contributions.

Interest In Ames When Oklahoma State and Oklahoma meet Saturday at Norman, some of the persons most interested in the outcome will be sitting in dormitories at Ames, Iowa. The contest has little meaning except for the participants and for coach Clay Iowa State team. An Oklahoma State win would drop Oklahoma into fifth place and put the Cyclones in the first division. It also would give Oklahoma State a tie for sixth place with Kansas. Figuring that will happen, call it: Oklahoma State 10, Oklahoma 7.

On the first team platoons, Michigan State, Arkansas, Notre Dame and Ohio State received two berths each. Garrett, who set new rushing records, was the leading vote getter with a total of 195, nosing out Twilley, who for the second season in a row set pass catching records, by a single vote.

Nobis, the Texas star who played on both offense and defense, received 187 votes followed by Rassas with 160. Nobis was one of many players who received votes for both the offensive and defensive teams. In each case, all of a votes were credited to him at the position for which he drew the most support. The first two teams are noted for their beef as well as'speed. In both categories they compare favorably with the top professional teams.

The offensive line, led by the 240-pound Ball, averages 210 pounds and well over six feet in height, with Hines the tallest at 6-5.

Griese completed 19 of 22 passes for 283 yards and two touchdowns as he led Purdue to victory over Notre Dame. There are three juniors on the defensive Smith and Webster.

Thanks to Arkansas, the Southwest was represented by eight players on the 44-man squad, placing next to the Midwest on a geographical basis. The Midlands and South had seven representatives each and the Far West and the East three apiece. Only the Rockies of the seven geographical sections of the country was not represented in the all-star selections.

A big thorn in the side of the Bears, and Sayers partic- 1 a 1 was end Ordell Braase, who is expected to return to action at Baltimore after missing the Colt-Detroit Lion 24-24 Thanksgiving Day tie because of injury. Since the Bear setback by the Colts on a disputed touchdown pass catch by Ray Berry, Sayers has been back in high gear. Rookie of the Year bid was improved by his performance last Sunday as the Bears trimmed the Giants, 35-14, in New York.

He scored touchdowns on runs of 45 and 15 yards, threw a touchdown pass that was recalled because of Bear holding, and piled up 113 yards on 13 carries, almost doubling the entire Giants yardage.
