States final effort a passing flurry that carried it to the M. U. 31 died when defender John Roland smacked quarterback racked up by the middle of the Tiger line, fumbled and tackle Butch Allison got the ball back for the Tigers.

From there, Mizzou uncorked a 22-play, 76-yard drive that ate up 12 minutes, 40 seconds and resulted in nothing. The breaking point came on second-and-10 from the Cyclones 12. Brown tried to circle left end, was trapped and grounded on the 21 by linebacker Mike Cox. Clipping after the play moved the ball back to the 36.

This was one of six passes Lane tried in the first half; he completed only one. In the second half, he went 5-for-8. That wraps up the story of the M. U. offense.

Baseball has thrived on a sense of belonging. Attendance has depended upon the loyalty of fans more than the attractiveness of the sport itself. The feeling in the follower that this is my team is what impels him to attend, to undergo the annoyances of getting to the stadium, finding a parking space, battling crowds, grumbling often over all these but willing to return again and again. Once a baseball club has been identified with a city, it becomes a part of a city and there is great civic pride among the followers in this attachment. It has until recently been accepted as a stable product; the ownership has admitted that there are and always will be lush years and lean years, that a winning team will draw more than a losing team.

Without this sense of belonging major league baseball could not attract enough spectators to make it pay even though there is this new and tremendously profitable lure of television. The sport would soon wear out its entertainment value on the TV screen unless there is continued allegiance on the part of the followers. Fundamentally it is the crowd that makes the sport. If baseball were played to empty stands the telecasts would mean nothing. It is this point that the men in charge of the clubs and the league officials may overlook.

It has been confidence in the sport by the public that has maintained it. If confidence is destroyed then there wont be any grumbling fans any longer. There just wont be any fans. They wont care and once they cease to care the sport will end as a major one. Would Set a Precedent in Baseball IF the ownership of the Braves succeeds in getting the injunction lifted and the National league gives permission for the move to Atlanta this will become the first instance that a city with only the one major league club has been deprived of it.

When the Braves were transferred to Milwaukee there were two teams in Boston and the fans there could console themselves with the Red Sox; there were two in St. Louis when the Browns were switched to Baltimore, two in Philadelphia when the Athletics were shifted to Kansas City, three in the New York area when the Dodgers and Giants pulled up stakes for the West coast. When the Braves were acquired by Milwaukee they were facing a financial collapse. The last year that the Athletics played in Philadelphia they faced a growing stack of unpaid bills transportation, hotels among them. They could not possibly have survived.

The attendance was barely 300,000, The National league was given a spectacular shot in the arm by the paroxysm of delight on the part of the fans in Milwaukee and the response among the fans here was a great financial help to the American league even though the team itself did little to encourage this support. One can then understand the deep resentment in Milwaukee over what almost certainly will transpire unless a permanent injunction opposing a transfer to Atlanta is obtained. And yet even while one sympathizes with the chairman of the board of supervisors of the County of Milwaukee, Eugene H. Grobschmidt, in his efforts to block the transfer is struck by a recent comment this chairman made to the effect that if the Braves are lost he will make an effort to induce some other team to replace the Braves in Milwaukee. Thus it becomes a game of grabs with teams moving from one city to another whenever a better proposition is made, whenever a new stadium is built, wherever a more lucrative television network can be arranged.

U. Line Tough Portland, Ore. (AP) Inspired Oregon State unleashed a fast-striking offense, challenged powerful Syracuse head-op, and ran off with a 31-13 upset victory yesterday in an intersectional football game. Eighth-ranked Syracuse scored first on a 55-yard play, then crumbled under an aggressive O. S.

U. attack that rolled up a 24-7 half-time lead on the passing of sophomore Paul Brothers and some quick-hitting ground plays. It was sweet revenge for the once-beaten Staters, who had lost to Syracuse, 31-8, last year. Quickness helped the Beavers offset the Syracuse weight advantage. Jim Nance and Floyd Little, the strong Syracuse backs who had made 14 touchdowns between them, often were nailed before they could get past the scrimmage line.

A pass interception set up an Oregon State field goal and a poor Orange punt led to an O. S. U. touchdown. Good punting by Oregon State kept Syracuse a long distance from the goal.

But the passing of Brothers was what tore the Syracuse defense apart.

Then we kioked at the pictures and we got a better conception of just how tough Oklahoma State can be. Our coaches took their players man by man and debated just how many could play with us.

We were surprised at the total. The coach had one closing comment and that had to do with the playing field, which he considered terrible. Its not the fault of the groundskeeper, Dan said. Hes done his best, but what we need is to have all this field torn and then resodded. Its full of holes and it had to interfere with Uie best work of all the players.

The Missouri coach had lavish praijse for Iowa States Tom Vaughn. He is an all-American if I ever saw one, he said. We had our kickoffs well covered but the way that guy barreled up was something to see. The Tigers, said Stapleton, played good and typically sound football. They were well coached and solid.

And, Devine added, there wasnt a single personal foul although the boys played this one for keeps. Its always that way when the Tigers and Cyclones meet. Missouri-Iowa Stale Statistics A Thrillin" Story by Milwaukee Fans THE decision is left to the owners and quite obviously one owner will make no effort to block a move of another owner if he wants later to move his own club. Yet if major league baseball reaches the point where moves are made after every losing season at the turnstiles there can be no stability. And, more importantly, there can be no strong attachment on the part of the followers.

These attachments are built up through the years and would be discouraged if there was the feeling that a club will remain in a city only so long as its ownership shows a profit. It is not that anyone expects ownership to sustain a period of losing years after every effort has been made to arouse attendance with both an entertaining team and sound promotion. If that is done and the public still fails to respond the only recourse is to move. But the history of the Braves in Milwaukee has been one of the most exciting stories in the annals of the major leagues. Quite likely, now that there is an American league franchise in the Twin Cities the Milwaukee area, restricted as a result, can never do as well again but even this past season there was an increase at the gate.

In his recent appearance before the National league club-owners Chairman Grobschmidt went into detail on how Milwaukee has supported the Braves. The history of the Braves success in Milwaukee, and throughout the National league, has been built around a bonanza of paid attendance in Milwaukee, he told the owners. Never before, in any sport, did a city welcome a sport as Milwaukee did the Braves and professional baseball in 1953. The Braves and major league baseball were taken to the hearts of every Milwaukeean and Wisconsonite from the day they arrived, and an all-time league attendance record was set that first year. No city, even with their greatest and most colorful championship clubs, has ever done better in 78 years of league play.

The owners were handed copies of comparisons between the attendance of the Braves since 1953 and that of the Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals. Over this period the Braves had drawn 18,996,319, the Cubs 9,429,374 and the Cardinals 12,195,743. Since 1953 only the Dodgers have surpassed the Braves with their total of 20.956.637, of which some 13,000,000 has come since they moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. During these years the Phils have drawn 10,977,784, the Tirates 11,528,911 and the Giants 14,473,348 with 9 million of fhis coming since they moved from New York to San Francisco.

Since the Colts have come into the league at Houston they have averaged 805,316, the Mets an astounding 1,161,407 in New York. The Braves surpassed the two million mark in four years, the Dodgers in five. No other club in the National league ever has reached that figure. So the fans in Milwaukee have great reason to resent what is happening. They took the Braves to their collective hearts and then once the ardor cooled preparations were started for a move of the franchise.

Baseball exists on public good will and it has made some efforts in the past to both create and maintain this. It cannot possihly exist without it. ers, rolling to their sixth triumph, erred frequently in the opening period and Colorado scored first on Frank Rogerss 21-yard field goal after John Marchiol intercepted a Churchich pass on Nebraskas 25. Nebraska turned the tide quickly in the second quarter as Churchich flipped a 53-yard pass to Kent McCloughan for the Comhuskers first touchdown Hale Irwin, Colorado quarterback, appeared to have a cinch interception on the play but he bubbled the ball right into the arms of McCloughan, who rambled 40 yards into the end zone untouched. In the third period hard-charging Nebraska linemen knocked Rernie McCall, Colorado quarterback, loose from the ball on his nine and Mike Grace recovered to open the door for the Cornhuskers second touchdown two plays later on a 2-yard run by Frank Solich.

The Cornhuskers hit for their third touchdown midway in the fourth period after Harry Wilson took a short pass and ran 30 yards to Colorados 21. Four plays later Churchich sneaked over from the two. The speedy Nebraska backs outlegged Colorados defense and turned the ends for long gains. Colorados running game was changed by the sturdy Nebraska line. The Buffs were minus 19 on the ground in the first half.

Nebraskas powerful defense sparkled in the third period when Colorado failed to make a first down although getting possession of the ball three times. Colorado, suffering its fifth defeat in six games, found even Nebraskas third team too sturdy and made no progress in the last eight minutes against the reserves.

Yet, said Devine, this was a typical Iowa State-Missouri game. I think Stapleton had his boys hitting harder than they have all year, he praised.

But that just proves that two bands of football players can knock the hell out of each other without getting dirty. This victory was not achieved without some misgivings at times on the part of the Missouri coach. The faked place kick in the first half is an example. Re member last year when Iowa State drove down and then came up with that fake pace kick play and it didnt work. We tried the same thing ahd it didnt work.

That failure haunted Dan for a while. Could the same fate which overtook the Cyclones wrap its tentacles around the Tigers? The Tigers just about exhausted their repertoire of offensive ground plays in the first half, the coach admitted. We kept trying to find something that would work, he said. We ran the gauntlet of our plays. Actually, the Cyclones were waiting for us to make a mistake and the Tigers were waiting for the Cyclones to make a mistake.

On the one for the touchdown which Charlie Brown caught in the end zone the passer, Gary Lane, knew that the Tigers had the ball in front of the goal posts and it meant a field goal attempt in the event this pass failed to click.

And so there was all the maneuvering, giving Brown, a secondary receiver in this instance, a chance to get in the right spot and unopposed by any defender. The Tigers lacked enough power to make any sustained use of a ground attack. Devine agreed. They can go just so far and then the drive bogs down. It was the insertion of the pass and its frequent saves from a touchy situtaion which, in the final analysis, made the difference.

1 The Missouri line play, the coach thought, continued to show improvement, but in looking ahead to the game with the Nebraska Huskers he admitted to some legitimate fears. The Huskers have better physical strength than we have, he said. We lack just enough in size and strength to make us as formidable as we would like to be. But we do continue to do better. Devine said he wasnt at all surprised at the difficulty the Kansas Jayhawks encountered against Oklahoma State.

I believe that most Big Eight followers failed to appreciate the great athletic program at Oklahoma State and how this might be reflected in this years team, he said.
