Bud Wilkinson, Oklahoma's football coach and director of President Kennedy's Youth Fitness Program, said here Saturday he expects more wide open football this fall. "There is a definite trend toward broken formations," Wilkinson told the 17th annual Big 8 Conference pre Season meeting of the league's football coaches and press, radio and TV representatives. i Whether they know it or not, Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris are supplying a big boost to the American economy particularly the telephone companies.

After the second round, a bet is made and the sports department is elected sa umpire. It usually takes hours to dig out the answers. Don't misunderstand. Not all of the callers are in their cups. Some of the questions just sound that way.

I can't imagine anyone betting on whether or not Babe Ruth hit his 45th home run on Saturday or Sunday dad was there, you know, but I can't says the voice) but that's a sample. Public Service Well, anyway, as a public service here are some facts about Babe Ruth's 1927 home run spree, which may come in handy and cut down on the calls: Ruth hit 22 homers in Yankee Stadium. His productions in 'Other parks: Boston 8, Washington 7, Detroit and Philadelphia 6 each, St. Louis and Cleveland 4 each and Chicago 3. Ruth's hottest spree was on Sept.

6th and 7th in Boston. He got 5 in 2 days 2 in the first game of a twin bill on the 6th, one in the second and a pair in a single game on the 7th. From May 28 to May 31, he hit 5 in 4 days. Babe hit two homers in a single game on 8 occasions. Ruth's first homer was off Howard Ehmke of Philadelphia in Yankee Stadium on April 15; his last and most famous, No.

60 off Tom Zachary of Washington in Griffith Stadium on Sept. 30. Favorite Pair Ruth had two favorite pitchers, getting 4 homers off each: Rube Walberg of the Athletics (2, 6, 44 and 14) and Milton Gaston of the Browns (7, 32, 33 and 50.) Six other pitchers were tagged for 3 homers by The Babe: Anton Welzer of Boston (43, 45, 46), Joe Shaute of the Indians (30, 40 and 52); Ken Holloway of the Tigers (28, 29, 56); Zachary (22, 36, 60); Tommy Thomas of the White Sox (18, 31, 37) and Hollis Thurston of the Senators (3, 11, 12.)

The steady Mexicans outplayed the temperamental American teenagers at the net and in the backcourt in a comparatively easy victory. The loss placed the American team squarely on the spot.

McKinley and Bernard (Tut) Bartzen now must sweep their singles matches today to prevent America's international tennis prestige from plunging to a new low. Ralston Riot Ralston, who was a doubtful starter because of a throat infection, was the most tempestuous as he threw his racket to the ground sev eral times, slammed the ball into the net and at one time, swore audibly as he fell on his face after being faked out of position. The display of temper by both Americans displeased the crowd. After the match was completed, the crowd gave the Mexicans a long, standing ovation.

The race is a weekly event at the Tennessee Carolina fairgrounds on the outskirts of this small east Tennessee 6 Fair "You will see the slot for mation, men in motion, split ends and flankers. "This will bring about more use of the 3 deep defense instead of the box defense. Probably 80 to 90 of the teams will be 3 deep, putting up 8 instead of 9 man fronts." Wilkinson said he felt most people misunderstood his Sooner team last year, a team hat finally relinquished its hold on the championship. "Evervone thought it was our quarterback but Mis souri made just 108 more yards than we did.

We ranked 2nd in offense but 7th in de ense. "We have a reasonable number of lettermen coming back, but they were losers last year and you don't improve hat much one year. "If you will notice games at the start of the season, scores are usually close. Lat er on there are big margins. This is because a team that is winning doesn't have any trouble keeping its morale up and working while a losing team does.

"We should be slightly bet ter on defense and if we hang tough we should get better. "We have our best ro shi squad in 3 or 4 years coming up to the Varsity. Bill Van Burkleo could make our back field at any position. He is our No. 1 quarterback.

"You can't play people like Joe Romig 55 and 60 minutes every game. We won't use offensive and defensive units but two teams that can play both ways.

"I have never seen a greater college linebacker than Romig and Teddy Woods improved tremendously in the spring practice.

However, we lost 7 of our starting 11." Iowa State "We must replace 8 start ers," said Clay Stapleton, coach at Iowa State. "Our i loss was Tom Watkins, a great foot ball player.

He won some games for us on i own. Obviously we haven't found a replacement for him. We expect Stapleton to be just a fair football team but we expect to be a good team by 1962. "Unless we can get some changes in the schedule which has us playing Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri in a row we never will move up. It's just too hard for us.

Losing 3 in a row is too hard on Lhdr Saturday pointed for the most Cup history. Great Britain, trying to retain the Cup after scoring a 4 3 victory on home ground last year, entered the two day competition heralded as having its best team since the series started in 1923. But the U.S squad, youngest ever to represent the country, completely took charge on the dreary, windy day at the Saddle Cycle Club. They had a 3 0 lead going into today's windup schedule of 3 singles and one doubles, needing onlv one more vic tory to win the Cup for the 27th time in the 33 matches played between the two countries. Karen Hantze, 18, of San Diego, started off Saturday's sweep by trimming Great Britain's No.
