The Norman Transcript from Norman, Oklahoma • 1

PRICE its I ever speed, skies DAILY to to up depth Saturday 5c watch a witness and the SUNDAY before To Church Today VOLUME 67, NUMBER 69. From The Press Box Ever wonder what human drama lies behind those terse, emergency calls announced over the loud speaker at football games? Two of those calls heard by Saturday's Owen Field crowd tied into one story with a happy ending. Bill Pearce, 829 W. Symmes was working at the game as a spotter for Transcript photographer Frank Garner. During the first quarter, a call was announeed for Doctor Number 52 to report 1 to Norman Municipal Hospital.

Expecting trouble, Pearce pricked up his ears. Sure enough, by the end of the quarter, another call came, this Pearce to report to the hospital. By the time Pearce arrived, after a taxi around the south, west and north outskirts of Norman, the doctor had left the hospital and was on his way back to the game. Mrs. Pearce, however, was doing fine and so was their new 8 pound, 9 ounce baby boy.

The new father returned to the football game in time to work the entire fourth quarter. Said Pearce, who has been through this twice before with two other sons, "My wife was still unconscious and there wasn't a thing I could do except stand around and smoke cigarettes." It was halftime. Oklahoma led 19-0. Press box followers of the Panthers were steeped in gloom, to say the least. "What would you tell them?" Pitt publicist Robert Wycoff asked Frank Carver, graduate manager of athletics and former publicist.

"The plane leaves at 6:30," Carver replied. "You better be on it or you'll get killed!" Public address announcer Bruce Drake's wit during the OU-Pitt game Saturday threw one female spectator for a loss, at least temporarily. When a Pittsburgh back was stopped by the entire left side of the OU line, Drake remarked that tackle was made by Jeff House." "Jeffhouse!" the woman exclaimed, thumbing rapidly through the roster of OU players in her program, "what's he mean Jeffhouse? They don't have body listed by the name of Jeffhouse! That announcer's all wet!" Another spectator finally turned to explain that Jeff House is an abbreviation for Jefferson House, where most of the OU football players live. Observing birthdays today are Mrs. Dora Dunlop, Kathryn Tullius and Bobby Wilkerson.

Celebrating Saturday were Paul Updegraff, T. L. Morrow, Linda Lou Langly, Donna Jean Church, Betty Lou Dodd, E. L. Marti, Ed (Fats) Morton, Mrs.

Ford Michael and Henry Whitaker. Friday birthday greetings go to J. B. Hood, Raymond Tunnard, Mike Ralls and Mrs. Bob Isom, and belated greetings are extended to Jerry Conkling, who celebrated Thursday.

State Fair Closes With Financial Loss OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 1 (P) The 1955 Oklahoma State Fair closed tonight after a rainy week to become the first post-war exhibition here to lose money. Fair officials attributed the letdown from last year's 416,677 attendance to the weather and the still unfinished fairgrounds. Final admission figures, expected to barely exceed 300,000 will not be announced until tomorrow. Today in Norman Weather reading: Saturday high, 77.

(Transcript Photo by Frank Garner) OU's Third Largest Crowd Defies Skies By A throng officially estimated add to its record of gridiron by pouncing on the Pittsburgh Dreary, threatening skies bringing along rain gear of temperatures in the high 70s Expected rains never did materialize during the afternoon, a fact appreciated equally by participants and viewers. If the attendance estimate of 000 holds up under rigid bookkeeping inspection of Kenneth Farris. athletic business manager, it will be the third largest crowd ever to witness an Owen Field fray. Santa Clara Highest Higher attendance marks were set at the 1949 Santa Clara game, when 60,145 persons were admitted, and the 1953 Notre Dame bout, when 59,461 watched.

The Santa Clara figure is one which is destined to remain a record, until the football accidents did not Those gloomy, predictions about come true Saturday, at least not in Norman, police records show. Only six accidents were listed for Saturday, and two of these were in the morning, well before football traffic began to converge on city streets. The accidents were minor, with fenders and chrome accessories taking the punishment. stadium is enlarged, because of restrictions by the fire marshal. Despite the grayness of the overcast.

the pigskin spectacle was colorful, thanks to the brilliant red and white uniforms of the Sooners and equally bright blue and gold suits of the Panthers, patterned against the rich green turf with neatly-marked white stripes. Pitt Nips Boredom After the Sooners amassed a 19- 0 lead during the first half, Oklahoma partisans sat back and even became a trifle bored with the proceedings. An apparently rejuvenated second-half Pittsburgh team punched to two quick touchdowns, jolting the crowd out its apathy and creating a tense final 10 minutes of play. When the Sooners added an insurance touchdown to make the score 26-14 with 1:02 minutes remaining in the game, fans began moving down the ramps and out of the stadium. The gridders rewarded the faithful who kept their seats, however, with an exciting, though fruitless, play in the final seconds of the contest.

Run Called Back Third stringer Hugh Ballard snagged a Pitt pass and streaked down the sidelines and over the goal line. The would-be touchdown was called back, however, by a 15-yard holding penalty against the Sooners. With three seconds remaining, Quarterback Jimmy Harris, still trying for the extra tally, passed to McDonald and the ball was (Continued on Page Two) County Chest X-Ray Program Will Get Under Way Monday The Cleveland County chest ray campaign will begin Monday with every person in the county over 14 years old invited to participate in the program.

AP and NEA SERVICE 58,000 See OU Smack Ponderous Pitt 26-14 President Keeps Gaining Strength After One Week DENVER. Oct. 1 (P)-President Eisenhower was pictured as making very satisfactory progress toward recovery today one week after his heart attack. He probably will be permitted to sign additional federal documents in the next few days.

The White House stressed that the Presidents physicians will continne to have absolute control over how soon he returns to active command of the government. Begins Signing Papers After talking with the doctors, Press Secretary James C. Hagerty told a news conference it would be "a fair assumption" the chief executive will be allowed to put his name to more official papers during the next week. Last night the President, still hospitalized, signed two documents -the first business, and it was minor, that he had transacted since he suffered a coronary thrombosis. A medical bulletin from Fitzsimons Army Hospital at 7 a.

m. and another at 11:15 a.m. continued to paint an encouraging if cautious picture. The latter one said: "The President's condition continues to be satisfactory without complications. "The President had his morning cardiograph and it continued to show the usual evolution.

"He continued to remain out of the oxygen tent." Enjoys Quiet Day The oxygen tent, a standard precaution in the early stages after a heart attack, has been removed from Eisenhower's room since early Thursday morning. Still another hospital bulletin at 3:45 p. m. reported that the President was enjoying "a comfortable quiet day" and that he was continuing to progress satisfactorily without complications. Mrs.

Eisenhower visited him briefly at lunch time, then he had his usual afternoon rest period and later listened to recorded music. At his news conference, Hagerty was asked whether a fair summation of the President's condition would be that, as a reporter put it, "he is making very satisfactory progress but is not yet out of the woods." "Of course," said Hagerty in nodding agreement. First Two Weeks Crucial He added he wanted to stress that Eisenhower's physicians have said repeatedly that the two weeks after an attack are the period of greatest danger the time when complications are most likely to occur. Eisenhower's top deputy, Sherman Adams, took over direction of activities at the Denver White House after flying from Washington last night. Adams joined Hagerty at a 90- minute conference with the President's physicians this morning.

Haley Named as OU's Employment Director George P. Haley, counselor in charge of men's housing at OU, has been moved up to the position of director of employment services and an OU graduate, Dr. Jack Balentine, has been called in to fill Haley's post. Haley succeeds Frank Ives, who resigned as director of employment services Sept. 8 to accept a similar position at the University of Colorado.

His resignation became effective Saturday. GEORGE P. HALEY McDonald Earns Spot With Greats Routine Items Facing Council Rezoning of Kunkel Property on Agenda Only a few items of routine business are on the agenda for the City Commission meeting at 7:30 p. m. Tuesday, including rezoning of the Kunkel tract in the 700 block of West Main Street.

The Commission last week rezoned 10 properties in the 600 and 700 blocks of West Main and on Flood Avenue near the intersection. The Kunkel tract, the west half of the north side of the 700 block of Main Street, is to be rezoned from R-1 (residential) to C-2 (commercial). The land is adjacent to the Norman High School grounds. Last week the Commission rezoned the adjacent 10 tracts from residential to C-1 (local commercial). The Kunkel tract is the only property in the area for which a C-2 classification is sought.

This type of zoning is a slightly broader classification than C-1, and permits slightly more extensive commercial use. Commissioners also are expected to approve a formal written resolution thanking Mayor James F. Long for acting unofficially as city manager during August and September. The Commission approved an oral resolution at their last meeting. Mayor Long served as unoffi(Continued on Page Two) Fair Board, of To Meet Monday A joint meeting of directors of the Norman Chamber of Commerce and the Cleveland County Fair Board will be held at noon Monday at the Norman Courts Grill.

Results of election of new members to the Chamber board of directors may be announced at the meeting, according to Dow Damron, manager. Ballots for the election were to have been returned to the Chamber office by noon Saturday.

By JERRY Oklahoma needed all of kick to overcome Pittsburgh 26-14 58.000, the third largest crowd game in Owen Field. The throng sat under brooding functioning at their splendid lead, then almost wilt before the But the Big Red was not to be denied its 21st straight triumph. Leading just 19-14 after the big boys from the East had climbed back into contention, the Sooners found enough vitality to catapult 67 yards 1 in eight plays for the clinching touchdown. Going Again at End And at the end Oklahoma was aimed goalward again after it was denied a fifth counter by a on a touchdown return of an intercepted pass. It was Tommy McDonald's game.

The 169-pound speedboy from Albuquerque, N. earned a place with such OU running backs as Billy Vessels, Buddy Leake and Buck McPhail with a dazzling display which produced payoff sprints of 33 and nine yards and numerous other key gains. In all, McDonald amassed 124 yards on 11 carries to finish with a nifty 11.27-yard aver- age. Completes Two Passes In realizing his rich running po tential, McDonald flashed another weapon, an accurate passing arm. He zeroed in two of five flips for 39 yards, all but 16 yards of the OU aerial net.

But this wasn't a one-man triumph. The Sooners required a concerted team effort to repulse the superbly conditioned, punishing Panthers. When short yardage was needed. there was the bulldozing, Robert Burris: when a block was necessary, there was the improving fullback, Billy Pricer: and when the Panthers had to be stopped, there was a line led by Bo Bolinger, Calvin Woodworth and John Bell to stop them. Speed Beats Power Few Oklahoma elevens have played better than this one did the first 30 minutes.

The first half was a triumph of Oklahoma speed over Pittsburgh power with the Sooners going over from 33, one and 31 yards out. The Big Red went all the way the first time it put the ball in play from scrimmage. Seventyseven I yards in 10 plays the Sooners whipped, with McDonald getting away on the play of the day for the payoff. He angled over his right tackle after Harris had faked to Burris, reversed his field deftly and scored at least 15 yards away from the nearest defender. Harris converted after 6:16.

Burris, Thomas Score One of two interceptions by end Don Stiller started the Sooners again moments later, the sophomore returning 19 yards to the OU 49. A penalty for interference on a Harris pass that quarterback Pete Neft swiped gave the winners a first down at the 10. Burris got the touchdown three plays later from a yard away, Halfback Ralph Jelic blocked Harris' attempted conversion. With 5:05 left before intermission, the Sooners added their third six-pointer. Thomas bolted 31 yards on an inside reverse to cap a 57- yard onslaught.
