On their sixth try, the Tartars stormed to a 33-20 victory over the Presidents Athletic Conference defending BULKY BOB TURLEY will be riding around in Detroit-made splendor any day now thanks to a national sports magazine which annually ships a new car to the gent it picks as the hero of the World Series. There is no dispute over the selection of the strong-armed Yankee pitcher. But he sure owes teammate Elston Howard a couple of rides. It is history now how Turley struck a blow for clean living and enriched every Yankee by something like a $9,000 bonus by pitching in all of the final three games. He won two of them and saved the other one for Ryne Duren, who succeeded Art Ditmar who replaced Don Larsen.

In due process, he worked 16 straight innings of tension-packed baseball and gave the shell-shocked Milwaukeeans exactly one run. But when it was all over and things had quieted down to just a mild riot, the tousle-haired Turley admitted that everything would've been different had it not been for Elston Howard. "He saved me," Turley explained. "I doubt if the boss (Casey Stengel) would've called on me again if Howard hadn't kept me in there in the fifth one. Stengel agreed.

"I guess that's right," he added. "If Howard don't catch that ball on his belly and make the doubleplay, I gotta get my man here out of there. You ask me if I would've come back with him later.

Scotland BY MARSHALL DANX Free Preas Stuff Writer PHILADELPHIA Punch-less in the clutch, a frustrated University of Detroit football team dropped a painful 7-0 decision to Villanova before 7,695 fans Saturday afternoon. The Titans raced for yardage all over the Wildcats' Goodreau Stadium. But they never got closer than 13 yards to the goal line and bowed by the margin of a wacky, first-period touchdown. This was the defeat which administered the big letdown to Titan supporters. IT WAS THE first setback since Air Force punctured the U-D balloon with a-37 6 knife.

But that proved to be a mismatch while this time the Titans were up against a team that was no better, no worse. Along the way, the true U-D weakness was exposed brutally. It had been said that the Titans were a team that wouldn't pass. Now it was shown that they can't pass. Three key interceptions and three costly lost fumbles tell why U-D never was able to score.

A blocked kick hurt, too. BUT THE REAL damage came when the U-D apparent touchdown drives were stalled by the Wildcat defense, the ball going over once at the 26, again at the 20. and later at the 13. A little luck might have helped right there. Twice, workhorse Bruce Maher was called on in the crucial fourth-down situations.

And both times he missed his objective by mere inches. Never in these moments when a favorable situation might have developed did the Titans make any serious threat through the air. It had to be on the ground, or nothing and it was nothing. The Titans carried an edge in the statistics which usually are important. They had more first downs, 14 to 10, and more total yardage, 25S to 251.

VILLANOVA boasted one of the best option-play men in the east in Grazione, but this day he chose to stay.on the ground, trying only eight passes and completing just, two one for the touchdown. Capt. Lou Faoro, who had displayed at least adequate passing in three earlier games, never tried an aerial in the first quarter even though Vil-Iqnova had suffered its only defeat (3r-6 from VMI) because nf pass defense weaknesses. Finally Faoro tried 12 passes. Seven were caught four by teammates and three by opponents.

Two of the interceptions were key ones in the last four minutes. Detroit had first down and 3t yards to go for a touch down with 3:48 left, but a Faoro Princeton Sub Beats Pcnn, 20-14 PHILADELPHIA (ft Sub sparked thre.i Princeton touchdown drives Saturday as the Tiger3 came .11 om behind with less.

He Wasn't a Hero Then IT WAS TURLEY who started the opener. He was able to fool Eddie Mathews on a called third strike, an accomplishment of little value inasmuch as everyone else did the same thing to the tune of a record-setting 11 times.

But that was Turley's only out in the opener. The first batter hit a homer. The second one doubled. Mathews fanned. Hank Aaron walked.

Wes Covington singled and Turley was reaching for the bar of soap before most of the customers had arrived for the game. He was charged with four runs in one-third of an inning and his World Series earned-run average was a sensational 108. Nobody saw burly Bob anymore until the fifth game. He was strong in that one. But he was leading by the skinny margin of 1-0 in the sixth inning with the Braves needing only that victory to win the Series.

The leadoff batter singled before Howard pulled his game-saver with his nosedive catch of Johnny Logan's looping liner and turned it into a doubleplay. The next batter followed with another hit. But Turley had been saved. So had the Series for the Yankees. If Howard hadn't made that one great play, Turley Villanova went all the way back to score, using 10 play to do it.

Along the way the Wildcats overcame a 15 -yard clipping penalty, but they also were blessed with a 15-yard holding penalty against Detroit which took the ball to the nine. END GENE O'Pella was surrounded by a flock of Titan 0-29 at Hali-SMU, 32-19 COLUMBIA, Mo. Aft The Southern Methodist University Mustangs, flat and trailing by 39 points at the half, caught fire on the passing of two reserve quarterbacks and smacked down the Missouri Tigers, 32 to 19, for their first victory of the season Saturday. It was an about face for both teams. Missouri did all its scoring in the second period.

i i nu i i gerald for the score on a The tall, jrraying Philadelphia To Craig Rides 4 Winners On Final Program BY AL COFFMAN It started out as a thrilling three-way duel for the Hazel Park jockey championship Saturday and it wound Tip as a runaway for Howard Craig. The hard-plugging rider from Royal Oak, foiled in -a bid for the title on closing day two years ago when Johnny Sellers beat him out by riding six winners, finally reached his goal with a four-winner outburst. ALREADY THE champion rider at the Detroit Race Course earlier this summer, "Happy Howard" climaxed a brilliant comeback at the Hazel Park Race Course for a sweep. Going into the last nine races of the 1958 season, Craig was tops in the jockey standings at Hazel Park, but by the narrowest of the margins. His total of 44 winners was only one ahead of Herb Hino-josa and two more than Robert Lee Baird.

It looked as if the race might go down to the very last race. All three contenders were on "live" horses. Craig, a strict businessman, took no chances on history repeating. He waited for no Johnny Sellers to drop out of the clouds and beat him. HE WENT right out and stunned his rivals and most of the 16,803 fans by riding both ends of the daily double on a couple of horses few of the chalkplayers reckoned with Hunters Dream and Gladis Gaines.

Hunters Dream, a newcomer from little Cranwood Park in Cleveland, came booming down the stretch on the rail to win the opener at $11 for $2 and then Gladis Gaines charged up on the outside to capture the second at $50.40. Now Craig was three winners in front and sitting pretty with a $251.40 dally double to his credit, but he wasn't through by any means. "Happy Howard" subsided for a couple of races before catching his second wind. Then he popped up with Miss Glory, a 6-1 shot in the $3,500 season's end purse for two-year-olds. It was a whirlwind finish Miss Glory, Bobamar and Pacific Jeep all hitting the wire heads apart.

AS THE PIECE de resistance Craig turned in an upset ride on Mrs. G. C. White's Even Stroke in the $15,000 Auld Lang Syne Handicap. Even Stroke, galloping winner of his last two starts at 6J2 furlongs, looked every bit as impressive in negotiating 1 116 miles against fast company.

He paid $10.80. The final urore (showed Craig with 48 winners far short of his league-leading mark of 68 at the DRC, but five up on Hinojosa and six in front of Baird. In the statistical department pertaining to attendance and betting, the track drew 691,273 fans who bet $41,436,788 in 59 days. Compared with 1957, when Hazel Park ran 62 days, the averages were down a trifle from 11,814 to 11,717 at the gate and from $724,000 to $702,318 at the mutuel windows. Round Table New Champ CHICAGO (UPI) Round Table became the world's top all-time money winner Saturday when he breezed to a 2Vi-length victory over Swoon's Son in the Hawthorne Gold Cup and set a track record en route.

The four-year-old bay colt, who had tried and failed three times this season to cop the money -earning championship, fought a close battle with Swoon's Son from start to finish. SWOON'S SON. bidding to become the fourth millionaire thoroughbred in history, broke in front and set the pace until the field of six hit the, turn for home. Round Table, under the expert urging of jockey Willie Shoemaker, nosed ahead of Swoon's Son as they completed the turn and, by mid-stretch, had a two length lead. He extended it another half length and went under the wire to add the winner's share of $73,250 to his previous earnings.

The winnings boosted Round Table's three-year purse collections to $1,336,364, or $14,739 better than Nashua's earnings. Round Table, property of Travis M.

Along the 1 way, Grazione legged 26 yards after being trapped in a pass attempt, and he made 32 more yards on a pass to a phantom halfback the Titan defense barely noticed. Grazione's 26 -yard escape run and his 32-yard pass to Dave Intrabartolo accounted for much of the yardage. Yet there still might never have been a touchdown. En route, halfback Frank Ficca fumbled wii.h Maher recovering for Detroit.

But this was the play wiped out by Detroit's holding penalty. SINCE IT was early (only 9:26 into the game), the Titans shrugged off the TD and went to work. They moved from their 20 to the Wildcat 20 on 13 straight running plays. Maher missed end Denny Flynn in the end zone on third down and fullback Joe Pascuzzi lost a fumble on the next play when the Titans would have yielded on down anyway.

After that Detroit didn't have another chance until the two pass plays backfired in the final four minutes. The Titan defense took care of the Wildcats, who penetrated the Detroit 20 only once on the TD drive. But there wasn't an offense to match.

TITAN TOPICS: Center Joe Ivkovich and fullback Vic Hen-ning, both starters, were hurt early They were on the bench in street clothes throughout the second half. Maher was the Titan yardage leader for the fourth straight game he carried 23 times for 90 yards, boosting his season total to 315 yards Ray Davis, promoted to first-string right half, was next with 44 yards. Grazione, easily the outstanding player on the field, ran 17 times for a net of 91 and completed two passes for 40 yards.

Harvey White scored moth touchdowns, the last one with nine seconds Oklahoma Toppled By Texas Continued from First Sports victory in this storied series for the first time since 1951. The loss was Oklahoma's second in 54 games. The Sooners had won five in a row since Notre Dame ended their 47- game winning streak last year.

MORE THAN 76,000 fans jammed into the Cotton Bowl for the gripping struggle. Texas led for three quarters, but Oklahoma took back the lead on the grab of a Texas handoff fumbled in the air by Sooner guard Jim Davis, who lumbered 24 yards to a touchdown. And then came the great surge of the Longhorns as time was running out. The deciding Texas touchdown was made on a pass from the busy Lackey to end Bob Bryant from the Oklahoma five-yard line. The stands were hushed as the tall Longhorn quarterback stepped to the line and plunked the ball between the goal posts.

Then pandemonium broke loose. Oklahoma was to threaten again and Lackey was to intercept a desperate Sooner pass in the last minute to halt that last effort. But the Texas fans could hardly wait for the chance to tear down the goal posts. This is a tradition of the game but Oklahoma has been doing it for t.ic last six years. TEXAS SCORED a touchdown in the second period on a 10-yard pass from lefthanded Rene Ramiroz to George Blanch.

Finally, the Sooners, who abandoned their fancy stuff the offense for straight in their great eff rt to pull outthe came, got a touchdown on a five-yard rue by Dickey Carpenter. Quarterback Bobby Boyd tried to pass to Jerry Tillery for the conversion, but the throw was low.

Then, early in the fourth quarter, came the great play by Davis, a 210-pound youngster from Tyler, Tex. Texas had the ball on its 24, where it had taken over. Lackey tried to hand off to Allen and before the latter could get the hall, the guard grabbed it and ran to the touchdown. Boyd passed to Tillery for the extra point.

He's a Second-String Catcher IT'S A SAFE BET that he never would have been called on again either to help save the sixth game or to come back in to win the finale. There is irony in the fact that Howard played such a dominant if unsung role in the Series. He is an excellent catcher. Bill Dickey, who should know about such things, insists he is a better catcher than Yogi Berra. Howard is not a great outfielder.

He says so himself. Adequate, but nothing more. He has been playing in the shadow of the squat Yogi ever since he joined the Yankees four years ago, simply because Stengel wants both of their bats in the lineup and doesn't want Berra in leftfield. On any other team.in the majors, Howard would be the No. 1 catcher.

On the Yankees, he is a substitute outfielder and not a great one. But this one great play saved the Series for Turley and the Yankees and so stunned the Braves that they collapsed like the one hoss shay. In winning their three games, they scored 20 runs. In losing four, they scored but five times made six errors and struck out so many times that the stiff breezes, which blew footballs all over the place Saturday, were the direct result. It was the wind that the Yankees took out of their sails.
