Beta Theta Pi Wins Hill Championship
Beta Theta Pi, scoring at will in all four quarters, defeated Pearson Hall 32-0, and thus became the 1955 touch-football Hill champion.
Blocked Punt Brings TD
Darrrell Simpson, Beta quarterback, passed for all five touchdowns and booted two conversions to lead his team to victory.
Blocked punt early in the game gave Beta the possession of the ball on the 13-yard line. On second down, Simpson passed to Jim Armatas for the first touchdown, and
From then on, it was all Beta,
as Simpson passed to George
Hardy, John Lounsbury, and Jim
Armatas for the remaining scores.
Pearson threatened twice by advancing the ball to the Beta one and two-yard line respectively, but a strong Beta defense put a halt to the sustained drive of the losers.
Bob Moya, who was hard pressed by the Beta line all afternoon, and Bob Cristler, Pearson's most consistent pass receiver, played well for the losers.
Moya Plays Well
However, it was the Beta's strong defense, overpowering offense, and the ability to come up with the right play at the right time which brought victory and the Hill championship.
Bv UNITED PRESS
NEW YORK—Oklahoma's split-T powerhouse picked up increased support as the No.1 college football team in the United Press ratings today with one week left to decide the mythical national championship.
OU Still Holds Top UP Spot
Coach Bud Wilkinson's Sooners now seek an impressive victory over Oklahoma A&M in their season finale Saturday to solidify their claim to the national title. If successful, it will mark the second time in the past five years that Oklahoma wins the top honor.
Spartans Second
Twenty-two of the 35 leading coaches who comprise the United Press rating board picked the Sooners as the No.1 team this week. Second-ranked Michigan State attracted six first-place votes; Maryland and UCLA, which ranked third and fourth, respectively, each had three first-place votes, and seventh-ranked Texas Christian received one.
Ohio State's 17-0 upset victory over Michigan produced the biggest shakeup in this week's top 10. The result boosted the Buckeyes two notches to the No. 6 ranking behind Notre Dame. Michigan, which led the ratings for four weeks this sason, dropped out of the top 10 for the first time.
Following Texas Christian, which retained the No. 7 rating, came Texas A&M, Georgia Tech and Navy, each advancing one place from last week. The midshipmen returned to the top 10 after an absence of two weeks, even though they were idle last week end.
The shrimp industry provides a livelihood for approximately 15- 000 fishermen and contributes to the income of another 15,000 employees in some 600 shore establishments, the Fish and Wildlife Service says.
Camelis, yaks, goats, water buffalo, ewes and reindeer are used as a source of milk in some parts of the world today.

Texas Wins Cross-Country
Faurot Shoulders Blame For Losses
AUSTIN, Tex. (U.P.)—Texas won the Southwest Conference cross-country championship yesterday for the second straight year. Texas A&M finished second and Arkansas was third.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — (U.P.)— Coach Don Faurot has forced the blame for a losing season of football at the University of Missouri.
"The boys played hard all season, and if anyone is to blame, I'm to blame for it," Faurot explained. He made his remarks last night during an appearance on KOMU-TV, the university's television outlet.
But the mentor, who last week completed his worst season in 20 years as a coach, aimed a few arrows at recruiting practices in other schools.
out of state unless you are willing to break the rules, ordinarily," he commented.
"You can't get good boys from
Asked why the Tigers don't get better in-state talent, Faurot said, "I think the fault is that we are outbid. Some teams are going beyond the Big Seven limit."
Faurot said his allegation was hard to prove, but "you'll have to take my word for it".
Faurot expressed little interest in out-of-state talent, explaining that a nationwide buying program would "lose in morale what you gain in manpower."
Faurot repeated his attitude toward a possible ouster as coach. "I have no contract and any time they (the Missouri Athletic Committee) wish, they can replace me, he said.
Bid For AAU Meets
NEW YORK (U.P.)—The excitement of an Olympic year is expected to produce spirited bidding by many cities for National AAU Championship competitions at next month's annual convention, the AAU announced today. Bakersfield, Calif., probably will be "a strong contender" for the coveted outdoor track championships.
What's doing at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft
World Travel in the Jet Age
Carrying forward a great tradition of American leadership in aviation, a team of four world-famous organizations has ushered in a new era in commercial transportation. Between December 1958 and January 1961, Pan American World Airways, who pioneered trans-oceanic air travel with Pratt & Whitney Aircraft piston engines, will put into passenger service twenty Boeing 707 and twenty-five Douglas DC-8 jet transports. This fleet of airliners will be powered by twin-spool axial-flow jet engines, designed and developed by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft.
Some recent engineering graduates are today working on careful analytical studies of the J-57 to provide commercial airline operators with data that will insure maximum performance with operating economies and rugged dependability.
Behind this significant achievement lie countless engineering man-hours. The development of a jet-turbine powerplant with more than 10,000 pounds of thrust, entailed far more than performance on paper. By the time the engine was proved experimentally in 1950, Pratt & Whitney Aircraft engineers had coped with some of the most complex problems of present-day engineering. Just how successfully they solved them is well evidenced by the widespread use of the J-57 turbojet in today's military aircraft for both intercontinental and supersonic flight.
