Stan Heath, Rossides Set Three New Passing Marks
New York, Dec. 10—(UP)—Stan Heath of Nevada was credited with two new passing records today and hailed as the nation's top passer among the major 1948 college football teams.
Gene Rossides of Columbia established a new passing mark for avoidance of interception. Johnny (Red) O'Quinn of Wake Forest led the pass
Feeyers, and Ellery Williams of Santa Barbara, set two new pass officials in the game. An official statistics released by the National Collegiate Athletic bureau.
O'Quinn caught 39 passes that covered 605 yards and produced seven touchdowns. Williams caught only 21 aerials but his average of 29.6 yards gained on each catch was a new high mark for the major colleges. And he caught nine touchdown throws—also a record.
Heath gained a total of 2,005 yards to break the yardage mark set last year by Charley Conerly of Mississippi. The Wolfpack quarterback's 22 touchdown throws also set a new standard.
Rossides had only three interceptions in 112 passing attempts for the best mark in the 12 years that the N.C.A.B. has kept tabs on college football performances.
Heath, who topped the nation in total offense with 1,992 yards gained solely on passing, completed 126 out of 222 passes for a percentage of .568.

league not go on. Baltimore pulled into a third-place tie with idle Boston in the Eastern division by handing the Philadelphia Warriors an 83 to 78 setback, while the Stags backed into sole possession of second place in the Western circuit as the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons pounded the St. Louis Bombers, 70 to 60.
In other games last night, the Washington Capitols, winner of 15 straight games before Tuesday's startling upset at the hands of the Providence Steamrollers, trounced Minneapolis, 94 to 83 and the New York Knickerbockers won from the Rollers, 83 to 74 in an overtime

George Mikan poured in 34 points and Jim Pollard, 20, but they weren't enough as the Capitols beat Minneapolis.
Colts-Buffs In Sunday Playoff
Baltimore, Dec. 10—(UP)—Baltimore's rags-to-riches Colts moved to within grasping distance of the All American conference Eastern division football championship today, and Sunday they meet Buffalo in a playoff for the title.
Beg Your Pardon
The Colts, who only last season were deep in the league cellar, lashed out in every period to down Buffalo, 35 to 15, yesterday at Baltimore. That placed the two teams in a tie for the division lead at the end of their regular schedules, necessitating the playoff at Baltimore. The winner will meet Cleveland for the league championship Sunday, Dec. 19.
Baltimore's vital victory yesterday evened the series between the two rivals. Buffalo had beaten the Colts, 35 to 17, earlier this season.
Wednesday's University Daily Kansasan erroneously stated that the University of Oklahoma was a co-champion in last year's Big Seven basketball. Instead, they tied for second place with the Missouri Tigers.

"Please kidnap ten best K.U. basketball players and send me bill for expense involved."
Today Dr. Twente replied to the telegram:
"Overlooked K.U.'s 4th stringers. Trinity played good game. K.U. lucky to win."
