The eighth-ranked Sooners proved as much Saturday night by coming from behind in the first game of California, ending the defending national champion Trojans' winning streak at 14 games. Only fumbles kept Oklahoma, with a few of their feet through the game, from a victory.
Big Eight champions for a whopping
six victories against one defeat and a tie.
The team is now 2-1.

Mets Can Win NL East Flag With Victory
New York is one game ahead of St. Louis and 1½ in front of Pittsburgh. The Mets play a doubleheader in Chicago Monday and can nail down the division title by winning one game. Pittsburgh also will conclude its season in a makeup game against San Diego at Cardinals, meanwhile, will wait out Monday's games, having concluded their season.
KANSAS CITY - Jack McKeen, the touch-appearing Irishman who manages the Kansas City Royals, definitely has established himself as a leading candidate for American League baseball manager of the year.
The New York MLB climbed a tie in the East by splitting a doubleheader against Chicago, eliminating the Cubs. The Mets won the game and take the nightcap 9-2. Pittsburgh and St. Louis won their games to stay alive. The Nats took the second and St. Louis shaded Philadelphia 3-1.
Baseball's regular season was supposed to end Sunday and for most teams, it did. But it will take at least one more day to the scrambled National League East race.
Elsewhere, two American League East managers finished their tenures on the final day. Rajh Houlk resigned as manager of the New York Mets after Eddie Kidda was fired after four years as boss of the Boston Red Sox. Darrell Johnson was named manager while no successor was named for Houlk.
Hank Aaron stroked three hits, all of them singles, in Atlanta's final game of the year, finishing the season with 713 career homers, four more than his last record. Houston beat the Braves 5-3.

McKeon Best Skipper in AL?
In the other National League game, San Francisco topped Cincinnati 4-3. Los Angeles finished the season Saturday night before Pittsburgh to Pittsburgh for Monday's make-up game.
MKeen, in his rookie season although he doesn't like to be labeled a rookie manager, has guided the Royals to more victories than any other expansion team has scored for history. No other team in Kansas City's 18 years in the major联赛 did so well.

In the American League, Detroit defeated New York 8-5 in Hokk's last game and the final game to be played in 50-year-old Yankee Stadium. Boston better in older games, but Chicago shut out Oakland 1-0 in 10 innings and California blanked Minnesota 3-0.

sox Wednesday night, the Royals put vie-

Rangers Beat Royals In Season Finale
ARLINGTON, Tex. (AP)—Pete Broberg hurled a seven-hit shut-out and Tom Griene and Dave Nelson smashed home runs Sunday night, pacing the Texas Rangers to victory over the Kansas City Royals in the final of the American League regular season.
Broberg struck out eight and walked two.
Broberg struck out eight and walked two. The Rangers scored a run in the first on Dave Nelson's leadoff double and singles by Toby Harrah and Jeff Burroughs.
They added a run in the second on Grieve's leadoff homer, his seventh of the baseball season, and another in the seventh on Nelson's seventh homer.
more than the California Angels won in 1962,
their second season, and again in 1970 in
their 10th year. The aid Washington
won 43 triumphs in their ninth
campaign in 1969.
A year ago, the Royals wound up 16% games behind the champion Oakland A's in the AL's West Division. This year, the A's have won two of their last three weeks, and the Royals, generally picked to finish fifth by the so-called experts before the campaign started, have趴着下载了 more than 80%.
So what is the secret of the success of this persuasive, glib and humorous 42-year-old film?
"One thing that caused us to win," McKeon says, "is that we went to spring training to show our players how to win them." The team did not throw to nothow to run, but how to win.
"Too. I make myself visible in the clubhouse. The players know I'm there and that I'm always available. I like to joke and talk. I'll make sure to keep in communication with them."
“Basically, I think this way: I like to treat my own guys as I wanted to be treated as a player. Through the year, we gained pride and confidence and developed unselfishness among the players . . . the players became more focused, doing the little thing that win games.”
MKeon's best job undoubtedly was with the pitching. He took rookie Dookie Bird and second baseman Aaron Jones, Hooser and Steve Minger, and moulded them into one of the most effective bullpens in the AL. Only Garber was around when he pitched. He worked up a spring. McKenzie stuck with him on a lunch.
"We didn't win the West," McKenna notes, "but we are right on schedule. I thought 90 victories would win it. Oakland just won more. They got three 20-game winners. We got one. Next year, . . . next year, we'll be in a better position, . . . a lot better position."
McKeon never got higher than Class B
baseball as a player but he had been on the minor league scene for 22 years when he was tapped as Royals manager last Oct. 3. Sixteen of those years were as a manager.
When McKeon was named Royals skip, he came up with this rather startling
I'm ready for the major leagues. I don't know whether the major leagues are ready for
No success story about Jack McKeen would be complete without saying he's an eternal optimist. He'll try anything once. He has at least one rare characteristic in his makeup, an open mind. He knows how to handle men. He can come face to face with them in the best tradition of Weaver, Durocher, Ralph Hook, any of them.
McKenon doesn't h垦位 to say he's 100 per cent baseball.
