Scoreboard

P: In the Big Ten, unbeaten Ohio State moved out of the conference for one afternoon, took on the Pitt Panthers, trounced them 26-0 and got ready to buy its squad a fistful of tickets for the Rose Bowl. Michigan, meanwhile, hung on to its thin hope for the Big Ten title by beating Illinois, 14-7.

P: In the Pacific Coast Conference, the high-scoring Bruins of U.C.L.A. demonstrated once more that they are the class of the West and ran away from Oregon, 41-0. But the Bruins are ineligible for this year's Rose Bowl game, and U.S.C. all but earned the job of greeting the Big Ten visitors on New Year's Day by beating Stanford, 21-7.

P: Among the Independents, the unbeaten and untied Hurricanes from the University of Miami blew themselves out and were whipped by Auburn 14-13. The upset reduced the list of unbeaten and untied teams to five: Oklahoma, Ohio State, U.C.L.A., Arkansas and Cincinnati.

P: In the Ivy League, while Harvard beat Princeton (14-9) for the first time in eight years, Yale was humiliated by Army's merciless Black Knights, 48-7.

P: In Manhattan, Yankee Yogi Berra broke a long-standing habit of holding out until late spring before accepting his season's contract. Offered an estimated $45,000, Yogi grabbed for a pen like a catcher going for a squeeze bunt, signed and became the best-paid backstop in baseball.

P: At Lexington, Kentucky's Keeneland Sale, the Aga Khan's nine-year-old bay mare, Masaka, was bought by Horsetrader A. B. Hancock Jr. for $105,000, highest price ever paid for a thoroughbred brood mare at a U.S. auction.
