Shrine Engagement
' ' By KICK CUSHINO
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. l-(flF)
A smooth-operating band of cid-
lege all-stars brought the East Its
first football triumph' over the
West In five years Friday, ' edg-
' ing out the westerners 13 to 12 in
spine-tingling charity game be-
fore a near capacity crowd of
. 68,000 in Kezar stadium.
The two teams, evenly matched,
played a. brand of football as wide
, open as a church door, and it was
anybody's ball game until the H-
r nai gun. The - west had power
- aplerty on the hoof and the East
had the edge in fleetness afoot.
but both , outfits took to : the air
. early in this 18th annual Shrine
classic and yardage was reeled off
In spectacular fashion. ''
-- Two great opposing passers,
Colombia's Paul Governali for
the East, and Washington
State's ' Bob ' Kennedy for the
West, turned in handsome Jobs.
Governali tossed one touchdown
pass and paved the way for the
- East's : second score on another
:. aerial thrust. Kennedy, passing
fiercely all afternoon, scored on
'.a lateral and passed a long one
later to act up his (cam's sec
ond tally.
It was a matter of failures at
the try for point after touchdown
that gave the East its first win
:- over the West ; since : 1937 when
- Princeton's Ken Sandback kicked
field goal for a 8-0 victory.
.Speed and aerial trickery were
supposedly the East's main stock
In trade, aif against the West's
bulk, but the way the not-so-famous
westerners tossed the ball
around and cut fancy capers from
their strategic T-f ormation had
the easterners back on their heels
much of the game and forced
them to fight to the last minute
to preserve their narrow edge.
This is the way the touchdown
A period scoring went;
First smarter -Midway In the
period Steve Fllipowlcs, Ford
ham's Mr. Five by Five fallback;
eat through the line for 14 yards
to the west 34. Governali then J
unleashed a beautiful long pass
to end Dave 8chrelner of Wis
consin, who pulled the ball oat
of the sky over the goal lino
. with Westerners swar m I a g
about him. Al King. substitute H
. tackle from Marquette, booted
the Important place kick to
make It 7-9.
Second quarter - The West,
finding the Eastern line a little
"- tough began to shoot passes; Cali
1 f ornia's Jim Jurkovich and Ken
nedy doing the tossing. This aerial
offensive carried the West virtu
ally from its own goal line, where
4 Jurkovich intercepted a pass, to
f the Eastern seven. Here Tom
, Roblin, sub fullback from Oregon,
V lateralled to Kennedy,- who skip
ped around his left end to score.
The place kick try by Willie Za
. palac, Texas A and M quarter
back, hit the crossbar and bounced
back. The East still led, 7-6.
Third quarter The West tossed
a dazzling array of passes, one

oeff, of Washington Stated con-
nectfftg for a touchdown. Susoelf
nabbed the ball on the ten yard
line and stepped over. with no op
position. Zapalac again failed to
convert. This time his place kick
was blocked. The West-led 12-7.
: Fourth quarter In the - fading
seconds -of the previous period,

fumble by Sinkwich that might
have made him the goat of the
contest. . I. - . ... .
Sinkwich had been sent in by.
Coach- Wally Butts ' to take ad
vantage of an open spot close up
in the center of the UCLA sec
ondary. He found it and hit the
big Georgia end. Van Davis, with
two short TP asses that put the ball
on the four. But when Sinky tried
to slide off tackle he fumbled.
Herb j Wiener, the UCLA end,
charged In and fell on the ball.
''. Georgia was not to be denied,
. however, i George Poschner and
Red Boyd charged through on -tho
next play and bounded Into
a punt that had Just left Quar
terback Bob Waterfleld's toe.
The ball skidded out of the field
for an automatic safety and two '
mighty big points. ;
V The capacity crowd of 83,000,
expecting a sensational passing
duel between Waterfield and Geor
gia's slinging duo, the Sophomore
Trippi and the veteran: Sinkwich,.
saw a powerful Georgia line open
big holes through which the Bull
dog running attack covered 212
yards. ' ; .Mt'-.' - r-
It was Trlppl's hard .running
on reverses that kept the UCLA
Une 'pretty close together and
made possible Georgia's 12 suc
cessful passes for 161 yards.
The Bruin linemen weren't able
to play the type of game that
gained them the Pacific coast title.
The Dixie' forwards had the upper
hand. - .They slashed open wide
gaps for Trippi and he cut back
for many good gains.

of 21 yards. Vie Smith to 27,
and altogether the Bruins gained ,
only 37 yards on the ground.

four' good for 62 yards. ; Four
were Intercepted. Clyde Ear-
hardt, sub Georgia center,
swiped two of them.
Late in the . battle, when the
Issue had been settled and Trippi
and Sinkwich were out of there,
Jim Todd and Andy Dudish began
firing passes at the tired Uclans
and had the ball down on the
California seven Just before the
final gun. j , . !
