seventh victory in the Rom
.Bowl game today because it
turnra in uue ox oaraa in the
hew Year's Day classic with
UCLA's favorite detensive
'weapon, the blocked kick. I
The game's individual hero
' was halfback Billy Wells who
. sparked Michigan State to two
touchdowns in the third period
-and scored a third himself on a
62-yard runback of punt in
the fourth.
. Little Medicine
ine ia-pouna senior was
chosen as the "player of the
day" by a board of snorts writ
ten immediately following
tne game.
Coach Clarence ' (Biggie)
. Munn said the only medicine
i he fed his players at halt
time when they trailed 1 to
14 to set the stage of the two
touchdown splurge In the
third period was a brief
chalk talk and "a little splr-
' It was end Ellis Duckett who

halfback Paul Cameron's punt
- in the second period with leu
than five minutes of pasy re
'maintng. And he scooped up the
"loose ball on the six to score.
.'" Wells then took over in the
'' second half, sparking a 78-yard
, "drive that ended with LeRoy
Bolden scoring from yard out.
' Minutes later the Spartans
"started another drive from
their 27 and Wells went over
..from his own five.
'The Stars
'r The "Menominee Meteor,"
f as Wells was known in Chicago
as a preps ter, brought his day
to a close with a twisting 62-
yard run that ended in a touch
. .down.
As expected, Cameron was
- the UCLA star, even though
.- he had the first pant of his
. college career blocked and
a. the first ever blocked for a
Sanders coached team.
He scored himself In the sec
ond period, climaxing an 18
' yard thrust after another fum
; ble recovery with a two and
half-yard slant to pay dirt. And
in the final period he brought
UCLA to within a point of the
' Spartans with a 28 yard pass to
"'end Rommie Loudd for a touch
" down only to have Wells make
"his long scoring run.

tin, scrappy second baseman
of the world champion New
York Yankees, Saturday was
awarded the Babe Ruth Mem
orial Plaque, voted each year
to the outstanding player in
the World Series.
It marked the fifth straight
year that the New York chap
ter of the Baseball Writers
Assn. of America picked a
member of the Yankees. Joe
Page earned the honor in
1949, Jerry Coleman got It in
1950, Phil Rizzuto in 1951 and
Johnny Mite In 1952.
It was Martin's single to
center, scoring Hank Bauer in
the final game, that gave the
Yankees a 4-3 triumph over
the Brooklyn Dodgers last
October to clinch the series in
six games. Even before he de
livered the decisive blow,
however, Martin had played
the starring role.
Billy's final hit was his 21th
of the series. That matched

"He's a great kid. He was the
best on the field."
To top off his afternoon's
work, Rodgers completed 16 of
26 passes for 195 yards, while
the Mountaineers' heralded
quarterback, Frcdy Wyant, hit
only on four of 15 for 29 yards.
Coach Art Lewis, whose
