Exnlodine for scores when they were given the breaks, the Buckeyes demonstrated their championship caliber although the record individual perfor mances were all on the side of Southern California as tailback Aramis Dandoy set a new Rose Bowl punt return mark of 88 yards for a touchdown. But that brilliant broken field Talent Evens Score With Cruiser Five Talent Paced by the shooting of J. Lloyd Wood and Jim Mc Abee and by the backboard work of McAbee, the Talent high cagers played great ball for three quarters Friday night and gained a series split with the Powers Cruisers. Final count favored the Bulldogs 56 to 52. Powers won Thursday 41 to 40. The Bulldogs zipped to an ear ly lead and stayed in front. Per iod scores were 14 to 10, 28 to 14 and 47 to 34. Talent had a 20 point 45 to 25 advantage once in the third quarter. ' In the final portion of the game the Bulldog defense col lapsed. Gary Brady of the Cruis ers got hot and pitched in a num ber of shots from 15 to 25 feet out. Powers in the fourth quar ter began to get the best of the Talent full court press defense to gain two on one offensive sit uations. The Cruisers caught fire at a time two or three substi tutes were in action for the Bull dogs. Wood Scores 25 Richard Spitznass of Powers got the first bucket in the game but when Wood came back with two free shots and a fielder, Tal ent was on top for keeps. Wood scored 25 points and McAbee 20. Brady was high for Powers with 16. Talent has no 6-footers on its team, while Powers has three starters 6-2 to 6-4VS, but McAbee, a 5-11 long - armed, springy legged center, jumped in to get nis share of the rebounds, col lecting 14.

Skinner's Buick was slated to travel to Eagle Point last week but the tilt, which was original ly on the -calender, foe January 3, reportedly was postponed, run and two superlative near record efforts by his substitute, Jon Arnett, were not enough to turn the tide of Buckeye might as-All America halfback Howard Cassady, aided by Bobby "Wat kins and Jerry Harkrader ran up big yardage to keep their lead throughout the game after their initial score. The game was, played under the worst conditions since the 1934 Rose Bowl contest between Stanford and Columbia. Rain fell throughout Saturday's gams and by the second period the numbers on the players' jerseys were obliterated. The potent power of the Buck eyes was displayed from the opening kickoff when they drove to the Southern Cal 14, were penalized back to the SC 19 and Tad Weed missed a field goal attempt from the 27. : - In ' addition to its backs, in dividual brilliant performances were turned in by Buckeye cen ter Bob Thornton, guard Jim Parker, end Dean Dugger and tackle Dick Hilinski. The difference in the teams was best illustrated by the first downs at Ohio State made 21 to Southern California's six. Despite that superiority, the Trojans, fought savagely through out, with guard Orlando Fer- rante showing special brilliance in the line along with center Marvin Goux: and end Leon Clarke. The 13-point margin while proving Ohio State was as good as the two-touchdown margin it rated in pre-game . predictions, did not settle whether the Buck eyes were any better than the mythical national . champions, UCLA, because of the poor play ing conditions.

Hurst, 37, who worked in the Mont gomery probate court's office, and Mrs. Dorothy E. Scott. Bobby Freeman Saturday, but tneir coaches had words of praise for all. "It was our best offensive ef fort of the year," end coach Gene Lorenod said. "We had to be good, because Baylor's Billy Hopper was simply a magician wun tnat call." Childress, the biff, blond farm. boy from Robertsdale, Ala., who put on a one-man offensive show for the 34,408 fans, sauirmed un easily under the praise after sportswriters voted him the game's outstanding player. His efforts amounted to two touch downs, three extra points and an official rushing yardage of 134 in zo tries. "Tough same." he said auietlv "Baylor's about the best we've met."
