EIOMT BEDFORD (OREGON)
Etose Bowl Victory
Causes Hot Debate
Pasadena, Calif. (U.R) The
Rose Bowl game today again j
was embroiled in an aftermath
of charges and counter charges
following Michigan State's hard-to-believe
17-14 victory Monday
over UCLA scored in the last
seven seconds of the game.
There is no doubt about who
won the game. That's already
entered into the official books,
with a sophomore end named
Dave Kaiser the.hero off his 41
yard field goal just before the
final gun.
But there were some differ
ences of opinion on these cases:
1. Did the official signal an
"intentional grounding of a
pass" by Ronnie Knox of UCLA,
and thus indicate that Michigan
State would have received two
points, because the penalty
would have put the ball in the
UCLA end zone?
& Was there any reason for
the ofiicials slapping a 15-yard
penalty on UCLA, with less than
a jbinute to go, for "coaching
from the sidelines?" This was
the penalty that put the Bruins
back on their own one-yard line
and ultimately led to the Michi
gan State victory.
Coaches Back Official!
According to the coaches, the
officials were right all the
time. The conference rules don't
allow them to criticize an offic
ial. "We were penalized 1J yards
for coaching from the sidelines,"
said Coach Red Sanders of
UCLA. "I understand that it was
one of our assistant coaches who
kept yelling at Knox to pass.
I believe the officials were
right."
Sad Maryland Coach Names
Oklahoma Team Best Ever
Miami (U.R) Coach Jim
Tatum sadly admitted today his
battered Marylanders ust could
not find enough breathing space,
"even with an oxygen tank on
the sidelines," to thwart the
crackling second half offensive
that gave Oklahoma a 2 0-6 4
Orange Bowl victory.
The convincing victory firmly
established Oklahoma as, the un
d i s pxl e d national football
chstfipion, for this game match
ed the only two perfect-record
major-college teams in the
country. Oklahoma had been
ranked No. 1 nationally at the
end of the regular season.
Tatum, often called the na
tion's top defensive genius, con
ceded he'd been soundly troun
ced at his own game by wily
Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma.
Sooners "Finest Team"
'II want to say that in all my
20 years of coaching and five
years of playing, Oklahoma was
the finest foolball team I've
ever seen on a football field,'
Tatum told players and coaches
from both teams at a dinner
Monday night following the big
same which drew a record of
76,561 fans.
"The great delusion before
this game was that Oklahoma
had only an offensive and we
had a fine defensive team. Ok
lahoma has a fine defensive
football team, . . . and defense
is the payoff in football.
"In the first half we got the
feeling that we might win. But
at halftime I said to my players
that Coach Wilkinson was tell
ing his boys, "you haven't let
them have it. You'll have to go
out there and play to win."

Xavier Named Tournament
46th Basketball Champion
By JOHN GRIFFIN
.United Press Sports Writer
The rapidly-closing holiday
season in college basketball to
day crowned rangy Xavier of
Ohio as its 46th tournament
champion, but the emphasis on
the courts now has changed to
conference competition i t h
high-rated Illinois showing the
way.
' Unbeaten Xavier, from Cin
cinnati, stamped itself as a com
ing power by winning the
Queen City Invitational at Buf
falo, N. Y., with a lopsided 92
67 decision over Georgia Tech.
Forty-five other teams won
tourney titles of varying size
during the holiday weeks, led by
such powers as national cham
pion, San Francisco in the Holi
day Festival at New York, North
Carolina State, in the Dixie Clas
sic, Tulsa in the All-College,
Notre Dame in the Sugar, SMU
in the Southwest Conference,
Iowa State in the Big Seven, and
West Virginia in the Orange
Bowl.
Xavier Breezes Home
Xavier, with a 7-,0 mark, ap
peared a worthy foe for any of
these as it crushed Georgia Tech,
the team that upset Kentucky
twice last season. The Ohioans
rolled up a 53-35 halftime margin
and breezed home.
This was the only tourney ac
tion Monday night, and there's
only one more big holiday carni-
MAIL TRIBUNE
On the intentional grounding
of a pass, there still rages a
dispute. If the penalty had been
called, as the official signalled,
then Michigan State would have
been awarded the two points
and there would have been no
need for Kaieer's heroic stunt.
In any event, some of the
most exciting football ever seen
in a post season game w'as crowd
ed into, the last ofew-minutes
of this herve-shatterer.
Bruin Tie Count
Michigan State was leading
14-7 midway in the last quarter
and appeared to have the game
salted away. Then Knox came
into the battle and promptly
tossed a 47-yard pass to end
Jim Decker on the Spartan sev
en. The Bruins scored 'from
there and knotted the count at
14-14. .
But all that did was set the
stage for the fireworks. UCLA
had to kickoff and the Spartans
immediately started a drive to
ward the Bruin goal. It was halt
ed on the 20 and UCLA took
over. But the penalty came and
set the club back on the one
From there Knox finally had
to get off. a kick out to the 40.
Michigan State then started a
drive which eot down to the

tory. the plays so fast our boys didn't
get breathing space, even with
an oxygen tank on the sidelines"
Tatum said.
Modest Bui Moved
Wilkinson, modest as ever
but obviously moved deeply by
his team's great victory, thank
ed his players for "the greatest
heart, the greatest spirit and
the greatest second half I've ever
seen."
"The second half is the bests
we've played this season ... all
we had to do, with Maryland
ahead, was goof a couple of
times and that would have been
Maryland's ball game," said Wil
kinson. It was halfback Tommy Mc
Donald and No. 2 quarterback
Jay O'Neal who sparked the
sizzling second-half comeback
for the Sooners and gave the
national champions their 30th
consecutive win in the fifth
bowl game under Wilkinson.
Maryland's lithe Ed Vereb,
playing with a "nervous and
empty stomach" that kept him
up much of the night before,
and Maryland's rugged defend
ers headed by All-America cen
ter Bob Pellegrini dominated
the first two quarters.

Mississippi
Upsets TCU,
In Bowl Game
Dallas, Tex. IU.R) A quar
terback who was there and one
who wasn't there were the key
figures in Mississipi's 14-13 up
set Cotton Bowl victory "over
Texas Christian.
The man who was there was
Ole Miss' part Cherokee Indian
signal caller, Herman Sidney
(Eagle) Day, whose fourth-down
gamble near midf ield iand clutch
running paved the way for the
victory and earned him the
"Most Valuable Back" award.
The man who wasn't there
was Charles (Chuck) Curtis, who
had guided TCU to a 9-1 season
while favoring a year-old knee
injury only to go crashing out
of the bowl game on the opening
kickoff with two fractured ribs.
No one will ever know wheth
er Curtis could have been any
more successful than his emer
gency fill-in, Richard Finney, at
snapping a bowl - game losing
sxreaK lor tcu that has now
grown to five straight.
Coach Missed Curtis
But, TCU Coach Abe Martin
described Curtis' loss as like
"losing your right arm" or like
"losing .a good agate in a marble
game.
There was no Question that
Curtis' exit gave Mississippi the
chance to load its defensive line
without too much risk of under
staffing its pass defenses. ' Be
cause Ole Miss knew as well as
TCU that Finney, who hadn't
worked a single play with the
first team all season, wasn't apt
to hurt anyone with his passes.
He threw only three and had
two of them intercepted one
that killed the already dwin
dling hopes of a TCU comeback
in the waning moments follow
ing Day's gambling coup that
turned defeat into victory.
Day Tries- Pass
Ole - Miss was trailing 13-7
when Day took his . successful
long shot gamble with a fourth
down pass on the TCU 45. It
clicked for 14 yards to fullback
Paige Cothren and set the stage
for Day to dart 25 more yards to
the five after apparently being
trapped trying to pass.
From there, substitute half
back Ralph Lott skirted end for
the tying points and Cothren col
lected his eighth point of the
day with the winning " Conver
sion. He had plunged three
yards for Ole Miss' first score
and converted in the second
quarter.
All-America Jimmy Swink of
TCU lived up to his reputation
with touchdowns from three and
39 yards out in the first two pe
riods and a 42-yard punt return
that went for naught when the
packed Ole Miss line stifled the
TCU running game. He picked
up 107 yards rushing.

brought cheers from even the
most ardent Tech fan. .
Twice Pitt bore down on the
Tech goal line with relentless fe
rocity, only to be frustrated by
combination of the clock and
the Engineers' throttlehold on a
few feet of vital yardage.
Pass Interference
Georgia Tech pounced on a
pass interference ruling to score
the lone touchdown midway in
the first period and then with
stood the Pitt offensive.
The pass interference ruling
created minor rhubarb.
The interference was called on
Pitt fullback Bobby Gier, the
first Negro ever to play in a
Sugar Bowl football game. Tech
quarterback Wade Mitchell toss
ed a pass to end Don Ellis from
the 33 where Pitt had fumbled
Ellis, on the goal line, dropped
the ball when he and Grier came
into contact. The officials gave
Tech the ball on the one-yard
line and Mitchell - scored two
plays later, adding the conver-
si n.
Grier claimed after the game
that "I was in front of him and
couldn't have pushed him, but he
shoved me a little and it caused
me to fall down."
Knocked Off Balance
Ellis, however claimed that
Grier "definitely shoved me and
it knocked me off balance and
prevented me from catching the
pass."
Neither Pitt Coach Johnny Mi-
chelson nor Pitt Athletic Di-.
rector Tom Hamilton seemed in
clined to pursue the argument.
Both took the attitude that the
"game is over" and' Grier him
self added that the Tech players
"are all fine sportsmen."
