Barnes, Hill Bid for Grid Rushing Toga New York lU.E) Fullback Bill Barnes of Wake Forest and halfback Jack Hill of Utah State made final bids today to win the major college individual rushing championship for 1956. Wyoming's Jim Crawford, who completed his season last Satur day, still leads in the latest fig ures of the NCAA Service Bu reau released today but Barnes or Hill could overtake him with stellar performances. Crawford gained 1,104 yards in 200 rushes this year. Barnes, a solid 195-pounder, has a better chance than Hill as he goes against Sputh Carolina at Charlotte Thursday. He has pounded out 992 yards in 161 carries so needs "only" 113 yards to win the title. Hill must come up with a truly great game Thursday if he's to make it. He has gained 826 yards in 125 carries so needs a whopping 279 against Utah at Salt Lake City to top Crawford. Brodia Clinches Passing The NCAA figures reveal that quarterback John Brodie of Stanford, has clinched the pass ing title but that Paul Hornung of Notre Dame can overtake him in total offense. Brodie, who plays his final game against California on Sat urday, has completed 130 of 221 attempts for a .588 percentage, 11 touchdowns and 1,541 yards. Brodie s total offense figure is 1.546 yards in 272 plays but Hornung still can overtake him because Notre Dame has two games left. Hornung's current figures are 1,296 yards in 193 tries.
