Arkansas, personally accounted
for three touchdowns Saturday
ai?he powered the West to a sur
prisingly easy 27-13 upset over
the heavily favored East in the
33rd annual Shrine game.
With Stanford's Jackie Doug
las calling the signals and doing
an important bit of spot running
himself; and Halfback Jim Shof
ner of Texas Christian doing a
fine ball-packing and kicking
job, the West went ahead in the
first quarter and was in charge
throughout.
For hi3 standout performance,
Nesbitt was voted the "outstand

Baylor to two-time all American
lex Karras of Ohio all day,
1on the "lineman of the game"
(award.
o Playing before 60,000 fans in
light drizzle, Nesbitt was al
most unstoppable as he scored
in the first quarter on a one
yard lunge; counted again in the
third on an eight-yard power
drive over tackle; and then cap
ped the performance by taking
an eight-yard pass in the end
tone for another score early in
tiie last quarter.
This show put In the shade
(some fine work for the East by
itlalfbacks Kowalczyk of Michig
an State and Bob Mitchell of Il
linois: and End Fred Dugan of
Dayton.
The West was in front 13-7 at
fbe half and boosted the margin
right away to 20-7 in the third
period when Douglas kept a 37-
yard drive going on third down
quarterback "keep" plays with
runs of 14 and nine yards. That
set up Nesbitt's score.
The East didn't give up, how
ever, and Quarterback Trimarki
f West Virginia struck back
rthre minutes later by hurling
a 35-yard touchdown pass in the
end zone to Dugan.
The other second half touch
down came after a 78-yard drive
P by the West with the payoff an
J eight-yard pass from Douglas to
Hesbitt.
During the first half the West
had complete ball control. They
ran 43 plays against 25 for the
East during that time. The first
touchdown came after a 55-yard
ground march with Nesbitt and
Shofner taking turns cracking
through the porous East line.
Nesbitt plunged over from the
one.
Early In the second period, the
West piled up a 13-0 lead when
Merrill Douglas of Utah scooted
around left end from the 14 to
-complete a 67-yard march in
eight plays.
Just before the half ended,
the West was forced to punt. Mit
chell took the kick on his own
33 and returned it to the West's
four yard line, evading several
tacklers and once cake-walking
the sideline strip for about 30
yards.
Kowalczyk plunged into the
line three times to finally score
from the one.
Coach Rip Engle of the East
- had announced a passing attack.
However, Trimarki threw the
ball only once in the first half
'and completed it for a total net
gain of four yards. In the second
fealf, he threw 21 completing
jRine for 139 more yards.
The West used five different
men in passing, threw 21 passes,
completed only seven for 87
ryards.
" However, Nesbit was the work
horse of the day. Ha,, packed a
Slippery ball 22 times for 91
yards, an average of 4.14. His
longest run was only . 1 1 yards.
Kowalczyk was the leading
ground-gainer for the East with
33 yards in 14 tries.

Detroit (TP) Professional
football's greatest and whack

Only 14 players remain from
the Cleveland Browns team that

56-10, for the NFL crown in
1954. The Lions have only 18

them by Cleveland in six regu

Picked to finish back in the
pack in the Eastern division
this season, Paul Brown molded
together his veterans and 12
rookies into a team that opened
with a 6-3 victory over the de
fending champion New York
Giants and then never slowed
down, winning nine, losing two

The Lions were scorned by
Buddy Parker, the man that
led Detroit out of the' also-rans
into three straight divisional
championships and two world
titles, just two days before their
first exhibition game this sea
son fittingly enough with the
Browns.
Parker hung a "dead team"
label on the Lions. But his as
sistant, George Wilson, took over
and with every week a "must"
victory, piloted the Lions into
a tie in the closest Western con
ference race in history and then
a playoff victory over San Fran
cisco. On offense, the Lions and the
Browns proved opposites this
season with the Eastern division
champions moving steadily
throughout the game. Only two

physical condition. Brown said
"there are no stipulations if Ku
szewski is not sound physically."
He told the big first baseman by
telephone he though they would
have "no trouble getting togeth
er on salary."
Although big Klu's salary was
never made known, it was esti
mated he made a top of S40,000
at Cincinnati and around S30.-

Yale forward, Larry Downs, and
guard Tom Sargent shaved the
score to within three points. But
