East Rolls In Decisive Shrine Victory San Francisco-UPD-Fullback Nick Pietrosante of Notre Dame and a crashing defen sive end named Sam Williams of Michigan State were too much for the West and the East rolled to a decisive 26-14 victory in the 34th annual Shrine All-Star classic Satur day in Kezar stadium. Pietrosante, bulling his way through the West line at will, scored two touchdowns and was voted the game's most valuable player. Williams, who spent much of the afternoon in the West backfield dragging down quar terbacks Lee Grosscup and Bobby Newman, was voted the game's most valuable line man. In one of the most thrilling cf all Shrine games, featuring touchdown runs of 84 and 80 yards, the East took a 6-0 half- time lead, went behind for 13 seconds in the third quarter, then came on to win going away. Only a brilliant passing per formance by Newman kept the West in the game. At one stretch through the second and third quarters he complet ed eight passes in succession and put the West' in the game, But he couldn't carry the load . alone and finally suc cumbed to the hard-charging East line. When the West finally did get ahead, 7-6 in the third quarter, scat-back Dick Haley of Pitt took the kick-off on his own 16 and raced straight down the sideline for a touch down. Puis East in Charge That put the East back in command and broke the back of the West. Coach Duffy Daugherty's boys got another touchdown when quarterback Bob Pta- cek passed 20 yards into the end zone to Tom Franckhaus er of Purdue to make it 20-7 at the end of the third quar ter.

As example, Seattle's cage squad traveled 21,882 miles last year to lead the nation's collegiate roundball wander ers. Utah was the second most traveled squad with 17,260 miles. 1 After those two came Mem phis State and Idaho State with 16,000 miles each; Brig ham Young 14,763; Bradley 14,200 and Portland 14,000 miles . . . and only a bare handful of the nation's teams traveled less than 2,000 miles during the season.

The winner will be named in a poll of the nation's sportswriters and sportscasters but a private poll indicates that Turley, off his 20-game season and two World Series wins, is the pro bable winner.

For its first Saturday of racing the track featured . a double stakes program., In the companion feature, the $30, 000 California Breeders' trial, Eddie Arcaro brought Monk's Hood from off the pace to defeat favored Fightin Indian by a half length. It was Ar caro's third straight victory in the Breeders' trial. But in the Malibu stakes, Arcaro had the mount on Jewel's Reward and had to be content with a second place after having won two stakes n two days of racing here. Thomas Barrow, a jockey who has been riding regularly since he went East after a big meeting at Hollywood Park, brought out all the speed in his mount and was coasting at the finish. It was Hillsdale's third straight stakes win. The colt captured the Michi gan derby and the Boardwalk handicap in the East before being shipped here for a win ter campaign. Hillsdale, second choice in the wagering, returned $8.30, $3.30 and $3.10 across the board. Jewel's Reward which ran as an entry with Strong Bay, paid $2.40 and $2.30 for place and show and the Swaps kin returned $4.00 for show. Hillsdale raced the seven furlongs of the Malibu in 1:22-25 to demonstrate he would be a powerful horse in future stakes. His owner, Detroit industrialist C. W. Smith, said " after the race that Hillsdale would be made a supplementary entry in the 26-14 things under control, with Williams the main cog.

Anyone for tennis? Rebels Nip Florida 7-3 In Bowl Jacksonville; Fla. -flJPD- The University of Mississippi Reb els drove 70 yards to a first period touchdown here Satur day, then dug in for a series of rugged defensive stands to beat Florida 7-3 in the Gator bowl. A partisan crowd of 41,000 lived an afternoon of agony as the Florida Gators drove inside the Mississippi 10-yard line three times, but had only a first period field goal to show for their efforts. Fullback Charlie Flowers, the butter-and-bread man in Mississippi's attack through out an 8-2 season, tore off huge chunks of yardage in the Rebels' opening drive. How ever, it was a couple of key passes by quarterback Bobby Franklin that kept the drive alive. Flowers was injured during the 11-play march and reserve James Anderson took over the fullback chores for the re mainder of the game. A 23 yard pass from Franklin to end Larry Grantham carried the ball to the Florida one yard line and Anderson bull ed over on the next play.

"Double Man in Action' Draws Crowd's Snickers San Francisco-4UPD-The 6u, 000 fans in" Kezar stadium snickered when the East put the "double man in action" in to the Shrine game in the first quarter Saturday. But they laughed right out loud when it happened twice in a row and they started to wonder if Coach Duffy Daugherty of Michigan State had invented a new play. If Duffy had anything like it in mind, the officials would have none of .it. And if the millions of fans watching on television were confused they probably were no more so f HlSTAUED SELBY Glass Iowa SquaH Rated Rugged Team To Face Bears (Editor's Note: This is the ninth of 10 dispatches on the football teams playing in the post-season bowl games. By ED HEINS United Press International Iowa City, Iowa DPD Iowa will send a different kind of football team against Californ ia in the Rose Bowl than it did two years ago when the Hawkeyes beat Oregon State, 35-19, but the results may be the same. The 1956 Hawks were a mighty defensive club. They shutout four opponents, held two others to a single touch down and depended largely on defense to squeak through the tight games. The 1958 Iowa squad is an offensive powerhouse that will be tough for California to stop. Its defense is regarded as its weakness. Six of nine opponents scored two or more touchdowns against the 1956 team. Despite its defensive record in 1956, Iowa made a rever sal in form and yielded three touchdowns to Oregon State in an offensive show. Offense Should Sparkle This year's battle too, ought to turn into a display of of fense. Iowa averaged 26 points a game in winning sev en, losing one 38-28 to Ohio State, and tying the Air Force academy, 13-13. California's Golden Bears scored 195 points to 234 for Iowa and averaged 19.5 points a game in a 7-3 season. Speed and Randy Duncan's Ail-American passing are the keys to Iowa's wing-T attack. Halfbacks Ray Jauch, Willie Fleming and Bob Jeter can go the distance from just about any spot on the field. Duncan is good on both the long and short passes and he has a fine set of ends to throw to in Don Norton, Bob Pres cott, Jeff Langston, Allan Miller and the injured Curt Merz, who led the Hawkeyes in pass receiving. Fleming Top Runner Fleming is Iowa's most dan gerous runner. Only a sopho more, Fleming rode the bench until midseason. Then he scored at least two touch downs a game in the latter half of the schedule. Fleming is agile and fast. He also can drive for the ex tra yard when he's tackled. Fullbacks John Nocera and Blue Squad Hits South For 16-0 Montgomery, Ala. - (UPD - A big, strong Blue squad featur ing scoring stars from Purdue and Oklahoma State batterei the South's Gray team, 16-0 Saturday in the 21st annual classic in this cradle of the Confederacy. " . A crowd of 18,000 fans watched the Blue avenge a 21-20 defeat last year, on the strength of a 53 'yard first period punt return by light ning Duane Wood of Okla homa State, and on a Purdue passing combination, Quarter back Bob Spoo to End John Crowl. Spoo finished things up in the scoring column with a 13 yard field goal in the last period, and Oklahoma -State end Jim Wood converted by placement after the nine-yard Yankee scoring pass, Spoo to Crowl in the second. The Gray squad never reached the Blue 30, and its passing attack vanished in the rain and gloom of Crampton bowl. The slippery underfoot ing prevented the South from mounting a ground attack. than East halfbacks Dick Ha ley of Pitt and Don Clark of Ohio State. ' ' y Twice in a row when quar terback Bob Ptacek of Michi gan called the signals Clark started circling from the left and Haley from right. They neatly "sidestepped each other behind the fullback but kept on running. Each time officials' flags fell all over the field and the East was penalized 15 yards for an "illegal shift."

"impregnable" defense Sunday in the Nation al Football league's champion ship game. The Colts, a rags-to-riches team that has iclimbed to fame largely on the strength of excellent draft choices, a "steal" that brought them Uni tas and the zealous support of Baltimore rooters, were ZVz point favorites to win their first N.F,L. title." Mild temperature in the 40's and slightly overcast skies were forecast for the title game which will be televised nationally over the N.B.C. net work starting at 1:45 p.m. (EST). If a tie score exists at the end of the regulation 60 min utes, the teams will go into "sudden-death" overtime. Aft er a brief rest, there will be a coin toss to determine which team will kick off for the overtime period and Jh'ey will go at it again until the N.F.L. playoff ever has been decided this way, however. Richest Purse Expected . The game is expected to be played for the richest purse in N.F.L. history. Each mem ber of the winning team like ly will earn 5,000, with the losers receiving $3,000 each. The gross receipts should top the record $593,967.50 drawn by the Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions in last year's playoff. The players' pool is made up of 63 per cent of the net receipts.

Stacy scored again on a quarterback sneak after Humphrey went to the bench for a well-earned rest. Humphrey, the nation's leading passer at Baylor, was voted the game's most valu able player but it was South Carolina's Little King Dixon at defensive, halfback who spiked the North's all-Ameri-can, Dawkins.
