A crowd of 100,000 at Philadelphia saw Joe Bellino become the first Navy player to score three touchdowns against Army in an amazing show of superiority over a Cadet team that was rated a SVi-point favorite. The 43 points were the most ever amassed by one team in the history of the inter-service classic. Liberty Bowl officials said after the victory that Navy would be considered for the berth opposite Penn State (8-2).- Mississippi Accepts Suaar BovI Bid Starkville, Miss..-ra - The University of Mississippi for mally accepted a bid Saturday to meet Louisiana State in the Sugar Bowl Jan.'l in a "re match" of the two southeast ern conference powers. LSU won the regular season game 7-3, which was Mississipppi's only 1959 defeat. Mississippi athletic director ,Tad Smith announced the Rebel's acceptance of the Su . gar Bowl invitation at the conclusion of Mississippi's 42 0 victory over mississippi State here Saturday. Sugar Bowl President Monk 'Simon, who attended the game, said "we feel we have the outstanding bowl game of the day." The Sugar Bowl game will be a replay of what a lot of people consider the outstand ing game of the 1959 college football season. On the night of Oct. 31 at Baton Rouge, La., in the LSU stadium, the two unbeaten giants of the i Southwestern conference metf or a head-on clash. Bariy in the drst per iod, Robert Khayat kicked a field goal and Mississippi held this, slim lead for three per iods. . With 10 minutes left to play in the final period, LSU star halfback Billy cannon fielded a punt, shook off half a dozen tacklers and ran 89 yards for an LSU touchdown. Mississippi came storming back and worked the ball to the LSU one yard -line, but the Louislan Bengals held on downs as the clock; ran out. Urge .Rematch Immediately . after this game, agitation started for a rematch in a bowl. Mississippi Coach Johnny Vaught said he "would ; love" ' to have another crack at' LSU. There appeared little chance because LSU had everything to lose and nothing to gain by a re match. -. But the following week Tennssee upst LSU 14-13, and thef ollowing week Mississip pi routed Tennessee 37-7. This put boosted the Rebels ahead of LSU in the National rank ings and put a different com plexion on a possible bowl re match. LSU Coach Paul Diet zel said it was hard to under stand how a team LSU had defeated could be ranked for a bid to the Sugar Bowl. Diet zell said his squad hoped to play Mississippi in a playoff game to determine which is the best team in the nation." In regular season play, LSU had nine victories and the one-point defeat at the hands of Tennessee. The Bengals whipped Rice, TCU, Baylor, Miamai, Kentucky, Florida, Mississippi State and Tulane. Mississippi, also had nine vic tories and that four-game loss to LSU. The Rebels beat Hous ton, Memphis State, Vander- bilt, Tulane, Akansas, Chat tanooga, Tennessee and Mis sissippi State. LSU, on the season, scored 164 points and held its oposi tion to 29. Mississippi scored 329 points and yielded 21 to its opponents. Seattle Fighter Out of Ring.

He scored two touchdowns before 48,682 fans who braved 29 degree ; temperatures and a snow storm to watch the foot ball game. It was Notre Dame's fifth win against five losses this season for Joe Kuha rich's first Fighting Irish eleven, one game under the total posted by the "1958 team whose 6-4 record resulted in. the firing of Terry Brtennari.; . ' Saturday's Irish team was strengtiiened by the return of George Izo, who returned from the injury list to spark it to victory in the final two games of the season. They manhandled the Trojans who suffered their second straight defeat after eight straight wins. . --. Southern California got across midfield only five times, once when Bob Leving ston intercepted an Izo pass and returned 31 yards. But on none of these occasions could the Trojans dent Notre Dame for a score. " Less than 10 minutes re mained to play when substi tute signal caller Ben Charles piloted the Trojans 84 yards in 10 plays for their touchdown.

SW Conference Title '.Tied By TCU, Arkansas, Texas Fort Worth, Tex. (DPD A crashing defense and scatback Harry Moreland's 47-yard scamper carried Texas Chris tian to a 19-0 victory Satur day over Southern Methodist and gave the Christians a Southwest Conference co championship with. Arkansas and Texas. The defending champions' great tackle tandem of Don Floyd and Bob Lilley led the defensive charge that blocked two SMU punts, one of which set up a touchdown, threw passer Don Meredith for huge losses and kept so much pres sure on the SMU ace that he "misfired repeatedly. , Meredith was tossed for four yards in losses and SMU wound up with a minus-one-yard rushing "total." . Halfback . Marvin Lasater scored two" of the victor's touchdowns, one on - a nine- yard surge behind tremendous blocking early in the second quarter and the other on a 15 yard flip from Larry Dawson with only 35 seconds to play. Moreland's sparkhnu run. which provided the crowd of 40,000 with its biggest first half offensive thrill, came with about a minute left in the second quarter and after a Jimmy Gilmore punt had put SMU in a deep hole , by bouncing out of bounds on the one-yard line. Primarily Defensive, Despite the scoring action,! the game primarily .was one of great -defensive play and fierce blocking by Texas Christian. Floyd, Lilly, Guard Roy Lee Rambo and Fullback Jack Spikes broke through time and time again to spill Mere dith for losses or to keep so much pressure on hi mthat he overshot receivers in the clear -an-extreme rarity for the SMU ace who holds the na tional career record for com pletion proficiency'. Meredith closed out his col legiate ' career, barring pos sible post season action, with a better 'than a .500 average, but the 115 yards netted on his 14 hits out of 25 attempts couldn't carry the Mustangs any deeper than the TCU 18 yard line. Meredith wound up a three year career with 241 comple tions out of 395 attempts-or 61 per cent, as compared to the .previous record of 57.1 per cent set by Paul Larson of California in 1952-53-54. Meredith gained 3128 yards and hit for 25 touchdowns. All of the defensive spark lers weren't produced by TCU, however, aside from the time it let Moreland get away on a darting run up the mid dle, SMU fairly well con tained the touted TCU rush ing attack in the clutches and minimized Spikes' fullbock thrusts. A chilling, 20-mile north wind and an SMU "jinx" spoiled TCU kicking special ist R. E. Dodson's season-long string of perfect conversions. When his try after the initial touchdown twisted off into the teeth of the wind, it marked an end to an 18-kick spree that extended back to the SMU game a year ago.
