1 n MAIL TRIBUNE, MeJforrf, Or. xv . Sunday, Jan. 3, 1960 Another Bright Season Looms For Washington By JOE ST. AMANT Pasadena, Calif. -(UPB- The under-rated Washington Hus kies look today like they'll have at least one more year f football prosperity on the basis of their smashing 44-8 Rose Bowl victory over Wis consin. The Huskies not only up set the dope bucket in the New Year's Day classic-they kicked it around and then pulled it down over the Bad gers' ears. Husky Coach Jim Owens, at 32 just a youngster him self, fielded a starting line up of 10 juniors and one sophomore including versa tile quarterback Bob Schlo redt and halfback George Fleming who were named co- standouts of the 46th annual Rose Bowl. Poured It On Washington, the team that was supposed to be short on experience as compared with the older Badgers, grabbed the advantage from the start end poured it on. . Washington, the team that was supposed to be a fumbler, lost the ball not once on fum bles. Wisconsin lost the ball four times on bobbles. And adding to the Wiscon sin humiliation, the Badgers recorded the second loss of a Big Ten team to a Pacific Coast representative in the past 14 years of an exclusive pact. The earlier loss was Wis consin s 7-0 defeat by South ern California in 1953. 333,093 People See Bowl Tilts United Press International A total of 333,093 persons turned out for Friday's four major bowl games, with the Rose Bowl again emerging as the top gate attraction. No official attendance fig ure was released by the Rose Bowl officials but the huge Pasadena, Calif., stadium was filled to its capacity of 100, 809 for Washington's upset victory over Wisconsin. The Sugar Bowl at New Orleans attracted the day's second biggest crowd as 81, 500 watched Mississippi turn back Louisiana State. A sellout crowd of 75,504 watched national champion Syracuse whip Texas in the Cotton Bowl and 75,280 wit nessed Georgia's victory over Missouri in the Orange Bowl. Coach Opinions Contradictory Miami OJPB Football coach Wally Butts and his Georgia Bulldogs won the Orange Bowl game New Years day 14-0 but losing Missouri Coach Dan Devine won most of the arguments. "We did a poor defensive Job," Butts, often known as Weeping Wally, complained after the victory. ; Georgia's defense was tre mendous," Devine said. Devine won this point by a country mile. Beside holding Missouri scoreless, the Bull dog defense stopped Missouri once on the 15-yard line and twice on the 10. Meeting at midfield after the final gun, Butts told De- vine: ; "We didn't look too good passing." "Well, you got those two big ones," Devine shot back. The young coach from Mis souri won his point here too, Georgia's elusive Francis Tar- kenton fired two bullet pass es on 29 and 33 yard touch down plays that beat the Tig ers.

Kurt Gegner (76) gives Washington Crushes Wisconsin With 44-8 Unset in Rose Bowl By TIM MORIARTY United Press International Revenge was sweet for Washington, Syracuse and Mississippi in the holiday bowl games Washington, a one touch down underdog, produced the only upset by crushing Wis consin, 44-8, for its nrst vic tory in five appearances in the Rose Bowl dating back to 1924. Syracuse turned back a fighting Texas team, 23-14, in the Cotton Bowl to wipe out the memory of three previous post-season debacles, includ ing a humiliating 61-6 whip ping by Alabama in the 1953 Orange Bowl, while Mississip pi avenged its only regular season setback with a 21-0 victory over Louisiana State in the Sugar Bowl. , In Friday's other major classic, Georgia rode to a 14-0 shutout over stubborn Mis souri on the arm of its preach ing passer Francis Tarkenton, in the Orange Bowl. Huskies Wreck Badgers A capacity crowd of 100,- 809-the day's largest turnout- watched one - eyed quarter back Bob Schloredt and half back George Fleming wreck Wisconsin at Pasadena, Calif. Schloredt passed for one touchdown and sneaked across for another while Fleming scored once on a 53-yard punt return, set up two other TD's, booted a 36-yard field goal and added five placement con versions. The Huskies romped to a 17-0 lead in the opening quar ter, and wound up with the most points ever scored by a West Coast team against a Big Ten opponent in the Rose Bowl. It also was only the West's second victory in the 14-game series. Wisconsin was the victim on both occasions, losing to Southern California in the 1953 game. Syracuse stunned Texas with a tricky touchdown pass from Ger Schwedes to Ernie Davis that covered 87 yards with the Cotton Bowl game only two minutes old and the Longhorns never recovered. Another touchdown by Davis gave the national champions a 15-0 lead at half time and Schwedes then tallied the de cisive touchdown on a three yard plunge in the third pe riod. Although the New Yorkers' victory was sweet, they came out of the game with a bitter taste in their mouth as a re j suit of a player brawl just be j fore the end of the first half, j Makes Name Calling Charge 1 Syracuse tackle Al Gerlick jsaid rival tackle Larry Ste phens called John Brown, one of three Negroes on the Orange team, "a dirty name and someone started swing ing." "This is the worst bunch we've played against," said Brown, who added one Texas player spit on him just before the fight started. Mississippi combined a hard:charging line and the passing of quarterbacks Bo by Franklin and Jake Gibb in ! blanking LSU before 81,500 at New Orleans. Ole Miss held the Tigers' vaunted backs to minus 15 yards on the ground while All-America Billy Cannon of LSU gained only eight yards all day. A 43-yard pass play from Gibbs to Cowboy Wood ruff enabled the Rebels to gain a 7-0 lead late in the first half, then Franklin toss ed scoring passes to Larry ''"iwqjp'll' t.1 '"WjT jiliFHi'iPii n if1" 1 111 lii 1 ' i ' IP'illl'jiglgj1 ilP''lllMWWIIffllNiWl'rMII'lij"lJll"l'ii 1)1 H lj)il""lf " - ' ' jf" STANDOUTS IN BOWL The two out standing football players of the Washing ton Husky football team are shown in the foreground, quarterback Bob Schloredt, left, and George Fleming, surrounded by Basketball Engagements Three Nights This Week In Southern boutnern uregon confer ence schools have the heaviest prep basketball schedule dur ing the first full week of the new year.

Get a bottle today at WESTERN THRIFT SPORTS Victory Not Sweet for Syracuse By ED FITE Dallas, Tex. -4DPD- Even the taste of their first bowl vic-tory-a 23-14 conquest of Tex- as-didn't wipe out a bit of bitterness lingering' in the wake of national champion Syracuse's Cotton Bowl title. From the players there were charges of unsportsman like aotivitiy on the part of their Southwest conference rivals. And, from Coach Ben Schwartzwalder there were rumblings of discontent at the officiating. The fans, 75,504 of them sitting in the glare of flood lights under low, murky clouds, had ample opportuni ty to cheer or boo, as their sentiments might be, at num erous breaks that played a vital part in the final out come. They also witnessed some milling, shoving and swing ing in a mob scene involv ing players and coaches just before the half. But, as Tex as guard Babe Dreymala said, "the thing wasn't as bad as it must have looked." Ernie Davis, the scintillat ing successor to former Syr acuse great Jim Brown, packed the biggest wallop that kayoed the underdog Texas hopes. He scored twice and picked up a pair of conversion passes to account for 16 points, then set up the other Syracuse touchdown by intercepting a Texas pass and blasting his way 22 yards down to the Texas three where teammate Ger Schwedes administered the final blow. Cannon May Be Central Figure In Court Suit . United Press International All - American halfback Billy Cannon of Louisiana State may become the central figure in the first court fight between the rival National and American Football leagues. Cannon announced Friday he has agreed to play pro ball with Houston of the infant AFL, but the Los Angeles Rams of the NFL said they al ready have signed the Tiger star and are prepared to take legal action "to enforce the contract." The Buffalo team of the AFL also snagged an All- America player quarterback Richie Lucas of Penn State, who was the No. 1 draft choice of the Washington Red skins of the NFL. . The Los Angeles Chargers and Boston of the AFL also were busy signing players as soon as Friday's bowl games were completed. The Chargers signed Ail American fullback Charlie Flowers and tackle Butch Tepinska of Mississippi and center Lynn Leblanc and tackle Duane Leopard of LSU. Boston enticed a pair of Syracuse players into its camp halfback Ger Schwe des and tackle Bob Yates. Schwedes was Boston's terri torial choice in the first AFL draft. Another LSU player - cen ter Max Fugler - declined to follow his teammates into the AFL signing instead with the San Francisco Forty -Niners of the NFL. SEE IT NOW!

"I just hope they improve and I'm not being facetious," the youthful Owens told re porters after Friday's 44 8 triumph over Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl. "They referred to the pre dominantly junior squad which will return in the reg ular 1960 campaign. "I'm on top of the world," said Owens aften an uproar ious celebration in the Wash ington dressing room. Silent only for a moment of prayer ful thanks, the Husky squad erupted in shouts and cheers and mutual admiration. "Co players of the game" George Fleming and Bob Schloredt were lifted to the shoulders of their teammates and rocked back and forth. No one needed a program to know Wisconsin had lost. The Badgers sat quietly in their dressing rooms as coach Milt Bruhn and his assistant offered words of encourage ment. More Speed "Fumbles and mistakes hurt us and they scored when we were down," said Bruhn in summing up reasons tor the loss. He said Washington had more speed than he an ticipated and believed the turning . point of the game was George Fleming's 53-yard punt return in the first per iod. The TD run made it 17-0 Owens, almost mobbed by his players after the game, credited his team with "tre mendous ball. I felt before hand our boys would win it if they prepared themselves- and they did. "It was a real wonderful day for us," he went on. "We got off to a good start, slack ened off a bit and then came on strong. Our pass protec tion was good. That was something I had worried about." The 32-year-old coach of the Huskies said Wisconsin was "very similar" to the Southern California team which handed his squad its only defeat. "However, I think Southern California had more speed," he said. More Aggressive Dale Hackbart, hard pressed by the Washington defense, drew words of praise from the Husky coach. "He's as good as we anticipated, but-as I said before, it was just our day." Bruhn didn't argue with that, although he said he still felt Wisconsin could come back from its 24-8 halftime deficit. "But they were much more aggressive than we were.. The Washington line took off like a machine, not particularly as individuals." The Badgers also had more fumbles - four - than in any other game. "The Huskies were really up." he said. Washington rubbed salt in the Wisconsin wounds by showing such disdain that the' Huskies kicked occasionally on third down. "We were justing using our kicking game," said Owens. "We had our lead so we de cided to give them the ball and play defense." Schloredt engineered the first Husky touchdown, gam bling twice on fourth down when, by consecutive think ing, he should have kicked. Schloredt, a 190-pounder who is not fast but is hard to bring down, rolled out for 17 yards to set up the six-yard touch- iew minutes later KlCKea a 36-yard field goal to make it 10-0. Wisconsin had little chance to take the initiative and Fleming made it 17-0 when he took a punt, scampered down the sideline for a 53-yard touchdown and then kicked another conversion. Wisconsin quarterback Dale Hackbart, on target with his sharp passes, directed a 69- yard scoring march in the sec ond period. Fullback Tom Wiesner took the ball over on a four-yard plunge and Hack bart passed to end Allan Schoouover for a two-point conversion. The Huskies moved out in front 24-8 by halftime on a 23-yard pass from Schloredt to end Lee Folkins and another Fleming conversion kick. The Huskies took the kick- off in the third period and marched 66-yards to a touch down largely on the running of slashing 180-pounder full back Ray Jackson who scored. Schloredt got into the scor ing column with a three-yard run at the end of a 93-yard sortie. The biggest hunk of yardage was gobbled up by a 65-yard Schloredt-to-Fleming pass play. Schloredt's understudy, Bob Hivner, took over for the final Husky touchdown, passing one-yard to halfback Don Millich. Gold Rey Fish Count ..WEEK ENDING JAN. 2: Silver salmon - 5 (no jack salmon).

Riverside 9 a.m. 6 ! Rebels Get 4 Revenge Over LSU By JOHN G. WARNER New Orleans -4UPD Louis iana State made the mistake of returning to the scene of its finest victory Friday and got its nose rubbed in the mud of the Sugar Bowl turf worse than any team in history. Mighty Mississippi, in a cold fury for two months ov er the 7-3 setback LSU hand ed it on Halloween night, avenged itself and the loss of a possible national title with a thundering 21-0 victory ov er the once-proud Tigers. . The magnificent Mississippi defense, anchoring itself in a field made soggy by New Year's Eve rains, muzzled Al-America Billy Cannon and held the Tigers to an amazing 15 yards on the ground. Never before in Sugar Bowl history has a team been so completely unable to move the ball as was LSU. Ole Miss hurled its human battering ram, All-America fullback Charlie Flowers, and its stable of running quarter backs into the staunch LSU defense and wore it down in less than two quarters. Then the Rebels took to the air and sailed in passes for all three touchdowns. Tom McNeeley Awarded Bout New York-flJPB-Big, blond- ish Tom McNeeley, Boston's unbeaten heavyweight who stopped Idaho's George Logan for his 16th straight victory, may fight Sweden's unbeaten Thoerner Ahsman-stablemate of champion Ingemar Johans- son-at Madison Square Gar den, Feb. 5 or 12.
