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.

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. RICHEST COLLEGE

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

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.

Pasadena, Calif. fUPD j down run by halfback Don
Washington coach Jim Owens j McKeta.
descended from the "cloud K Flem.ing converted and a
nine" reserved, for Rose Bowl
winners to make a New
Year's wish.
"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.

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.
