Pasadena, Calif. tUPIl Wis- corn-in rewrote most of the Rose Bowl records but South crn California pointed to the 42-37 score today as proof it deserved the national football championship. Badger quarterback Ron VandcrKelen put on the great est exhibition of passing in the history of the New Year's Day classic as Wisconsin scored 23 points in the final quarter but fell short before 98.698 fans. And after it was over coach John McKay said the final score proved Southern Cali fornia deserved to be rated Troy Team Glum After Bowl Fray Pasadena, Calif. -IPD- The result was all that mattered today to the shellshocked Southern California football team, and records that spiral ed in the Rose Bowl darkness didn't diminish the sour after taste of defeat for Wisconsin. "These are just kids, after all they're Just 19 and 20 year olds," a team rep-esen-tative said of the Badgers fol lowing their epic 42-37 loss in Tuesday's classic. The Badgers - despite their tremendous fourth period splurge after trailing 42-14 -were "very sorry to have lost," said quarterback Ron VandcrKelen. "They won the first half, and we won the second," said Wisconsin coach Milt Bruhn, carefully restrained despite some sharp criticism of offi ciating. "But they won the ball name, too," Bruhn added. Coach John McKay, whose Trojans appeared almost as glum as if they had lost the game as they walked to the dressing room, said he vic tory showed his team was ttill the nation's best and Wis consin was No. 2. Badgers Beit Faced McKay left no doubt he re garded Wisconsin as the best team Southern California faced this year. "Washington didn't get 37 points on us, and nobody else did either until today. " The Trojans - who warmed u I) physically and emotional ly after realizing they did in deed win the football game despite the Wisconsin drive -were hard pressed for tackles. Co-captain Marv Marinovich was ejected in the first half, Gary Kirner was handicapped by a severe hand injury, and Mike Gale was lost earlier because of a prc-Rose Bowl neck injury. To McKay, the bigc. t fac tor in the game - and one that almost caused the Trojan machine to run down com. pletely - was the four touch down bulge built by the start of the fourth period. To Bruhn, the turning point came in the second period, when he felt the officiating was most open to question. Bruhn strode across the field at the half to question officials on a "quick whistle" and on a Wisconsin touch down pass called back be cause of a penally. The of fi cials ruled quarterback Bill Nelson retained possession when thrown for a loss, and Nelscn subsequently threw a 43-yard pays to Willie Brown to set up a touchdown. No. 1 and Wisconsin still was second in the nation. The drama of the game cen tered around the passing of VandcrKelen and Trojan quarterback Pete Beathard, who were chosen co-players LA Links Prelude Set Los AiwIcs-IUPH-Tho pro amateur prelude to the $55, 001) Los Angelci open golf tournament will hold the stage at Ram-ho Golf Course Thursday with top names from the golfing and enter tainment world competing.
