the nation's No. 1 college foot- of teams in 1962.
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

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
