The final whistle blew as Hudson crossed the goal line in a storybook finish. ', , . . . " Alabama's Crimson Tide and the Oklahoma Aggies, both un beaten and untied during the regular season, lived up to their press notices by routing Southern California and St, Mary s, re spectively, in the Rose and Sugar Bowls. .., . Alabama, sparked by Harry Gilmer, ended USC's unbeaten streak in the lamea rasaaenaw- ' came, bv smearing the Trojans, 34 to 14, before 93,000, the largest crowd of the day. The southeastern champions turned the game into a one-sided affair by running up a 34-0 score be fore USC counted twice in the last neriod. A crowd of 75,000 at New- Orleans, the largest ever to see a football game in the south, saw the Aggies spot St. Mary's a touchdown in the first six minutes, then come from be hind to take a 14-13 lead at the half and pull away to a 33-13 triumph in the second half.

In the air, Herman completed nine of 18 passes for 115 yards while Fenimore com 'pleted four of 11 for 78 yards. A 42-yard touchdown run by Alan Dekdebrun, Cornell's star quarterback, and a placekick by Purdue's Tom Hughes gave the East All Stars a 7-7 tie with the West All-Stars in the Shrine . Bowl at San Francisco before 60,000. Late in the game the East reached the West three : yard stripe, but three plays :' failed and on fourth down f Hughes missed a field goal try from the 18. r Texas and Missouri reached ! the heights of the day's tuueh ; down orgy in the Cotton Bowl ' at Dallas. Bobby Layne sparked the Longhorns to six scores and a 40-27 victory. Touchdowns came so fast that the 46,000 on hand, were hard put to keep up with developments. Charley Trippi led Georgia to a 20-6 victory over Tulsa .in the Oil Bowl at Houston. A crowd of 27,000 saw Tulsa trail by 7-6 for three quarters, then , watched Trippi throw a 54-yard - touchdown pass and sew. up vic tory a few minutes later by running back a Tulsa punt 69 yards for a score. Trailing by 17-13 starting the last quarter New Mexico came up with three touchdowns in the final 15 minutes to beat Denver, 34-24, in the Sun Bowl at El Paso. Don Burnley of the winners passed for three touch downs and scored a fourth him self. An intercepted pass in the closing minutes led to Drake's 13-12 triumph over Fresno State in the Raisin Bowl fray at Fresno, Calif. Ralph Gruben re turned the intercepted aerial to the Fresno 24, then Jack. Coupe passed to Charles McDowell for the tying touchdown. Substitute Jim Baer booted the winning point from placement.

Portland Pro Puts Mex Away In Seventh PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 2 (JP) Making a sensational debut into the pro ranks after leaving the ring as an amateur four years ago. Tommy Moyer. at 1464. slugged his way to a seventh round knockout win over Tuner io Lopez, 1471, Mexican welter weight champion. Moyer put Lopez on the can vas four times in the second round, three times in the sixth and three more in the seventh. The Irish battlers was all set to tuck Lopez away for the long ten but the fight was stopped then. The Portlander had his south-of-the-border opponent on the canvas 10 times in all, before officials halted the scrap. In the semi-final, Milo Savage, Seattle, 148, took an eight round decision over Dick Wagner, Ore gon City, 144.' Pels Have 2 Games With Bend Riding the crest of a four game win streak over classy competition, the Pelicans enter a two-game series with the Bend Lava Bears on the KUHS gym floor Friday and Saturday nights. The games here with Bend will be the only meetings of the season with the Deschutes coun ty boys, traditional rivals of the Pels second only to Medford. The K-men came through the Longview battle unscathed and probably in better shape than when they went in as Ray Craig, injured hip notwithstanding, played a stellar game, and the entire starting five Craig, Jim Palmer, Gene Hover, Leroy Coleman and Jerry Thorne got stronger as the game progressed and in the last half were setting their own pace. That same string will probably start against the Lava Bears. Both weekend games are scheduled to start at 8 o'clock and there is a chance of a pre liminary game one night or both featuring the Wildcats or the Freshmen. Any opening tilt docketed will be announced later. Shrine Tilt Ends In 7-7 Deadlock SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 2 (IP) The East's outstanding college football olayers battled the All' Stars from the West to a 7-7 tie in the Shrine s annual New Year's Day charity game, em phasizing again the near equality of the squads over zi years.

Bob Fenimore Ail-American Halfback Bob Fenimore accounted for 130 of the Okla homa Agglet' 217 yards gained rushing against the youthful St. Mary's Gaels in the Sugar Bowl yesterday, bucking tht line for two touchdowns and passing for another, Profes sional scouts consider Fenimore the beat back in college football today, rating him over Blanchard. Davis and Gilmer. Brutal Jack Lipscomb Back To Fight Gust Johnson No one seems to know much about Joe Smolinski, the new grappler on the circuit who is signed to scuffle, with Canadian Herb Parks in the year's opener next Tuesday, except that he is just out of the army and was a wrestling, judo and physical education instructor for a mat ter of four years. So there is a good chance he is another one of the body-beautiful class of rassler, exempli fied by Joe Lyman, and Angelo Martinelli, which is coming more and more into the mat pic ture. Tuesday's bouts will also have the return of Brutal Jack Lips comb, matched with Gloomy Gust Johnson in the semiwindup. Ferocious Jack was recently re lieved of bis Coast junior heavy title by Joe Lynam and is very unhappy over the prospect of ngnting prelims and working his way back up again. . The main event is scheduled to be a riot, or a continuation of a riot started a couple of weeks ago, between Rough Rufus Jones and Angelo Martinelli. The Toledo Toe-dancer refer eed the last Jones-Mask scuffle and at the end of the fight was embroiled in a brawl with the Dusky one in the ring which continued until the wee hours in the dressing room, so being practical men, were persuaded to finish it for money and before a crowd. That tiff will be six ten-minute rounds, the semiwindup four goes and the opener three. can-toes. Gallopin' Gaels Praised In New Orleans Defeat St. Mary's Courage. Goes Down Before Power Of Oklahoma Aggies, 33-13 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2 (P) The cowboys of Oklahoma A. and M. won the Sugar Bowl game yesterday, but the gallant Galloping Gaels of St. Mary's won the hearts of the biggest foot ball crowd ever assembled in Dixie. The score was 33 to 13. Most of the officially-estimated 73,000 spectators will forget that before long, but they will never for get the Gaels' courage and fancy football. The Aggies obviously had the better ball club. Their strap ping linemen ripped holes for gains of 217 yards rushing, hold ing St. Mary's to 61. AU-Ameri- ca Halfback Bob Fenimore ac counted for 130 Aggie yards, and plunges by Indian Jim Rey nolds for most of the others. The Gaels, however, put on the show and drew the shouts from the crowd. They used flat passes from their 13-yard line; odd plays from fantastic spread formations; triple laterals, downfield laterals, laterals end ing up with guards carrying the ball. In fact, the second St. Mary's touchdown was scored by a guard, Carl De Salvo, who scampered 20 yards with a lat eral from All-America Herman Wedemeyer who had circled right end for 24. Wedemeyer couldn't match Fenimore on the ground in the all-America contest, but he com pleted nine of 18 passes for 155 yards, to Fenimore's four out of 11 for 76 yards. Gael Quar terback Dennis O'Connor inter cepted three Fenimore passes and Wedemeyer caught one. Fenimore intercepted two of Wedemeyer's. St. Mary's scored first, on a 47-yard pass play from Wede meyer to O'Connor. Two min utes later Fenimore looped a 29-yard touchdown heave to Southern California Fumbles Ninth Try PASADENA. Calif.. Jan. 2 (IP) Southern California's Trojans went to the well nine times be fore they fell in, but that ninth time . Never, say the oldest Histor ians, has. the Rose Bowl wit nessed a more convincing shel lacking than Alabama's alert, hard-hitting Crimson Tide gave the Trojans yesterday in explod ing the myth of Southern Cali fornia Bowl invincibility. The final tally, 34-14, approxi mated Trojan 47-14 and 35-0 routs of Pitt ' in the 30's, but didn't come close to Michigan's 49-0 smashing of Stanford in the first Rose game in 1902. Yet in many respects, the Tide's victory was the most lop sided ever seen in the Arroyo Seco saucer. A crowd of 93,000 ho-hummed as Alabama rolled up 18 first downs to three for the Trojans. Georgia, in 1943, chalked up 22 to UCLA's four. California in 1922 made only two first downs. , The Tide amassed 351 yards from scrimmage 292 running, 59 passing to USC's 41 only six net running and 35 passing. The Tide's running record was second best, total yardage fourth in Bowl history. But the defen sive showing is the absolute tops, eclipsing the 49 yards (all run ning) to 1 which California was held in 1922 by Washington and Jefferson. And W- & J-'s defensive mark was made on a muddy field, whereas the Tide stopped the Trojans colder than yesterday's mackerel under perfect playing conditions. With all due credit to the great Harry Gilmer, Lowell Tew, "Corky" Corbitt, and other stiletto-sharp backs Coach Frank Thomas threw at the befuddled Trojans, it was the line that made the contest an old-fashioned Alabama barbecue. Tom Whitley, 190 pound tackle; Jack Green and John Wozniak, a tough pair of sawed-off guards; and all - American Center Vaughn Mancha never let up. While the Trojans held him to four completions in 12 passes, the rubber-legged, deceptive gaited Gilmer netted 116 yards in 16 running plays, scored one touchdown and tossed another. 'Bama tallied in every period and did not allow USC to score until coasting on a 34-0 lead. Three Tide counters came on sus tained drives of 64, 69 and 78 yards. Halfback Ted Tannehill was Troy's, lone standout, defensive ly and offensively. The rest of the Trojans only proved the moth eaten adage: the bigger they are, the bigger the splash. The win was Alabama's fourth against one loss and a tie in Rose Bowl competition and con firmed the Tide's selection as the leading all-civilian grid squad of 1945. Cecil Hankins, climaxing a 64 yard advance made entirely on Fenimore rum and passes. . Fenimore's short plunge to a second-period touchdown after a 31-yard drive put the Aggies permanently ahead. De Salvo's score came soon afterward. As the Gaels wilted In the second half, Fenimore and Rey nolds each plunged to another score and on the game's last play Reynolds shot a pass which a Gael batted into Substitute Bob Thomas'' hands for an A, and M. touchdown.
