fore USC counted twice in the
last neriod.
A crowd of 75,000 at New-

triumph in the second half.
The duel between the two

with developments.

to a 20-6 victory over Tulsa .in
the Oil Bowl at Houston. A
crowd of 27,000 saw Tulsa trail

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.

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.
