ONLY SCORE Maryland had allowed the least yards by rushing of any team but tne Oklanoinans churned 80 yards in 11 plays for the game's only pcore. Grigg took a pitchout from Gene Calame and went 26 yards lor tne tally. The previously unbeaten Terra pins had the use ot quarterback Bernie Faloney lor only five plays. An injured left knee kept him sidelined until late in the third quarter and he never returned after a Maryland drive stalled on the 30. UCLA, a three-time Rose Bowl loser, held a 14-0 edge early in the second quarter when Michigan State began to explode. Ducketi broke through to block a kick, the lirst time this has ever happened against a Red Sanders' coached Bruin team, and recovered it for a TD. ASSAULT Wells then led a second half ground assault that tore to shreds a defense rated -the sixth best against rushing during the regular season. His 62-yard punt return late In the game iced the decision. Earlier Leroy Bolden and Wells had scored to climax earth-bound marches of 78 and 73 yards. Cameron was splendid in defeat as he scored once from the two and passed for the other two UCLA touchdowns. In Dallas, Alabama fullback Tommy Lewis gave his team an early 6-0 lead but really made bowl history when he got up off the bench midway In the second period to tackle Moegle at the 'Bama 42 on a run which had started on the Rice five. It marked the first incident of its kind In major post-season competition. Olf lclals ruled it ' a 95 - yard touendown play and Rice was ahead 14-6. Moegle, putting on an unprecedented cotton Bowl perfor mance In which he gained 265 yards In 11 tries for a 24 yard per try average, also had touch down runs of 79 yards and 34 yards. THREE PASSES Poised Pepper Rodgers took ad vantage of a leaky West Virginia pass defense to toss a trio of scoring passes in the highest scoring -affair in Sugar Bowl annals. Tech had gained 233 air yards by halftime and when the Mountaineers reorganized their de fenses the Techmen attacked their flanks to complete the rodt. In other games Texas Western swamped vaunted Mississippi Southern 37-14 in the Sun Bowl, Lacrosse Teachers and Missouri Valley fought to a 12-12 tie in the Cigar Bowl, Ft. Ord (Calif.) romped over Great Lakes 67-12 in the Salad Bowl and Prairie View stopped Texas Southern 33-8 In the Prairie View Bowl. In a night game, East Texas and Arkansas State tied 7-7 In the Tangerine Bowl. Alabama's Lewis Has Sympathy DALLAS, Tex. Wl Alabama's Tommy Lewis may have added a new one for the book of blunders Friday with his 12th man tackle In the Cotton Bowl but he has lots of sympathy. "I feel sorrier for him than I can say," said Rice's Dicky Moe gle, who was spilled in the midst of an obvious touchdown run by Lewis' bruising tackle straight from the Crimson bench. There were some booes Immed iately following the incident but when Lewis came back in. a few plays later the crowded stadium applauded as he and Moegle shook hands. EMOTIONAL "I'm too emotional." Lewis said. "I know I'll be hearing about this the rest of my life." And he probably was right since grid fans were immediately re minded of the 64-yard wrong way Roy Rlegels run in the 1929 Rose Bowl. The California center grab bed a Georgia Tech fumble and was saved from scoring for his foes only by a teammate s tackle on the one yard line. Alabama coach Harold (Red) Drew and Rice coach Jess Neely didn't want to talk about Friday's incident. Drew told his squad at half time to "forget" It. Neely said the tackle "is best forgotten." EDITORIAL In a front page editorial Satur day the Dallas News suggested the crestfallen athlete could use some morale building. "Tommy Lewis, a genuine com petitor, even while on the bencn, had committed a forgiveable er ror that will live with him forever," the News said. ". . . Tommy is a very depressed bny, but he has qualities that will take him far down the road in a country that prospers and survives because of youngsters who compete on or off the bench. "Texans know competitive spirit, We thrive on it. It might not be a bad Idea to drop Tommy Lewis a line over at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Ala., and let Mm know he hasn't lost his last friend. "He's quite a fighter and we like them that wsy in Texas."

Buquesne, the No. 2 team in the country and winner of the New York Holiday Festival, takes time out to demonstrate the game to the University of Mexico. Indiana, the defending WCAA champ which lost for the first time last week, visits' Michigan and Purdue is at Wisconsin but the major Big Ten interest will be centered on Champaign, 111., where eighth ranking Illinois en tertains sixth ranking Minnesota. Minnesota suffered its first defeat earlier in the week against Ken tucky while Illinois also has been beaten once, by Oklahoma ASM RETURNS Holy Cross, the Sugar . Bowl champion, returns home for an intersectional engagement with Alabama. The Crusaders currently are ranked 12th but probably will move up on the strength of their New Orleans' success. The All-American City Tourna ment at Owensboro, last of some 30 holiday competitions, matches Maryland against Kentucky Wes leyan in tonight's final. The Terps' basketball team had considerably more success last night than its vaunted football team did yesterday afternoon as it stopped high-scoring Evansville College 66-58. HOST Kentucky Wesleyan, the host, edged St. Francis of Brooklyn 71-69. New Year's action was scarce but in a major upset Seton Hall lost its first home game in 47 starts dating back to the 1950-51 season. William and Mary beat the Pirates 67-55. Perez Whips Gallardo By JACK HAND NEW YORK l No more gentle man of the ring for Lulu Perez. The 20-year-old Brooklyn feather weight has learned the facts of ring life. Perez, qualifying for a Feb. 26 bout with Willie Pep, the old master, tore up the book of eti quette last night in a boxing wrestling match with Davev Gal lardo of Los Angeles at Madison square Garden. This was No. 3 of the Perez- Gallardo series and probably the last. All three officials voted for Lulu Referee Ruby Goldstein 7-2-1 Judge Jack Gordon 6-3-1 and Judge Arthur Susskind 6-4. The AP card also was 6-4 for Lulu. FAULTED They faulted Perez for letting Gallardo rough him up In their Nov. 27 light when Davey avenged a September TKO defeat by up setting Lulu. Nobody could fault Perez for playing the Lord Faunt- leroy alter his most recent outing. First he wrestled Gallardo through the ropes. When he got up and offered to touch gloves, Luiu answered witn a right to the body, Naturally, the crowd booed. "I decided to stop being a gentleman, it don't pay," said Lulu In his dressing room, "I don't care what people say. He roughed me up so I roughed him.' AGREE The crowd of 3,242, paying $8,201, didn't seem to appreciate Lulu's efforts too much, although most agreed he won. It was his 3Hi victory in 36 pro fights, an im portant decision over a man who was ranked No. i challenger to champion Sandy Saddler. Gallardo's left eye was sliced open again, leaking through mosi of the fight. He said after the fight that he was stale from too much training.

Jefferson won, 54-50, in the first of a two-game series. The second game tips off tonight, 8:15. Photo by Kettler. By It ED lll'ltl) The Democrats of Portland's Jef ferson High School protected a slim lead with a three and a half minute stall last night to shade the Klamath Falls Pelicans, 54-50, In the first of a two-game scries on Pelican Court. The series-closer tips off at 8:15 tonight with Klamath's junior var sity hoisting the curtain against Chiloquin at 6:30. It was an uphill climb for the invading Demos but when John Neeley's boys finally took charge at 49-48 at the three and a half minute mark on Bill Houston's two-pointer, their hold on the lead was as tight as Marilyn Monroe's Bikini. Tom Voight. high-point man of the evening with 12 points on six field goals, exploded out of the stall to plunk in a lay-up and the Portland five had a 51-48 lead with something like a minute left and its stall working on the credit side. CLOSE Yarncll closed H to 50-51 but Dick Jayvees Dump Hilltop, 59-31 The Klamath Junior varsity breezed by Hilltop Cafe of the City League last night, 59-31, Us second win in a row. The Jayvees jumped into an early lead, led 25-12 at the half and 44-18 at the end or three periods. Dennis Todd scored 17 points for high honors. RED HURD, Sports EaKtor TIME OUT KIP - l"HV. -I N I, St C ML', 'You should have seen the one that got away!" n Gets Ruth Plaque NEW YORK 11 Billy Martin, scrappy second baseman of the world champion New York Yank ees, Saturday was awarded the Babe Ruth Memorial Paque, Voted each year to the outstanding player In the world series. It marked the fifth straight year that the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers Assn. of America picked a member of the Yankees. Joe Page earned the honor in 1049, Jerry Coleman got It in 1950, Phil Rlzzuto in 1951 and Johnny Mize in 1952. It was Martin's single to center, scoring Hank Bauer in the final game, that gave the Yankees a 4-3 triumph over the Brooklyn pod gers last October to clinch the series in six games. Even before he delivered the decisive blow, how ever. Martin had played the tar ring role. Billy's final hit was his 12th of the series. That matched tne great est number of hits ever made In world series play. All the others, however, needed seven or eight games to -reach the 12-hit total. Martin did it in six games. Martin batted an even .500 in the series, a mark topped only by Babe Ruth's .625 in the four-game series between the Yankees and Cardinals in 1928. Billy's hits gave him a total of 23 bases. He hit a double, two triples (tying a series record) and two homers. Only one other player ever totaled more bases. That was Duke Snider, who had 24 In 1952. The previous six game high was 19 by Ruth In 1923. Martin also drove In eight runs, second only to Lou Gehrig's nine for the Yankees in 1928. Bob Mou se, Goose Ooslin, Al Simmons, Bill Nicholson and Snider also drove In eight runs In a scries. Pretty good company for a skinny little .257 hitter during the regu lar season.

Owens of College of Idaho Is the leader in rebounds with 26.1 per game. football talent in the West. Rated 6'. point favorites, the East, coached by Ray Eliot of Illi nois, presented a crushing line and the hard running of backs Johnny Lattner and Nell Worden of Notre Dame; Gene Fllipski, former Army star who wound up at Villa nova, and SteVe Meilingcr of Ken tucky, plus many others. The West, led by Coach Chuck Taylor of Stanford, had the passing of Bobby Garrett of Stanford the nation's leading thrower and Francis (Cotton) Davidson of Bay lor, the receiving of ends like Tom Nickoloff of ' Southern California and the break-away run posslbl itles of backs like Veryl Swltzer of Kansas State.

Phil D ($20.70) took the 17th running of Santa Anita's $25,000 San Pasqu.il Handicap and equalled the traok record for 1 1-16 miles (1:41 3-5). SKIING LAKE PLACID, N.Y. Art Dev lin of Lake Placid, Art Tokle of Chicago and Keith Wegeman of Camp Hale, Colo., took leads at the halfway mark in the tryouts for the U.S. world ski Jumping team. Beachell made the first of two free throws to give the Democrats a 52-50 lead with Just seconds left. At the seven-second mark, a Jump ball at Klamath's tree throw line backfired. The ball squirted way back to mldcourt where Voight picked it up and raced in for the insurance lay-in at the final bell. The game was a basket-swapping affair throughout but the Pels seemed to have things in command early in the 4th when they bulged a 41-37 third-quarter lead to seven points at 44-37 on Yarnell's field goal and Don Summer's gift toss. That's when the Jeffs went to work. Voight on a jump shot and Beachell's rebound counter closed it to 41-44. Then the Jeffs worked a hide-out and long pass two straight times with Voight, then Dick Rask. on the business end and Jefferson was ahead for the first time since early In the second quarter at 4544. BACK ON TOP Houston made It 47-44 but Jim my Bevans put the Pels back on the boss side with a lay-In and long shot at 48-47. Then came Houston's big one to shove Jeff back In the lead at 49-48 and Volght's clincher out of the stall. Jeff took an early lead at 3-1 on Eddie Graves' long shot and stayed ahead until early In the second except for a 9-all tie when Jim Dougherty found the range on a jump shot and Barron tossed In a free one. It was 15-11 Jeff at the quar ter mark but early in the second Bevans stole .the ball and scored and Dougherty clicked on a lay-in to give the Pels a 19-17 lead. The Pels never lost that lead but were tied at 25 late in the second, 27, 31, 35 and 37 in the third period as Jefferson evened the count but couldn't go ahead primarily ; be cause of poor marksmanship en the foul line. (The Demos converted -just 16 of 43 tries). LEAD AT HALF The Pelicans led 37-30 at the hf.lt when Don Mills' set shot was 'm tune with the intermission but ter. . The Democrats started a tull-" court press late in the third, enough to somewnac rame we reis ana partially account for Jeff's suc cessful rally tunc wipeu out sweii polnt deficit, early in the four" . the fattest margin of the game. Dougherty was high for Klamath Falls with 10 while Bevans helped : with 8 and Yarnell with 8. Dougherty fouled out two mlifutes Into the fourth quarter.
