Fourth Quarter Blitz Decides NFL Crown AAU Refusal Given Okay BOULDER, Colo. (AP) The chairman of the AAU's basketball committee said today the AAU was "perfectly justified" in re fusing to sanction a series of games in this country with a Swedish national cage team. "The AAU is the governing body of international sports," said G. Russell Lyons. "These matters must be handled through channels. The Swedish incident is rot a thing that developed quick ly. Everyone was told some time ago the proposal was going to be turned down." Lyon's comment came shortly after Jim McGregor, 37, an American who has made a career of coaching national basketball teams in Europe, took a verbal roke at Dan Ferris, head of the AAU. McGregor said Ferris "is hurt Ing our sports prestige around the world" btcause he is "trying to enforce a policy of isolationism.' McGregor made his remarks after Ferris had announced in New York the AAU had refused to sanction the series of games involving the Swedish team in America. Ferris said the reason was that a professional promoter McGregor was arranging the Swedish tour. Ewbank Cites Big Colt Line BALTIMORE (AP) "Those old men did a fine job," chuckled Weeb Ewbank. The stubby Baltimore coach, still glowing over the 31-16 vic tory his Colts racked up over the New York Giants Sunday for the National Football League cham pionship, was referring to his de fensive line. He was thinking, no doubt, of pre-season comments fortified by a mid-season slump that e had robbed the Colt forward wall of its brilliance. But on the money play Sunday it was "the old men" who put the stopper on the surging Giants and helped turn a tense defensive struggle into a rout. Leading 9-7 in the third quarter. New York was on the march and threatening to break the game wide open. With fourth down and inches to go just outside the Bal timore 26, quarterback Charley Conerly called on Alex Webster for a line smash which would have meant a first down. Webster barreled toward right guard and tried to dive over the battling linemen, only to meet an unyielding mass and wind up in the arms of all-pro end Gino Mar chetti (age 32) and tackle Ray Krouse (also 32). Besides Marchetti and Krouse. the Colt defensive line included all-pro tackle Gene (Big Daddy) Lipscomb, who's pushing 29, 34-year-old tackle Art Donovan and 30-year-old end Don Joyce.

(AP) An unhappy Jim Owens has cancelled all extracurricular activities (or his Washington football team after a Rose Bowl practice Sunday which the coach termed "horrible. Owens worked the Huskies through a tough, two-hour drill at Long Beach Veterans Stadium and said their timing was way off. He was particularly dissatisfied with defensive work shown by his re serve units. Owens ruled out a scheduled tel evision appearance and a sight seeing trip to Marineland of the Pacific, an oceananum. He said he would map plans for Monday afternoon's workout after seeing movies taken of the Sunday practice. Meanwhile, at East Los Angeles Junior College, coach Milt Bruhn ran a swcalsuil-ciaa Wisconsin squad through a short, loosening up session Sunday.

Wisconsin Aide Has Gift Stolen PASADENA, Calif. (AP) Someone stole the souvenir watch presented by the Tournament of Roses Assn. to Fred Marsh, sistant coach of the Wisconsin football team. But the thief overlooked some hing even more valuable 10 Rose Bowl tickets also in Marsh's hotel room here at the time of the wrglary. Tournament officials later learned of the theft and gave Marsh a new watch. Giving it to Rose Bowl - Wisconsin. Sugar Bowl Mississippi over LSU. Cotton Bowl Syracuse over Texas. Orange Bowl Georgia over Missouri. Gator Bowl Georgia Tech over Arkansas. Sun Bowl North Texas State over New Mexico State ROSE BOWL Wisconsin (7-2) would seem lo have an edge in weight and ex perience. It is a steady 6'i point favorite and has been bolstered by the return to form of quarter back Dale Hackbart. But Wash ington (9-1) has a powerful de fense and can show a signal call ing ace of its own in Bob Schloredt. The difference could be the Huskies' desire lo end that long string of bowl reversals at the hands of the Big Ten and Wisconsin isn't up to the usual caliber sent west. SUGAR BOWL This could be the best game of the lot. Each team won nine against one setback. Mississippi is a 6'i point favorite; its lone set back came at 'the hands of LSU. A great defense which gave up only 21 points don't figure to et it happen again. This rematch at least will prove whether Olc Miss coach Johnny Vaught is right when he calls his team "the best in the nation." COTTON BOWL Syracuse (10-0) goes out to prove irrevocably that it is the best in the nation. Despite three dismal bowl efforts in the past, the saltine warriors have shot up from a 7'i to a 12-point favorit ism. That's because Texas (91) led the Southwest Conference ir rushing with a basic ground at tack game while Syracuse had the finest rushing defense in the nation, yielding an average of only 19 yards per game. ORANGE BOWL Georgia (9-1) would seem to be at least the 11 point favorite it is rated against Missouri (6-4). Georgia has a big line with the benefit to boot of a good passing attack. Missouri is in on a pass, due to Oklahoma's ineligibility. GATOR BOWL Arkansas (8-2) is a one-half point favorite but from here the edge goes to a big Georgia Tech team which had a mere 6-4 rec ord.

Six tournaments got under way last Saturday, and the other 17 start tonight. They'll all wind up by the end of the week. In Los Angeles, the final of the first annual Los Angeles Festival could wind up in a replay of last season s NCAA championship be tween California and West Virginia. At Raleigh, N.C., the Dixie clas sic starts with Utah (8-0) favored to break a 10-year stranglehold by North Carolina schools. The Utes play Duke in the first round.

(AP) - The Baltimore Colts, counted out of the race by many after three losses in their first seven games, are the world champions of pro fessional football again today. They clinched the title for the second straight year by staging , territory an inspired 24-point fourth quarter Sunday to rout the Eastern Division champion New York Giants 31-16. Last year the Colts defeated the Giants in the playoff 23-17 in a sudden-death overtime period. Colts quarterback Johnny Unitas, voted Ihe pro football player of the year, proved to a capacity crowd of nearly 60.000 in Memorial Stadium and tele viewers in 44 slates that he de served the honor. He threw two touchdown passes and ran for a third. It was the 3!Hh straight game he has thrown a scoring heave. Still, it was the defense on both teams that shone. During that wild last period, when Giant quarterback Charley Conerly was trying to get New York back in the ball game with long passes, the Colts secondardy picked off three interceptions. Conerly had only four intercepted off during the entire season. "Their defense made all their points for them today, not the of fense," said Giant coach Jim Lee Howell. "Both defenses were bet ter than the offensive teams If there were a single crucial play for the Giants, Howell rca soned, it was in the third quarter when New York, on Ihe Colts 26 decided to go for a first down on a fourth-and-onc situation. The Giants were leading 9-7 at the time. Halfback Alex Webster tried to barrel through his right tackle spot, but the Colt line surged in on him en masse, and Baltimore took over the ball on downs. "The team seemed to go down a bit after that," Howell said, "though they never stopped try ing." Baltimore coach Weeb Ewbank, a beaming, satisfied soul, also credited that play with being an important one. "I think holding them like that fired us up," he said. That they were. Unitas and Lenny Moore were the key men in an 86-yard, 10-play drive that produced the Colts' touchdown early in the fourth quarter to put them ahead 14-9. A Unitas to Moore pass and run play moved Ihe ball to the New York 12. A fow plays later the versatile Unitas rolled out to his right and scored from the four standing up. From then on the Colts were home free. It was the same great Unitas Moorc combination that clicked for the first quarter touchdown that gave the Colts a 7-0 lead. This score on a 60-yard play came the first time the Colts had the ball. Unitas faked a handoff to Alan Ameche and then, from his own 40, fired the ball to Moore. Fleet Lenny took it on the Newr York ,18 and. sped all the way for the score. The Giants started out impres sively moving quickly into Colt But Conerly was caught 10 yards behind the line by de fensive tackle Big Daddy Lips comb, and Don Chandler punted over the goal line. New York got going again late in the quarter on a beautiful draw play, with Mel Tripled shooting down the middle for 28 yards to the Colts 17. Then came a break that could have had some influ ence on the outcome. Conerly barely overshot Rote in the end zone. Role dived for the ball and fell. Colt halfback Johnny Sample, a step behind, fell over Role, and his knee hit Rote's chin, inflicting a mild concussion. Rote didn't get back in action until mid way of the third quarter.
