scintillated with his darting

Penn State had glue on his fingers

Win 25-12 Victory
TUCSON, Aril. (AP) As was
expected, passing played a key
role in Monday s third annual Ail
American Bowl, with the major
school team tripping the small
school players 25-12.
But the small school offense,
directed by Paul Terhes of Buck-
nell, cave the. crowd of 10,000
plenty of thrills before the major
players iced their third straight
victory.
Terhes matched his rival, Dick
Norman of Stanford, completing
19 of 33 passes for 191 yards.
However, he had four passes in
tercepted, with Warren Living
ston of Arizona returning one 30
yards for a major school touch
down. Norman pitched touchdown
strikes of 41 and 33 yards to half
back Cal Bird of Kentucky. In all.
Norman completed seven of 25
passes for 144 yards.
The small school players
pulled to within 13-12 at the end
of three quarters. Then Purdue's

Championship
"The defense did a great job,"
said Shaw. "They got the job done
when they had to." ,
For Green - Bay, a last-place
team like the Eagles just two sea
sons ago, it was a day of heart
break. The final gun sounded with
the Packers on the Eagles' 9-
yard line where iron-man Chuck
eednaruc, who played outstand-;to
ingly for almost 60 minutes, had
stopped fullback Jim Taylor.
The Packers, the Western Con-
lerence champions, twice led in
the game watched by
a sellout
crowd of 67,325 which
paid the,
largest gate in NFL champion
ship history. The game was tele
vised nationally.
Green Bay led 6-0 on field goals
of 20 and 23 yards by Paul Horn.
ung but the Eagles struck like
lightning in the second quarter,
going from their own 43 for
touchdown on just two pass plays
Van Brocklin, a 12-year veteran
"What a way to go out. Man.
there couldn't be a better way.
Van Brocklin enthused.
Would he succeed Shaw as head
coach?
"I don't have the slightest idea
of what I'm going to do," he said.
"I'll think about the future later,
and talk about my plans later in
the year (1961)."
The defensive unit led by line-
who also
went the route at center on of
fense, won much praise from
Shaw. It had not been given much
of a chance in stalling the power
ful Green 'Bay attack except by
Shaw and the Eagles, themselves.
"Our big break," Shaw said,
"was our ability to hold the Pack
ers off in the key situations, par-
ticularly early in the game when;
the breaks were going against
us.
Green Bay rolled up 223 yards
running and 178 passing, but
could never get the clutch yard
age. the touchdown.
North power began to assert it
self in the second half, however.
Brown voted North's most val
uable player ripped steadily at
the South line. Little Fischer was
a wraith as he eeled his way for
huge yardage, Stock drove for big
gains, and the ever-effective
Blanda and Oppermann combina
tion clicked for vast yardage.
Fischer gave a hint of what was
to come when he raced 66 yards
with the opening second-half kick-
off, nearly getting away. The
North clicked offensively with
about everything it tried, and
smothered the wilting south of
fensive with vicious tackling and
timely pass interceptions.
Skelton was voted South's out
standing player. He wound up
with five completions in 12 pass
ing attempts, in addition to his 37
yard touchdown sprint with an in
terception. The victory was North's fifth in
13 games, with one game tied.

who played in four previous cham
pionships while with Los Angeles,
connected with Tommy McDonald
for 22 yards, then hit the slippery
slot back again with a 35-yard
touchdown strike Bobby Walston
added the extra point to put the
Eagles ahead 7-6.
The Eagles increased the lead
104 when Walston booted a 15-
yard field goal set up by Van
Brocklin passes of 41 yards to
rae Kelzlatf and 22 yards to
Dean.
, The real clincher, however,
came atter the Packers had taken
a 13-10 lead on a seven-yard TD
pass from Bart Starr to Max Mc
Gee in the fourth quarter. That
was Dean's five-yard touchdown
run which he set up himself with
a kickoff return to the Packers'
39 right after Green Bay's final
score.
The kickoff return play was a
new one Shaw installed last week
after receiving scoutine reDorts
from assistants.
"Only for that runback (by
Dean) we probably would have
held them," said Packers coach
Vince Lombardi. "That gave the
Eagles the big lift and we
couldn't stop them. Dean certain
ly had great blocking on the big
run.
'Old Van completed them when
the Eagles needed them," he said.
"You have to give him credit."
Van Brocklin said he felt the
Eagles offensively didn't play
really well "not up to our po
tential." '
"The defense played a hell of a
game." said Van Brocklin, "but
the offense didn't move the ball
as well as it should have."
Shaw indicated that the turning
point of the game was in the first
quarter when Philadelphia held
the Packers on the Eagles' S-yard
line and a few moments later
when they halted a drive on the
8, forcing the Packers to settle
for three points on the 20-yard
field goal by Homung,
Green Bav. whose running at.
tack was sparked by fullback Jim
Taylor with 105 yards, and Hor-
nung, who gained 61 before leav
ing the game in the third Quarter
auer a jarring tackle by Bednarik,
took advantage of early Eagles'
errors to set up the touchdown
threats.
The Eagles' defense, despite
giving up m yards on the ground
and 178 through the air, five times
stalled Green Bay drives inside
the 12-yard line.
Statistically, Van Brocklin's net
gain in passing was 197 yards on
9 completions in 20 attempts. The
Eagles picked up only 99 yards
on uie ground, giving them a total
of 296 yards compared to 401 for
the Packers 223 by rushing and
178 by passing.
The Eagles, in winning their
first world title since they defeat
ed Los Angeles in 1949. received
$5,116 for each player. The losers
share was $3,105 a man. Gross re
ceipts, including radio and televi
sion rights, were $747,876. The
record for the winning players'
share was $4,718 by the Baltimore
Colts in 1958.

The victory sent the Aussies into

This marked the fifth time In

won the cup. The Aussies have
been involved in every challenge

In fact, this year was the first

the United Slates haven't slugged
it out for the top prize in ama

The Italians, after being down
2-0, rebounded and defeated the
United States in the interzone final
two weeks ago.
This time, though, there was no
miracle in the cards. They
dropped the first two singles

Fraser and Emerson, playing

start and appeared to gel strong.
