The :i!lth renewal of the Shrine classic was supposed to be a wide-open affair, featuring Ihe passing of Don Trull of Baylor for the West and Ihe running of a group of fleet backs for Ihe East. But il turned into a titanic de fensive battle in which. There were 10 pass inter ceptions. The ball was lost three limes on fumbles because of jarring tackles. And only Iwo touchdowns were scored. The fintil count was a 6-6 deadlock. Head Knocking Game "It was the strongest line play I've ever seen," said coach Ara Parscgliian of Notre Dame, one of the Fast coaching aides. "There was a lot of head-knocking both ways." Trull had a miserable first half when the defense roughed him up and he gained only 69 yards through the air. He wound up with 155 yards gained on 15 completions mil of 112 at tempts. But he had four inter cepted. The secondary boys stood out on both sides. For the East, .lay Wilkinson, the All-America from Duke, intercepted two; Paul War field, Ohio Slate, knocked off a pair; and full hack Hick Lrcson of Pitl picked off one. Brown Shines For the West, Willie Brown of Southern Caliiornia. who scored the touchdown, had two inter ceptions; Jerry Richardson of West Texas had n pair; and Dave Parks of Texas Tech got one. The defense was so strong that it sol up I lie first touch down of the game for the West in the third quarter.

For a while Sunday it ap peared that Tittle might realize his cherished ambition to guide the New York Giants to the National Football League cham pionship and dispel the "can't-win-the-big-game" charges that has taunted bim in recent sea sons. Instead, he wound up with a gimpy knee and a broken heart. Tears streamed down his face as he sat dejectedly on the Giants' bench in the final sec onds of the game after the Chi cago Bears' sniping defense had intercepted his fifth pass. The scoreboard read; "Bears 14, Giants 10," and another "big one" had .gotten away. Injury Hinders Passing 1 "No excuses," he muttered in the clubhouse after the game when newsmen asked for an explanation of how he had twisted his left knee during the second period, leaving him practically ineffective as a pass er for the rest of the game.

It was the eighth world championship for the Bears, the first since 19i". equallying the league record, and the sixth in 10 ventures into the playoff game since the NFL adopted the division system in 1933.
