All-America halfback Bob more accounted for 130 Aggie yards plunges by Indian Jim Reynolds made moat of the others. Tricks by Tricksiers The Gaels, however, put on the show and drew the shouts from the crowd. They used flat parses from their 13-yard line; odd plays from fantastic spread formations; triple laterals, downfield laterals, laterals ending up with guards carrying the- ball. In fact, the second St. Mary's touchdown was scored by a guard, Carl De who scampered 20 yards with lateral from All- America Herman Wedemeyer who had circled right end for 24.

Wedemeyer couldn't match Peru- more on the ground in the All- America conttest, but he completed nine of 18 passes for 155 yords to Fenimore's four out of 11 for 76 yards.

Fenimore's short plunge to a second-period touchdown after a 31- yard drive put -the Aggies permanently, ahead. Ds Salvo's came soon afterward. As the Gaels wilted in the second half, Fenimore and Reynolds each plunged to another score and on the play Reynolds shot a pass which a Gael batted into substitute Bob Thomas' hands for an A. and touchdown.

In the air, Herman completed nine of 18 passes for 155 yards while Fenimore completed 4 of 11 for 76 yards.

Later in the game the East reached the West three-yard stripe, but three plays failed and on fourth down Hughes missed a fielci goal try from the 18. Texaj and Missouri reached the heights of the day's touchdown orgy in the Cotton bowl at Dallas.

Ralph Gruben returned the intercepted aerial to the Fresno 24, then Jack Coupe passed to Charles McDowell for the tying touchdown. Substitute Jim Baer booted the winning point from placement.

Hunting and fishing was good only in spots during 1945. High water was a handicap to the fisherman last year, but even at Lake Kahola and Lake Wilhite the fishing was below par. Fewer large channel catfish were caught in the lakes and rivers, and the bass take probably was less than half of normal. The only encouraging sign was the appearance of more giant crappie at Lake Kahola. The duck season In 1945 was a complete flop.

Except for a few days of excellent mallard shooting at Kahola, the duck hunters saw more decoys than ducks.

Hunters in the blinds had only a few shots and seldom saw more than a single or double at one time.

Quail were plentiful this fall, but hunting conditions were adverse. The long dry fall made work difficult for dogs. Grass remained high because of the late freeze. Many birds hid in the grass after being flushed. However, the staggered season for shooting days found favor -with the quail hunters, and the more rugged nimrods, who hunted most of the open days, have plenty of quail In their lockers.

The fishermen and hunters look forward to better sport this year, provided weather conditions are normal and the ducks do not boycott this region.

Some 27,000 fans saw the 180- pound ex-soldier sandwich a great fourth quarter show into a magnificently played game. Henry Frnka's Hurricanes, making their fifth successive bowl stand, matched Georgia's first period touchdown in the second quarter but their try for point failed and Tulsa trained, 7-6, at the three- fourth mark.

Soon after the last quarter opened, Trippi passed from his.46-yard to John Donaldson, wingback, who scored from Tulsa's That was more than enough to win. but Hrippi was not through.

Trojans Completely Outclassed by 'Bama USC Given 34-14 by Crimson Tide Pasadena, Jan.

2 Southern California's Tropans went the well nine times before they ell in, but that ninth Never, say the oldest historians, has the Rose bowl witnessed a more convincing shellacking than Ala- jama's alert, hard-hitting Crimson Tide gave the Trojans Tuesday in exploding 'the myth Southern California bowl invincibility. The final tally. 34-H, approximated 47-14 and 35-0 routs of Pitt the '30's, but didn't come close to Michigan's 49-0 smashing of Stan- 'ord in the first Rose game in 1902. Yet in many respects, the Tide's 'ictory was the most lopsided ever in the Arroyo Seco saucer. 93,000 on Hand A crowd of 93.000 ho-hummed as Alabama rolled up 18 first downs to for the Tropans.

The tide amassed 351 yards from running. 59 passing USC's six net running and "35 passing. The Tide's running record was second best, total yard- ige, fourth In bowl history. But the defensive showing is the absolute tops, eclipsing the 49 yards (all running) to which California was held 1922 by Washington and Jefferson. the Trojans held him to 'our completions in 12 passes, the rubber legged, Deceptive galted Harry GUmer netted 116 yards in 16 running plays, scored one touchdown and tossed another.

'Barna tallied in every period and. did not allow USC to score until coasting on a 34-0 lead. Three Tide counters on sustained drives of tii. 59 78 yards.

Texas, Jan. 2 have been better football games played than Tuesday's Cotton bowl but none ever had more action or more thrills than Bobby er. beg 40-27 victory over Missouri.

The 18-year-old Texas sophomore was the difference as the Longhorns kept their bowl slate clean and made it three bowl defeats for Missouri while a crowd of 46,000 had trouble keeping-up with the flow of touchdowns. Layne's performance was one of the greatest individual the greatest Individual passing show 10 years of Cotton bowl history He scored four touchdowns, kicked four extra points and completed 11 of 12 passes for 158 yards In connecting for two touchdowns and setting UD three more. Timers Gain 408 Yards Missouri's Tigers, ired by game talk that Texas could beat them as it wished, gave the Longhorns plenty to worry about as wiry Bob Hopkins and little Leonard Brown led a ground attack that rolled up 408 yards. Twice the Missourians roared back to tie the score and they were threatening the Texas goal line all day. Hopkins made 125 yards and Brown 121 as' Missouri's formation ripped wide the Longhorn Hue.

A 48-yard pass from Layne to Bill Baumgardner scored the first Texas touchdown.
