All tries for point good. There was no doubt as to the outcome after that first march, which came so quickly and with so much deception and finesse that it left the home team bewildered. The Wildcats showed of clever play bin could not sustain a drive against- the bruising Duke forwards and only twice got into Duke territory, just barely in. Big Red Bethca, star Davidson sophomore back, thrilled the fans with his long, booming punts that would have- kept a less powerful adversary in hot water, but the Duke strength was not fazed. On the Blue Devil's final touchdown they marched from their two, where a punt had gone out of bounds.

Coupled with previously undefeated Fordham's stunning loss to Pittsburgh today, the victory put he once-beaten Tide high in the running for a bid to a New Year's Day apnearance. BIG EDGE Tuiane had a big edge in statistics, gaining 252 yards net to Alabama's 323 and making 16 first downs to the Tide's 7, but when desperately needed, the Wave's passes were smeared by the hard- fighting Tide. A beautifully executed reverse on a punt, return gave Alabama the first score after four minutes of piay.

Jimmy Nelson took a punt on the 'Bama 40 and raced toward the west, sideline. But he slipped the ball to Dave Brown who ran hard for the east, side and down the sideline for a touchdawn. Al Sabp took out the only Tulanian within tackling distance. Tuiane then took command for the rest of the half. After one drive into 'Baba territory bogged down, the Wave rolled 51 yards in the quarter ended.

The second period found the Devils punt just before the first quarter ended. With substitute backs Leo Long arid Bobby Rule, sophomores, sparking the drive, the visitors plunged 60 yards on power plays with Long" driving through the line LIFE THIS WEEK!

Mudget Bud showed the big fellows how it should be done by skipping ten yards for a first down on the Nebraska one-. Then, heavyweight Bob Sweiger powered it over. But the Huskers smashed through and blocked the try for the extra point and were still very much in the ball game. That was the way things remained right on through the third period, with Minnesota warily trying to pick up a safe margin and Nebraska desperately trying to connect with a payoff pass. Early in the fourth period.

Bill Daley tried for a field goal from the Huskers' 22 but it was wide. Then came a punt exhibition and Bill began plunging for substantial yardage.
