A Gator bowl record crowd of 45,104 and a national television audience watched the Razorbacks complete "meat grinder" touchdown marches of 62 yards in the second period and 78 yards in the third. During those two sustained drives, Arkansas threw only one pass. This was Arkansas first major bowl victory in three tries. Mooty, who had decided to It vvas a rewarding triumph for Arkansas Coach Frank Broyles, a Dodd protege handling a bowl game for the first time.

The Porkers, outweighed an average of 16 pounds per man in the starting lineup, fell behind in the first period when Georgia Tech Quarterback Marvin Tibbetts sprinted 51 yards from scrimmage for a touchdown. However, Arkansas, which had possession of the ball for only four plays Including one punt, during the entire tributed vital rushing yardage in each march. The 22-year-old senior from El Dorado, did not participate in Arkansas' spring football drills and rejoined the squad in the fall only after being given a go ahead by a doctor. On his game-winning run, Mooty took a pitchout from Quarterback Jim Monroe, cut in over right tackle, picked up a key block and went over for the score.

CD The Gator bowl marked Its 15th anniversary football game yesterday with an 80-page program dedicated to the memory of Jim Tatum.

Tibbett's 51-yard run in the first period was a masterpiece of split-T execution.

-Taking the ball from center, the 190-pound junior from Atlanta faked a pitchout to a halfback running wide, and kept the ball himself. He swung wide to his left, cut back toward the center of the field after passing tha line of scrimmage, eluded a few Razorback tacklers and continued the rest of the way unmolested.

He then directed the amazing drive that brought victory. Meredith waa voted the game's outstanding player with lineman honors going to giant Lou Cordileone of Clemson, tackle for the East.

The first touchdown came in the second quarter when Michigan State's Dean Look fumbled at the IS as he was hit hard by Ben Robinson of Stanford and Don Floyd of TCU. Notre Dame Quarterback Ceorge Izo solidified the sputtering East attack and engineered two touchdown drives In the second half, Ohio State's Bob White scored the first from the two after gaining 40 yards in a 55-yard drive. Monte Stickles of Notre Dame, who earlier missed a field goal attempt from the 25, booted the first of two conversions. Early in the fourth period Isio hit Don Norton of Iowa on a 52-yard pass play that put the East ahead 14 to 7. With less than four minutes remaining Iowa's Ray Jauch fumbled and Wilcox recovered at the East 22.

Meredith's first pass was incomplete. But then he hit Burford for the score. After losing a chance to win Bucek's field goal attempt failed, the West got mil an. other shot at victory and made good.

West Romps On Late Rally By JACK STEVENSON, Associated Press Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO CD Quarterback Don Meredith passed to halfback Dick Bass on a nine-yard touchdown play with Just 55 seconds remaining to give the West a 21-14 hair raising victory over the East yesterday. The crowd of 60,000 in Kezar stadium had felt this 35th annual Shrine game would end in a tie when Rice halfback Bill Bucek -cnA i 4 ry 0) Pcd touchdown 43 seconds before halftime killed us.

Remember, we had stopped them three times deep in our territory. Then we had to get that penalty (15 yards from Max Fugler grabbing a face mask) and two plays later they had the touchdown. We were fortunate that they didn't score more than twice in the last half" Rebels Used Scoring Pass Often During '59 Season The pass Dietzel and McClendon insists ruined the Tigers was one the Rebels used several times during the game but not against LSU in their previous meeting It's what they call their "drop back pass" The quarterback (Jake Gibbs on this play) takes the ball, drops back and fades to his right The ends and backs go down field, the wingback, who was Woodruff on this play, delaying his start briefly The LSU defense shifted to cover the two deep men on the rijiht side and Warren Rabb swung over to cover Larry Grantham, the left end who went down and out That left the boulevard clear for Woodruff to ramble down and take the touchdown pass It was so perfectly executed that it looked like the cheapest of cheap touchdowns. The fullback pass to Charlie Flowers gave the Tigers countless headaches It figured in only the third period touchdown but they hurt otherwise The Jour the All-Atnerican fullback grabbed equalled the number he caught all season He took one from Gibbs for 11 yards on Ole Miss' first scrimmage play That warned the Tigers they mst keep an eye on Flowers on every passing situation. Howard Praises Passing of Ole Miss Some scribes were critical of the LSU pass defense and it brought a rejoinder from Frank Howard, Clemson coach.

"When the pros hit on passes like Ole Miss did, they play up the great passing," Prank said. "I don't see why you guys don't give Ole Miss credit. They, threw well and had some fine patterns. That first one looked too easy. I never got one that easy in all my coaching.

Well, yes, I do believe I did once or twice." Bruiser Kinard, one of the veteran Ole Miss assistants, felt the Rebels should have had a couple of more first half touchdowns. "We were not as sharp in the early part of the game as we were against Arkansas" said the two-time All-American tackle who also was five times All-Pro. "We very easily could have had two more touchdowns in the first quarter" Johnny Cain, the backfield coach, expressed siimlar opinions. Teams Differ on Effects of Playing Fields The two teams differ on the parts the playing field played in the two meetings LSU insists the Sugar bowl was worse than their water-logged field at Baton Rouge Ole Miss maintains the Baton Rouge field oozed water so much that it was impossible for pass receivers to cut and that the ball was wet The high grass at Baton Rouge contrasted to practically no grass here. Billy Cannon, who was limited to eight yards, the lowest in his entire career, summed up the loss to Ole Miss with these words: "Ole Miss was the best team out there today.

We had a good team and a goad season, but don't forget, it was different the past season than two years ago. We got to walk in a few back doors that first year. It's different when you're on top." The Rebels never tried-harder, to gain the top rung than they did in the massacre of the Bengals But this rematch lacked -a lot in coming close to providing the dramatic suspense of the Halloween thriller Lightning isn't supposed to strike twice in the same place and it didn't. 0n-And-0n Wins Orange Bowl By One Length MIAMI, Fla.
