N. Nov. 16 (AP) New Mexico University Lobos fought back to score touchdowns in the last two minutes of each half today to gain a 13-13 tie against the favored Arizona University Wildcats. A New Mexico home-coming crowd of 11,000 saw fullback Lou Cullen race 76 yards for the first touchdown and lateral pass to halfback Bryan Brock for the other New Mexico tally. Lobo fans were on the edges of their chairs throughout, with halfback William Penn getting off deadly Arizona passes and sparkling ground gains for the Wildcats.

It was Penn's kick, a 63-yarder to the coffin corner, that set up Arizona's first touchdown in the initial period. Halfback Joe Goff passed to quarterback William Peterson for the tally. In the fourth, Penn scored the other touchdown after a long drive that put Arizona in pay territory. PENN'S COFFIN corner punt rolled out on the New Mexico 3 and the Lobos kicked back to the 28. Paced by Penn, the Wildcats drove to the 6 where Goff tossed the pay-off pass to Peterson and kicked the extra point.

With two minutes to go In the second, Cullen got off for his tying run after the Lobos had stopped an Arizona threat on the 8 and slammed the Wildcats back to the 21 before taking the ball. Brock passed to quarterback Bill Geter tor 8 and Geter lateraled to Cullen for the score. Halfback Hugh Hackett kicked extra point. The third period was scoreless. PENN OPENED the fourth clicking off 32 yards in six plays and passed to end Max Spillsbury on the 23 where the drive was halted momentarily by New Mexico's recovery of a fumble.

A few plays later, Penn intercepted a New Mexico pass, and in five more plays he rounded end to score. With less than 3 minutes to play. New Mexico came storming back from the kickoff. Eour plays brought the score in this sequence: Fullback Rudy Krall took the kickoff 21 yards and lateraled to Cullen, who added 9 more. Geter passed to Brock, who ran 22 yards and lateraled to end John Hart who was brought down on the Arizona 21.

Cullen gained 11 around end and on the final play passed to Brock for the score. New Mexico came back again before the final gun, recovering the kickoff which bounced off Arizona center Donald Corbett. Cullen ran to the Arizona 25, Brock attempted a long pass which Penn intercepted as the game ended. Frank Wickhorst, California coach, is a former Navy player and coach, and long a friend of Captain Tom Hamilton, coach of the Middies. This probably is the reason Navy scheduled California in football for the next two years.

And Buck With Whizzer Denies 'Signing' Story Wilford (Whizzer) White, the lightning-legged Mesa High School halfback who led his teammates to a. 46-20 victory over the Phoenix Union High School Coyotes Friday night in the Jackrahhit stadium, yesterday denied a report in a state weekly that he has made definite plans to attend the University of Southern California. The Whizzer, who ran four three touchdowns, passed for two and kicked four extra points in the Rabbits' rout of the hapless Pack, termed the story "premature. White, an all-Arizona prep halfback and a star basketball and track performer, said he had not made up his mind about the university of his choice and doubted that he would make ft decision for some rime. of by in One Shot M.

V. Blakely, Gilbert service station operator, went deer hunting, fired only one shot and brought back a huge mountain lion and a five-point buck. That's Blakely at the left with his with his hunting companion, Capt. C. H.

McKinney, Williams Field. Blakely and the captain were hunting in the wild country south Williams, when they became separated. Blakely walking along quietly looking for a landmark when he suddenly came upon the mountain lion asleep and sunning. He pulled the hammer back on his rifle and at the clicking sound, the 200-pound lion awoke and stood up. Blakely shot, the Jrat in the neck and it died instantly.

And a good thing, too, because his gun had become frozen and would not throw additional cartridges into the chamber. while looking around the area, seeking a trail back to camp, Blakely came upon the five-point buck which had been freshly killed the lion. In fact, the lion had eaten almost 35 pounds of flesh from a hind quarter, then retired for a nap in the noonday sun. The two hunters reported that ranchers in the district who saw the mountain lion said it was the largest to be brought out of there several years. awHaMaMaMiMHBaaaiBaaaaaaBBHBaaaaHaaaaHBaaaBa I Ridden by jockey M.

Mat Rematch Slated Amidst Walkathon Some pretty hot mat "feuding" is due to reach the boiling point Phoenix Madison Square Garden in tomorrow night's weekly wrestling extravaganza when Maurice Shapiro, New York Jewish star, and Italian Tony Morelli unlimber all their grappling tricks to decide which grabs the cash for not only one but two bonebending contests. Tempe Score At Finale Is Called Back TEMPE.

Nov. 16 (AP)--Ari-zona's two state colleges, after a scoreless first half, broke loose in a flurry of scoring in the final two periods tonight, but ended the bitterly fought traditional football game in a disputed 13-13 tie. With the score tied and only 40 seconds of play remaining. Jim Montgomery, star end of the Tempe college's Bulldogs, snared a pass tossed by George Henry of the Flagstaff college and raced 40 yards for a touchdown. But the referee ruled the pass was incomplete and the play was not allowed.

THE DECISION, coming less than three minutes after Flagstaff's Lumberjacks had tied the score, cost the Bulldogs a desired homecoming victory and threw the 7,500 fans in attendance into an uproar. A group of Flagstaff rooters knocked down the north goal posts and engaged in a melee with Tempe supporters. They finally left the stadium when the lights were turned out. The Bulldogs opened the scoring early in the third period after a first half which saw only one serious penetration a drive bv the Bulldogs to the Flagstaff 16-yard line. AFTER EACH had had a crack at carrying the ball, the Bulldags took possession on the Lumberjack 46.

Fullback Morrison Warren of the Tempe team cut inside tackle and drove to the 14-yard line. Cecil Coleman passed to Montgomery on ihe three and Montgomery went the rest of the way. The attempted conversion failed. Before the period ended, the Lumberjacks attempted to pass from deep in their own territory and Ozzie King, hard-running Tempe backfielder. intercepted the toss nud raced 3'J yards for th score.

End Tip Killingsworth kicked the conversion. THE LI MBERJACKS reversed the procedure in the final period. Starting on their own 24, they drove downfield for their initial touchdown. Henry started them off with a 47-yard dash over guard. Then he flicked a pass to Marcello Soto on on the Bulldog nine.

Frank Ken-teria drove to the six. another pass moved play to the three and Soto carted it across on the next pla. Henry passed to Wayne See for the extra point. The Axemen came right bac'-c on the attack. They worked a tirst down on the Buildag 27 and on the play.

King jumped high i.i the air to snag a forward pass the 12. That stopped the Lumberjac-c threat temporarily. But on th? next play, the Bulldogs fumbled and the Jacks recovered on the nine. SOTO DROVE over guard to the two and Renteria took it over standing up. The attempted conversion was wide.

In the statistics, the Lumberjacks piled up a net gain rushing of 149 yards to 25 for the Bulldogs. Flagstaff had 40 yards gained through the air to 46 for Tempt The Lumberjacks made eight first downs to five for Tempe. At halftime, the stadium light were turned out and torches lighted on A mountain for the 63 students of the college who were killed in service during the war. The ceremony was arranged by the Blue Key. a voluntary war service fraternity.

But wrestling Isn't the only bill of fare offered, for marathon dancers have taken over the Garden, and though they W'ill give the ring to the masters, they are due to continue In action on a specially constructed platform atop one section of ringside seats. Rounding out the wrestling card will be a rematch of the fierce Gorilla Ramos-Jimmie Lott encounter, and an opening clash between Tony Martinez of Mexico and Jack Borrica, the latter newcomers to Phoenix. Borrica is reputed to be a doctor who earned his way through medical school with his grappling activities. Lott demanded the second crack at Ramos, matchmaker Contos said, on the grounds he should not have been disqualified last week when simply retaliating for the punishment he had been absorbing from the fast-stepping Mexico matster.

Last week Shapiro inadvertently floored Gus Hanson, referee, with a punch. Then he cut loose and flattened Morelli. But he couldn't hold down the squirming Italian forever, and by the time the grocgy Hanson recovered, he found Morelli atop Shapiro, and awarded the match to the Italian while galleryites virtually raised the roof. Duke Flattens South Carolina COLUMBIA. S.

C. Nov. 16 AP) Duke University's powerful Blue Devils turned the University of South Carolina's dreams of their first Southern Conference football championship into a nightmare here today by whipping the Gamecocks, 39-0. The loss was the first in South ern Conference play for South Carolina and its second of the sea son. Duke's victory kept the Blue Devils in the running for the Southern Conference title.

About 20,000 spectators saw the Blue Devils open a six-touchdown barrage within five minutes of the first kickoff and from then on the Dukes were knocking at the Gamecocks' door constantly. South Carolina, deprived by injuries of the services of their key passer. Harold (Bo) Hagan, could only stand around and watch the Dukes roll by. Others coming into the stretch are, left to right, Chancey, which showed, Donna Dale, Tower Maid, Strength, which placed, and Brazen Boh on the rail.
