Louisiana State wrapped a New Year's date in the Orange Bowl against Big Eight champion Colorado, as the Tigers smashed arch-rival, Tulane, 62-0, before 63,500 fans in the 1961 season windup. The Bayou Bengals accepted the Orange Bowl bid immediately after the record-typing triumph, LSU's 13th straight in the 59-year old rivalry and their 34th in the series. The score equalled the high posted by the 1958 national championship team. Wendell Harris, the battering senior halfback from Baton Rouge accounted for 26 points in the rout, pulling him within four points of the all-time LSU scoring record of 98 set by the fabulous Steve Van Buren in 1942. While LSU was scoring almost at will, its defense was equally effective.

Tulane was limited 27 i yards rushing and the Greenies were only able to enter Tiger territory once, on a brief passing 'flurry that moved to the LSU 38 at the end of the first half. The Bengals got their first touchdown with only 1:47 gone in the game. Larry Mclntire fumbled the opening kickoff and Earl Gros recovered for LSU at the Greenie 20. Gros banged to the five, but a penalty set the Tigers back to the 10. Jerry Stovall gained two, Harris cracked for eight more and then raced around left end to score.

Minutes later, the Tigers launched another drive, this one a drawn-out affair that took 23 plays to cover 86 yards. Lynn Amedee smacked right guard for the final four. In the second half, Tiger touchdowns came with monotonous regularity.

LSU drove 30 yards on four plays after Dwight Robinson intercepted a Greenie pass and returned it 33 yards. Ray Wilkins drove for three at right tackle for the touchdown. Mclntire fumbled the kickoff and Mike Morgan recovered for LSU at the 28. Tommy Neck, senior halfback from Marksville, scored from a one-yard plunge at right guard. Opening the fourth period, the Tigers drove 42 yards in eight plays and Gros boomed over right guard from the one.

Tulane's Ron- nie Melton fumbled on first play and Monk Guillot recovered the 26. Jimmy Fields pitched yards to Harris for another touchdown. An interception by Neck at the Tiger 33, launched drive number eight, climaxed by Amedee's 44-yard dash after being trapped I on a pass play. Amedee shook loose, found a hole and ran over three tacklers enroute. Neck returned a punt 33 yards lo the Greenie 19 to set up the final touchdown Harris got it on a one-yard plunge at left tackle, then ran the same play for the two-point conversion that tied the scoring record.

Al Rurguicres, sophomore quarterback from Lake Charles, was Tulane's leading rusher with 15 yards on (V.Q carries. Burguieres also shared defensive honors for the Greenies, making six tackles, as did DeRidder Ernie Colquette. i Amedee was LSU's leading er with 114 yards nn 12 car.
