Mayo was the fourth best passer in the na tion, gaining 1,019 yards on completions. He attempted 174 passes and completed 11 for touchdowns.

On the basis of comparative scores, TCU lost to Iowa 17-0. TCU has no outstanding stars but coach Abe Martin, facing namesake Ben Martin, has molded a solid unit that won eight of 10 games. The Horned Frogs averaged 21.8 points per game, allowing only an average of 7.8. TCU has split in eight bowl appearances, defeating Syra cuse 28-27 in its last Cotton Bowl stint, in 1957. The game will get television treatment from CBS beginning at 2:30 p.m.

CST. THE FINAL SALUTE of the day comes from Pasadena, where Big Ten champion Iowa meets Pacific Coast king and 10th ranked California in the 45th Rose Bowl game. This will be the last appearance of a PCC team in the granddaddy of all bowls, since the conference expires July 1, 1959. Iowa No. 2 nationally, is a solid i6-point choice, with its backfield headed by All-America quarterback Randy Duncan, top pro choice in this month's National Foot League draft.

Duncan was grabbed by the Green Bay Packers. The Iowa quarterback had no peers at his position this year. He wound up No. 3 in passing offense, with 101 completions in 172 attempts for 1,347 yards and 11 touchdowns. He was second in to Cojts, Giants Battle Today (Continued From Page IB since Dec.

14 in San Francisco. Whether a long rest is to be preferred to a frantic, strength-sapping finish remains to be seen. They have been arguing that problem in baseball for many years at World Series time. Coach Weeb Ewbank of the Colts has an eye-catching offense built around the passing of Johnny Unit-as, the running of Alan Ameche and the pass-catching of Lenny Moore, Raymond Berry and Jim Mut-scheller. When the Colts bowed to the Giants in November, Unitas waj out of action because of injuries and George Shaw took his place.

Still, it took a superb effort by the Giants to pull it out on a 28-yard field goal by Pat Summerall with 2:40 to go. Moore drove the Giants crazy in their first meeting with his changes of speed and feints against defenders Lin Crow and Ed Hughes. Ameche was a steady gainer in the first half until the Giants closed the gap. ON DEFENSE the Colts have an enormous four-man line anchored by Gino Marchetti, at left end, probably the best defensive end in football. Art Donovan, Gene (Big Daddy) Lipscomb and Don Joyce are the others.

Lipscomb is 6-6 and 288. The secondary is alert and fast. Of course, the Giants' main stock in trade is that tremendous defense with Andy Robustelli, Dick Mod-zelewski, Rosy Grier and Jim Katcavage up front, Sam Huff, Harland Svare and Cliff Livingston backing up Jim Patton, Em Tun-nell, Carl Karilivacz and Crow in the backfield. Grier has been injured and on the doubtful list. The Giants club, under Coach Jim Lee Howell, has a sound offense that leans heavily on the passing skill of 37-year-old Charlie Con-erly.

The Hawkeyes allowed 134 points, an average of 14 9 per game. CAL COACH Pete Elliott, who brought his charges from a 1-9 season in 1957 to winning 7 of 10, has quarterback Joe Kapp primed to take advantage of any defensive lag. Kapp was fifth in total offense with 1,231 yards in 239 tries for a 5.96 average. He is an adequate passer, a dan gerous runner, particularly in the open, and is the defensive sparkplug in Cal's secondary. The game, to be televised by NBC beginning at 4 p.m., CST, is Cal's eighth Rose Bowl appearance and Iowa's second.

Cal is 2-4-1, Iowa 1-0. COYOTE TRACK SCHEDULESET Vermillion, S.D. The 1959 track schedule for University of South Dakota thin-clads has been announced by athletic director Ralph Stewart.

The number one unit of the Globetrotters, featuring their new seven-foot (plus) pride from the University of Kansas, take on the Hawaiian 50th Staters in the headliner of a gala program of basketball and added entertainment features, starting at 1 p.m. In the preliminary fun-fare, the traveling Texas Cowgirls play a local All-Star squad to be announced later. THERE WILL ALSO be two variety features to complete one of America's most attractive family entertainment packages. Ticket information will be released soon.

The South Dakota Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Soci ety is sponsoring the game. To call the show the greatest in the Trotters' 32-year history is the understatement of the year. This same attraction, team-for-team and act-for-act, recently played to at the Boston Garden, 10,000 at the War Memorial in Syacuse, 11,000 in Philadelphia's Convention Hall and 11,000 at the Cleveland Arena. Although Wilt "The Stilt" is largely responsible for the success of the current tour, Abe Saper-stein's 32nd eddition also features such old favorites as comedian Meadowlark Lemon, dribbling ace Herman Taylor, giant "Tarzan" Spencer and playmaker Clarence Wilson. ROUNDING OUT the Trotters' roster are Roman Turmon, 6-4 guard; Charlie Harrison, 6-4 forward; former Minneapolis Laker McCoy Ingram and 6-7 forward Ed Burton, a prom-, ising newcomer.

Chamberlain, who signed a record-breaking $65,000 contract last June was the most talked-about college player in the United States while starring for Kansas the past two years.

Coach Dwane Clodfelter of the University of South Dakota basketball team thinks South Dakota State College should be higher up in national basketball rankings. Clodfelter, who is a member of the coaches rating board which ranks all teams in the United States with the exception of the 174 teams that play a "'major" schedule, believes that the Jackrabbits are much better than their 20th place ranking. CLODFELTER'S Coyotes, meantime have been ranked in seventh place for two weeks by the United Press International poll and last week dropped to eighth place. Clodfelter believes the Coyotes are being voted for by so many coaches around the country because.

of their great record last year. This year, the Coyotes' 4-3 record is not worthy of seventh place, Clodfelter feels. The Jackrabbits of Coach Jim Iverson have a fine record and of course with all their height and scoring ability, Clodfelter thinks they should receive a higher rating.
