owl Trail Ambush on Cotton pionship. But the Trojans ruined that theme in the last minute and 33 seconds for a 20-17 victory. Tnere were no last-minute dramatics In this one but the Irish quarterback Theismann kept the Trojans busy and the dwindling rain-drenched crowd entertained with his last-quarter efforts to narrow the score. Trojan quarterback Jones, with a brilliant initial effort, completed all seven of his first-quarter passes for 143 yards and one touchdown, all in the first quarter. The touchdown toss, which made it 21-7, was a 45-yarder to Sam Dickerson.

(Continued on Page 3 The winning coach, John McKay, was asked if his team was more up than last week. "I'm not much for ups or downs. You either play the game or you don't." Said Ara Parsoghian of the Irish; "It doesn't make any difference whether you lose by one or SO points. The only way you can be comfort- able on the sidelines is if you have a 40-point lead." Notre Dame registered 28 first downs to 17 for USC and quarterback Joe Theismann gained 526 yards through the air, a school record. USC's Jimmy Jones threw a respectable 226.

Perhaps the most significant statistic was that the Trojan defense forced eight turnovers four pass interceptions and four fumbles recovered. Eighty-eight thousand seats were sold for the Memorial Coliseum game but only 64,694 plus a countrywide television audience watched the Trojans pull the upset and wreck the Irish dream of a first unblemished season since 1949. After surrendering a touchdown after the opening kickoff, the Trojans stormed to a 21-7 lead in the first quarter and led at the half 24- 14. The outcome was something of a historical re-run.

The Irish went into the contest unbeaten in nine games, Cotton Bowl-bound, ranked No. 4 in the nation and favored by 12 points. Southern Cal, unranked and 5-4-1, was destroyed just a week ago, 45-20, by UCLA, which in its previous contest had' been smitten by Washington, 61-20. So what happened? The Trojans sailed to victory through the rain and mud, 38-28, and after the first seven minutes it wasn't even a close game.

PICTURE ON 3 iwlllliilllliiiili Dave DeBusschere's basket with 29 seconds left climaxed New York's second furious h-quarter comeback against Milwaukee in two days and give the Knicks a 100-99 National Basketball Association victory last night. DeBusschere, who scored 21 points and had just re-entered the game, got a fine pass from Willis Reed and hit a short shot to give the Knicks their fifth victory in a row and deal the Bucks only their third loss in 20 games. The Knicks entered the final quarter behind 83-73 and were playing the entire game without injured Walt Frazier and the third period without Reed, who was in foul trouble.

Milwaukee led 94-81 before Reed started the Knicks back with a 3-point play that sparked an 11-2 spurt. After Lew Alcindor, who scored 35 points, hit a free throw, the Knicks scored the last five points. Bill Bradley mT a basket with 2:19 left, Reed a free throw with 1:21 remaining and then DeBusschere put in his winning shot. Bob Dandridge missed Milwaukee's last shot with 14 seconds to go, Reed rebounded and the knicks ran out the clock as a delirious capacity crowd of 19,500 roared. On Friday in Milwaukee the Knicks came back from an 83-74 deficit entering the fourth quarter, snapping the Bucks' 16-game winning streak.

"We wanted the close shots, nothing high or long that would bounce out," stated Baldwin. He must have been happy through most of the game as Newby Co. consistently took it in from the key or the baseline while Pappas' three-guard offense that the visitors had hoped would run BT to the ground sputtered. "I thought we were 10 points better and that they would have to play the control," said Pappas who also admitted to a few coaching mistakes.

"They did and they deserved to win." BROOME TOOK THE early lead, 3-0, and when, neither team could improve on that until 16:41, Pappas sent in beefy Rick Diamond to stalk the baseline.

"Andy Pease' (Navy halfback) hit the end and I only had to beat the safety," Elflein explained.

After the touchdown, which left Army leading 7-6, Forzano decided to try for two points and the lead rather than kick for the tying point.

Elflein, 20-yedr-old West Hempstead, N. Y.f running back, burst through the Army line in the third period, broke one tackle and outraced the final Cadet defender for a 49-yard touchdown. Elflein said the play was one of a "Wishbone T-formation" series installed by Navy coach Rick Forzano just for the Army game, "We ran it perfectly as dia he started back," Schickner said.

"We knew exactly where he was going to throw." A turnout of 95,151 about 4,000 short of capacity in John F. Kennedy Stadium watched Navy blow three scoring opportunities in the first half, fall behind 7-0 in the third period, and then rally for its first victory in three years in this traditional series. For the ll-point underdog Navy team it was the first victory since the opening game of the season against Colgate and left the Middies with a 2-9 record, one of the worst in the Academy's football history. Army also wound up one of its poorest seasons with a 1-9-1 mark. After the first scoreless first -half in the last 14 years of the 71-year-old rivalry, Army rip- 1-1 11 Pappas, "and they finally got the' ball in to (Mike) LaTerza.

Too late!" Joe Cafferty, who received the tournament scoring trophy and some attention from Ly-coming College after the game, had picked up his shooting and LaTerza hit three of four late in the game. Cafferty had shot 3-for-13 till the last 10 minutes. The last few moments were tense as Brandywine whittled it down to the final margin with half a minute left, neither team able to score and Newby breaking his eye-opening streak. TRAILS-Other individual awards went to KnappBest Defender), Williams (Best Playmaker), Bryant Stratton's Lou Mcintosh (Rebounding) and Ted Hathaway (Sportsman), Manhattan's Glen Jay (Fireman), and Brandy-wine's Ron Hooks (Foul Shooter). If there had been a Doggedness-and-Good-Hustle Award it would have been Verkey's for his performance against a husky front line.

Baldwin came up with a motto for the 1970-71 season: "P.I. P. play in pain, that's us." Newby has an arthritic ankle that received several good licks as did Fisher's knee." And even when we get (Jim) Brody back he won't have full mobility of his shoulder." Injured and ineligible Brody might have a tough time breaking into the lineup that without much relief has worked up a 4-0 record. Brandywine court general Frank Cikan improved on his previous two-game output of three by 13, hitting 7-of-l9 long set shots. His two free throws were off technical fouls called against Baldwin (for jumping off the bench) and Williams (for an unusually high bounce pass to an official.

Pappas, who last year felt robbed in another five-point loss, had some loud opinions on a few calls but af- terwards did not feel that (t made that much difference. Both he and Baldwin hope to meet Vincennes, JC in next year's TT. The eventual national champion knocked off Pappas Co. in the first round. Newby reached the 30s three tfmes last year.

The touchdown came on a 42-yard passing strike from sophomore quarterback Atha to flanker Joe Albano. Arden Jensen kicked the point. Navy, however, struck back with a 4-play drive that covered 74 yards, with Elflein taking a handoff from quarterback Mike McNallen and racing through the right side for the 49-yard touchdown run. Navy scored its final three points in the fourth period on a 33-yard field goal by Roger Lanning.

Navy threatened three times in the first half, driving to the Army 3, fumbling it away; failing on a 42-yard field goal effort by Lanning, and moving to the Cadets' 1 where Elflein was stopped for no gain and a McNallen pass was incomplete as the half ended. Atha, 13-for-30 for 151 yards, ran into particular fourth-quarter miseries: fumbling the snap as surefooted Harden Jensen was lining up a 32-yard field goal, then setting up the Navy goal when he fumbled at his own 37 after a 10-yard gain, and finally, deep in Navy territory, throwing his fourth McNallen completed of for 131 yards, with no and Brandywine moved out to a lead that would reach 15-11 before BT spurted. It was then that Newby started a string of hits that would reach 21 from field and e-throw line before he missed two one-and-one free throws in the waning seconds. Two free throws brought Tech within two, two more a minute later tied the score at 17-17. A patented Newby one-' onKne drive and two more free-throws after a Don Verkey steal and feed gave Tech a 23-19 advantage.

C.

(AP) University of North Carolina athletic officials quickly accepted Saturday an invitation their Uhrice-beaten Tar Heels to meet unbeaten ninth-ranked Arizona State in the Peach Bowl at Atlanta the night of Dec. 30. The invitation to the Tar Heels came from a Peach Bowl official from the press box at Athens, where Georgia was playing Georgia Tech. The official George Crunley, was prepared to invite Georgia if the Bulldogs had won, but they lost 17-7. The Tar Heels are 8-3.

Before Newby sat down at 11:32 of the second half he'd hit five straight buckets and a 62-43 advantage. A crash into a wall and his fourth personal prompted the second sitdown.
