Mcknight DALLAS, Jan. 1. UP) Bottled and capped, Just eleven other guys for 30 dreary minutes, the Texas Aggies finally broke their hobbles and stampeded Fordham's Rams for a weird, 13-12 Cotton Bowl football triumpa today.

Six brief minutes of dramatia third period six minutes of pass in magic, of breaks and of the cunning that made the Aggies rulers of the vyiuthwest for two years, gave then the ball game before 47,000 spectators. Dulled by a vicious Fordham lir.e that kept them badly off balance, wrecked their passing game and rushed their kicking, the unfurled a spectacular 62-yard pass maneuver on the second play of the third period to start proceedings. Out of the shadows into which he quietly fell after becoming an overnight hero only a year ago, arose Earl Bama) Smith, a curly-thatched third string halfback and track sprinter, to take his seat among Aggie immortals. tth Aggie 35. where the Ford ham kickoff had sailed out of bounds, he started swishing down the Adelines and didn't look over his shoulder until he hit the Fordham 35.

a ball of string untwining, Marion Pugh's 30-yard pass was there waiting for him. He took, it without a ripple and outraced Len runout, fleet Fordham safety man the remaining 35 yards. Just 13 months ago he pulled the same magic to put the Aggie in the Sugar Bowl game, escorting a pass exactly the same manner to Atari trt Aric on a second half rampage that buried University of Texas and erw a first half deadlock. True. Marion rugh mUvd the conversion point after Smith's gallant gallop today, and the score waa oniv tied 6-8, but 'Bama Smith had kindled the fire and the Aggies had another score five minutes later Gambling for everything, and certainly the better club until that moment, Fordham virtually placed the Aggies' second score in the charity dept.

in a series of weird piays. Big Jim Blumenstock, a magnificent player out there today, faked a kick from behind his goal line and passed to Jimmy Noble in the flat, the wiry quarterback skittering on 20 more Before lateraling to Jim Laming. OfTi-cials ruled two forward passes cn the play and brought the ball back 35 yards to the Fordham four. Blumenstock booted 50 yards De-race Moser and the Cadet scurned tack 25 yards. Officials raced into the play, called an -unnecessary roughness penalty on Fordham and placed the ball on the Ram one-yard stripe Football's fabulous fullback.

Jarrin Join. Kimbrough, a man Fordham hasn't stopped "till yet, blasted over standing up and this time Pugh made good on the winning point. Still the Fordhams were in the baH game, although visibly tiring in the mild Indian summer weather. Just before the fourth period ended. Joe Rothe, reserve Aggie back, fumbled a long punt and Tackle Alex Santi.ii recovered on the Aggie 44.

Squat Steve Filipowkz, the Fordham passing threat, shot a long or. to Stan Retinski on the Aggie 23. Then Len Eshmont. the running wraith, got around right end to the 20. Filipowicz threw in two brutal smashes at the line for five and Blumenstock, on a picture play that swept him through the middle of the Cadet line, went over for the touchdown.

For the second time Steve Hudaeek hurried into the game and tried to knot the score. But out of the Aggie line came Tackle Martin Ruby to deflect the ball. It swept crazily toward the crossbar, hung there a second, and then just seemed to drip back into the field of play. The vaunted Aggie line of tlx seniors and a sophomore end, the line that for two seasons ranked as the stoutest wall in college football, tm pushed and shoved all over the premises during the first two periods. Vicious charges from the tackles and ends played hob with the Cadets famed passing game and finally created the break that gave Fordham its first half touchdown.

Down on his 20 Conatser swung into a punt, but found only a horde of Redshirts bearing down on his kicking leg. The ball deflected to the flat zor.e and Charlie Pierce, a great reserve guard, smothered the ball on the 20. Blumenstock and Eshmont wormed to the ten. On the next play Fiiipo-wicz cocked back to throw a pass and Quarterback Jim Noble sneaked around, snatched the ball and went spinning to the one on a perfect execution of the mossy Statue of Liberty play. A driving burst through left fiatA Play of Opponents PASADENA, Jan.

1. (P) High praise for the rival Rose Bowl teams came from both dressings rooms after the 21-13 Stanford victory over Nebraska today. "I don't believe I saw a Nebraska man on his feet when that Kmetovic made his touchdown run against us," said Coach Lawrence M. (Biff) Jones, referring to Halfback Pete Kmetovic's 40-yard punt run back for a score in the third quarter. The Huskers were downhearted, but declared they played the best they could against the Indians.

Good sportsmanship was the dominating spirit of the defeated but gallant huskers. Coach Jones, praised the Stanfords for their speed and brilliant pass defense. He singled out quarterback Frankie Albert and the rest of the Stanford backs, and handed Palmer and Meyers compliments for their line play. "We have noexcuses," said the likeable Biff. "Stanford simply has a grand team." The Stanford "Cinderella boys" meanwhile were jubilant.

I am very proud of the boys," smiled Coach Clark Shaughnessy. wnose comeback as an outstanding gria mentor matches that of the Stan ford players, who couldn't win for losing in 1939. "You can't beat champions. Nebraska proved a tough team just as we figured, and proved themselves fine, clean sports through out tne game," Shaughnessy continued. "Whew, I'm clad that one is over.

This has been a season, hasn't it?" Everyone agreed it had been a season for Shaughnessy and his team.

Jan. 1. Coach Malcolm Musser will have six soDho- mores from last season's frosh squad to call upon when the varsity cagers of Bucknell move to Allentown on January 8 for their initial tilt with Muhlenberg. Leading the sextet is flashy. George Haines, erstwhile Wyomine Hitrh school product, who topped the frosh basketballers in scoring last season.

Joining with Haines are Joe Culbert-son of York, Daniel Reinhardson of Mt. Vernon, N. William Robinhold of Birdsboro; Morton Silberman of Brooklyn, N. and Stephen Sokol of Johnstown, N. Y.

These basketballers have been giving the Bison veterans a battle for first-string assignments. Haines start ed for Bucknell against Penn State and is likely to get the call for initial service against the Mules. Sokol, who piays center, must conquer the yeoman work of Ed Glass, a seasoned passer from recent campaigns. Silbertman. Robinhold.

and Rein hardson form a trio of guards that bear watching. Noted for their fine defensive play these lads may get a call early in the contest at Allentown. However, Coach Musser will prob-bly rely on Fred Fahrinsrer. Joe Buzaa, Robert Nolan, Glass, and Haines, to take to the boards for the Bisons. Although they have demonstrated their individual basketball ability to the satisfaction of all, the team-work of the Bison cagers Is lacking and Coach Mai Musser plans to overcome this difficulty before the first home game of the season with the Mules.

on January 9 the Bison varsity courtmen turn to Lancaster for the annual tilt with Franklin and Marshall. They return to the Davis gym at Lewisburg on January 14 to entertain the passers from Lebanon Valley. Grammes League Team 3 has clinched the first half championship of the Grammes league, and C.

Jan. 1.

OP) The little guy did it again. Scrawny. dead-panned Charley O'Rourke. the lad who put the Boston College Eagles in the Sugar Bowl, pulled them through to a 19 to 13 victory over the Tennessee Vols today in the wildest football game in the seven-year history of the classic. More than 73000 spectators terraced in the vast Tulane saucer were left limp and exhausted by a game which built climax upon climax, reaching the ultimate in the final four minutes of play when the lanky O'Rourke.

a wisp of straw among massive oaks, was the (raiding star in an 80-yard march which brough the final touchdown and victory. And as if fate were playing its part, it was O'Rourke who intercepted a long, desperate Vol pass as the final gun 'barked, a moment before his fellow plavers swarmed over him in an hvstencal ovauon wnicn uruusiio a spine-tingle to even rabid Tennessee An effort had been made to book turn pv-pnlv-matched teams for the classic They couldn't have done a better job, and for 60 chills-and-fever minutes two massive lines and alert backflelds played bruising, crushing, spectacular football that, after the earlv minutes, left each succeeding Trim it a. huere oueston mark. Twice the Bostonians came from "behind to tie the score, and just when it appeared thev might be called upon to go it again tney summoned up eu-rcrv from some mvsterious reservoir, took the play right away from the Vols, and followed O'Rourke to triumph. The Vols got.

a break in the first few minutes of play when O'Rourke fumbled as he was tackled alter re reiving a punt, and Tennessee recovered on the Boston collece 27. The Vols got to the 15 before being stymied, but when O'Rourke's punt went outside on the B.

lie piace-kirked the extra point. The Bostonians came back with a valiant 60-yard drive late in the quarter, but it was nipped as Ed Cifers intercepted a pass deep in Tennessee territory. The Vols appeared to have the upper hand the remainder of the first half, even showing a contempt for the Eagles offensive by trying passes deep in Tennessee territory. Late in the second quarter they drove from their own 48 to the B. C.

20, O'Rourke putting an end to that by intercepting a pass. The third period was in its infancy as the climaxes began to stack one on another. Burly Bob Foxx dropped back for a quick kick deep in Tennessee territory. The ball boomed off the chest of Hank Woronicz. Eagle end, and bounded crazily toward the Vol goal For a moment the players seemed in a state of suspended animation.

Then in a frenzied rush they charged the ball, and it was Joe Zab-iisi, Boston guard, who recovered on the Tennessee 17. In two plays the Eagles had their touchdown. Francis Maznickl raced around his left end for five, and Harry Connolly. O'Rourke's understudy, went the rest, of the way around right end. Maznicki then placekicked the goal.

The alarmed Vols came right back. Chet Gladchuk's kickoff had gone outside on the Tennessee 45. The Vols had nibbled at the huge Boston line seeking soft spots for offensive bites, and they found a few. With Thompson running and passing and Fred Newman plunging they marched steadilv. A pass interference penalty gave the Vols the ball on the three, and on the second play Buist Warren roared through his left guard for the score.

Newman fumbled the passback on the try for extra point. That was the signal for another B. C. comeback. Taking the kickoff on their 32.

the Eagles, with Connolly sprinting and passing and Maznicki and Holovak plunging, rolled to the Tennessee seven. Here the famed Boston bag of tricks was untied. On a backfield spread Connolly lateraled to Maznicki who was convoyed to the three vard 'line by the other backs, and Holovak went the rest of the way in two crives, Tennessee was penalized on the try for extra point, and B. using the antiquated formation, tried to ram the ball over from the one, but Holovak was stopped cold and the score was 13-up. Midway in the final quarter the Vols opened up a passing attack with Bruist Warren tossing smoothly and Cifers and Jim Coleman receiving, carried from the Tennessee 43 to B.

C. six. The Eagles were in, so on fourth down Foxx Lropped back to the 13 and tried a goal, which was wide. That was O'Rourke's signal. He had returned to the game after a long rest shortly before, and was fresh as a lily.

He passed and he ran, and he passed again. Three times running his tosses hit the bullseye. Zabilkl catching two of them and Maznicki one. A fourth time he dropped back. The Vol defense scattered, and the lad with the straw-colored hair faked the toss, then was away like a shadow.

He cut off to the right, and with an amazing exhibition of broken-field running zig-zagged his way 24 yards over the goal. It matters not that Maznicki's placekick was wide. That was the ball game. There was only about two minutes left, and now the Eagles were for the first time the boss. And when O'Rourke intercepted that final, forlorn pass it ended a dizzy day in which even the weather provided its strange interludes with sunshine, clouds and rain, and sticky heat and bracing breezes.

It was Tennessee's second bowl defeat in three years and Bos ton's first bowl victory in two years. Both teams entered the game with unblemished season's records, and the statistics, almost even-up showed a vividly as the score how well they were matched. Th lineups: Boston Collate L.T. Zabilski E.

Western Reserve Sun Bowl Victor Defeat Tempe Teachers, 26-13 Before Player of Losing Team on 102-yd. Run By JOHN ft. WARD EL PASO, Jan. 1. (JP) A powerful and tricky band of Red Cats from Western Reserve University overcame the speed merchants of Tempe.

State Teachers, 26 to 13 in the Sun Bowl today. Soectacu lar running attacks by both elevens kept 14.000 fans on their feet. Coming from behind in the second half, the big Cleveland team tied the score in the third period, then added two more touchdowns in the fourth to maintain the jinx that has kept the host Border Conference champion from winning in the six years of the classic. Both Arizona States touch downs came in the second period. Diminutive Halfback Hascall Hen shaw of Tempe turned in the most blood-tingling run late in the second period.

TempeVs Bulldogs were back on the goal line in a punting exchange. Slippinjr behind his fullback, Wayne (Ripper) Pitts, on a fake punt. Hen shaw wiggled through the entire Western Reserve team and dashed 102 yards to score. Other Tempe tacks, Joe Hernandez, Pitts and Davis, gave the Red Cats plenty of trouble throughout the came, but the Easterners pulled a triple re verse which caught Tempe flat footed on three occasions. Halfback Johnny Ries and Dick Booth led the Western Reserve razzle- dflzzle and Booth kept Tempe in hot water by booming his punts into the coffin corner eoiiKistcnUy.

Ries scor ed two Western Reserve markers in the last period, the first on a triple reverse after he made 52 yards on the same play only a half minute before. Near the end, players of both teams almost came to blows when officials ruled a Tempe pass good on lnterfer ence ith the receiver. After the game the players amiably shook hands. Arizona State outplayed the Red Cats In every department, running up nine first downs to the Cleveland team's six and gaining 85 yards through the air to 59 for Western Reserve. It was the Red Cats' ball handling1 and Booth's puntine that provided the margin of victory.

A bright sun beamed down on the field during the first half, but it was obscured by a bank of clouds the rest of the game. Boston College Coach Is Happy By JAMES MARLOW NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1. UP) Coach Frank Leahy, with a bewildered look in his eyes from having his hand pumped by a hundred strangers, stood in the steaming dressing room and admitted guardedly that this was the happiest day in his life athletically. But while the liniment fumes mixed with the steam from the showers his Boston College squad, exhausted from the 1 terrific pace in whipping Tennessee 19-13 in the Sugar Bowl, melted into a mutual admiration society.

Big Chet Gladchuk. 242-pound All-America center, swooped on the Eagles' sparkplug, little a li O'Rourke. 158-pound halfback and kissed him frankly on the cheek. But O'Rourke, who passed the Volunteers dizzy in the final period and then sprinted for the winning touchdown after pretending another pass, sat breathing deeply in the corner and moaned, about the weather that almost beat his team singlehand-ed. "That first half we were done in," he said.

"We're not used to weather like this. It was like summer in those first two periods. We never played in weather like that. We've won our ball games this year on our fine condition and that's what brought us through this time. "In the second half when it cooled off a bit we got going.

Our blocking began to work then. But Tennessee has some ball club." George Kerr, 197-pound guard, said "it was a clean game. Right after the first minute we got together with Bob SufTridge and Ed Molinski (Tennessee guards) and agreed to keep it clean. It was clean all the way." Leahy, one of the most gentle and cautious of men, pondered deeply before answering when asked if this were the happiest day in his life. He made imaginary circles on the ground with his toe and said carefully, "Yes, it t.

The happiest day, athletically, that is." Then, after finally escaping from the platoons of well-wishers who shouldered the footballers aside to shake his hand, Leahy said: "I feel that this team will always be dear to my heart for what it has done for Boston College and for me. The boys came from behind whenever they had to. This ability paid off in the end as our players outlasted the Vols." The Tennessee dressing room, in I strange contrast, was barred to visitors and the Volunteers dressed quietly and departed the same way. Major Robert Neyland, Tennessee coach, said in a statement "The Tennessee coaching staff and players congratulate Boston College on a well-earned victory." Rumor Bill Edwards May Coach 'Pro' Team EL PASO, Jan. 1.

UP) The football coaching rumor foundry was busy at El Paso today, involving Bill Edwards of Western Reserve University, and Dixie Howell of Tempe, State, coaches of the two contestants in this afternoon's Sun Bowl game. To report that he was being considered variously for the head coaching spot with the Detroit Lions professional club, as well as Marquette University and the University of Tulsa, Edwards took care of them all with: "I know nothing about it. But coaching is my career and I would take advantage of any chance to better myself." Howell admitted he was "Interested" in a Tulsa report saying that he, with Edwards, was one of about 50 under consideration at Tulsa university. Bucky. Walters a Papa PHILADELPHIA.

Jan. 1. UP) The stork beat the new year and capped 1940 for Bucky Walters yesterday by delivering a six-pound-three ounce daughter to the wife of the star pitcher of the world champion Cincinnati Reds. The baby was named Carolyn Jane, for the mother, Jane Carolyn Walters. The Red hurler beamed as he declared "Now we have the ideal American family a boy and a girl." The Walters son, Billy 3d, is three years Ten, 13 131 22 9 121 3 10 36 39 1 36 Billy Soose to Get Test Friday Clashes with Tami Mauriello in Madison Square Garden Tomorrow Night By JACK CUDDY NEW YORK, 1.

(UP) Billy Soose, the classy ex-collegiate clouter who is called "uncrowned king of the middleweights," will get a quick idea of what the New Year holds in store when he tangles with hard-punching young Tami Mauriello at Madison Square garden Friday night. Slender, dark-haired Soose puts himself squarely on the spot in this 10-round engagement which lifts the lid on 1941 fisticuffs at the garden He is taking a great gamble with his reputation as he climbs into a New York ring for the first time. A defeat by young Mauriello will blast Billy's campaign for a shot at the middleweight title and probably ruin him as a potential metropolitan drawing card. New York fans have read so much about the former Venn State scrapper that Soose will have to be brilliant to live up to expecta tions. Billy won a flock of press clippings during the summer by virtue of his unset non-title decisions over both claimants of the 160-pound crown- Ken Overlin.

New York State's cham pion, and Tony Zale, who Is recogniz ed by the National Boxing association Riding this reputation into the big town, the pride of Farrell, is taking a major risk in tackling Mauriello of the Bronx for these reasons: Soose is a slow starter and somewhat fragil against stiff punchers. Although he never has been knocked out in his 32 professional engagements, several opponents have had Billy on the floor. Young Mauriello is a knockout puncher and a fast starter who sets a furious pace from the opening gong. If he can tag the Pennsyl- vanian in an early round, he may put him away. Torpedo Tami, cock- ily confident after 24 straight professional victories including 14 knockouts will shoot the works In the early going.

Some Soose critics charge that the former intercollegiate champion accepted the Mauriello match because he figures that the comparitively in experienced Bronx Italian is a soft touch. They point out that Tami served as a sparring partner for Soose last summer when Billy was training for his bout with Overlin at Scranton, Pa. soose is the 2-1 betting favorite, so maybe the critics are right. But many New York experts doubt it. Mauriello says.

"Sure I sparred with Soose at Scranton, but I was training for one of my own fights, and it was good experience. Besides, that's one of the main reasons I wanted this match. I know what Soose has got, and particularly what he ain't got." Billy is a more brilliant boxer than Tami, but he can't match the young ster's kick. Although Soose has had but 32 pro bouts in his three-year career, he is far more experienced than that record shows. Before turn ing pro, he engaged in the amazing total of 193 amateur bouts.

Including 17 at college. He won the Intercollegiate title In 1937. As a profes sional, he lost four times. His last defeat was on Feb. 12, when Georgie Adams registered his second decision over Billy.

Abrams is managed by Chris Dun dee, who also pilots Champion Overlin. Dundee inquires, "Why should Soose fight Overlin for the title when he can't even beat Abrams?" But if Soose beats Mauriello Impressively Friday night, we are confident that Promoter Mike Jacobs will quickly wangle Overlin into a title match with, the "uncrowned king." Colorful Crowd Sees Orange Bowl Classic MIAMI, FLA Jan. J. UP) The 101 spectators packing the Orange Bowl stadium today provided almost as much color at the Mississippi State and Georgetown football teams. Thirty-odd bands kept up a con stant tune and blue skies and a warm sun made a perfect setting.

Berore tne game started a well- drilled squad, of girls from a Jackson ville high school executed precision maneuvers, spelling out the name of their town and outlining a couple of stars. High spot of the pre-game cere monies came when a company of American Legionnaires marched to the center of the gridiron bearing a huge pasteboard orange. Tne peeling burst and out stepped the Orange Bowl Queen, lovely Jean Kobey of Orlando, Fla. The Georgetown and Mississippi State bands had the held to themselves as long as they wanted it, then a group of players from other bands ganged up and staged a march. Wendell L.

Willkie and his wife re ceived an ovation as they strolled across the field, to be presented with big bouquets. For the first time in years. Fred Snite, the self-styled "Boiler Kid." missed the game. The paralysis victim, who has lived in an iron lung for four years, has been ill and it was decided not to move his big truck to its accustomed place in the end zone. Coplay High Plays Wilson Boro Friday Coach John Windish's Coplay High basketeers have an important Lehigh-Northampton Scholastic league game slated for their home floor in Coplay tomorrow night, clashing with the Wilson Boro quintet.

The Coplay team will probably line up with Steiner and Solters at forwards, B. Solters at center, and She-mock and Meixner at guards.

Whichcee, overnight co-favorite with Mioland, finished seventh in the mile jaunt for three year olds and up. Time was 1.39:35. Mioland, carrying top weight of 126, paid $5.20, $4 and $3, General Manager $9 and $4.40 and Sweepida $3.40. Other also-rans included Wise Father, Dusky Duke, Royal Crusader and Merry Scratched were Hysterical, Woof Woof, and Big Ben. The pari-mutuel handle for the feature was $148,723.

Mioland came from next to last place to win in the field of eight, putting on a spectacular drive in the stretch. The Howard charger only finished in front by a neck over W. B. Simpson's General Manager, but the result made it three stakes in a row for the Howard colors Mioland's San Juan Capistrano at the end of the last Santa Anita season, Yankee Dandy's California Breeders Champion Stakss on opening day this season and now Mioland's New Year. It was a narrow squeak at the finish as Mioland gamely withstood the closing challenge of the lightly weighted General Manager under a punishing ride by Jockey Buddy Haas.

H. C. (Dutch) Hill's Sweepida cut out a fast early pace but faltered over the heavy track and finished five lengths behind the first two with Circle Stable's Wise Father pulling up in fourth place. A crowd of 47.000 persons, the largest of Santa Anita's four -day old season, turned out on a perfect sunny day to watch the seventh running of the New Year Handicap and installed Mioland. winner of four of his last five starts in the East, as the 8 to 5 favorite.

Whichcee, winner of the event last year, was second choice, but failed to reveal his customary speed in leaving the gate and, after making a mild bid around the far turn, all but collapsed in the stretch. He was eased up by Jockey Basil James and beat only one horse, Merry Knight. Trojans Face Emmaus Tonight South Whitehall Opposes Mo ravian Boro Five in Little Palestra Here Meeting for the first time this season, the Trojans of South Whitehall High will face a strong Emmaus High school team tonight in an Independent basketball game to be played on the Allentown High school Little Palestra. The Emmaus club, a member of the Lehigh Valley scholastic league, has one of its strongest teams in history and promises to give the Trojans plenty of competition. The Trojans, idle during the holidays, went through, a short practice session this week in preparation for tonight's game and Coach Bob Wilson will have plenty of headaches before the game is over.

The Trojans, favorites in the Lehigh-Northampton league, are undefeated in league competition, and a win over the Emmaus team tonight would give them a lot of confidence in their game with Hel-lertown. A preliminary game will be played at 7 o'clock between the Junior Varsity teams of both schools. 'The Texas Ranger' Wins National Qnail Crown ALBANY. Jan. 1.

The Strike's style told in the judging, as he won number two position with only five finds, three of them In the finals within close view of the gallery. The Raneer clinched his title after the first brace, leaving such dogs as the national champion Enjoy's Wahoo owned by Dr. B. S. Lester oi Birmingham, waiting in the kennels.

UP) Stanford University's magicians of the gridiron swept to victory for tne tentn consecutive time today as the miracle boys from Palo Alto reached the peak of a spectacular comeback campaign with a stunning victory over Nebraska in another stir ring chapter in Rose Bowl football his tory.

The down, but ever stout-hearted Cornhuskers, striving for victory in their nrst appearance in the big bowl made a gallant stand, but they failed to solve the wizardry or stave oil the ligntning thrusts of this Stanford Model machine, and trudged wearily off the emerald green floor of the sta dium, the roar of 90,000 persons echoing over the Arroyo Seco, with the score board reading: Stanford 21, Nebraska 13. It was a glorious triumph for the Stanfords, a team that couldnt win for losing in 1939 and then came back to astonish the football world in 1940 with an uninterrupted streak of vie tories and a parade into this bowl game today. It was also a triumph for the Stan fords' popular coach, Clark Shaugh nessy, a fugitive from football-frown ing Chicago University, who took over the down trodden Indians last fall and piloted them to this promised land. Twice Nebraska valiant CornnusK- ers forKed ahead, and each time the Stanfords. with Frankie Albert, Hugh Gallarneau, Pete Kmetovic and Big Chief Norm Standlee battering and befuddling the Huskers, came from behind and then roared on to a de cisive triumph.

Nebraska sent a shudder down tne Stanford backs in the first two min utes of the game. Taking the kick-off, they blasted like dynamite down field to a quick touchdown. Halfback Butch Luther ran the kick off back 27 yards to the Stanford 48, Harry Hopp lost two. but the Husker Hurricanes went to work. Vike Francis, 200 pound fullback, barked 14 yards on one piny.

13 on the next, and Luther smashed the Stanford right side for 14. Quarterback Roy Petsch made two, and from the Stanford seven Luther hit for five. Big Francis went through his right guard for the touchdown, and then added the extra point. The Stanfords played around, and then drove across into Husker territory. Standlee was hit hard on the Nebraska 28 however and fumbled the ball away to Center Bob Burrus.

Ne braska kicked, and the TIModel machine began to click from midfleld. Little Pete Kmetovic skipped 29 yards off his right end on a play that few saw, including the Nebraskans. Gallareneau lost two but Kmetovic knifed through for 10 yards to the ten. Gallarneau on the next play shot through the Husker left tackle for 10 yards and a touchdown scoring stand ing up. Field Marshall Albert kicked the first of his.

three conversions for the afternoon. Midway in the second quarter Ne braska punted and Kmetovic, trying to catch it over his shoulder in the sun, fumbled and Allen Zikmund. reserve, pounced on it on the Stanford 33. Petsch called for a pass and Herman Rohrig let It fly a long one that found Zikmund on the ten and literally sent him flying over the goal line. Rohrig tried for the place kick, Tay lor blocked it, Rohrig tried to run it across and Tavlor hauled him down.

The point was missed, but Nebraska held a 13-7 lead. It wasn't held long. Stanford took the out of bounds kickoff from its 35, pounded on up to the midfleld Paul Christman To 20-14 Westerners Bottle Up Tom Harmon and Frank Reagan to Win Shrine Charity Game By P. D. ELDRED SAN FRANCISCO.

Jan. 1. (P) Paul Christman's high looping passes for two touchdowns and Jimmy Johnson's spectacular 53 yard end run for a third won the West a well-earned 20 to 14 victory today over an Eastern football aggregation that snatched its two scores on Tommy Harmon's passes. The star-studded Eastern team cut loose with a first period drive that scored a touchdown 14 minutes after the kick off, then lapsed into an impotent second period In which its powerhouse running attack was smothered and passes got nowhere. With Christman, Missouri star, engineering a sharpshooting passing offense, the Westerners snatched control of the annual Shrine Charity Classic in the second period and surged into the lead with two scoring passes, one to McAdams of Washington, and another to Banta of Southern California.

Johnson's breakaway dash behind a swarm of blockers for the third West touchdown practically washed out the East's chances of winning. All through the fourth period, with Harmon throwing desperation passes and trying futilly to get loose for one of his broken field specials, the East tried to salvage the game, played before a capacity crowd of 62,000. The best run Harmon, Michigan's famous halfback, made all day was good for only 18 yards and from then on he was bottled up tight along with Francis Reagan of Pennsylvania and the other crack Eastern backs. Reagan's fine kicking probably saved the East from a worse trouncing. Reagan raced around his left end from the West's 35 yard line to the 14 to set up the East's first touchdown.

From there Harmon picked up three on a fake placekick formation and Reagan punched the line for one. The West defense stiffened and Harmon went overhead, lashing out with a pass that Quarterback Eva-shevski of Michigan, snatched on his finger tips just over the goal. Ruffa of Duke placekicked the extra point. Christman's passes reversed the situation quickly in the second period, tying the score in five minutes. The Missouri ace passed to Jennings (Oklahoma) to move the ball up to the East 47 and another, Christman to Morefos, (St.

Mary's) was good for 17 more. Then Christman circled his left end to the 23 and, before the East defense could get set, lobbed a lazy, high one to McAdams for a score. McAdams placekicked. Christman's crew came roaring back down field again from the East 43 yard line. Christman passed to Hickey (Arkansas) and Peoples (Southern California) hit the line for a first down on the East 21.

Christman put the finishing touch on the drive with a pass flipped to hard running Banta, who caught it in the end zone. Hickey placekicked. The West led 14 to 7 at halftime. Playing safe, the West wrapped up its passing attack at the start of the third, during which Reagan's punts kept them deep in West territory most of the time. Harmon kicked out on the West 26 and Johnson, Santa Clara, opened up.

He made the prettiest catch of the day, stretching far into the air over the clutching hands of the Husker secondary, brought the ball down and raced on over the goal 10 yards away. That tied the score, but cool headed Albert broke it with a perfect place kick conversion. Nebraska sent in reserve after reserve, but this Stanford line wouldn't give and the Stanford pass defense was air tight. Early In the third period the Stanfords traveled from their own 24 on into the Husker side of the field.

Albert's flat pass to the fleet Kmetovic went for 36 yards; another was good for 14. Down the Indians went, and finally the ball rested but eight Inches away from a touchdown. The stout Husker line held, however, for four downs inside the two yard line, and then took the ball. Hopp booted the ball out of danger, Kmetovic caught it on the Husker 40 and brought the shouting crowd to its feet w-ith the most sensational touchdown run of the game. He ran first to the left, wheeled and headed to the right, and the downfield blocking that followed was a sight to behold.

Huskers were strewn like cornstalks over the turf. Francis was somersaulted by one back and was in jured, and meanwhile, Kmetovic was squatting on the ball across the goal stripe. Methodical Mr. Albert again kicked the extra point. It ended the scoring.

Nebraska never threatened, but managed to hold off another scoring threat by the Stanfords, who made but few substitutions throughout the game. Thus passed into Rose Bowl history another post season game. Stanford now had won three, lost three and tied one in its bowl appearances. Starting lineups: Von.

Followed up with a toss to Paffrath (Minnesota) to the 21 and a third bewildering pass over the goal to Frutig, who leaped high to snap it while boxed in two West defense men. Ruffa kicked the extra point. From there to the final gun Eastern running plays failed to click and ti passing attack faded.
