McDERMOTT MIAMI, Jan. 1. (UP) The twivel-hipped swing and sway of husky Steve Van Buren Saturday gave the Louisiana State Tigers a aurprise upset 19 to 14 victory over the Texas Aggies In the colorful Orange bowl before an overflow crowd of 28,000. It was a two-man show, Van Burma's all-around play being pitted against the whip-saw right arm of little Babe Hallmark, the Aggies' passing tailback. But It was Van Buren's day.

He made the first core of the ball game and was re-aponsible for all the offensive power of the Tigers. Maybe His Last Game The big "moving van" virtually ran his heart out in what Is probably his last college game for th duration. Van Buren and his teammates as well as most of the kiddie korps kadets from Texas will be in the armed services before next fall. The Tigers wasted no time in getting their attack underway, beginning to roll early in the opening period when Van Buren initiated a 60-yard drive with a short pass to Griffith who laleralled to Charlie Webb for 23 yards.

It was then that Hallmark began filling the air with passes. He pass-ad to Quarterback Bed Burditt and sent a pair of long heaves to Turner which carried to the LSTj 21. Again Hallmark dropped back.

cocked his arm and sent a touch down aerial through the air to Bur ditt in th end zone. Burditt con verted. The Aggies completed 14 out of S2 pusses wit the 199 yards they gained in the air was not much more than the 172 yards gained by Van Buren himself. Both teams had seven first downs. Agriea Hold Line The second period rocked along with few offensive fireworks as the Aggies threw back several LSU drives but the colorful throng was brought to its feet three plays after the start of the second half when Van Buren again tore apart the Ag- irie defense.

Smashing off his right tackle the pile-driving star burst into the secondary, side-stepped one tackier and outran several others to waltz 63 yards for the Tigers' final touch down. That was the game and Aggie efforts to retrieve victory were futile. But Hallmark, a little man with plenty of stamina, refused to give up. He took to the air agam and Former Rice Stars Click In Muddy Tilt Marine Trainees Show Huge And Fast-Moving Line By BRACK CURRY HOUSTON. Jan.

1. Wi Southwestern Louisiana institute's powerhouse offensive, clicking smartly-through the air and on the ground in rain and mud, blasted Arkansas AIM 24 to 7 Saturday before spectators to inaugurate the Oil Bowl. Working behind a huge, fast-moving line, a medley of former Rice institute scatbac'ks plus the great Alvin Dark, all-America from Louisiana State, outclassed the slower though determined Aggies throughout the game. Dark accounted for one SLT tally, passed for another and converted for three points after touchdowns. Marines Strike First The Lafayette, La marine trainee crew struck in the first quarter with Dark kicking a field goftl from the seven yard line.

After a kick exchange SLI started rolling from the Aggie 40. Fullback Vincent Buckley of Rice and Dark pounded the line for a first down on the 27. On a reverse Bob Perkins ef Rice ploughed to the 10. SLI forfeited 15 yards for intentionally grounding a pass. Dark skipped back to the 17 and then passed over the goal to end Moe Richr mond of Louisiana State.

Dark con- verted and SLI led 10 to 0. In the third the Aggies intercepted a SLI pass at midfield and started rolling for their only touchdown. Hefty Charles Steed of Ar kansas Tech knifed through guar4 to the 45. and then Charles Grav of Tech lofted a pass to end Grady Martin of Southern Methodist on the 35. Cromer Scorea Steed ploughed to the 29.

Gray-then spiraled a pass to Bill Cromer who snatched the ball on the ya and ran untouched for a touchdown. Wayne Marshall of Arkansas university. SLI retorted quickly with another score. Forced back to its 15, kicked to Dark who romped back from midfield to the Aggie 34. Bob Pillow of Mississippi Stale on two tries ground to the 21, Dark waltzed to the eight, pillow cracked guard to the three and then smacked across for the score.

Dark converter! to make the scoreboard read: SLI 17. Aggies 7. In the final minutes of play Dark scooped up an Aggies kick at midfield and romped back to the 24. Vincent Buckley of Rice blasted to the 12 and on the next play Dark weaved through a maze of tackiers to score standing up. Dark converted and the game ended, 24, Aggies 7.

SLI bested -54 to 23 yards gained by rushing but trailed tha Aggies 32 to 117 yardage by passing. In first downs SLI led nine to eight. Dark easily was the standout plaver. His superb punting repeatedly set the Aggies back deep in their own territory and his run-backs of kicks practically nullified good punting. In punting Dark averaged 365 yards with a abppery ball to A M's 30.5 yards.

Agsries Bog Down The Aggies moved to SLI's in the second period but bogged down before the fiercely charging SLI line. Gray started the drive bv lofting a great aerial to Marshall for 37 yards but two passes originating from the 20 failed and Marshall on a fourth down statue of liberty play failed to gain. SLI's fine array of backs included Pillow ef Mississippi State, Fred Jacob. Vincent Buckley. Pete Suit and Boh Perkins, all of Rice, and Dark of Louisiana State.

In the line center Ed Cloud of Southern Methodist, guard Weldon JlumWe ci Rice, end Wendell Williams of Rice and end Moe Richmond of Louisiana State were standouts. The Aggies received fir.e end play from Sid HalUday and GraJy Martin of Southern Method isr, tackle Tom Dean of Southern Methodist and backs Wayne Marshall of Arkansas university, Charles Steed and Charles Gray of Arkansas Tech and Bill Cromer of Der.t.--, Texas.

Tinsley. By NED BROWN" NEA Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Jan. 1. Shooting craps waa the Old Army Game In World War but a new all-service game is two-way bowling, and it bids fair to supplant its predecessor as the favorite pastime of members of the armed forces in recreation periods.

Hundreds of alleys have been installed in camps, bases, reception centers and hospitals from Guan-tanamo bay to Alaska and from Newfoundland to San Diego. A few have been flown to far-flung batlefronts in the Jrmbing bays of flying fortresses. Two-way bowling Is precisely like the regulation game except that the alleys, balls and pins are smaller and no pinboys are required. The bed is built like that of a regulation alley, of grained hardwood, but with inlaid spots at both ends to permit the accurate setting of pins. Alleys are 23 feet long, 29 inches wide, are set up 18 inches above the floor.

Hardwood pins are 71-2 inches high, with a 2 3-8-inch belly thickness. Balls are 3 9-16 inches in diameter. Defeats Tulsa In Sugar Bowl Fourth Period Tally Gains Engineers 20 to 18 Victory NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1. (IP Georgia Tech's Ramblin" Wreck discarded its famed razzle-dazzle offensive long enough to smash to a 20 to 18 last quarter victory over Tulsas classv Golden Hurrioans here Saturday before 69.000 fans in the most sensational game in Sugar Bowl history.

Georgia Tech had to travel 79 yards for the game's winning touchdown. With the final quarter half gone, fullback Ed Scharf-schwerdt went over from the one-foot line. The great Eddie Prokop, Tech tailback, and Scharfschwerdt altered in ripping the Tulsa tackles in the drive. Prokop's 15-yard slash off tackle was the longest trip of the surge. Score Early The hustlins Hurricanes struck with lightning fury for a touchdown in the first five minutes of play, going 86 yards on the ground and in the air "for their first score.

Clyde LeForce. 165-pound triple-threater, hit wingback Ed Shed-loskv with a perfect screen rass on the Georgia Tech 15-yard line and Shedloskv had blockers to spare when he crossed the Tech goal line. LeForce's try for point from placement was wide, but Tulsa strengthened its bid for victory when little Jimmy Ford, 145-pound scatback from Fort Worth, Texas, chased 76 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the second quarter. Ford skirted Tech's left end, hugged the sideline and outran the Tech secondary. It was the longest run in Sugar Bowl history.

26-yard pass to end Walter Kilzer, and Prokop's tackle smashes featured the drive. Prokop kicked the point from placement to make the score Georgia Tech 7, Tulsa 12. Ford's 68-yard punt that rolled dead on the Tech 6-yard line and a fumble by Broyles set up Tulsa's second touchdown of the second quarter just before the half ended. A five-yard penalty against Tulsa moved the Wreckers up to their 11-yard line, but Broyles fumbled the pass from center on the next p'ay and Barney White recovered for the Hurricanes on the Tech's 6-yard stripe. LeForce skirted right end to score Tulsa's third and final touchdown of the game.

Leforce Missea Leforce missed his third try for extra point and with the wide kicks went TuLsa's chances of victory. Prokop found his passing change in the third quarter long enough to plant a touchdown pitch in the arms of Tinsley. Parked on the Tulss 47-yard line. Prokop passed to Tinsley on the 30 and the lanky Tech end outran the Hurricane backs to score standing up. Prokop missed the kick for extra point, his only miscue of the afternoon.

A strong wind handicapped the passing games of both teams. Georgia Tech completed 4 out of 16 and Tulsa 6 out of 15 attempted passes. Georgia Tech had a big advantage in statistics, piling up 455 yards passing and running to 298 for Tulsa and leading in first downs 25 to 8. John Steber, all-America guard and Walter Kilzer were outstanding in an alert Georgia Tech line, while center Felto Prewitt and Carl Buda, guard, were best of the Tulsa linemen. The Wreckers and Hurricanes combined score of 38 points was the greatest total in uie 10 years of the Sugar bowl.

The 19 points scored in the second quarter also set a new Sugar bowl record for one quarter point-making. Georgia Teeh Tinnlev. le; Cbambera. Steher, lg Cumtnings, Hoover, rg Phillips, rt; Kilier, re; Faulkner, qb Prokop. Logan, rh Broyles, fb.

TRAPS' SKVXK IV HELMET WITH SECOND ARMY ON MANEUVERS, Somewhere in Tennessee, Jan. 1.

(UP) Encounters between soldiers and skunks are frequent during maneuvers, but in a certain armored infantry division they are still chuckling over 1he sad plight of Pvt. Yoke Low Horn, a Canton, China, boy, who "trapped'' one in his helmet. The latter and most of the soldier's uniform were buried in Tennessee soil. By MORRIS WILLIAMS American-Statesman Sporta Staff The University of Texas basketball team, with a week of practice sessions marked up since the Christmas holidays, will start its '43 campaigning Monday with a game at Gregory gym with the Bergstrom field All-Stars as the opposition. It will be the first of three home cage tussles for the Steers during the week.

The Southwestern Pirates, who defeated the Texas squad at Georgetown earlier in the season, will be here Wednesday night, and on Saturday night the Long-horns open their conference season against Baylor university. Coach H. C. "Bully" Gilstrap. dissatisfied with his charges' performances on the pre-Christmas road trip when they lost three tilts, has been drilling his boys nightly at Gregory gym, taking time out only for the Cotton bowl show at Dallas.

Summers Crashes Center One ray of sunshine broke through during that Christmas trip Robert Summers, a tailish lad from Rosebud, came through in a manner that caused Gilstrap to move him into the starting lineup at center during recent workouts. He replaced Doug Stewart, who alternated in scrimmages with Ken Diebel on the second team. Other Longhorns in Monday night's starting lineup will be Roy Cox and Jeff Kemp, forwards, and Slater "Dugan" Martin and Joe Crowley at guard. In the Bergstrom field team, the Steers will encounter a squad of seasoned, more experienced if slightly older players. The Stars have won five games and lost three, one of them a 46-51 loss to SMU.

Since that game, the Stars have been strengthened by the addition of Lt. Cecil Henry," formerly of East Illinois, who has returned from overseas duty, and Lt, George Rooney, University of Wisconsin, all-Big Ten leading scorer in 3938 and runner-up in '39.

We were mouse-trapped several days ago many days ago, In fart by several squadrons of goose-stepping flu germs.

We have no idea how many formations of these slue-footed flu fellows were in the initial bombing attack. But we know they were sufficient.

They included dive bombers, torpedo bombers and even some skip-bombers. They could have skipped it. Then came the landing craft, with special infiltration units, grenade throwers, flame throwers, and bulldozer throwers. They threw Williams. We had Retired feeling as fit as a hot buttered rum.

Capital League The Capital league has completed the two round schedule and will not have any games until the second half sechedule is started however some practice games can be arranged for the teams if they desire. The Silent five took the first half honors in this league with a perfect record. The Major league has Austin Maroons riding in the top berth wnth a perfect count in five games, and Master Valet trails the Maroons by one loss in five starts. This league is still very much undecided as a number of games remain to be played before the first half ends.

The Austin league with the 25th Officers and Firemen deadlocked in the lead and the Si'ents roosting in third place is the hottest league in the city as all clubs but The Police have more than a paper chance to forge to the front.

Pop's Pick Winner In Sugar Bowl Race NEW ORLEANS. Jan.

PV Pop's Pick, B. F. Whitaker's colt, came from behind in a surprising upset here Saturday to win the $5,000 Sugar handicap at the Fair Grounds and pay $'7 for $2. The winning colt, passed Dork stable's Go-Gino in the stretch and was safely home when Dock stable's other entry. Sugar Ration, came from far back to finish second.

Go-Gino came in third. a game they were going to play somewhere in Dallas, we think. We recall wondering why anybody would go to Dallas voluntarily. Maybe the Steers were compromised. Anyway, we hung on to 1he rail and watched.

Big Joe Magliolo thundered past and our knees gave way. Just as we were getting up from the ground. Joe trotted by on his return trip and we tottered around like an inebriate in a revolving door. Coach Bible looked at his ailing operatives Ellsworth. Mcrntt Ores, Park.

He noted Williams staggering around and motioned him into the starting backficld. Well, it was tough while it lasted. But we are fully recovered now. Yesterday we walked unaided to the first tee. But we didn't want to overdo it, so that's as far as we got.

Next week we are going to hit a golf bail, if there is one in town. Equipment is compact, easily taken apart and put up, hence easy to ship. Pits at each end swing open on durable casters. Opponents set pins for each other. Scoring is exactly like that in regulation bowling.

Welfare officers and people who keep check reveal that an aver age of 56 play 168 games a day on each alley in places where spare time is limited. A perfect score has yet to be officially recorded, but a private stationed at Fort Eelvoir. is reported to have rolled 288 in a match game. A two-way alley was mysteri ously missing from a California camp. Some weeks later the commanding officer received a letter from a post in the South Pacific, which said in part: "We took the alley with us, and are knocking down pins when wee not knocking off Japs.

It keeps our arms in shape for throwing grenades. Set 'em up on the other alley pins, but preferably Jerries or Japs. artillery fire in the distance and now and then machine guns ham mered out a few rounds, but on the whole it was an unusually quiet day on the front. It may have been coincidental but it seemed that Marble was set ting an exceptionally fast pace. Tunney sensed he was being taken for a "nigged go and said so.

"It's only 10 or 15 minutes more." the guide breathed for the third time. It was an hour and 20 minufcs from the start that Tunney, wet with sweat, strode up to the for ward command past to greet Army Col. Stafford Nordahl of Grafton. N. and Marine Mai.

Marlowe C. Williams of La Jolla, Calif. It was Williams' marines who captured the ridge after three aerial bomb ings and strafings and 350 casual ties 10 days ago. Williams said getting supplies tip the ridge was the toughest job "The Japs waren't so bad; we killed lots of them." Japs Pretty Close The Japanese now were from one to two thousand yards away. Tunney complimented the troops who clustered about him, at their indifference to danger.

On the return from Hellzapoppin ridge, Tunney remembering the long haul up asked to lead the party. He stepped off at a lively clip, dog-trotting some of the distance, and soon had Marble, Lt. Jack Turner and this correspondent puffing heavily. Tunney still could "take it." Army Defeats Navy In 'Arab Bow 10-7 ORAN. Jan.

An expedition formed swiftly when the one-time boxing titlist, now head of the navy's physical fitness program, expressed a desire to see how the marines and army troops were "taking it" on Bougainville's jungle front.

Army officers snapped up his request they apparently wanted to see how he could "take it" himself. It was to be a conducted tour, and a wiry, young liaison officer said the forward command post was only "10 or 15 minutes" up ahead. "Up" meant straight up a hill known as Hellzapoppin ridge. The climb might have been made in 10 or 15 minutes by helicopter-but not afoot. Tour Beglna Cheerily The tour began cheerily enough in a command car for Tunney and this correspondent who blundered along.
