Jan.

2, (IP) Oregon State's "Orphans of the Tall Timber" the bunch of kids who didn have a chance threw lightning through the mud and murk j'esterday to win the orphaned Rose Bowl game, A 70 yard aerial bolt in the third quarter put the crusher on Duke's high and mighty Blue Devils for a 20 to 16 triumph for the three to one underdogs, after 56,000 gridiron bugs, sardined in this big sunken concrete coffee cup, watched the Dukes come from behind twice to tie the score. oarently that was just what tnej gut at was only the payoff handle a slippery ball ani decide whether the No. 2 surprise was the way i a wrecked or Fordham Jim Crowley stunt of springing a formation on Missouri Most of Ford ham's good gains came on quick opening plays that were to be a Tiger specialty.

That was when Simone simou, mc vie eyeful, visited the practice field and the photogs wanted her i sinkwich. It took consider able coaxing to get the Croatian pitch. Before that, during it and afterward, the busy Beavers from the Northwest pushed Duke's hitherto unbeaten powerhouse all over the lot, except for a comparatively few minutes when the Blue Devils' reverses were reversing and their passes weren't sliding off receivers' fingertips, The Oregons were never behind at any point.

From the opening kickoff, which Tom Davis fum bled for Duke and George Peters picked up for the Beavers on the Blue Devil twenty nine, to the final gun, which sounded just after Bob Dethman went into the air fo. the fourth interception of a Duke pass, the Southern Conference champions had to fight uphill all the way. And this Oregon hill was just too steep for the Dixie machine.

There wasn't another man near him and he cake walked home. That was the end for the Dukes, although three times in the fourth quarter they got inside Oregon State's thirty five, once going to the twenty before George Peters intercepted a pass to end the threat. Thus, the Rambler Rose Bowl game, the tussle th. the war cancelled once and then moved East where tobacco town gave it a home, marked the fourth straight year that the Pacific Coast Con ference champion picked up the It was the second time in three years Wallace Wade and his Dukes were knocked off during that period. But probably never in the quarter century history of the Tournament of Roses had such a completely overlooked betting underdog jumped up to bite the big fellows.

But these two just fribbled off Storer's stretching fingertips, and by the time big Gantt did connect with one on the five, there wasn't time to cash in before the intermission. Statistically, there wasn't much more than a whisker between the two. Duke rolled up fifteen first plays, with the help of a critical downs to fourteen.

Oregon State rougning penalty that put the ball, pushed along for a total net ad on Oregon's one yard line, But except for those two tours, and a bad pass from Oregon's cen ter that resulted in Duke's other two points, this show was strictly Oregon Don Durdan, the slim speedster who pitches 'em left handed but runs 'em with both feet, and Dethman, who was just that Deathman to Duke on passes, led the Oregon chorus all afternoon. But in the end, the payoff was put on by a little heralded reserve back, Gene Gray, who caught Deth man's heave on the seventy yard clincher play and turned in a bit of swivel hipping that would have done credit to a Red Grange. He took the long pitch it sailed forty two yards through the air on Duke's twenty eight as Sub Man Bill Byrd came charging up. For what seemed like minutes vance of 302 yards passing and rushing to 295 for the Dukes. In the third period once of Lach's needle threading punts went out of bounds on the Oregon State three, This punt of Lach's was only one of a series of beauty boots he and Durdan turned in throughout the afternoon.

Neither got off a bad kick at any time, and countering Steve's out of bounder on the three which led to the Duke safety, Durdan dotted an eye with one on the Blue Devil three in the fading minutes that ended all hope the Dixie defenders had of fighting back to win.

M. By HAROLD V. RATCLIFF Dallas, Jan. 2, (JP) A ghost in a crimson shirt skipped through the Texas Aggies yesterday as Jimmy Nelson carried Alabama to a 29 21 victory in the sixth annual Cotton Bowl football game. The chunky, black haired scourge of the Southeastern Conference gridirons broke the Aggies' backs with a 72 yard touch down dash in the third period and before the quarter ended stormed 21 yards for another score.

This gave the Crimson Tide a lead the Aggies never could over take although the Texans got two touchdowns in the final pe riod and were driving toward another when Dave Brown inter cepted a pass to halt the threat with only seconds to go. Nelson proved as elusive as balloon. On neither of his runs did an Aggie lay a hand on him His great punting, passing and de fensive work also stood out on the versatile Tide team, A. and M. took a 7 0 lead in the second period on some plain and fancy stepping by sophomore Leon Daniels, then Jimmy made himself felt.

He got off a beautiful quick kick that carried 54 yards and was fumbled by Daniels on the Aggie 25with tackle Don Whit mire pouncing on theball. Nelson pitched one over the line to All America Holt Rast for 17 yards and then after two passes failed, he caught the Aggies flat footed with a reverse to Russ Craft. The latter whipped around left end and crossed the goal un touched. The Aggie score came after Daniels returned Nelson's punt from the A. and M.

39 to the Alabama 18. In three plays the Cadets had a touchdown, Daniels pitching a pass over the line to Harold Cowley, who took it on the eight and cut across the field to go over standing up. The field goat was a 22 yard boot by guard George Hecht, and Rast intercepted a desperate Ag gie pass to run 10 yards for the touchdown. The Aggies got their second touchdown with only two minutes to go. Daniels led a passing attack that brought the counter.

An interference penalty had given A. and M. the ball on the Alabama 35. Daniels pitched from the 35 to Cowley on the Tide nine. Then Jake Webster went over from the one.

The last Aggie counter came with only 30 seconds. A. and M. had taken over at midfield when Derace Moser flipped a long pass which Nelson tipped into Jim marked, "We looked pretty good ZZZTiZ Pos. in the second halt, but they outplayed us in the first."

Geor gia's Southeastern Conference Bulldogs out dazzled Texas Christian of the Southwest yesterday in the most gaudy football exhi bition the Orange Bowl's pageantry ever has produced.

All America Frankie Sinkwich, greater than ever, showed the way to his mates in a sensational 40 to 36 triumph that spoiled the brightest January 1 Bowl record in all the land. Until yesterday, the Horned Frogs had not tasted defeat in a Bowl game. They had won three straight. But the Bulldogs, striking lightning like for three pe riods, buried the T. C.

U. treasure in the Orange Bowl turf. An amazing last gasp surge by the Texans pulled them within striking distance late in the show after they had trailed 40 to 7 earlier in the third period. The sellout crowd of 35,505 still was gasping at the end. Sinkwich had a hand in all but two of the Georgians' six touchdowns, and he helped set up one of the other pair.

The rampant Bulldogs, making their first Bowl appearance, smashed to a touchdown the first time they got their hands on the ball. It was a sixty four yard march that paid off, the big punch being a pass from Sinkwich to Lamar Davis good for thirty two yards to the T. C. U. ten.

Kenneth Keu per finally plunged over from the two. Lee Costa, Georgia's place kick specialist, saw his try for point blocked. The Texans took advantage of a break a few minutes later to take a short lived lead. Keuper fumbled and Captain Bill Craw ford recovered on the Bulldog thirty two. Georgia was called on a pass interference penalty and T.

C. U. took the ball on the four. Kyle Gillespie plunged over and Frank Medanich place kicked the point that looked big, but only for a minute. Three plays after the kick off, Sinkwich playing in the special mask that protects his once broken jaw threw a pass to End Melvin Conger on a play that covered sixty one yards for a touchdown.

Costa again had a place kick deflected. The sensational Sinkwich gave the Georgians their third first period score when he tossed to Acting Captain Cliff Kimsey, who tools the twenty five yard heave on th Texas Christian thirty five and outraced the defenders to the goal. Costa this time made good. Sinkwich threw one more touchdown strike in the second period before retiring to give his substitute, Jim Todd, a chance. Frankie's fourteen yard toss to Keuoer.

who shook off several tacklers, concluded a thirty five yard drive. Costa came through again. Todd rose to the occasion with a twenty three yard touchdown toss to Davis that ended the second period touchdown getting Costa's placement was good and the Georgians held a 33 to 7 edge at the half. Sinkwich scored personally for the only time early in the third period, breaking loose for forty three yards to climax an eighty' vard march from the kick off. Costa's tilace kick ended the Bull doe scorine then T.

C. U. took over. Late in the third, Emery Nix thrpw to Bruce Alford on a twenty yard scoring play. Alford raced the end zone early in the fourth and hauled in a fifteen yard toss from Gillespie, and the Texans were on the move Ronnie Brumbaugh got the point with a placement and T.

C. U. was behind, 40 to 20. Gillespie hit Fullback Frank Kring with a short toss in the closing minutes and the tiring Texan raced all the way over on play that covered fifty tour yards. Roach's placement was wide, and the scoring was over.

First Period Safety Gives Rams Victory Over Missouri Team Blocked Punt in Opening Quarter Paves Way for Safety for Fordham as Missouri Passing and Running Attack Bogs Down in Field Covered With Mud By ROMNEY WHEELER New Orleans, Jan. 2, UP) Military logic was reversed in the Sugar Bowl yesterday as a great Fordham football team made defense its best offense and beat Missouri 2 0 before 73,000 fans. Fordham won and Missouri lost on the 15th play of a muddy game when towering Alexl Santilli, 195 pound Fordham tackle from Everett, smash ed through the Tiger line on the 10 to block Don Greenwoods punt.

The ball bounded into the air, fell well back in the endzone and' wr. A rolled beyond for an automatic! Unbeaten Lions Will Get safety just as Stan Ritinski fell on it. Had the Fordham end grabbed it a yard sooner, it would have been a touchdown for the Rams. But the Fordhams didn't need it. For 55 minutes they repelled the thrusts of Missouri's hard running, hard hitting backs.

Again and again during the battle Harry Ice and Bob Steuber fought their way into the Rams' front yard, but each time Fordham turned them back. It was Jim Blumenstock's kick into the Missouri end zone in the first five minutes of play which set up the only score. Red Wade's hands slipped on the muddy ball as he headed off tackle and the Tigers were set back 11 yards when the scramble for the ball was over. Steuber hit right guard for a 6 yard and then Greenwood dropped back behind his own goal for the ill fated punt. The sloppy going caused a half' dozen fumbles in the first half three each by the mud caked con tenders.

Midway in the second period Missouri started from the Tiger 17, and Ice shook loose for, 23 yards after a lateral from Ha fold Adams. As he crossed the 50 a tordham tackle sent the ball skidding from his grasp and Joe Ososki fell on it for the Rams, Then Fordham lost 23 yards on the next two plays on fumbles, winding up with a punt from their own 27. Missouri, gambling everything for a chance at a touchdown, surged upfield for a final bid in the fourth quarter. Starting from the Tiger 28 after Blumenstock kicked out of Missouri mixed flashy reverses and laterals with savage line stabs to work the ball 48 yards to the Rams' 24. There Fordham's mighty line dug in.

Adams lateralled to Steuber, and the Middlewest's express train was derailed for a four yard loss. Adams lateralled to Ice, for no gain. Then Steuber, faded back to whip a desperate! third down pass 30 yards to End Jack Lister on the goal line, but the ball bobbed away from him after barely flicking his fingers. Fourth down, scarcely three minutes to play and Steuber dropped back to Fordham 35. With Ice holding, he made Missouri's last gamble, a try for a field goal.

The soggy ball boomed upward, but. the zip wasn't behind it. While half a stadium of Missouri sup porters groaned away their final hopes, the pigskin splashed in a puddle six yards short of the up rights. In the first quarter Missouri threatened when Ice broke away on a lateral from Adams and scooted 33 yards to Fordham's 47 before he was dragged down from behind by Center Joe Sabaste anski. Ice and Steuber hit the line for four more, and then Ice whip Albright Five Faces Wyoming Severe Test in Tonight's Tilt Reading, Jan.
