Bobby Layne of Texa.s finished second to Tidwell in both offense and pa.ssing but he was far down among the also-rans w'hen it came to the running game. Tidwell led the pa.ssers with 79 completions in 158 attempts for 941 yards and covered 772 yard.s on 181 running plays to win the offensive title with a total gain of 1715 yards. Layne completed 77 pas.ses out of 140 for lil5 yards and added 338 on 81 ground plays to be runner-up in the overall picture with 1453 yards. Oilnter Third Harry iiilmer of Alabama, who completed 69 of 160 passes for 930 yarcfs, wound up in third place with a combined total of 1427 yards and was fourth among the as.sers but missed the first 20 nil carriers.

Mobley took the running title with a total of 1262 yards, failing by a matter of 20 yards to crack the national record of 1281 yards he set in 1942. However, he wiped out the mark of 226 carries set bv Bob Kennedy of W'ashing- ton State in 1942 and now goes into the record books with two standards set four years apart. Yardace Bill Mackrids of Nevada, who completed 56 of his 115 passes up to the post-season game In led the pa.s.sers in total yardage with 12.54 and in touchdown to.sses with 17. His average of 10.9 yards for each attempt tied the record set by Bob Fenimore of Oklahoma A. and M.

on 79 attempts in 1944 and will go into the books as a new mark for passing average on lOO or more throw.s.
