HIM VOU A6EEEP TD SPENp THE PAY WITH BLUEBONNET BOWL Can Ole Miss Halt Chris HOUSTON The hest runner in the Southwest will meet the best defensivo line in the Southeast when Texas plays Mississippi in the Bluehonnet Bowl Saturday. Chris Gilbert, the slickest- running sophomore in Southwest conference history, will carry a 108-yard per game rushing average to an Ole Miss forward wall which has allowed an average of only 74 1 yards a game this season. Gilbert, 5-11, 180-pounder from the Houston suburb of Spring Branch, ran or 1,080 yards in 206 carries in 10 games.

He joined Texas Bob Smith (1,302 in 1950) and Texas Christian's Jim Svvink (1.283 1953) as the only SWC players to gain 1,000 yards in one season. Even All-America Ponny Anderson of Texas Tech could do no better than 966. The Ole Miss front wall is anchored by tackle Urbanek, a 6-4, 240-pound junior. His running mate, 235-pound Dan Sartaln, will Miss the game with a broken foot The remainder of the rugged front five are ends Jerry Richardson, 215. and Marvin McQueen, 210 and middle guard Jimmy Keyes, 221 pound are backed up by Lee Garner, 223, and Mac McClure, 210 James Shows, a 215-ound senior, will replace Sartain and will be almost a certain target it for off tackle slants.

If the Rebels stop Gilbert, they will be confronted by the sprint-out passing of the heralded Rill (Superbill) Bradley. The sophomore quarterback, who was injured in third game and was subpar the remainder of the season, is expected to be almost in top shape for the Rebels. When Mississippi has the ball, they will rely on the passing of quarterback Frank Newell and the all-round play of tailback doug Cunningham, Newell, who took over after the Rebels had gone in their first four games, sparked them to six straight victories. He threw a bomb in each one as he completed 54 of 101 or 702 yards and six touchdowns. Cunningham ran for 653 yards, best on the team, tied end Mac Haik for the lead in receptions with 20 and returned 33 punts for 369 yards and two touchdowns.

His career record for punt and kickoff returns is 116 for 1,829 yards. Fullback Bobby Wade, who keeps the defnse honest up the middle, gained 599 yards to give Mississippi a fine 1-2 punch. Ole Miss, which arrived Thursday, is going to its 10th straight bowl game. It finished the season with an 8-2 record, losing only to unbeaten Alabama and once-beaten Georgia. Dec.

The Western Division race already has run its course with the Green Bay Packers earning the gold medal.

That leaves the Eastern Division sprint unsettled and the current frontrunner, the Dallas Cowboys, even have to breast the tape should St. Louis stumble on Saturday. Although six games will be played Sunday, no matter what the result of clash between the slipping Cards and the sliding Browns, the only stake will be such extras as berths in the Playoff Bowl between the second best in each conference and various statistical championships, A national television audience will sit in on the game to be played at St. Louis, with the visiting Browns favored by six points. If the oddsmakers are correct in their assumpiton, Dallas (9-3-1), which already as clinched at least a tie for the title, will back in without getting its uniforms dirty.

Should the Cards (8-4-1) upset Cleveland, however, the Cowboys would need a victory or a lie against the defenseless New Giants Sunday or face a playoff game against St. Louis in the Cotton Bowl on Christmas Day. Dallas is favored by 20 over the Giants. In other games Sunday, Sa-n Francisco is a two- point favorite over Baltimore, Minnesota is a three-point choice over Chicago, Los Angeles was rated three points stronger than the defending champion Packers whose quarterback Bart Starr is not likely to play, Pittsburgh is conceded a six-point edge over Atlanta and Washington is favored by the same margin over Philadelphia. St.

Louis has been almost impotent on offense since regular quarterback Charley Johnson was disabled for the vear in the ninth game. Since that time the Cards have managed to score only 42 points in four games and have lost three of them behind understudy Terry Nofsinger. Cleveland, on the other hand, has suddenly been deserted by its once formidable defense. The Browns have yielded 99 points in the last three games, of which they have lost two, and even had to battle from far behind to overcome the Giants 49-40 two weeks ago. They were outscored by Philadelphia 33-21 last week, The Browns (8-5), althiugh eliminated from title consideration.

still have Iheir sights set on the Playoff Bowl in Miami, Jan. 8 A victory by Cleveland coupled with a Philadelphia loss would leave the Browns in sole possession of second place and send them to Miami. Phibrlel- phia. however, could tie Cleveland for second bv beating the Redskins and Ihen would make the trip because the Browns had been there last. St.

Liuis can settle the whole problem easily enough by defeating or tying Cleveland, thereby assuring itself of second place. Dallas was spirited out of the title by Washington a week ago when Charlie field goal in the waning seconds sent the Cowboys down to a 34-31 defeat. Dallas is tops in the league in scoring with 428 points and the (iiants already have set an NFL record for most points allowed, 484. The Giants, however, have displayed some offense, scoring 40 against Cleveland and 28 against Pittsburgh last week. Quarterbalk Tom Kennedy threw four TD passes in that one.
