Arkansas drove to the LSU knee, returned Stokley, MIAMI (AP) Statistic of tbe Orange Bowl football game: Alabama Nebraska By TOM MUSE Times -Journal Staff Writer Dallas, Tex. LSU' fired-up Tigers, ten point underdogs in pre-game figuring, shattered the nations longest major collegiate football winning streak (22-games) and dashed Arkansas Universitys hopes for a second straight national championship by defeating the Razor-backs 14-7 Saturday.

A near capacity crowd of 75,000 witnessed their 30th annual Cotton Bowl classic. The shocking upset of the No. Two ranked Pokers enabled the Bayou Bengals to maintain their amazing jinx over their neighbors to the north. The Tigers havent lost to the Hogs in their last 13 meetings, dating back to 1929, and now boast a 23-12-2 series lead. Included is the 0-0 stalemate in the 1947 Cotton Bowl meeting of the two clubs.

The winners parlayed the running of Halfbacks Jim Dou-say and Joe Labruzzo, the passing of quarterback Pat Screen, and the receiving of split-end Doug Moreau with clutch defensive play as they shattered U. long winning streak. Especially outstanding up front was the play of mammoth tackles Dave McCormack (six feet six-245) and George Rice (six feet four-260). Arkansas drew first blood with 3-35 remaining in the first quarter when they marched 88 yards in ten plays. A 19-yard pass from Quarterback John Brittenum to End Bobby Crockett spanned the final yardage to the touchdown.

Ronnie Souths conversion made it 7-0. During the drive Crockett also had receptions of seven and 16 yards. Fullback Bobby Burnett and Halfback Harry Jones picked up most of the yardage on the ground, In the opening moments of the second period, LSU launched an 80-yard drive which was climaxed by Labruzzos three yard plunge off left tackle to make it 6-7. Moreaus conversion tied it up with 4 minutes 15 seconds left in the half. Two plays after the ensuing kickoff, Brittenum was shaken up, and his substitute, South, fumbled the ball away to LSU on Arkansas 34-yard line with 2-54 remaining before the intermission, A pass from Screen to Moreau was good for 13-yards, and Labruzzo did most of the legwork as the Tigers went in to score and take a By PAT THOMPSON Associated Press Sports Writer EL PASO, Tex.

(AP) An elated Texas Western football team closed the books Sunday on a season-long comeback climaxed with Saturdays 13-12 victory over Texas Cnristian in the Sun Bowl, Texas Western, an El Paso school, didnt win a single game in 1964 and scored only 64 points. But a change of coaches revitalized the wert Texa col lege into a powerhouse of offense. The Miners finished with an 8-3 record and had the nations No. 2 passer in sophomore Billy Stevens, a Texan overlooked by most college teams in his high school days. They scored 317 points in 1965.

"This bunch just doesnt know when to quit, said coach Bobby Dobbs, a former Canadian professional coach. Texas Christian had reason to believe Dobbs ifter building a 10-0 halftime lead and then losing. Texas Western stormed back in the second hall the passing of Stevens and clutch Je(en sive play in the last minutes. Stevens, picked as most valuable player, threw for 208 yards and one touchdown His rival quarterback, Kent Nix, passed for 148 yards and one touchdown. Texas Western won the game in the fourth period when senior guard Joe Cook kicked his second field goal of the game.

In the third quarter, he booted the extra point after a 35-yard scoring pass from Stevens to flankerbaek Chuck Hughes. Curt Parsons set up the touchdown with the first of his two interceptions. His second when he picked off a Nix pass on Texas Westerns one-yard line with 114 minutes to play. Stevens took an intentional safety after three running plays. The safety permitted the Miners to kick out of danger to the -C 31 too late for the Horned Frogs to score.

Bruce Alford who kicked a 35-yard field goal and an extra point, took the blame for the loss after he missed a 38-yard field goal attempt. "1 rushed it (kick) too fast, he said. 1IJ ake the blame. It was all my fault. Texas Christian, a Southwest Conference team, finished with a 6-5 season.

With moments left in the third quarter, LSU sparked by the passing of Screen and the running of Dovsay moved to thg Arkansas two, where it was fourth down. Moreau tried a ten-yard field goal that went off to the left. Refusing to quit, Arkansas came back to drive from their own 20 to the LSU 34 before an off-target Brittenum pass was picked off, ending that Porker threat. A final desperate U.A.

LaBruzzo won the outstanding back award in a breeze, getting 41 votes of the writer's. Screen was second with 10. LaBruzzo gouged 69 tough yards out of the Arkansas line. Dave McCormick, 240-pound offensive tackle of the Tigers, was picked as top lineman in a close race with Crockett.

McCormick got 22 votes, Crockett 18. The latter set a Cotton Bowl record for receiving when he caught 10 passes for 129 yarns. The previous record was nine set by Ed Orr of Navy in 1964. Harry Jones was the biggest threat of the Razorbacks, other than the great pass-receiving of Crockett, as he rambled fWb 79 yards around the massive Lout siana State line But even Harry the Hare couldnt make it when the Tigers dug in.

Yet the star of the East-West Shrine charity football game turned out to be uncourrsd Tod Hullin. Playing with 49 other stars, among whom were fellows who had signed pro contracts for more than $1 million gross, the U. of Washingtons Hullin threw three touchdown passes to bring the West a 22-7 victory New Years Eve. In 41 previous meetings between the stars of the East and the West, only two had done as well, Daryle Lamonica for the East and Sonny Gibbs for the West in 1962 when the East won 25 19. Although favored by a touchdown and 7-0 leaders in the first quarter, the East couldnt The victory gave the once-beaten, once-tied team a clear shot at its second straight national title and third in five years as two other previously 11-winning teams fell by the wayside in afternoon contests.

(AP) UCLA dropped its Beban football bomb on Michigan State Saturday, held off a gallant but belated comeback in the fourth quarter and upset the Spartans 14-12 in the Rose Bowl to smock them out of the unbeaten and a possible national championship. Beban is Gary Beban, UCLAs spectacular sophomore quarterback who rammed across two touchdowns in the second quarter and led the heroic nd amazing Bruins to their first Rose Bowl victory in six ap pearances in the famed stadium. Michigan State, undefeated in 10 regular season games and the Big Ten champions, suffered the trial, is entered by Hi. Tor along with a orpmising newcomer, Successor. Both dogs will compete in the all-age stake.

The 52-year old trial which has been held annually without interruption has been held at the T-P Ranch in. Mississippi for the past several years. But drought and heavy cattle grazing took a toll of the course over which the hunt normally is field, and officers of the National Club checked out possible sites in four other states and agreed that Sedgefields had the best grounds. A recent Michigan visitor to that dominated the game for three periods let Missduri waltz to a 20-13 victory over a desperate Florida aggregation in the sun drenched Sugar Bowl Saturday. Brown, who wears contact lenses when he plays, scored Missouris first touchdown on a twisting 10-yard run, set up a second period field goal with a 15-yard sweep on his own right end and contributed a futile 45-yard sprint down the sidelines just before the end of the third quarter.

He was dumped on the 35-yard line and the slumbering who rambled 38 yards for the touchdown. Juday faked a place kick, attempted to pass and was hit in the act of throwing. With Juday and Raye alternating signal calling, the Spartans took advantage of a partially blocked UCLA punt and drove from midfield in 15 plays, where Juday punched across from six inches out. buskers but recovered a Nebraska fumble at the Alabama 38 and quickly moved to its first touchdown, with nine piinutes 36 seconds remaining.iin the first quarter. This was'the pattern throughout the lengthy evening as the Cornhuskers and Crimson Tide gridders thrilled a near capacity crowd of 74,214 with a brilliant display of offensive football.

Alabama finished the night With 518 total yardage passing and running while the Corn-huskers had a total of 377 on the ground and in the air. Sloan passed to 'Perkins for two touchdowns and the two collaborated on long strikes that et up a third touchdown and a 19-yard field goal by David Ray. The 6-foot Sloan erased the Otange Bowl record of his predecessor Joe Namath, by completing 20 of 29 passes -two more completions than Na-math in the losing game against Texas last year. Sloans 236 passing yards bettered by 20 the record of 276 set by Frank Broyles of Georgia Tech against Tulsa in 1945. The slender, deceptive Perkins, catching many of the passes over his shoulder or.

the dead run, grabbed 9 for 166 yards. The previous reeepion record was eight by Joe Curtis of gainst Syracuse 1953. The two aerial masters teamed with hard-running Leslie Kelley and Steve Bowman to give the Crimson Tide more than 512 total yards, close to their own record of 588 in their 81-6 victory over Syracuse in 1943, most one-sided bowj game in history. Sloan and Perkins were a dazzling combination that kept Nebraskas massive defenders, some of them weighing as niuch. as 260 pound, in a daze.

Kelley, racking up better than 100 yards on the ground, scored from the four after 39-vard pass from Sloan to Perkins had tors their first touchdown. A pass for a two-point conversion failed, and there was less than five minutes left to play. A fumbled Missouri area) gave Florida the ball again two plays later, and Spurrier went to work again on the Tiger 11. He passed for eight, and the Gators picked up another yard j-on a smash before the Versace quarterback dived over from the two. With time running out, Missouri punted to Florida and the ball rolled dead on the Gator 19.

Spurrier picked up seven yards running on the first play and then attempted 13 passes in a row for the final marker The score came on a fantastic catch by Charles Casey, All-America end.

The remaining Missouri points came on a pair of field goals by Bill Bates, one in the second and the last in the third. Then Florida caught fire. Missouri was driving for another touchdown when its march was halted on the Florida 14. Six straight passes ate up the 86 yards and gave the Ga eastern Conference, suddenly came to life in the fourth quarter on the pitching ot Steve Spurrier, who set three Sugar Bowl records. All Florida touchdowns came in the final period with Spurriers passing responsible for every point.
