in the Orange Bowl tonight The Indians getting superb line play held the upper hand through the first half and looked to he on the way to victory when Stan Magdziak kicked a held goal from the Miami

the Hurricane needed but a yard for a first down Korczowski then went to work racing around his right eifd for 14 yards to move the ball to the 33 The little speedster then wheeled around his left end picked up good interference down field and romped 45 yards to 21-yard line There the attack bogged down and Kirczow- passes failed to connect has second toss being intercepted by Johnston on the Miami six-yard line After Ghaul had kicked out to the Miami 43 Buddy Lex on a pass play fumbled and Frantz recovered for Miami at midfield Johnston hit Dermingy for a nine-yard gain on a pass but the Hurricanes still needed one yard on fourth down Whereupon Ghaul kicked out of bounds on the six Jackie Freeman went in and punted out of bounds on the 42 After an exchange of punts Ghaul fumbled going into the line and Steckroth recovered for the Indians on the Miami 48-yard line Bruce swept over his left tackle for 12 yards and a first down on the 36 Mi-kula going to his right picked up five yards
