chance to catch the Tide LSU tried to make a come back in the waning minutes of the final period and decided to keep Screen in the game even though his knee which has kept him sidelined much of the sea son was in questionable condi tion This may have proved costly to the Bayou Bengals for Screen was again sent to the sidelines with about 7 minutes to go when he reinjured his knee It was obvious he was in pain as he was carried from the field But steady Billy Ezell who had directed LSU successfully in the first half came back in and took up right where he left off He passed the Tigers to the

Moore No 2 quarterback at Texas is a pitcher and an outfielder and when he plays baseball he throws left handed But when on the football field he is a right handed passer The most unusual pro grid rookie of all may be Jim Baffico Baffico is a 270 pounder with Buffalo They call him Box Car because of his size but he came within sone stroke of qualifying for the Open Golf Tournament and is a fine tennis player The screen pass is supposed to be a taboo thing on first down but in the old All America Conference days Otto Graham recalls calling the play from his own six inch line (this was be fore Paul messenger boys) and Mac Speedie took the flip and ran 100 yards for a Cleveland touchdown against Buffalo the likely champ The announcement by Tram mell and Creamer was as fol lows: Peanut Bowl

not seen the Eagles this year are in for a real offensive treat Joe Kelley is one of the finest quarterbacks seen all year and Danny Grant one of the most exciting runners The entire Ozark club is ex

intercepted one of passes in the end zone to kill that drive Alabama then wasted the 2 seconds left on the clock Alabama fell behind early when halfback John Mosley fumbled a punt on the Crimson Tide
