NEW YORK, Jan. q up -
Everywhere but at New Orleans
where Fordham slogged to a 2
to 0 triumph over Missouri
touchdowns in the annual foot
ball bowl games yesterday were
as numerous as New Years Day
headaches.
At Miami, Georgia and Texas
Christian players popped over
the goal line with all the regu-
lGrity of habit running the best
of resolutions as the Bulldogs OF
Southeast Conference triumph
ed, 40 to 26.
Oregon State got three and
Duke two as the West Coast
champions fooled everyone but
their coach in upsetting the Blue
Devils, 20 to 16, in the Rose
Bowl game at Durham, N. c.
'BAMA WHIPS AGGIES
And Alabama crossed the dou-
BILE stripe four times and Texas
A g. M three times in The Grim
son Tides 20 to FL Cotton Bowl
victory.
The Fordham Missouri score
wasn't a surprise. 1t was a COM
pliment to the two teams who
were forced to play on a field
that e m b e d a Louisiana
Bayou. Fordham's two points
came early in the first period
when Don Greenwood, Missouri
end, dropped back to punt and
the water : ogged boot was
blocked by tackle Alex Santilli
of the Rams. The ball squirted
through the end zone before
Stan Ritinski, Fordham TANKER,
got control of it.
MIZZUH PASSES CLICK
That was all the scoring the
$4,000 spectators, most of them
peeking from beneath umbrel-
las, saw although each club gain
ed approximately $50 yards and
the supposedly non-passing Mid
westerners completed three aeri-
ais in five tries.
In Manufacturing their upset,
the lowly rated Oregon Staters
scored first and never permitted
the Wanted Duke squad to get
ahead, much to the dismay of
the $4,000 damp spectators who
damned their way into the stadi-
UNI built to hold but $4,000.
Don Durdan, the slim half
back who passes with his left
hand, was the payoff player al
t h u g h the Beavers winning
touchdown was manufactured on
a 70-yard pass and run play from
Bob Dethman to Gene Gray in
the third Period.
ONE FIRST DOWN
Alabama used the minimum
of effort in turning back the
Cadets of Texas A e. M, col
lecting its four touchdowns
while gaining only rs yards by
rushing and passing while reg
istering but lone first down.
The Texans, who could get only
three touchdowns, gained 500
yards and Is first downs.
The Tides success was trib-
ute to Jimmy Nelson, their ace
back, who scampered ~ yards
on q punt return and later regis
tered from 81 yards out.
SINKWICH Is DIFFERENCE
Frank Sinkwich, the broken
jawed All America halfback
was the difference b tw e r
Georgia and the Texas Christian
the latter eleven dropping it:
first Bowl decision in four out
ings.
Three times Sinkwich flippe6
scoring aerials and once he
broke loose on a 43-yard touch
down jaunt of his own. He anc
his mates combined for q 40 tc
7 lead before the Texans realized
the game was under way.
On the other B o WI fronts
Tulsa's Missouri Valley cham
pions lasted for a fourth perioC
touchdown and 6 to 0 verdict
over Texas Tech in the Sur
Bowl; Langston, Okla, blanket
Morris Brown, Is to 0, in the
Vulcan Bowl for the Negro
championship and L ouisi an,
College bested the University o.
Mexico, 10 to 0, in Mexico City
