Sinkwich Star Of Orange Bowl Win


 Miami, Jan. 2- (U.P.) - Frankie Sinkwich, his accurate passing arm and speedy feet, gave the Univer- sity of Georgia its smashing 40-26 victory over Texas Christian Uni versity in the most colorful, thrill packed football game in Orange Bowl history.
 Sinkwich took command on the opening play, before 35,5O5 gridiron fans. The 180-pound all-American halfback's running and passing set up the first Georgia touchdown, scored by Ken Keuper after six plays.
 Texas Christian took a short lived lead a few minutes later, capitaliz- ing on Georgia error. Recovering Lamar Davis tumble on the Bull dogs p, the Texans passed and bat

WILDCATS AND TIGERS MEET IN
 FIRST C0UR! GO
Wilby Favored But Tech Rated ''Dangerous";
 Crosby at Torrington

Though neither team has tasted victory after opening its basketball season, Wilby and Leavenworth high school combines are ready to run in the first game of the new year on a local court. The Wild cats and Tigers face of Saturday night at the Wilby rym and though Wilby is about 2 to l favorite, the Tech team, of it's showing against the defending New Eng land champions from Bristol is, and can be, extremely dangerous.
 Crosby, originally scheduled to meet Torrington high tomorrow night, will play in the New City to- night, at the request of Tracey Carey, Torrington coach, pro tenn, during the illness of Connie Dona- hue, readmitted to the Charlotte Hungerford hospital for treatment of kidney ailment
 Review
 Just how much the twenty point going over handed them by Vest field has taken out of Wilby, in its first game of the season, remains to be seen, though the team has had nearly two weeks rest since that debacle and figures to win from Lea enworth, which has never defeated 1Nilby. On the other hand, Tech figured to take a trouncing at Bristol two weeks ago and was defeated by just eight points, 39 to 31, matching the higlhy-regarded Monahan squad field goal for field goal, the margin of victory coming on 13 free throws for Bristol which were made good, each team scoring 13 two-pointers. At half time the score was 16-15 Bristol, while Vest field high had Wilby 26-13 at the half and finished 46 to 26.
 Valunas, Cugno and Duglicki are the Tech players who went well against Bristol, while Overton and Kalosky got IT points in the Vest field game.
 Crosby worked out for the Tor rington game last Wednesday, laid of yesterday and will be fresh for its effort tonight at the New City MICA. The team has a nifty out of 4 win record to date, having de- feated Meriden, the Alumni, and Ansonia, losing one game to Paw tucket East High.
 Naugatuck and Warren Harding tangle Saturday night in the bor- ough, with Harding to choice to win. Sacred Hearts, coached by Ebbie Conlan, and improving by the week, go to Southingtcn tonight for a game with Lewis high, coach ed by Joe Fontana, former City Amateur league baseballer. The Hearts lost very tough decision to Plainville last week and is out to get back in the victory column.

 Durham, N. C., Jan. 2-(UP)- Supposing you had spent the after noon right smack in the middle of the Rose Bowl football game, run ming five miles up and down the sidelines. hearing the quarterbacks call signals, and watching every move of every lineman-what things do you think you would remember best when all the hubbub was over
 You don't know? Well, do. You would remember that this was the first football game you had ever seen in which no dog ran out on the field and one in which you cheated Martin Chaves, the captain of Ore gon State college, out of 50 cents cash because you couldn't find a silver dollars anywhere ill the state of North Carolina.
 How do I know? Well, a dark haired, colnpactly-b young man named Lee Eisan, just told me. And who is Lee Eisan? He is merely the referee who worked yesterdays New Years day classic between O. s. C.. and Duke and one of the four gen. tlemen who knows more about that particular game than all the pub ucized experts you can collect.
 Lee Eisan is an old hand at Rose Bowl games. He played in one him. self. That was the 1929 encounter when Georgia Tech shaded Califor- mia 8-7, and one which will always be immortalized because Roy Reigals ran in the wrong direction. Eisan was quarterback on that California eleven, so you can be sure he has seen his share of screwy things.
 Robbed
 "I saw plenty of interesting oc- currences during my stint yesterday, too," he said with grin, "but still can't quite believe that not single dog showed up to be shooed from the stadium. And I feel sorry that I gypped Chayes. We always toss a silver dollar before the opening kick-off. but you just can't find those things in the east and all Chaves got was 50 cents. feel like a thief"
 Eisan wasn't impressed merely by the minor items. He is a shrewd student of football and he will say fiatly that the Rose Bowl game might have been won and lost in the first play. That was the opening kickoff. Three Oregon men hit Dukes receiver. Mommy Davis, so hard that he fumbled. State recov- cred, and from that point on domi- mated the game.
 "That was a tremendous lift" Eisan explained. Oregon needed something like that to pep 1t up and the boys really went to town. Duke was all primed to take the of- fense at once. That's why the Blue Devils elected to receive. If they had kept that kickoff and smacked into Oregon before the Beavers were set

L|NEMEN WERE SUGAR BOWLS
 CAME HEROES
Mud Causes Tight, Defen= sive 20 Tilt Won By
 FOrdham
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New Orleans, Jan. 2 - U.P) - Remember those hard-hitting, fast stepping backs who were going to turn the Sugar Bowl game into touchdown carnival? Well, they are still mired in the mud today while two lowly linemen carry around the major share of glory for leading Fordham to 20 victory over Mis- souri.
 The winning play of yesterdays Sugar Bowl game came with start ling suddenenss after five minutes and 29 seconds of the first period, and most of the throng of 73,OOO peering through thick curtain of rain, didn't see what happened. Even those who did see the play didn't quite understand 1t.
 From it's own 10-yard line Mis- souri was trying to punt out. Don Greenwood, Tigers substitute end and best kicker, was back to kick from the end zone. Rain was fall ing in torrents. Somehow Alex San- tilli, 195-pound tackle from Everett, Mass, smashed through Missouri's left side and hurled his chest in front of the ball as it came bond ing of Greenwood's toe.
 Then there was mad scramble of Fordham players after it with Stanley Ritinski, 185-pound end from Luzerne, Pa., finally reaching the muddy oval skidding along on his belly, Ritinski clutched at the ball as he went out of the field of play. Steve Hudacek, Ram left tackle, and Santilli were right on top of him. The nearest Missouri player was four or five yards away.
 Six Of Two?
 The question was whether Ritin- ski had possession of the ball before he went over the end zone line. If he did it was Fordham touchdown. If he didn't it was a safety. Re- fierce w. T. Holoran of Providence, R. l., ruled that Ritinski didn't have complete possession of the ball despite the fact that the Ram end got up with the ball in his arms.
 That's all the scoring there was two little points on safety. For the next 54 minutes and 31 seconds, the two teams, mud-caked and water logged, struggled up and down the field with neither crossing the others 19-yard line. The heralded backs-Harry Ice, Red Wade and Bob Steuber of Missouri and Jim Blumenstock, Steve Filipowicz and Joe Andrejco of Fordham were shackled by the Louisiana Gumbo mud.
