In Dizzy Rout
Record Score Is Laid
To Continual Use of
J and 8 Man Line
BY BILL KING,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

BOSTON. Nov. 28.-The four times
beaten and once tied Holy Cross
Crusaders provided 1925 topsy-
turvy intercollegiate football season
with its most shocking upset by
overwhelming previously undefeated
Boston College, 55-12, today before
an overflow crowd at $4,000 at Fen
way Park.
That score is an all-time high in
the 40-game series played by those
traditional Jesuit rivals.
The spirited Crusaders, rated as
Al underdogs, despite the fact they
can be relied upon to hit their sea-
sons playing peak against Boston
College. took full advantage of the
wide openings that resulted when
their opponents kept throwing fast
charging seven and eight man lines
against them throughout, the con-
test, which became ridiculously one
sided shortly after the opening
kickoff.
Left Halfback Johnny Bezemes,
Holy Cross top scorer, personally
voided the Sugar Bowl invitation
that Boston College authorities have
been carrying around unsigned for
the last month or so by boosting his
seasons touchdown total to 10 after
making three trips into the Eagles
end zone.
Intercepts, Runs 81 Yards.
One resulted when he raced Ct
yards with an intercepted pass and
the other two came after he snagged
aerials from his own Johnny Griggs

less tie with Washington didn't help
the Cougars. Mitigating against

Sugar Bowl late today announced
that unbeaten Tulsa would meet

for a second appearance, lost, 8 to O,
to Alabama, was tied at the Begin
ming of the season, 90, by South
Carolina, and won its eight remain
ing games.
Tulsa's nomination to follow Mis-

mediate favorable reaction here and
is believed will provide a powerful
stimulus to ticket sales. which have
been tagging somewhat due to un-
certaintieS of the war and the cur
rent season with its many upsets.
First reaction was that the selec.
ton will bring an influx of Okla
homa fans to the bowl despite travel
difficulties and gas rationing. Tulsa
is only 500 miles distant and a lot
OF Oklahomans are expected i'm
mediately to begin boarding their

of the Missouri Valley Conference
with total of 427 points to their
opponents 49, All but three op-
ponents were BANKED, only the
