| A couple OF guys named Charley,
Trippi and Justice, should furnish
most of the individual fireworks in
the major New Year Day bowl
games off the season-long statistics
from the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Bureau.
Trippi, the all-America from
Georgia. gained 1856 yards running
and passing for the unbeaten Bull
dogs who bump up against North
Carolina in. the Sugar Bowl at New
Orleans. He had the best total Of
fense record of any major bowl
participant and also intercepted six
passes for lot yards.
Herman Wedemeyer of st. Mary's
who faces Georgia Tech in the Oil
Bowl at Houston, wasn't too far be-
hind Trippi in the individual yard
gaining chores with Justice taking
third place. Justice led in kickoff
returns among the bowl participants
and Wedeneyer had the best record
on punt returns, 397 yards in 26
runs. w..
Justice Average 7.2G Yards.
Justice depended on rushing for
most of his gains, picking up 943
| of his 1918 yards by churning
through the line an average OF 7.2O
yards per rush. Trippi divided his
work more evenly, picking up 744
yards along the ground and 622
through the air.
Oddly enough, the bowl games
that usually are loaded with the
best forward passers in the Nation,
will show only two of the top 20
in season rankings. John Rauch
of Georgia had the best mark, with
48 completions, and Y. A. Title of
the Louisiana State team, that faces
Arkansas in the Dallas Cotton Bowl
was next, making connections with
IS tosses.
Although he wasn't in the top 20
Ernie Case of U. c. L. A., Illinois
foe in the Rose Bowl, hit his re-
ceivers with AZ passes, good for
total of 1868 yards. Case has the fifth
best offensive record among the top
bowl stars, gaining GOT yards in all.
The Jacksonville Gator Bowl
should get an eyefull in the rushing
of Oklahoma's Joe Golding and the
passing Of North Carolina States
Howard CTouchdown) Turner to end
George BlomquSt.
Turner Completed Al Passes.
Golding averaged 7.16 yards per
rush for 629 yards, and Turner
threw Al completed passes for the
Wolfpack to account for $40 Of his
total of 1923 yards in 10 regular sea-
son games.
Blomquist of North Carolina State
was the top pass receiver of the
major bowl players, nabbing 26
tosses for advances of 403 yards
and three touchdowns.
Although the punting of the bowl
teams as whole was not up to par,
Leslie Footsie) Palmer of the Wolf
pack turned in a 41.8-yard average,
fourth best in the Nation.
The Rice team that meets Ten
nessee in the Miami Orange Bowl
leans heavily on Carl Russ, who
gained all of his 600 yards along
the ground in 100 rushes.
Rudy Gittle Doc) Mobley of the
urbeaten Hardin-Simmons power
house boasts perhaps the most re-
markable record of any player to
appear in any January / bowl game.
He led the country in rushing and
placed sixth on total offense with
out throwing a single pass. He'll
be seen In the Alamo Bowl at San
Antonio against Denver.
