this one turned into a boresome
fiaSco.
Syracuse was the underdog from
the time the Eastern champions
were picked to play Alabama and
the 0rangemen apparently never
overcame that psychology.
Alabama, 13-point favorite at
game time, scored first and when
Syracuse drove from its own 20 to
the Alabama goal it looked like a
tight bali game coming up.
But wheE Jim Georges kick for
extra poia4 was partially blocked,
struck the crossbar and bounded
back emo the field, it left Syracuse
trailing, 81.

Alabama got its one-point lead

Alabama Goa c h Harold (Red)

Syracuse Coach Floyd (B e NJ

psychology was against his team.
"Our team was in good shape
and we didn't run out of gas" he
added. "We did the best we could,
but when you get behind it takes
some of the starch out of you"

Three Alabama touchdowns came
on passes and another on q pass

eight Alabama passes TO set an
individual record for an Orange
Bowl game. Red Burditt of Texas

Cecil Ingram took Nike JaSo's
punt on the Alabama 20 and went

another individual record, set by

Sugar Bowl sports during which
Louisiana State won the basketball
title, Gardnar Mulloy of Miami
copied the tennis crown, and Mary
land and Syracuse tied for the
boxing championship.
The victory kept Tech, the ma
tons No. 2 team, undefeated in
rs games and extended its victory
string to II. Mississippi, which
won eight and tied two games to
end the season in seventh place,
was making its first Sugar Bowl
appearance. Tech had been here

But before the first quarter was
over, Techs defense began to show
its tremendous power under pres

marches on Lear's pitchouts and
passes to end Jim Stay and backs

Six Year Hold
On Rose Bowl
Grown Broken

| PASADENA, Calf. R-This 1876;
may turn out to be a rough one
in other ways, but for Pacific
Coast football it's already happy
new year.
The Big Tens embarrassing six
year Stranglehold on the Rose Bowl
came to an end yesterday as South.
ern California outlasted a tough
bunch of Badgers from Wisconsin,
10 before a crowd of 101 500.
A rangy senior from st. Louis,
1S6-pound tailback Rudy Bukich,
was the surprise hero of the vic
tory, which also served to restore
some of Sos furnished glory in
this granddaddy of all post-season
classics.
Until they lost to Alabama, 34-14
in 1916, and to Michigan, 49-O, in
1913, the Troians had won eight
straight New Years games.
Bukich, q years old and 6-115,
spent most of his college career
understanding. This season it was
to All America Jim Sears. But
Sears went out of the Rose Bowl
game after only three minutes and
80 seconds, with a broken fibula
bone in his lower left leg. That
left it up to Bukich.
Rudy came through in fine style.
For the day, he completed IL
passes out of 20 for a 60 per cent
average and 1877 yards. Before he
went out, Sears had connected with
three out of four.
The two teams--SC, champion of
the Pacific Coast Conference, and
Wisconsin, champion with Purdue
of the Big Ten--battled each other
to scoreleSs standoff through the
first half.
In the third quarter, using only
three ground plays in the drive,
Bukich paved the way for a touch
down in nine plays. Halfback AL
Carmichael stepped over, Sam
Tsagalakis booted the conversion,
and it was TO.
That was the ball game, but
Wisconsin didn't know it. Haluska
kept pitching strikes, Ameche kept
plugging away at the staunch sc
line, and right up to the finish
the visitors kept trying to maintain
the Big Tens record of no defeats
in the current series, which still
has a year to go.

Kick Decides
Gator Bowl Win

OAChSOINN l1LE, Id. WI -- Inc
toe still decides football games
and that never was more evident
than in Florida's 14-13 victory over
Tulsa in the Gator Bowl Thursday.
Rick Casares placekicked two
conversions after Florida touch
downs.
Tom Miner, who booted Al Of
IS for Tulsa during the 1O-game
season, missed a conversion and
q field goal in the last quarter
OF the bowl game.
The officials had a great deal
to do with the outcome of the
game, too. They called an Illegal
use-of-hands penalty against Tulsa
on Florida's second conversion.
Casares had missed but the penalty
gave him another chance and he
made the point that won the game.
Both the Tulsa kicks that missed
were close, but Coach ]. o. bud
dy) Brothers had no complaints
against the rulings. The referee,
Ronald Gibbs from the Missouri
Valley Conference, promptly waved
to indicate the ball was wide of
the goal posts in each case.
The teams will get considerably
less than the maximum $50, 900 pay
off from the game since attendance
was only 30,015. The bowl had a
capacity of $1,000.
After completely dominating the
first half and taking a $40 lead
on rs and 80-yard touchdown
marches, the Florida Gators let
down, fimbled three times and
all but gave away the game.
1--WE l0osened up our defense in
the second half, expecting a lot
of passes" Florida Coach Bob
Woodruff explained. THAT allowed
Tulsa's aground game to get
rolIing."l
Floridais tough defense held
HOWE Waugh, the nations leading
runner, to IS yards in Is carries.
But halfbackS ]. c. Roberts, sub
stitute who has been out most of
two seasons with injuries, and Dick
Kercher, spanked the Tulsa come
back drive. Roberts and Waugh
each scored a touchdown on short
plunges after 70 and 46-yard
marches. Each started with
Florida tumble.
Ronnie Morris, a Lakeland, Fla,
Lad who quarterbacks Tulsa's split
Il formation, completed 10 passes
for 132 yards. But Florida had the
defense to break up his long ones
and keep him from the nearly two
touchdown passes game he av-
eraged in the regular season.
Florida, on the other hand, used
its passing game as a primary
weapon for a change. Doug Dickey
threw 70 yards to Papa Hall for
the key play in the first touchdown
march. Casares scored on a one
yard plunge.
Fred Robinson, who alternated
with Dickey at quarterback, tossed

to talk about the glittering half
time show, "Flamingo Fantasy"
The game was televised national
ly for the first time (CBS). It also
was broadcast on a nationwide

Sports Roundup

ADELAIDE, Australia R-Having
just attended our first game of
baseball in Australia we are in
a position to advise the is big
league clubs they need not hurry
about dispatching any scouts down
this way.
Aussie fans are surprisingly fond
OF, our national game, as reflected
in the fact that 10000 of them at
tended the contest the same night
we did. But the caliber of their
ball is about that played by any
high school team back home.
The only place they Outstrip us
is in the vivid quality of their
uniforms-which are something out
of this world. If you've ever seen
a bullfighter who has been poured
into his costume then you have
seen something approximating the
getup of the Adelaide nine.
The suit itself is black and near
ly skin-tight. The cap and pipings
are a brilliant orange and at the
lower extremely of each athlete
is a long expanse of yellow stock
ings. The entire outfit might be
described as striking.
The game we were privileged to
witness as the guest of honor
CHANGED to be the first enter
state" contest ever played at night.
Two clubs represented South Aus
tralia, of which Adelaide is the
capital city, and Victoria, whose
members mostly play on Mel
bourne mines. In other words they
are all-star clubs, if you'll pardon
the expression.
The park was poorly lighted, as
could have been expected, and the
preliminary rites were impressive
to an American visitor. There were
no warmups and no batting prac-
tice. The players of the opposing
clubs first lined up across the dia-
mond for a salute to the Queen,
then formed a double line extend
ing from the plate out toward the
pitching mound.
A bull-throated announcer as
Sured the crowd that this was
a time-honored baseball custom.
Next he told them came the vital
business of deciding which side
should hit first. The two captains
stepped to the plate and the head
umpire tossed the bat up between
them. so help us, they went up the
stick hand over hand until they
reached the top. The home club
won the honor of batting first.
After that the players remained
put while the umpires lifted each
ones feet and examined his spikes.
No one around our seat had the
foggiest idea why this was neces-
sary but the announcer again ex-
planned this was practically the
first rule in the book.
Our announcer, incidentally,
never ceased to guide his flock
throughout the game. About the
fourth inning it became extremely
wearing.
"Oh," he would exclaim, "that
pitch was a real whizzer. Few bat
ters could have hit that one"
Or, "That was a beauty of
pitch only it was low and about
a foot outside the dish"
Surprisingly enough, in view Of
these shenanigans, several infield,
ers on two clubs proved to be
pretty good ball players. The gen.
eral level of play. however, was
amateurish and there is only a
scant chance it can improve great
ly until Australian kids have a
chance to see a couple of good
teams operate.
Oh yes, Victoria scored six runs
in the last two innings to pull the
game out of the fire.

from the tender shoots and seed
pods. Often they collect in large
clusters of hundreds and some
times thousand of insects. Spray,
or burn them with paper torch,
when they are clustered.
When the insects are full grown,
they are mainly black with three
prominent red stripes on the back.
They often migrate into houses for
warm place to spend fall and
winter, and are troublesome as a
nuisance rather than for any dam
age they do. When disturbed, they
give off an unpleasant odor.
In the home, a vacuum sweeper
hose is a convenient way to pick
them up. A good fly spray, or l

ber seeding to result in six to
eight more bushels of grain than
does mid-September seeding.

ably because seed of newer, i'm

able in any quantity. Kenbar is a
new variety that will be available

The common seeding rate for
barley is two bushels per acre. Ap-

New agricultural Agent
In New Castle County

Ralph P. Barwick has been ap-

Keep Farm Ponds Clean
With Little Expense


Folks owning farm ponds want
to keep them in good shape for
fish, game and recreation, states
George X. Vapaa, Associate Coun-
ty Agent. What's more, ponds can
be kept free from scum and un-
waned plant growth with very lit
tie effort or expense.
One application of a mixture of
one pound of copper sulfate in 100
gallons of water sprayed over
floating scum will give good con-
troll. Make sure to apply the cop
per sulfate solution only on the
surface covered by scum.
If cat-tails, rushes and willows
crowd the margins of the pond,
sickle down he cat-tails, then spray
them and all the brush with 2, AID
and 2, 4, ST.
These recommendations are bas-
ed on farm pond research carried
on at New York's Cornell Univers-
ity. A pond built at the Geneva
Experiment Station four years ago
was stocked with bass and blue
gills. When inroads of slime and
floating scum and brush around
the edges threatened to interfere
with the usefulness of the pond,
the above control measures were
found effective, without harming
the fish.

A vaccine to prevent polio is
not ready. 1t must be tested to
make sure it is safe, to prove that
1t will not do more harm than

available to the public.
There is plenty of blood to

the laboratory facilities are limit

100000 shots available this year.
And it would take $4,000, 900 shots

brought up the entire supply OF
gamma globulin for this year and
through June 30, 1854, at the
cost of $ll, 100000. 1t has turned
the supply over to the Office OF

If your area is in an epidemic

be given your children. You won't
have to ask for it, but if there
are other areas in the state with
more cases than yours, then the
chances are that you won't be
able to have it.
There is not enough gamma
globulin to go around. You have
one change in 46 to get an in

of laboratory facilities prevent
the production of more. It would
