Favorites Come Through

In 4 Major Bowl Games

By THE CANADIAN PRESS

The favorites came through with victories in the four major bowl football games New Year’s Day,_ and in three of the games did it in handsome fashion.

But in the fourth, the classic at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl, power- ful Ohio State squeaked by a fired-up Oregon team by the thin margin of a field goal instead of three touchdowns predicted by most fans. Final score was 10-7.

Tom Forrestal led his Navy

, team to a surprisingly easy 20-7

win over Rice University at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, T.ex., in what had been touted as the closest-matched game of the day. Navy had been rated a one-point favorite.

At Miami, an alert Oklahoma team continued its winning ways by powering past Duke Univer- sity 48-21 .in the Or-ange Bowl. And in New Orleans’ Sugar Bowl, Mississippi_.1‘0mped to a 39-7 victory over Texas before 82,000 fans.

The four games attracted more than 332,000 fans with the largest crowd, 98,202, sitting in at the Rose Bowl. The Orange Bowl at- tracted 76,318 and the Cotton Bowl 75.504.

In the minor bowl competition, Louisville defeated Drake 34-20 in the Sun Bowl at El Paso, Tex., and Prairie View A and M and Texas Southern played to a 6-6 tie in the Prairie View Bowl at Houston.

Ohio State, seeking its third Rose Bowl victory, scored the first time it got the ball, driving 79 yards with quarterback Frank Kremblras making the final yard and kicking the extra point.

But the speedy Webfoots struck back in the second qu-ar»ter, cli- maxing an 80-yard drive with Jim Shanley scoring from the five. Jack Morris kicked the extra point to tie the score. And, that i the way it remained until early

in the fourth quarter when Don Sutherin kicked an Ohio State goal from the 24-yard line. RECORD RUN

In the Orange Bowl, the Soon- ers got under way on Dave Baker’-s 94-yard touchdown run after a pass interception in the first quarter. That was the long- est run in the 24 years of the Orange Bowl. Thereafter the S-ooners converted -two Duke fum- bles, a blocked punt, a wild snap from centre and another pass. in- tUrcepti:on into touchdowns. , "Still, the Sooners led only 21-14 going into the final quarter after Duke moved 65 yards in the sec- ond quarter and 70 in the third for touchdowns. . ‘

In the final _qu-arter, however, the Sooners lost no time taking advantage of the breaks and rolled for four touchdowns. The one that covered the most ground

‘in a single play came when Ben-

nett Watts intercepted a pass on the Oklahoma 32. He r-aced tothe Duke 30. then lateralled to Dick Carpenter, who went the restof Carpenter, who ‘went the rest of the way. .

Duke went 85 yards for its final touchdown but it was in a lost cause. » ‘ BROWN SPARKS REBS

At New Orleans, Ray Brown, ‘a 190-pound senior scored. Missis- sippi’s first and fifth touchdowns and in between passed for the second and set _up the third with a pass interception.‘He picked up 157 y ds in 15 carries as he sparked the Rebels to their first Sugar Bowl victory after losing to Georgia Tech in'1953 and Navy in 1955.

The Rebels‘ fifth touchdown, strictly a Brown affair, was a cl-as-sic. With the ball on Missis- sippi’s eight, Brown stepped into the end zone as if to punt. Seeing a host of Texans rushing in on him, the quarterback took off

down-field with the ball. His run

Ramlolevrs Not Necessarily Best Team In League

I

With the defeat labt Saturday night of Summerside Aces, the _Amherst Ramblers now take over top spot in the Maritime Senior Hockey League for the first time since the circuit be- gan. Royals, who held the lead position continuously in league play thus far have now dropped into second position — two points behind the Amherst team.

The fact that Amherst have copped first place in the league does not necessarily mean they are the best team.—definitely not-—tliey have turned in some brilliant hockey and have won some of their games with noth- ing but sheer guts and deter- mination it is true, but it also should be remembered that the lowly Aces might just as easily be sitting up front were it not for the misfortunes so often in- curred in hockey, especially the one that befell them when their brilliant goalie Bobby Dillon was sidelined with a fractured jaw. Yes, the picture might have been much different——and with the reappearance of Di1lon—wi1l in all probability “be” much dif- ferent.

The Royals on the other hand have had their setbacks too: loosing the services for several games of Jack “Spy” Ready through injuries sustained in a rugged contest at Amherst, along with games suspension to Junior MacLeod and playing-coach Buck Whitlock have helped in no small way for the present changes in the league standings. ‘

It was rumoured at the begin- ning of the season that a fourth team, made up of players from Sackville, Mt. Allison and sur- rounding areas would be enter- taining after Christmas. Should this materialize it would make

for a better league and perhaps brighten up the attendance pic- ture at the games. So far it has been pretty discouraging for the boys but with the approach of the New Year and the joining up of a fourth team it is hoped that more interest will be shown by the local fans.

In the newly formed Intermed- late Hockey L e a g u e‘ Barryfs Parkdale Flyers and the Sum- merside Inter-Aces are tied for first place with two wins and two losses. Saint Dunstan’s Uni- versity team is expected to join up with the league the first of the year.

The Island Senior Basketball

the holiday season will resume play next week. Trotters are in top position with ten points with Second Saint Dunstan’s in sec- ond spot with 8.

The Grand Manan High School Basketball team left yesterday morning after playing several exhibition basketball games on the Island. The team played in Souris, Summerside and Char- lottetown. The boys were (mite pleased with their first visit to the Island and plan to return next year for a longer stay. The sport loving Summerside fans running true to form held a dance after the game and gave the boys $40.00 to help them along on their expenses.

Island sport fans will be pleased to hear that a former writer of this column has become the proud Daddy of a bouncing baby girl. The child was born to Mr. and Mrs. Gus Flynn in St. .E1izabeth’s Hospital, Brigh- ton, Mass., on December 27. Nice going Kid!

BOSTON (CP)—Montreal Cana- diens ran up a 10-point National Hockey League lead Wednesday night besting Boston Bruins 4-3 in la boisterous holiday game. .Cla-ude Provost’s third-period goal, his second of the game, was the decider as the Montrealers literally fought th-ei-r way to the front in an encounter where a bench-clearing donnybrook and 27 penalties almost obscured the major - league debut of Bruin goalie Al Millar.

There were seven major pen- alties and» a 10-minute misconduct to Boston’s Fleming Mackell. Montreal won at 14:05 of the

away tally. It followed an angled 10-footer by Henri Richard and pushed Canadiens’ lead to 4-2. Boston got one back at 15:29’ when Real Chevrefils scored from a scramble. Bruins threat- ened to tie the score in the final 30 seconds when Millar left in_ favor of a sixth forward. _ Bernie Geoffrion got Montreal's other goal and Leo La_bine and Bronco Horvath scored for Bus- ton. The first period ended tied 2-2 and the second-period was dorninated by the fighting.

Both -teams erupted in a flurry of bone-rattling checks and Bob Armstrong: and Andre Pronovost tangled on the boards and drew a major and minor each at 10:25. A scant 15 seconds later Fernie Flaman of the Bruins and Rich-. ard clashed. The ensuin-g brawl not only swept the benches but brought Armstrong and Prono- yost charging out of the penalty

The league-leading Amherst Ramblers held the power-parked Charlottetown Royals to a 4-all draw last night in a hard-fought hockey game. The tie perserved Amhersts two point lead over the Royals.

The Royals found themselves one goal down with only 45 sec- onds remaining in the game, and took out Frankie Roper in favor of an extra forward. Their move payed off when Spy Ready found the open corner of the Amherst net nine seconds later.

Ready’s goal brought an end to one of the hardest fought games seen at the Sports Arena this sea- son, ‘with both teams showing‘

strong defencive work.

Ron'Murphy got Chicago off to a lead with only 21 seconds gone in -the first period.

ROYALS LEAD

Angie Carroll, playing his sec- ond game with the Royals, put his team ahead at 6.43 of the first period when he found an open net behind Amherst goalie Tuffy Steeves. Willie Dunn put the Royals two goals up three minu- tes later on an unassisted effort. Dunn skated in all alone from the left side to poke the Duck P3531 Steeves. It seemed that time stood still for everybody but Dunn on the play. The two defence- men hardly moved to stop Willie and Steeves remained almost still in his net.

Gauthro, scored the first Am- herst goal to make the score read 2-1 in favor of the Royals and although both teams pressed during the final s'econds_.of the period, no score was registered as both Roper and Steeves were great in between the pipes.

TIE UP GAME _

Doug Pawley scored his first goal of the night early in the second period to bring his team up even with the Royals With help from hustling Lou Kiley and Gauthro. .

Both teams tried hard to break the tie all through the rest of the period, but fine defencive work by the Royals and great saves by Steeves kept the score dead- locked.

TRADE GOALS

The two teams traded goals in the third period with Pawley getting two more for Amherst

College Splits

and Kip and Jack Ready Sewing for the Royals.

Pawley put the Ramblers ahead for the first time in the game 9!! a shot that Roper missed but K_1P Ready got that one back one mm- ute later. When Pawley scpred again at 13.33 the Royals decided to pull Roper in a last ditch ef- fort to tie the score. Spy Ready did the trick seconds later to tie the score for good. Ready was in- jured on the next play and had to leave the game. It was learned after the game that he had suf- fered a cut over his nose.
