Rose Bowl
With 20-7 Win
EVANSTON, 111,, Nov. 20—(AP)
—Northwestern’s Rose Bowl ex
press, gathered steam behind a
great running attack made just a
whistle stop out of Illinois today.
The Wildcats of young Coach
Bob Voigts rolled to a 20-7 tri
umph over the Illini, their last
hurdle enroute to Pasadena and
the New Year’s Day classic.
Northwestern all but cinched
the trip, which must be formally
approved by the Big Nine Confer
ence. It closed the regular cam
paign with a 5-1 league record for
second place and a season mark of
T-2.
The Cats lost only to undefeat
ed Michigan, which repeated for
the Big Nine crown today by
downing Ohio State 13-3, and to
Michigan Inelegible
Michigan is ineligible to return
to the Rose Bowl under the Big
Nine-Pacific Coast pact after mak
season.
A chilled capacity crowd of
48/000 in Dyche Stadium cheered
Northwestern to its triumphal fin
ale over a traditional conference
foe pentup for an upset. The Wild
cats zipped 7’ yards in eight plays
for. a first quarter touchdown and
turned a pair of breaks into two
more counters in the second peri
od.
The Wildcats, who outrushed
Illinois 239 yards to 149, looked at
their best in the 711-yard first
quarter payoff surge. Frank As
chenbrenner, speedy halfback,
touched it off with a 17-yard
spring and capped it with a 23-
yard scoring scamper off tackle as
Eddie Nemeth threw a key block.

the title, and Southern Methodist

It was a tough ending for Bay
lor’s dream of throwing the cham
pionship race into a three-way tie.
The Bears’ fate was sealed com
pletely in the last 45 seconds of
play. That’s when Rote took off
on his second scoring sprint.
The Golden Bears played vaunt
ed Southern Methodist to a virtual
standstill in the first half and
moved into the lead with six min
utes and 26 seconds to play in the
third quarter. Ben Hall climaxed
a 28-yard drive when he plunged
over from the one. Henry Dicker

point.

BATON ROUGE, La.,
Nov. 20.— (AP) —Louis
iana State's Tigers, beaten
six times in eight starts,
completely outplayed the
Alabama Crimson Tide
here today for a 26-6 upset
victory before about 24,000
spectators, “sunil ¥
A pair of long first-period pass
es and a 77-yard ground drive
gave LSU three touchdowns, and
a pass interception set up the
fourth.
Alabama scored on a 67-yard
aerial attack after LSU had all
itkpoints.:
Furious LSU line play nullified
most Alabama offensive efforts.
Until the last period Tide touch
down, the only real Alabama
threat was a short march to the
LSU 17, but LSU pushed the visi
tors back and {ook over on the 23.
The passing of quarterback
Charlie Pevey and the running of
fullback Harrell “Rip” Collins
sparked the LSN attack.
With the game five and a half
minutes old, Pevey pitched from
the LSU 47 to big left end Mel
Lyle, who was wide on the Ala
bama 20 and trotted across.
Score On Pass
Five minutes later Pevey toss
ed from the Alabama 47 to half
back Bill Baggett who scampered
35 yards down the right sideline
for the next touchdown.
Late in the third period Collins,
known mostly as a punter, started
cutting through the tackles to
spark a march from the LSU 23
to the 'Bama one foot line. It took
LSN four plays to make those last
inches, sub fullback Bill Schroll
circling right end for the score.
Collins hit left tackle for six
yards and the last LSU touch
down, after sub halfback Ken
Nonz had run an intercepted pass
from midfield to the Alabama 13.
Alabama took the kickoff and
went 68 yards to its touchdown
on five passes. Halfback Gordon
Pettus tossed to end Bob Hood for
49 yards to start the march, and
left half Ed Salem pitched to right
half Clarence Avinger for the last
15.
Halfback Carroll Griffith made
two plcaements and missed two
for LSU extra points. Salem miss
ed his try for Alabama’s.
The Tigers led in rushing 214
yards to 53, and in first downs 14
to 12. Alabama completed 17 pass
es in 30 attempts for 171 yards,
and LSU made six out of nine
good for 141 yards.
Clemson Does
Quick Work
Of Duquesne
. CLEMSON, S. C., Nov. 20—(AP)
—lt took the undefeated Clemson
- Tigers almost a full quarter to get
‘ started today but after they got
their first touchdown they went
on a decisive 42-0 conquest of
Duquesne University from Pitts
burgh.
A Clemson homecoming crowd
of 17,500 saw the Tigers win their
eighth straight game of the sea
son. The victory boosted Clemson’s
bowl stock still further.
The Tigers, superior in all de
partments, scored in every quar
ter. Sophomore halfback Ray
Mathews of McKeesport, Pa., was
the big gun for the Tigers. He
scored two touchdowns himself
and hurled a long pass to End
Oscar Thompson for another, the
play covering a total of 74 yards.
Five-yard Reverse
Mathews took a reverse from
Bobby Gage and raced five yards
for the first touchdown a few min
utes before the first period ended.
He set up the score by intercept
ing a Dugquesne pass by Leonard
Kubiak and returning to the Duke
29.
Santa Given
Big Welcome
Here Friday
Santa Claus was welcomed in
grand style here Friday night as
he made his first visit of the 1948
Yuletide season, and more than
6,000 Athenians turned out to wel-~
come ihe old Saint and participate
in the festivities staged in his
honor.
The turning- on of the Christ
mas lights as Santa came down
Broad and Lumpkin highlighted
the ceremonies. Strung above ev
ery main street in downtown Ath
ens, the multi-colored lights pre
sented a beautufil sight as they all
blazed into brilliant life at once,
and reminded the many spectators
that Christmas is just around the
corner. 4
Santa Claus did not forget the
many children and grown-ups
who turned out to welcome him to
Athens and distributed thousands
of lollipops and ballons to the
kiddies. Music by the Athens High
School 80-piece band, Santa Claus’
official escort, added a gay touch
of musical color to the ocecasion
and provided a marching rhythm
for the parade downtown.
The kindly old Santa graciously
accepted the official welcome ex
tended him by Mayor Jack Wells
in behalf of the city and said that
he was glad to be able to make the
trip to Athens and was looking
forward to his visit here Christ
mas Eve.
Streets were cleared for danc
ing soon after that, and hundreds
of Athenians continued the cele
bration by participating in folk
and round dancing. L

Surprise Of The Y ear!
Penn State Upset
®
By Pitt Team, 7-0
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 20.—(AP)—Few will believe it
but Pitt beat proud Penn State 7-0 today.
It was one of the most stunning
upsets in a wild college football
year. It also was the personal tri
umph of a big Youngstown, 0.,
kid who shunned glittering offers
from gridiron big wheels to come
to deflated Pitt. $
Nick Bolkovac was sure he
could play football here. He did
today. He rambled 23 yards with
an intercepted pass and then place
kicked the extra point which sent
State spinning into a defeat for
the first time since 1946. It made
51,075 fans hoarse from yelling.
The game’s only score came in
the fourth quarter. Then the in
spired Panthers smashed back a
Penn State counter drive that car
ried to Pittsburgh’s two-yard line
as the gun ended the game.
That run, the last great act by
Bolkovac in a day of spelndid line
play, spelled finish to an unbeaten
string of 17 games for State—lß
games if you count the 13-13 Cot-~
ton Bowl deadlock with Southern
Methodist last New Years.

followed by the ear-soothing of
fering of “Until.”
Kay Starr, the petite vocalist
with ' the great big voice, makes
her initial visit to Bing’s show
singing “I’'m the Lonesomest Gal
in Town.”
The impeccable Mr. Menjou
brings news of apparel from the
well-dressed, well pressed set,
hoping to influence Bing’s choice
in clothes.

bridge Pa., Balkovac’s running
mate, deserved credit for an assist
on the touchdown play. He rushed
halfback Ellood Petchel’s attempts
to pass and his desperate leap de
flected the ball enough to make
po§sible Bolkovac’s loving seizure.
State often has been hexed by
the Pitt stadium aura. That last
deefat in 1946 was inflicted by Pitt
here. Other great State teams have
entered the grim concrete saucer
sure of victory and walked out de
feated.
Although first downs favored
State 15 to 4, the Pitt line was
marvelous when the chips were
down. A previously weak pass de
fense also functioned brilliantly
for the Panthers, resulting in four
interceptions.
State never threatened serious
ly in its own until the third period
when Rannie Rogel personally
carried the Lions from their own
17 to the Pitt 15 where the worn
ball carrier missed another first
down by inches. On this thrust,
Rogel carried the ball 13 out of 16
times.
tal, stated yesterday that this com
munity was “over the top” in their
contribution to the worthy cause.
A sum of $750 was raised by
citizens in Clarke County for the
Scottish Rite Hospital, with this
amount coming on ticke! purchas
es and contributions. In all, 291
tickets were sold.
“I appreciate the support given
this worthy cause,” said Mr. Mi
chael, “and especially do my
thanks go out to those who made
contributions.”
The $750 was the largest amount
ever appropriated by Athens for
the charity classic. And reports
have come in from all over the
state with similar results. There
fore, a near capacity crowd is ex
pected on hand next Thursday at
Tech’s Grant Field for the 16th!
renewal of the frgihman series. i
Experts are rating the two frosh
teams all even in the game. They
have met but one mutuai opponent
—Auburn—with the Bullpups los
ing by one point and the Baby
Jackets by two points. All expec-.
tations point to the best game in'
the history of the Thanksgiving
Day attractions.
