SPORTS
BY BUTCH LUMMUS
Football season is reaching its finale with a few surprises and
for some great disappointments.
First off let’s start with the bowl games.
The first annual Peach Bowl started off as if it intends to
stick around for a while. A well balanced LSU Tiger team faced
the offense minded FSU Seminoles. The excitement started right
from the beginning as LSU fumbled the opening kick-off and the
Seminoles recovered. It took only one play for FSU to grab the
lead 7-0. With 40 seconds gone in the second quarter they increased
that lead to 13-0. LSU cut the gap to 13-10 by halftime. The lead
see-sawed from one team to another until the gun sounded giving
LSU a 31-27 mild upset victory.
Down in New Orleans the Sugar Bowl turned sour on Bulldog
fans as Arkansas downed them 16-2. The only bright spot was the
defense allowing the explosive Porker offense to score only one
TD. Before the game the only worry for Arkansas was; Could the
light defensive line contain the powerful Dog offense? The score
reflects the answer. You don’t fumble that much and have that
many interceptions and beat a team like Arkansas.
Ohio State left no doubt in anyone’s mind that they are truly
the Nation’s No. 1 team. The Buckeyes have a bright future con
cerning the national championship. The defensive unit will lose only
one starter. And the offense will retain most of its starters. Ohio
St. quarterback Rex Kern kept camermen on their toes with un
believable fakes. On frequent occasions the camera would show
a back (without the ball) go tearing up the middle of the line,
and the announcer would bark, “incomplete.”
O. J. Simpson had his usual fantastic day, scoring once on an
80 yard run. Southern Cal just couldn’t go on “Orange Juice” alone,
as Ohio St. wound up on top 27-16.
Penn State defeated Kansas in the Orange Bowl by a score
of 15-14 on a spectacular pass play in the last minute of the game.
At that point when they scored their last TD they trailed 14-13.
They elected to go for wo points and failed on their first attempt.
The referee discovered that Kansas had 12 men on the field, and
gave Penn State another change. This time it was good. This had to
be one of the most disappointing games to some but to others a
miraculous comeback victory.
PERSONAL
Lt. and Mrs. Charles D. Long
and children of Norfolk, Va. visi
ted their parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Mangham and other rel

They also visited their son and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Steven
