Little Rose Bowl Game Hartnell Stages 94-Yard Drive for Fairy Tale Finish with Bacone JC PASADENA, Dec. 13 — Staging a 94-yard drive in the waning moments, climaxed by a 15-yard touchdown pass that came after the final gun, Hartnell Junior College of California pulled one of those fairy-tale finishes to earn a 20-20 tie with Bacone of Oklahoma in the seventh edition of the Junior Rose Bowl football series today. The deadlock left these intersectional rivals still unbeaten this season and left 35,892 spectators in a state of limp exhaustion as the battle went down to the final tick of the clock. Steelers This Week’s ‘Crisis’ For L.A. Rams LOS ANGELES. (AP) — Just like in the old movie serials, it’s a crisis every week for the Los Angeles Rams. This week, the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Rams started the league season by dropping their first two games. Hence, once they started to roll, it’s been a must to win to get into the championship race. They’ve won the last 11 straight and eight of the last nine. That’s brought them up to a tie with Detroit, while San Francisco and Green Bay fell by the wayside. With Detroit meeting the orphan Dallas club and considered a cinch to win, the Rams know they must do it again today against the Steelers. A crowd of 50,000 or more is expected to watch them try, under sunny skies, in Memorial coliseum. The Rams’ job is sure to be a tough one. The Steelers have been losing close ones all year — five games by a total of 17 points — but in their last two starts snowed under the powerful New York Hartnell’s try for the extra and winning point was blocked just as its line had blocked Bacone’s try after the Warriors’ first touchdown. The Hartnell’s Panthers, from Salinas, trailing 20-14, stopped a Bacone scoring threat on the four-inch mark with only minutes to go. After an exchange of punts, they began the long haul upfield from their own six. The tying touchdown came on a pass from quarterback Arlin Dillard to his halfback, Tony Terraca—a sensational leaping pass in the end zone as Bacone defenders tried futilely to knock it down. Just a moment before it seemed Hartnell was destined for its first defeat in 11 games this year and that Bacone had sewed up its tenth straight this year and its 18th consecutive triumph. On the Bacone 34, David Drew intercepted a Dillard pass and was downed as the gun sounded. The Warrior bench staged a premature war dance. But an interference penalty was called on the lads from Muskogee on their 15. There was time for just one more play. It worked. The crowd still was cheering excitedly on the conversion try. It was blocked. Then a holding penalty was signaled, but this time it was on Hartnell. The game was over. The contest marked another With Detroit meeting the orphan Dallas club and considered a cinch to win, the Rams know they must do it again today against the Steelers. A crowd of 50,000 or more is expected to watch them try, under sunny skies, in Memorial coliseum. The Rams' job is sure to be a tough one. The Steelers have been losing close ones all year — five games by a total of 17 points but in their last two starts snowed under the powerful New York Giants, 63-7, and upset the San Francisco 49ers, 24-7. There’s a chance of a much bigger than normal crowd if everyone who thinks highly of Bob Waterfield turns out. Waterfield, the Rams’ veteran field marshal, says this is his last pro start. The Rams, naturally, have made it Bob Waterfield day. "Waterbuckets" may be expected to contribute heavily to the Rams’ attack, along with Norman Van Brocklin. They’ll both need to be good to match Pittsburgh quarterback Jimmy Finks, whose 19 touchdown passes this year top the league. Two tough defensive platoons are masterminded by a pair of ex-teammates at UCLA five years ago—Don Paul for the Rams and Jerry Shipkey for the Steelers. College of Pacific Crushed 87-30 by California Bears BEREKELY, Dec. 13 (AP)—California's fast-breaking Bears, hitting 40 per cent of their shots from the floor, drubbed little College of Pacific 87-30 tonight in a non-conference basketball game. The Bears, paced by tall Bob McKeen and Dick Tamberg, sprinted to an 11-1 lead early in the opening quarter and built it up to 47-16 at the half. COP, which sank only nine field goals the entire game, was topped in the scoring column by Gene Sosnick, who hit for eight points. McKeen and Tamberg tanked 19 apiece. California Coach Nips Price pulled his first stringers in the third quarter and substituted freely the remaining time. Still, the Tigers could only score four points in the fourth period. San Diego Aztecs Defeat Redlands SAN DIEGO, Dec. 13. (AP)—San Diego State college's Aztecs, using superior height and good ball handling, scored a 70-61 basketball victory over Redlands university here tonight. Registering their third victory against a single defeat this season, the Aztecs built a lead right after downed as the gun sounded. The Warrior bench staged a premature war dance.

It was blocked. Then a holding penalty was signaled, but this time it was on Hartnell. The game was over. The contest marked another chapter in this colorful, and generally wild, series between outstanding junior colleges. Dillard's tieing toss was his second scoring strike to Teresa of the sunny afternoon in the Rose bowl. His second quarter throw to Tony put the Panthers in front by a 14-13 margin, and they held on to until the Braves traveled 59 yards and scored early in the fourth period on a 33-yard pass from Amos Maldonado to halfback Don Johnson in the end zone. Hartnell scored first after recovering a fumble on the Bacone 29. Dillard went over from the one. Bacone got six points when Ron Johnson, Don's twin brother, went for eight yards on a lateral from Maldonado. Bacone went in front on a 10-yard pass from Maldonda to end Babe Chandler, after the Indians had recovered a Hartnell fumble on the Panther 26. Bacone made it 20 to 14 on a determined 59-yard drive, with Maldonado hurling a 33 - yard, fourth down strike to Don Johnson. Then came Hartnell's tying play. Teresa passed to Jim Grain for 33, again for 13. Dillard ran for 11 and passed to Bob Scofield for 11 in the belated rush that carried them to the 15 and set the stage for the final completion.

(UP)—Sharpshooting Bill Minahan passed Tampa to a 21-12 victory over Lenoir Rhynne in the Cigar bowl football game tonight. Minahan's tosses accounted for two Tampa touchdowns and set up another.

By BOB MYERS PASADENA, Dec. 13. (UP)—In the matter of the Pacific coast conference's chances of finally pinning a loss on the Big Ten in the Rose bowl New Year's day this is to advise that the bright optimism of mid-November has been replaced by grave apprehension in December. A month go the coast people just about had decided that this was to be the time their team would end this Big Ten domination in the rose rimmed saucer. They figured it didn't matter who played whom—Southern California or UCLA against Wisconsin, Purdue, Michigan State or any other mid-west team. Well, it will be USC and Wisconsin as you know, but folks are not so sure about the prospects—not sure at all. They have learned, for instance, that Wisconsin is a legitimate Big Ten team, and co-champion. That should be enough to convince the natives out here after what has happened the past six New Year's days. The record is 6-0 for the Big Ten. Sure, UCLA whipped the Badgers in October, 20-7, and the Trojans of USC edged out UCLA, 14-12. Perhaps the doubts began to set in on the day of Nov. 22 when the Trojans and UCLA met. They certainly deepened that cold day at South Bend on Nov. 29 when then unbeaten Trojans bowed to Notre Dame, 9-0. The basic reason for the lessening optimism is this: despite the record of nine straight victories, the Trojans have been far from impressive in presenting a consistent, successful offense. Wisconsin, it is said, has a good offense, starring such boys as Harland Carl, Alan Ameche and Jim Haluska. The Badger defense, they say, is adequate, and as one critic expressed it, certainly adequate to contain the Southern Cal offense. During the regular season, the Big Ten played cousin to the coast. USC hammered Northwestern, Stanford beat Michigan, Washington and California took turns mauling Minnesota, and UCLA Shoemaker Boots Simonsez Home To Win Handicap SAN BRUNO, Calif., Dec. 13. (UP)—Simonsez setting most of the pace, won the $25,000 added Tanforan handicap today highlighting the closing day program at the historic track. The time for the mile and one eighth was 1:53 2/5. Hard Toab; a longshot, ran second with high weighted Trusting third. Conversion raced fourth. Willie Shoemaker, leading rider of the meeting, was aboard the winner. He got the 4-year-old son of Thumbs Up away nicely and picked up the pace-setting Hard Toab on the first turn. Simonsez paid $9.40, $6.60 and $5.00. Hard Toab returned $8.60 and 5.30. Trusting paid $3.90. Simonsez won by two and one-half lengths, he carried 110 pounds, and the heavy track was to his liking. He is owned by Charles E. Moore of San Francisco. Hard Toab, ridden by Vernon Smith and weighted at 111, hung on gamely for the second spot and made a move in the late stretch but could not pick up the winner. Trusting lugged 119 pounds with Ray York in the saddle. He went off as second choice and moved up from fairly far back to take the third place money. Conversion broke in second place but fell back and could not gain on the leaders although he picked up a number of the trailers on the backstretch. The favored entry of Stranglehold, 3-year-old champion of the meeting, and Stormy cloud failed to threaten. The victory was worth $16.950 to owner Moore. A crowd of 16--567 turned out for the final day of the meeting. Entered in Torrey Road Race DIEGO, Dec. 13.

Los Angeles St., Anaheim—Phone 4012 "A G Gazette SPORTS Tough Tennessee Football Team Leads Nation’s Major Colleges in Defense NEW YORK, Dec. 13 (UP)—Tennessee lived up to its tough, stubborn football reputation this year and the nation's major colleges in defense. Southe rn teams dominated in stinginess when it came to fielding yardage. Final figures released today by the NCAA Service Bureau show that Gen. Bobeyland's Volunteers allowed 166.7 yards a game to 173.2 by undefeated Georgia Tech, 177.5 by South Carolina and 196.3 by Virginia. No other teams held their opponents to less than 200 yards behind a game. In ground defense, unbeaten Michigan State took top honors with 83.9 yards a game permitted, lead of Navy's 73.7, UCLA's 94.1, Princeton's 96.1 and Wake Forest's 77. In this category, there were Eastern teams among the top. And in pass defense, Virginia linked first, giving up only 50.3 yards a game and allowing only 1.1 per cent of the enemy's pass to be completed, with Duke second at 51.6. Tennessee third at 51.6. Tennessee fourth at 51.5 and Georgia Tech fifth at 66.4. The Southernners provided seven of the 10 leaders here. And Georgia Tech was the only team in the country unscored on through the r. Toughest to score on by any method were Southern California, Georgia Tech and New Mexico. The Trojans gave up 47 points in 10 games for a 4.70 average, Georgia Tech 52 in if lor 4.72, New Mexico, playing nine, allowed the smallest total, 46, for a 5.1 average, and no other team could hold its opposition to less than the equivalent of a touchdown a game. It was quite an achievement for Dud Groot's New Mexico, which yielded 262 points in 1951 and 335 in 1950. Generally speaking, this year's defenses were more liberal than in the past. Tennessee's figure of 166.7 yards given up is the highest on record by a champion, Wisconsin, last year's winner, had 154.8. In rushing, Michigan State's 83.9 set a similar record, exceeding the 74.9 with which Georgia Tech won the 1948 title and more than 30 yards a game above San Francisco's winning 51.6 last year. In pass defense however, Virginia's 50.3 was the best since North Carolina State's 37.7 of 1947. Most effective on a per-play basis was USC, yielding 2.76 yards a try to Georgia Tech's 2.87 and Tennessee's 2.88. On the ground, Navy was toughest, giving up two yards a crack to Michigan State's 2.21, Holy Cross's 2.31 and Princeton's 2.32. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 13 (UP)—The Trojans of the University of Southern California made it two in a row over Utah tonight as forward Ed Simpson led them to an 83-67 win.
