Trojans Defeat Wisconsin Lone Touchdown Gives USC Victory in Third Quarter By BOB MYERS PASADENA, Jan. 1 (UP)—Traveling 78 yards on a victory parade led by Rudy Bukich, second string halfback, the Trojans of Southern California defeated Wisconsin, 7-0 today and finally, in the seventh year, ended the succession of Big Ten triumphs over the Coast Conference in the famed Rose Bowl. The magnificent march came midway in the third period and sank the Badger hopes of making it seven in a row for the Big Ten in this, their first appearance in the huge bowl. Bukich, a rangy senior from St. Louis, sent the Trojans sailing by air 65 of those 73 yards in a near perfect demonstration of passing accuracy—five out of six throws. The touchdown, plus the conversion, was hardly safe from then on, and not a soul of the estimated 100,000 fans in the arena left the place. Nor, it is safe to say, did many of the millions of television watchers around the nation leave their seats. Twice in the fading moments the gallant Badgers drove deep into Trojan territory. Big Alan The Horse Ameche hammered through the SC line for a total of 133 yards and Jim Haluska, quarterback, kept the Trojans in a flurry with his throwing. But it was not to be. The fourth quarter jinx in the series, which saw California twice lose in the closing moments, and Stanford collapse entirely, did not prevail today. Both teams encountered hard luck in the early minutes. USC lost its star left halfback, Jim 28 times lugging the ball and was the leading ground galner. But time and again the stout Trojans, possessing vastly more reserve strength, stopped the Badgers in scoring range—once on the seven, again on the 14, twice more inside the 30, and with the excitement mounting in the fading moments, on the 20. These were the times the heroic but outmanned Wisconsin were balked. On the deepest thrust, to the seven, they faked a field goal and Witt ran to the Trojan two-short into Trojan territory. Big Alan The Horse Ameche hammered through the SC line for a total of 133 yards and Jim Haluska, quarterback, kept the Trojans in a flurry with his throwing. But it was not to be. The fourth quarter jinx in the series, which saw California twice lose in the closing moments, and Stanford collapse entirely, did not prevail today. Both teams encountered hard luck in the early minutes. USC lost its star left halfback, Jim Sears, after 3 minutes and 33 seconds with a broken leg bone. Later Wisconsin lost its No. 1 left halfback, Bill Hutchinson, who did not return until the closing minutes. The Trojan touchdown was launched after the most dramatic run of the day. It was the first play from scrimmage after the kickoff opening the second half. Big Ameche, the leading ground gainer in the Big Ten this season, rolled off the left side and kept rolling for 54 yards before he was hauled down on the USC 33 by the two Trojan linebackers, Marvin Goux and George Timberlake. The Badgers were on the go, but so was SC's defensive platoon. Roy Burks, Badger halfback, fumbled when hit by Bob Van Dorean, tackle. End Bob Hooks recovered the ball on the SC 27. Bukich, understudying Sears, went into high gear. He fired a pass to Ron Miller left end, for 14 and two more for nine apiece. He found Tom Nickoloff, the right end, for 11, and in eight plays USC was on the Badger 22. The next strike was the payoff—to Al Carmichael, right halfback, who was standing wide open in the end zone. Carmichael could hardly have dropped the ball. Sam Tsagalakis added the extra point and thus ended the scoring and with it the end of the Big Ten domination. Wisconsin's T-formation attack went well on the ground despite the vaunted SC defensive platoon — 211 yards to a mere 48 rushing by SC—but the Badgers couldn't stop Bukich and his record of 12 completions out of 20 throws for 137 of the 185 yards SC collected in the air. Ameche netted his 133 yards in Bowl Games Draw Over 400,000 Fans NEW YORK, Jan. 1 (AP)—Eight football bowl games throughout the nation today attracted over 400,000 fans.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Georgia Tech Rips Mississippi 24-7 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1 (AP)—Fabulous clutch running by Georgia Tech's squat Leon Hardeman and lanky Bill Teas, plus great line stands, crumbled Mississippi and earned the unbeaten Engineers a 24-7 Sugar Bowl football victory today. Georgia Tech's golden-clad Engineers spotted the Mississippi a first-period touchdown and then broke the Rebels' offense with two mighty goal-line stands. Then with the unbeaten, but twice-tied Rebel offense halted, Tech went to work and punched over three touchdowns and a field goal in the next three periods, completely out-maneuvering the Mississippiians. Hardeman, a 5-foot, 6-inch 172-pound halfback, was voted the game's most valuable player after he scored Tech's second touchdown on a 6-yard right-tackle sweep. He kept the Mississippi defense off balance throughout the game. And when the Mississippiians were watching for Hardeman, Tech switched and sent Teas, a string-bean halfback with toothpick legs, rushing through the line. After Tech's great line stopped Mississippi twice in the first half, the Rebels were able to mount only one serious offense. Mississippi drove to Tech's 5 in the game's closing second, but Tech linebacker George Morris ended the drive by intercepting a pass tossed by Rebel Quarterback Jimmy Lear. In the final analysis it was Tech's ever-surging line, rated the sissippi, a seven-point underdog might overcome Tech and win in a rout. But Tech's faltering forward wall dug in and, gaining confidence by the seconds, held Mississippi on the 2 on a fourth-down plunge by Dillard. Lear gave Tech their first scoring chance late in the second period when he fumbled on a pitch-out attempt. Tech's defensive end, Cecil Trainer, fell on the ball on Mississippi's 48. With Teas and Hardeman alternating on line bucks, Tech moved the ball to the 1. From there, Quarterback Bill Brigman piled into the end zone and Pepper Rodgers tied the game at 7-7 with his conversion. Mississippi immediately opened a tremndous drive that went 78 yards before Tech's line held on the 8-inch lin. missed most of two seasons with injuries, sparked the Tulsa game which began late in the third period. He and Howie Waugh, the Nation's leading ground gainer, each scored a touchdown on three 40-yard plunges to climax and 46-yard marches started by Marla fumbles. Miner, who had kicked 41 of conversion attempts during the regular season, made his first try missed after the second Tulsa touchdown today. He failed again an attempted field goal from Florida five-yard line two minutes from the end of the game. Florida had scored in the first half on 78 and 80-yard drives. Sares bulled over from the one at the first score. Hall took a 37-40 pass from Fred Robinson for the second. Hall, the game's top runner with yards in 17 carries, was the most valuable player to Florida. Portswriters voted him the honourably. Marv Maluszak, Tulsa's All-American guard, played a great game on both offense and defense, named most valuable on his team. He got the honor in a close tie over Ronnie Morris, a Lakewood (Fla.) high school product who triggers the Tulsa split T attack from quarterback. Morris completed 10 of 16 passes for 132 yards. His most importantrows were 16 yards to Willie Roberts in the second touchdown live and 25 yards to Miner in the great that fizzled on the five. After Tech's great line stopped Mississippi twice in the first half, the Rebels were able to mount only one serious offense. Mississippi drove to Tech's 5 in the game's closing second, but Tech linebacker George Morris ended the drive by intercepting a pass tossed by Rebel Quarterback Jimmy Lear. In the final analysis it was Tech's ever-surging line, rated the nation's second best on defense, that broke Mississippi's first-quarter momentum and turned the tide of victory to Tech. Mississippi started like a house afire by driving 57 yards in eight plays after the opening—kickoff for its only touchdown. The Ole Miss score came on a line buck from eight inches out by Halfback Wilson Dillard. Lear converted, pushing Mississippi into a 7-0 lead. The Mississippi fans among the 82,000 persons who jammed the Sugar Bowl yelled in hopes of another great upset such as the Rebels pulled in beating Maryland during the regular season. In the next few moments the Mississippians almost went wild when Teas fumbled for Georgia Tech and Rebel Linebacker Jim Ingram recovered on Tech's 19. Lear maneuvered the Rebels to Tech's 2-yard line on five plays, pitching out to his backfield mates from the Ole Miss split-T offense. It looked at this point like Mismatch when he fumbled on a pitch-out attempt. Tech's defensive end, Cecil Trainer, fell on the ball on Mississippi's 48. With Teas and Hardeman alternating on line bucks, Tech moved the ball to the 1. From there, Quarterback Bill Brigman piled into the end zone and Pepper Rodgers tied the game at 7-7 with his conversion. Mississippi immediately opened a tremendous drive that went 78 yards before Tech's line held on the 8-inch lin. With Lear sneaking, and Wilson Dillard and Harold Lofton plunging, Mississippi's offense looked terrific during the drive. On fourth down, and with 82,000 persons standing on their tip toes, Tech's All-America Halfback Bobby Moorhead and Safety Man Jakle Rudolph rushed into the gap to stop Dillard. The ball was so close to the goal line that the officials had to take time out and debate for a moment or two before reaching a final decision. It was against Mississippi and from that point on, Mississippi's offense lacked its early zip. This dramatic stand by Tech's line seemed to overcome the Rebels. Late in the second period, Tech opened a drive that carried the Engineers to Mississippi's 5-yard line. A third-down pass by Hardeman went incomplete and on fourth down Tech elected to try a field-goal. JANUARY 1, 1953 10th of January—EARN FROM JAN. 1ST OFFICERS WM. T. WALLOP PRESIDENT DR. W. L.
