Busy Bowls

Twice in two years, Big Nine teams had invaded the Rose Bowl and made the Pacific Coast champions look like second-raters. Last week, a Big Nine team won again, but not until Northwestern Halfback Ed Tunnicliff broke loose for a 43-yard run in the last minutes of play. Final score: Northwestern 20, California 14. Some scores in other bowls (16 in all, which did a more than $2,000,000 business before some 600,000 fans):

Cotton. Southern Methodist, with help from Doak Walker and Kyle Rote, chopped heavier Oregon down to size, 21-13.

Orange. Underdog Texas--usually pass-conscious--outplayed Georgia, principally in the line, and marched overland to a 41-28 victory.

Sugar. Underdog Oklahoma capitalized on "Choo Choo" Charlie Justice's upset stomach and nipped unbeaten North Carolina, 14-6. The Sugar Bowl basketball title went to St. Louis University, which outplayed Kentucky, 42-40, in the season's only scheduled meeting between last year's two best college teams.
