WACO. Dec. 22 (UP) Hard-charging fullback Cecil
Rusty Gunn proved too big a caliber for La Vega here Satur-
day as he led the underdog Arlington Colts to a surprising
7-0 win over the Pirates for the Texas Class AA schoolboy
football championship.
The 190-pound Gunn, all-district
palyer for throe years, pci onallj
gained 80 of his team’s 181 yards
rushing and scored the lone touch-
down with a three-yard plunge in
the second quarter.
He also kicked the extra point in
the face of a stiff, 20-mile wind
that virtually voided all attempts
at an aerial game.
La Vega, which had been picked
to take the Colts by a comfortable
margin, got its offensive machine
started only twice but both time;
the motor died, once in the shadow
of the goal posts.
The first time it got the ball in
the first quarter, La Vega march-
ed to the Colt nine but penalties
and limited gains left them with
12 yards to go on fourth down.
Quarterback Glen Schutzn at-
tempted a pass but it was incom-
plete.
Early in the third quarter the
Pirates marched to the Colt 33 but
on a first down schutza’s pass
was deflected by a horde of Colt
linemen and right end Fred Cook
scooped it out of the air for an in-
terception to end the drive.
Even on defense Gunn was the
The black shirted Giddings Buffaloes uncorked an ex-

gasping and gave the little school of 161 students a thrilling
25-14 victory and the State Class A football title.

return by Mutsching. Placke scor-

run from the Newcastle one. Car-

Newcastle fought back in the
second period with a 66-yard
touchdown drive with Charley
Blanton and Stringer running the
Giddings line ragged. Stringer
made it from the one-foot line.
But Giddings got another touch-
down shortly afterward on the
passing of Placke. It was on a 78-
yard surge with the pay-off being
a screen pass from Placke to Nam-

Newcastle got its last touchdown
just before the half ended on a

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec 22
<U.R'—Unbeaten Indiana rallied in
the final five minutes against fav-
ored Kansas State and then crush-
ed the defending Big Seven bas-
ketball champions, 80-75, Saturday
night in overtime.
The biggest favorite among the
major bowlers was Tennessee in
its Sugar Bowl brittle against
in New Orleans. The
Volunteers, who are rated the
nation's champions were a seven-
point choice in this clash between
the two undefeated and untied
powerhouses.
Among the other games, two
were rated strictly "toss-up" af-
fairs by the odds-pushers. These
were the Cotton Bowl game be-
tween Kentucky 7-4 and Texas
Christian 6-4 at Dallas, and the
Orange Bowl game between Geor-
gia Tech 10-0-1 and Baylor 8-1-1
at Miami, Fla.
Illinois 8-0-1 was made a six-
point pick to beat Stanford and
maintain the Big Ten's supremacy
over the Pacific Coast Conference
in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena,
Cal., for the sixth straight year.
Miami 7-3 was favored by three
points over Clcmson 7-2 in the
'Gator bowl game at Jacksonville,
Fla. .
Of the 10 teams involved, Stan-
ford has had the most bowl exper-
ience and Baylor the le.i>t. The In-
dians, who helped inaugurate the
Rose Bowl in 1902 when they wen-
beaten by Michigan 49-0, have
won two, lost four and tied one
