North Defeats South In
Senior Bowl Game 28-13
MOBILE, Ala., Jan. 3 —UP—
Harry A g g a n I s, a left-handed
(Unger from Boston University,
and Michigan State's Don Mc-
Aullffe led a sharp Northern team
to a 28 to 13 victory over the South
Saturday in the fourth annual Sen-
ior Bowl.
Getting $500 apiece for their ef-
forts, the Yankees—made up of
graduating seniors like the South-
ern squad in a preview of their
pro careers—squared the series at
two victories each. The losers
drew $400 each.
A sparse crowd of 18,000 watch-
ed the game in chilly weather. The
Yanks wrapped it up in the first
half by scoring 14 points on a
safety and touchdowns on an Ag-
ganis pass and a plunge by Fred
Bruncy of Ohio State after a fum-
ble recovery.
The margin soared to 21 to 0
after another bobble which Roger
French of Minnesota grabbed on
the Dixie 48. Agganis capped the
drive with a southpaw scoring
pass to Gene Gedman of Indiana
for 14 yards.
Aggie Ace Leads South
Ray Graves, ace of Texas A&M,
accounted for both the South's
touchdowns in the second half. He
led a 50-yard march, passing to
Vanderbilt’s Ben Roderick and
Lloyd Coulteryahn of Maryland to
take the ball to the two, from
where Joe Fortunato of Mississip-
pi State scored.
McAuliffe’s powerful running
gave the North its final score as
he dashed across from the 10.
Graves then passed the South to
the Yankee 11 and, fading back,
decided to run with it and went
around right end for the game’s
last score.
Marty Beekley. the Ohio State
defensive ace, put the South in the
hole right at the start when he
tackled Maryland’s celebrated
quarterback, Jack Scarbath. for a
safety after one and a half minutes.
Rebel Bobbles Costly
Stewart Sheetz of Penn State had
recovered a fumble ton the South's
nine-yard line after the opening
kickoff to give the Yankees an early
break, but they couldn't score from
that point until the ball changed
hands.
Frank Wodziak of Illinois re-
covered another fumble on the
South's 21 and Agganis passed to
Gedman on the six. McAuliffe
plunged to the three and Bruney
plunged over for a touchdown.
The Northerners counted again
before the half after a poor punt
put the Southerners on the defense
on their own 36. Agganis passed
to Purdue's Bernie Flowers for

eight yards, McAuliffe ran 10 and
the left-handed Agganis passed to
Ernie Stockert of UCLA for the
touchdown. For the second time, a
poor pass prevented Agganis from
even trying to kick the extra point.

Board To Pass On
Case Of Diplomat
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3—UP-
President Truman Saturday night
directed Secretary of State Dean
Acheson to let a special five-mem-
ber board determine the status of
suspended diplomat John Carter
Vincent who has been accused as a
loyalty risk.
Acheson himself had proposed
fiich a board in a long memoran-

Vincent, a career diplomat, was
suspended by the State Department
last Dec. 15 after the President’s
loyalty review board branded him
a loyalty risk.

Department left up to Acheson and
President Truman the final deci-
sion on Vincent's future.
