East Team Wins Pro Bowl Game Against West LOS ANGELES (INS) — The East eked out a Sl-to-30 victory over the West in the sixth annual Pro Bowl football game over the weekend, but there are a lot of people who claim that the West won, 32 to 31. Those who look upon the latter figures as the true score include the members of the West team, naturally, and perhaps most of the 37,837 men, women and children who saw the spectacular grid battle in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Here is the reason for the dispute: With the game within seconds of coming to *n end and with the East leading. 31 to 30, the Westerners called upon Bert Rechtchar of Baltimore to attempt a 46-yard field goal. The boot was short of the mark and East halfback Joe Scudero of the Washington Redskins caught the ball about two yards in front of the goal line. Then he carried the ball into the end zone and touched it down. Field judge Joe Gonzales called it a touchback and gave the ball to the East on the 29-yard line. One play later the game ended. But the West and their partisans contended that it a safety, not a touchback. and that the West won, 32 to 31. The hassle continued off the field and in the dressing rooms, but National Football league commissioner Bert Bell, who attended the game, declared that the East victory would stand regardless of argument. The two teams played the spirit-, ed game on even terms — four touchdowns and one field goal each —except for one thing. When the West tried for the extra point after its third touchdown, in the third period, Eastern halfback Jack Butler of the Pittsburgh Steelers charged through the line and . blocked Les Richter’s kick. It was the play that gave the underdog Easterners the game by a point Eddie Lebaron of the Washington ißedakins and Big Ollie Matson of the Chicago Cards sparked the Eastern win. Lebaron tossed two touchdown passes and Matson ran for two tallies. Lou (the Toe) Groza contributed a 50-yard field goal. - - * ■ — The West, favored to win, started the game by scoring on the opening kickoff. Jack Christiansen did Jt with a 103-yard sprint. The other West touchdowns were made by Billy Howton on a 78-yard pass play, Howie Ferguson and Ron Waller. “ Before that final-eeconds kick he missed, Retchichar booted a 46yard field goal in the third period.
