Colts Defeat Giants, 2nd Title In Row BALTIMORE, Md. (UPI) Johnny Unitas will get better. But the big story is that you can get the blond Baltimore Colt I quarterback down but you can’t ' keep him there. , That was the story of Baltimore’s second straight triumph 1 over the New York Giants in the • National Football League chamI pionship game, 31-16 And Sunday’s story may tell the tele of I the league for years to come because Unites is only 26 and coach Weeb Ewbank of the Colts says he will get better. But New York’s defensive platoon, one of the finest developed in recent years, has put Unites to the supreme test in two consecutive games and it is composed of equal parts of talent, skill and heart. This defensive unit — and 57,647 Memorial Stadium fans plus millions of TV viewers will certify the action — repeatedly hammered Unitas into the scarred sod. This defensive display by such huskies as Andy Robustelli, Sam Huff, Cliff Livingston and Dick Modzelewski enabled the Giants to nibble away until they took a 9-7 lead into the final period. Baltimore fans watched in awe while their hero was buried under heaps of white-shirted Giants for losses totaling 57 yards. Unites Cgfoe Back But Unites, who was turned down by major colleges because he was too sman and released by the Pittsburgh Steelers, bounced back just as he always has in the past. His passes gave the Colts a 23-17 victory over the Giants in last year’s unprecedented overtime game for the title and they finally cracked Sunday’s bitter defensive struggle wide open. Starting on his 15 late in the third period. Unites drove the Colts 75 yards in 10 plays for the touchdown that started a 24-point Baltimore blitz. Unites fooled he New York defense when he swung around right end to score it, but the plays that set it up were his key tosses to Raymond Berry and Lenny Moore. The Giants had been successful in keeping Unites from completing vital third down passes when the Colts needed eight or 15 yards to keep rolling. But as the final period began. Unites hit Berry for a 17-yard gain on a third-and-eight situation. Then Moore, who had teamed with Unites to produce a touchdown on a 60-yard perfect play in the opening minutes, took a pass from Unites on the New York 40, broke loose from Rosey Grier and ran to the New York 13. Cracked Defense Open Moore then leveled Livingston with a vital block while Unitas raced to put the Colts back in front at ♦14-9. Thus after 47 minutes and 42 seconds Unites cracked open the defensive classic that might possibly have ended in at least a near re-run of last year’s “sudden death” overtime tide clash. During those 48 minutes, there were no interceptions despite the constant hammering Unitas and quarterback Charlie Conerly of the Giants took from the rival defenses. j «... The Giants, who whipped the Cleveland Browns twice en route to the Eastern Division title, collapsed as dusk fell over the floodlighted stadium- Baltimore fans, who behaved admirably although they have been called the most partisan in the league, went wild while the Colts poured three touchdowns and a field goal into the statistics in the las 13 minutes.

Half Million Fans To Watch Bowl Battles By FRED DOWN By United Press International An estimated 500,000 fans and the nation's TV-quarterbacks will see college football ring in the new year this week with one of the most attractive bowl programs in history. Syracuse’s meeting with Texas in the Cotton Bowl and Louisiana State’s rematch with Mississippi in the Sugar Bowl top a menu of nine games between Thursday and Saturday. Syracuse, the only major team to go through the season unbeaten and untied, is defending its national championship against a once-beaten opponent. LSU and Mississippi will replay the South’s “game of the year” and the winner undoubtedly will claim the national title if Texas upsets Syracuse. Syracuse is a 12-point choice and Mississippi a 6Ms point pick with Wisconsin a 6(4 point choice over Washington in the Rose Bowl and Georgia an 11 point Orange Bowl favorite over Missouri in the “Big Four” of the Jan. 1 uleAction Begins Wednesday The action begins on Wednesday when North Texas State (8-1) plays New Mexico State (7-3) in the Sun Bowl at el Paso. Tex., and winds up Saturday with the East-West shrink game at San Francisco and the Gator Bowl meeting between Arkansas (8-2) and Georgia Tech (6-4) at Jacksonville, Fla. Syracuse is heavily favored on the strength of 10 straight victories during which it averaged 39 points 6 game and led the nation in virtually everything except untied shoelaces. LSU beat Mississippi, 7-3, on an 89-yard punt return by Billy Cannon in the fourth period of their Oct. 31 regular-season game. But Mississippi seemed the stronger team at the close of the season and was ranked second in the nation while LSU was rated third. The biggest crowd of the week — 100,000 — will see Wisconsin (7-2) oppose Washington (9-1) in the Rose Bowl at’ Pasadena, Calif., and 78,000 will be on hand in the Orange Bowl at Miami, Fla. to watch Georgia (94) take on Missouri (6-4). - ? May See Due! The Wisconsin and Washington match may be a passing duel between quarterbacks Dale Hackbart and Bob Schloredt. Wisconsin lost the 1953 Rose Bowl game — only Big Ten team to lose to the West Coast representative since the beginning of the closed pact. Georgia rolled to the Southeast Conference title with a 7-0 record while the experts were watching LSU and Mississippi. Missouri drew the Big Eight’s Orange Bowl bid because Oklahoma was ineligible to go for a second straight year. Presbyterian (9-1) vs. Middle Tennessee State (9-0-1) in the Tangerine Bowl at Orlando, Fla., and Prairie View A & M (8-2) vs. Wiley (Tex ), also 8-2, round out the Jan. 1 card. The North beat the South, 27-17, at Miami, Fla., the Blue upset the Gray, 20-8, and the National All-Stars downed the Southwest All-Stars, 21-6, in Saturday’s exhibition all-star games.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Holiday Tourneys Top Indiana Card INDIANAPOLIS (UPl(—Holiday tourneys involving Indiana and Evansville highlight this week’s state college basketball program. Indiana, unofficial champion in last week’s Hoosier Classic, was favored in the Blue Grass Festival , at Louisvile tonight and Tuesday. I The once-beaten Hoosiers faced ( Maryland in the first round. ■ Evansville meets Wittenberg to--1 night in the title clash of the Pocket City four-team tourney. 1 The Aces, beaten only by lowa in ! their opener, turned back Fresno [ State Saturday night, 85-77. Butler shoots for its fourth victory over a Big Ten club at the i expense of Michigan State here to- ; night. Purdue, twice a loser in the Hoosier Classic, gets its final pre- ■ Big Ten test at home Tuesday I against Montana State. The Big Ten schedule opens Sat- > urday with Purdue at Indiana. The first Indianapolis Classic 1 will be staged at Franklin Friday ; and Saturday. It was transferred because Indiana Central’s new gymnasium is not completed. The week’s schedule: r Tonight—lndiana in Blue Grass Festival, Michigan State at Butler, Taylor at Howard Payne, TriState and Indiana Tech in tourney at Rochester-, JftY, Valparaiso in Motor City tourney at Detroit, Evansville tourney wind-up.

U. 8. Pat Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) — The final edition of Fraley’s Follies and the bowl game “Winners” — or how to get rid of those few pennies left over after Christmas. Giving it to you quickly: Rose Bowl — Washington over Wisconsin. Sugar Bowl — Mississippi over LSU Cotton Bowl — Syracuse over Texas. Orange Bowl — Gerogia over Missouri. Gator Bowl — Georgia Tech over Arkansas. Sun Bowl — North Texas State over New Mexico State. ROSE BOWL Wisconsin (7-2) would seem to have an edge in weight and ex- , perience. It is a steady 614 point favorite and has been bolstered by the return to form of quarterback Dale Hackbart. But Washington (9-1) has a powerful defense and can show a signal calling ace of its own in Bob Schloredt. Hie difference could be the Huskies’ desire to end that long string of bowl reversals at the hands of the Big Ten and Wisconsin isn’t up to the usual calibre sent west. SUGAR BOWL This could be the best game of the lot- Each team won nine against one setback. Mississippi is • 6(4 point favorite; its lone setback came at the hands of LSU. A great defense which gave up only 21 points don’t figure to le it happen again. This rematch at least will prove whether Ole Miss coach Johnny Vaught is right when he calls his team “the best in the nation.” COTTON BOWL f Syracuse (10-0) goes out to prove irrevocably that it is the ■ best in the nation. Despite three dismal bowl efforts in the past, the saltine warriors have shot up from a 7(4 to a 12-point favoritism. That’s because Texas (9-1) led the Southwest Conference in rushing with a basic ground attack game while Syracuse had the finest rushing defense in the nation, yielding an average of only 19 yards per game. ORANGE BOWL Georgia (9-1) would seem to be at least the 11 point favorite it is rated against Missouri (6-4). Georgia has a big line with the benefit to boot of a good passing attack. Missouri is in pn a pass, i due to Oklahoma’s ineligibility. GATOR BOWL ! Arkansas (8-2) is a one-half point favorite but from here the 1 edge goes to a big Georgia Tech team which had a mere 6-4 rec- • ord. Bobby Dodd has away of 1 getting his teams "up” for these I post-season encounters, having I had Tech in eight bowls and hav- > ing won them all. ,

Major Indiana Prep Teams In Holiday Meets INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)—A dizzy round of holiday tournaments will keep most of Indiana’s top-rank-ing high school basketball clubs busy this week. No less than 25 better tourneys were scheduled between today and Saturday, involving nine of the top 10 quintents in the state—including five of the six remaining major unbeatens.

Richmond and the host team tangle in the other game. Another all-NCC show Saturday at Frankfort pits Kokomo, No. 5 in the state, against the host Hot Dogs, while Logansport meets Anderson.

Rushville at Connersville Muncie and Kokomo risk 8-0 records, East Chicago is 6-0. Rushville, No- 6, is favored in an all-South Central Conference shoot at Connersville on New Year’s Day to run its perfect string to 11. Shelbyville and Greensburg are the other starters. Marion Crawley is offering another sparkling extravaganza at Lafayette Tuesday and Wednesday, with eighth-rated Michigan City clashing with Crawley’s Broncos and unbeaten North Judson with Elwood. Other major Tuesday-Wednes-day tourneys are city shows at Indianapolis and Gary and a Southern Conference tourney at Evansville. At Indianapolis, defending state champ Attacks is fourth in the state. Tech 10th. Attacks knocked Tech from the unbeaten ranks recently, 49-46, and Shortridge is the defending tourney titlist. Alexandria, 7-0, is at Anderson Highland Saturday, along with Parker and Middletown. Jasper at Terre Haute If Jasper, No. 7 and beaten only at East Chicago Washington, and SIAC rival Vincennes have the edge in a Wednesday tourney at Terre Haute. That same day, Laporte and Whiting entertain fourteam' shOWS. Other better Tuesday-Wednes-day tourneys are at Nappanee, Knox and Mishawaka. > Fort Wayne Catholic hosts a ■Monday-Tuesday tourney, with Goshen the strongest opponent.

Fichtner Stars As Blue Defeats Gray MONTGOMARY, Ala. (UPI)— Purdue quarterback Ross Fichther was named the outstanding player in the 22nd annual Blue-Gray football game here Saturday. The Blues won a 20-8 upset victory, led by Fichtner’s deceptive handoffs and dart-like passes. "The South had a real good team," the Boilermakers star said. "I think our line outcharged them —almost every play was a gainer.” The North team was coached by Jack Mollenkopf. who led Purdue into the upper division of the Big Ten last season. It was the first time in the Blue-Gray series that the North had won two in a row. Mollenkopf tutored the Yankees last year to a 16-0 upset win. "That’s good way to lose your coaching job in this part of the country,” Mollenkopf said with a grin. Emergency Bouts On Friday's Card NEW YORK (UPI) — A record number of five emergency bouts has been added to next Friday’s card at Madison Square Garden because of the knockout prowess of all six principals in the three 10-round heavyweight bouts: Tom McNelley vs George Logan, Lee Williams vs Don Warner, and Billy Ryan vs Bartolo Soni.

Scramble For Steel Continues In 1960 CLEVELAND (UPI) — The scramble for steel will continue through the first half of 1960 even if there is no resumption of the industry strike. Steel Magazine, the metalworking weekly, based the prediction on the fact that inventories are low and unbalanced, and although some buyers have undoubtedly placed duplicate orders, they will take all the tonnage they can get in the immediate future. Auto industry pressure for shipments is expected to force the mills to continue quoting extended deliveries, particularly on flat rolled products. As long as delieveries remain extended, consumers will continue to make vague commitments for future tonnage. They won't risk drastic curtailment of their orders. Cold rolled and galvanized sheets still head the list of critically needed products. Leading producers say they can't take any additional tonnage for the first half of the year. Shipments are being allocated on past buying patterns. Steelmakers last week made a minimum observance of the Christmas holiday. The operating rate was 93.5 per cent of capacity, 2.8 points below the previous week’s revised rate- Production was about 2,647,000 ingot tons. • The trade weekly said scrap is marking time. The magazine's price composite on heavy melting scrap was unchanged last week at $41.33 a gross ton. A year ago, it was $39.67. Severe price cutting on broker stockpiled foreign steel is expected when the industry labor dispute is settled. Brokers are thought to be holding around 50,000 tons at Houston. On the average in the southwest, imported steel ordered directly from the mills costs sl2 to sls a ton less than domestic tonnage. Imported steel unloaded in Chicago during October amounted to 28,290 tons, up 52 per cent from September. The magazine said non-ferrous metalmen see a 1960 upswing. They expect bigger sales, higher production, greater price stability and little labor trouble. Titanium, lead, magnesium and nickel will show improvement.
