24 Wyoming's hard-charging Cowboys dropped the Sun Devils of Arizona State College, 20-7. in a hard-fought football -iL-fe3W3 C'f in 4 game here Saturday night. Although the Cowboys capitalized on means sum as a pass interception and recovered fumble to set up two of their touchdowns, it was their own potent passing attack that made the big difference in the game. Wyoming's single wing exploited a sticky-finzereri end in Dewey McConnell and a fine thrtmer in Chuck Spaulding, triple threat tailback. ON THE ASC side of the ledger, the Devils' running game functioned well mst of the night, but Harold Self and Dick Mackey could never get a passing attack warmed up enough to pose a threat.

The first half mostly was Wyoming in the air. The Waddies made 103 yards that way and 122 on the ground, while the Devils, playing their last game of the season, made 140 yards rushing. Half-time score was 13 to 0 for the Pokes. might have been different if the first Sun Devils play in the ball game had worked. Coach Larry Siemering sent in.

Wyoming won, 20 to 7.

The Hardin Simmons Saturday night protected their Border Conference football record by nosing out Arizona 14-13 on a muddy field. The Cowboys meet the Red Raiders of Texas Tech at Lubbock next Saturday for the conference cham pionship. ARIZONA'S WILDCATS rallied the late stages of the contest and came within a whisker of tying the game up with a touchdown late in the final period. A missed conversion effort was the difference.

Hardin-Simmons jumped into a 7-0 lead in the second period. Arizona tied it up with an 85-yard drive for a touchdown early in the third period. But the Cowboys went ahead to stay before the ses sion ended. Cowboy End Burl Troutman broke through to block Jim Do-narski's try for the all-important extra point 'in the final 45 seconds of play. THE EFFORT came after Quar- i terback Allan Stanton ended a successfful 41-yard passing drive for the Wildcats with an 11-yard Kuhel.

Stanton's passing was the highlight of the game from Arizona's standpoint; netting 162 yards. His handling of the slippery ball was splendid and his tosses clicked frequently to receivers Bill Glazier, Ken Carcella, Dave Richards, and Kuhel. Arizona broke into the scoring column early in the third period. Passes of 24 and 13 yards from Stanton to Kuhel set up the score. Dave Richards plunged the final 12 yards, taking two plays to do it.

HARDIN-SIMMONS had scored late in the second period on a 16-yard dash by Quarterback Bobby Hart. The drive started on the Cowboy 33. The Cowboys moved ahead for good on an 86-yard drive. Dunny Goode cracked over from a yard cut. He had featured the drive with an 18-yard scamper to the Arizona 16.

Corcoran Raps PGA Group As Dictatorship MIAMI, Nov. 24 (AP) Frpd Corcoran, a golf authority for more than 15 years, proposed Saturday that the Professional Golfers Association withdraw from tournament management. He suggested that a national committee of sponsors be organized to set up schedules and approve tournaments. Corcoran.

PGA tournament man- ager tor years ending in xan, now is managing a tour ot professional women golfers. He said he made his suggestion regarding PGA "for the good of goii; i nave nothing to gain." "Professional tournament golf must be divorced from the politics- ridden PGA and be completely reorganized for competitive golf to survive," said Corcoran. "The PGA should devote itself to the affairs of its members and sponsor only one tournament a yearthe PGA National Championship." Corcoran termed the PGA a dictatorship which steps in on a tournament after all the groundwork plans, publicity, money raising has been done, and then tells the local sponsors how to run the event.

THAT FAILED to stop the Devils' spirit and they marched from their own 20 down to the Wyoming 26 in seven running plays before Harley Cooper bobbled the ball and Wyoming recovered. The Devils made almost 100 yards more on the ground during the- contest than did Wyoming. The difference came in the air where Wyoming picked up 185 yards compared to 13 for the Devils, but ASC made IS first downs to 16 for the Pokes.

The Cowboys opened -the contest by taking the kickoff on fheir own 22. They picked up two first downs to the 40 before the Devils held, but Spaulding quick-kicked on third down to catch the Devils flatfooted. The ball rolled to the ASC 20.

That's where the Sun Devils' first drive started and after the razzle dazzle pass play failed Marv Wahlin, Duane Morrison and Cooper carried until he fumbled on Wyoming's 32. FROM THERE Spaulding ran on six plays and passed to McConnell twice for the first Wyoming touchdown. A 15-yard penalty during the series against the Waddies didn't faze them. Lyle Covington converted his first of two. The rest of the first quarter was about even.

The teams entered the second with Wyoming on ASC's 47, but Mitcham intercepted a Spaulding pass on his own 22. Bob Tarwater fumbled on the 32 io stop that drive, Wyoming re covering. But the Cowboys didn move past the 19. The ball changed hands twice and the Devils started to march, but a Self pass was intercepted on ASC's 43 by Darwin Dunn. Spaulding passed twice, once to Ted Layman, and the other to McConnell for the touchdown.

A bad pass from center spoiled the conv ersion and it was 13-0. THE DEVILS took the second half kickoff on their own 38 and put on a sustained drive that hit paydirt in 17 running plays, shared by Cooper and Wahlin. Wahlin moved over from the one-inch line. Tom Sanson converted. That made it 13-7 and the spec tators were delirious in roaring their delight.

Both sides held a series of downs. but then the cagy Spaulding heaved to McConnell, who slipped in behind Mitcham as he was trying to intercept and McConnell ran to the ASC 10 for 51 yards before he was hauled down. On the next play Spaulding lunged over. The fourth quarter was played on even terms with Spaulding and Mackey engaging in a punting duel, neither, side being able to start much of a drive.

MIKE O'SULLIVAN'S ANNUAL GRIPE THAT choice Salad Bowl tickets are snaffled by Kiwanis Club members before going on public sale drew the annual answer from the current president of the club. Oren Arnold, this year's president, writes: I'x let me say that there are only about 180 members of our club, which sponsors the Salad Bowl. We could hardly absorb two full sections of the stadium.

We do take a few rows of the $6 seats. But more than half of those choicest seats are occupied by people who -are NOT (Arnold's capital letters Kiwanians. "Truth is, most of the $6 seats are sold before tickets are printed to people with the foresight to apply early. Throughout the year, we urge football fans to get their applications in. The applications are filled in the order of receipt, the only fair way.

Orders start coming in as early as February, for next year. By September we have several hundred requests already stacked up. This should be tipoff enough to fans who want tickets for the 1953 Salad Bowl game." ARNOLD ADDS, IF THE KIWANIANS didn't take ALL. the risks (we lost our shirts the first year, and in emergency could lose heavily any year) we might not be entitled to a few choice seats of our own. IF we got paid for our work in staging the Salad Bowl and it is prodigious work, lasting for months and IF we didn't pay the full S6 price for tickets which we certainly do Mr.

O'Sullivan might have some grounds for complaint. "As matters stand" Arnold concludes, "he is off the beam." Both sides again have had a say. SCHOOLS THAT LEAVE AN OPEN DATE before an important game are on the wrong track, in the opinion of some North Phoenix officials. For the past five years North High has kept the weekend before the big Phoenix Union game open. The record for the Phoenix Union game, including this year's contest, shows two victories for PUHS, none for North, and three ties.

From now on, according to thihinking. North can be expected to line up a game for the week before Phoenix Union. It may not be the toughest on the schedule and neither will it be a patsy, probably, but it will allow the squad to keep sharp in competition. BITS O' THIS AND THAT Johnny Meyers, the North High jayvee, wound up his season with more than 20 touchdowns. Possessed of great speed, he will be the subject of pull and haul stress come spring.

The track coach will be trying to lure him away from the baseball coach, who knows Meyers is a good shortstop. Look Magazine may have overlooked a sleeper in picking the Border Conference basketball finish. Look sees it as (Arizona, Texas Tech, West Texas State, New Mexico Arizona State at Tempe, Texas Western, Arizona State at Flagstaff, and Hardin-Simmons. This' department hasn't checked the conference enough to argue about most of the listings, but believes ASC at Flagstaff will surprise a lot of teams. THE BATTLE OVER THE STATE Class football championship may continue to rage for some time and wind up with one or more schools claiming the mythical title but at least one coach feels Bisbee had the best team his squad faced and he didn't say Hadley Hicks was the reason.

"The Bisbee line," the coach remarked, "was the only one all season that outcharged my line." This department would like to take up the question of the state championship at more length later, but dropped in that remark because it feels that most games are won up front, whether the consistent winner has a great breakaway back or not, and is tickled to see the usually unnoticed linemen get a nod.

Tames 'Tucky, 23-0 EVANSTON, 111., Nov. 24 (AP) Illinois, choking up completely deep in touchdown territory, won the Bis 10 football title and the Rose Bowl gratuity Saturday by saueezine nast Northwestern 3-0 on Sam Rebecca's 16-yard goal in the second period. The field goal was the second ever made by the 165-pound senior from Rockford, 111. In 1949, he connected on a fielder against Ohio State, but it was a lost cause as the Buckeyes won handily. PLAYING AS IFhey were without anti-freeze in the 25 degree temperature, Illinois froze up after rampaging beyond the Northwestern 8-yard line four times.

Rebecca's three points grew to mammoth proportions as the game proceeded, and eventually Illinois began picketing on third downs in a elose-to-the-vest effort to preserve the narrow lead. Northwestern, in the same situation as a year ago when it surprised the lllini 14-7, nearly repeated a debacle which would have kept Coach Ray Eliot's conservative outfit from the conference crown and the Pasadena junket. The hard-earned triumph was Illinois' first over Northwestern in five years and provided the Orange and Blue with its first undefeated season since 1927. ILLINOIS, ranked sixth nationally, now goes to the Rose Bowl for the second time. In 1946 the lllini trounced Northwestern 20-0 to gain the bowl game in which they defeated UCLA 45-14 to start off the Big 10-Pacific Coast, Con ference bowl series.

Stanford appears to be the likely lllini foe New Year's Day.
