Bowl-Bound

Before 97,239 fans at Ann Arbor last week, Ohio State's Jim Hague tried for a vital fourth-quarter point after touchdown. The kick was wide, but after rival Michigan was called offside, Hague tried again and this time the ball went squarely between the goal posts. That tied the score, 7-7, and helped Ohio State finish the season as co-champions (with Michigan) of Western Conference football. It also guaranteed the Buckeyes a trip to the Rose Bowl.

Their foe in Pasadena on Jan. 2 would be California, the Pacific Coast Conference's all-conquering champions, who got a scare from arch-rival Stanford last week. Stanford was ahead, 14-12, in the third period, when Jack Swaner, California's star halfback, began to run wild. Final score: California 33, Stanford 14.

On other gridirons last week:

P: Unbeaten Oklahoma squeezed by pesky Santa Clara, the only team that beat them last season. Score: 28-21. It assured the Okies a Sugar Bowl bid.

P: Virginia's dream of an unbeaten season ended abruptly when four passes were intercepted. Their conqueror: Tulane (28-14).

P: Thrice-beaten Princeton pulled one out of the fire with less than two minutes to play, upset favored Dartmouth, 19-13.

P: At New Haven, Harvard and Yale fought the battle of the Ivy League cellar. The man who covered himself with most glory: Yale's popular Negro captain and star halfback, Levi Jackson, who scored Yale's first two touchdowns. After Harvard was crushed, 29-6, Levi, with an assist from other players, toted Yale's 300-lb. Coach Herman Hickman off the field on his shoulders.
