Scoreboard

P: Gang-tackling Tennessee Volunteers held Texas A. & M. scoreless by grinding the Aggies' great halfback. John Crow, deep into the wet turf of Florida's 'Gator Bowl. Crow, in turn, stopped one Tennessee touchdown by separating Volunteer Tailback Bobby Gordon from both ball and senses with a vicious tackle, saved another by hitting Gordon so hard that oxygen was needed to revive him. But Crow could not keep Tennessee's Sammy Burklow from kicking his only field goal of the season and winning the game 3-0.

P: Boasting half a dozen All-Americans to beef them up, the Eastern All-Stars charged into San Francisco for the annual Shrine charity game, ran smack into a squad of Westerners who had not bothered to read their press clippings. Led by Arkansas' Gerald Nesbitt, the West whipped the East 27-13.

P: Tutored by Slingin' Sammy Baugh, past master of passing, and apparently unbothered by eyeglasses as thick as welders' goggles, Hardin-Simmons' Quarterback Ken Ford took a team of Southerners into the Blue-Gray game in Montgomery, completed twelve of 23 tosses and beat the North 21-20.

P: Searching desperately for a power hitter to bat them into pennant contention, the Pittsburgh Pirates decided to gamble on the strong arms and weak back of the Cincinnati Redlegs' First Baseman Ted Kluszewski. Although a slipped disk kept Big Klu out of action most of last summer, and his batting average fell from his 1954 high of .326 to a low of .268, the Pirates took him in an even trade for their own healthier, steady-hitting (.313) Dee Fondy.
