Description

The original release sheet reads: THE BOWL GAMES ROSE BOWL ILLINOIS 17 WASHINGTON 7 The 75th Tournament of the Roses, with President Eisenhower as Grand Marshall, is the curtain raiser to Bowl games from coast-to-coast. In the Rose Bowl the University of Illinois meets University of Washington. The Huskies score first but a bruising Illinois team gets moving in the 2nd half. Mike Talliaferro (pronounced Toliver) pushes the Illinois over in the 3rd quarter and they lead going into the final period. Then they mount an 85-yard march with the help of Player of the Day, Jim Grabowski and sew up the game. ORANGE BOWL NEBRASKA 13 AUBURN 7 Nebraska goes into the Orange Bowl as the under-dog but with the help of a 68-yard touchdown run by Dennis Claridge in the first minute and 13 seconds of play, the Cornhuskers take charge. Auburn scores once in the 3rd quarter but it's too little - too late. COTTON BOWL TEXAS 28 NAVY 6 University of Texas manages to contain Navy ace Roger Staubach at critical points as Duke Carlisle quarterbacks the Longhorns to glory. He throws two touchdown passes to Phil Harris. One of the Carlisle pass plays is 58 yards and the other 63 yards. Navy Ace, Staubach, completes 21 of 31 passes to no avail, though he does score the only Navy touchdown. SUGAR BOWL ALABAMA 12 MISSISSIPPI 7 There's sweet football on tap at the Sugar Bowl in a game that becomes "The Case of the Educated Toe." Alabama' s Tim Davis kicks four field goals to score all of Alabama's 12 points. Again this is a game where the losing team, Mississippi, manages to squeeze out a score in the final quarter to avoid a whitewash.
