ening game, it was his field goal

He had a total of 1!> points.
Line's overall total was exceed-

round. The Wolfpack were b*'fud-
died by the Lions' zone defense
for the first half and trailed, 26-
23.
But in the second half the pack

high scorer with 15 points and
Dick Dickey, voted the most val-

DALLAS, Tex., Dec. 31 il*.K _
Rice Institute's methodical Owls
and the aerial-minded University
North Carolina Tarheels got
their final "tempering" today u
their respective coaches pronoun-
ced them "on edge and ready" for
Monday's 14th Annual Cotton
Bowl classic.
Only light limbering up drflU
will be on the Sabbath schedaie
of the Southwest and Southern
conference champions tomorrow.
Coaches Jess Neely of Rice and
Carl Snavely of North Carolina
said today.
With no late injuries of conse-
quence bobbing up to alter the
picture, Neely's Owls remained
a one-touchdown favorite to main-
tain a perfect Rice Bowl record
when the two teams lineup for
the 1:15 p.m. CST kickoff before
a sellout crowd of 75,347.
The Owls and their T formation
attack without a noticeable weak
spot on either offense or defense
was counted upon by local obser-
vers to provide the" extra punch
needed to counter-balance the
triple threats of Charlie |Cho*>-
Choo) Justice.
Post-season practice sessions
gave no indication that either
Neely or Snavely would vary
much from their basic offensive
patterns—the T for Rice, the sing-
le wing for North Carolina.
Rice has-been conducting all of
its trainnig ou the home campus
at Houston and will not move into
Dall;'.s until less than 24 hours he-
fore game time—late tomorrow
night.
North Carolina flew here from
Chapel Hill Wednesday and Snav-
ely has been working the Tarheels
behind locked gates at Dal-Hi
stadium once daily.
Justice, ailing much of the sea-
son with torn or strained liga-
ments and a bone chip in his leg,
appeared to be ready to spark the
North Cariolina attack. He has
c-eaaed to show signs of a limp in
workouts and his punting, run-
ning and passing in scrimmage
has been sharp.
Neeljr, usually one of the moat
pessimistic of coaches, has been
unusually loquacious, for him, in
expressing satisfaction with his
team's mental and physical condi-
tion for the Monday clash.

Hogan Expected
To Hit Comeback
Trail In Tourney
| LOS ANGELES, Dec. 31. <U.R>—
Bantam Ben Hogan, whose sen-
sational golf career was believed
cut short by an auto-bus collision
last February, indicated today he
may hit the comeback trail in the
Los Angeles open.
Hogan, pleased by two practice
rounds .on the Riviera course
yesterday, said he may go around
again today and tomorrow.
"I won't know about the Los
Angeles open until I've had a
couple more practice rounds un-
der my belt," he said. "But I did
a lot better than I expected."
Hogan shot the course in a good
two-under par 69—33 on the first
nine and 38 coming home.
"I was chipping and putting
like a madman." he said. "But I
wasn't driving very well, or hit-
ting good shots to the green.
"I was lucky too. Some of my
drives hit trees and bounced back
into good playable positions."
Riviera, scene of the Los An-
geles open which the little golfer
has taken thf?e times, once was
tagged "Hogan's Alley" because
of his phenomenal success on its
fairways.
Although he repeatedly said his
legs were not yet strong enough
for tournament golf. Bantam Ben
yesterday walked the entire 18
holes without using a motor scoot-
er he said he needed recently in
Texas.
"My legs swell up some," he
said. "But I use one of those golf
gallery folding chairs and rest
when the other fellows are shoot-
ing."
Officials of the $15,000 local e-
vent which opens next Friday said
they would keep a spot1 open for
Hogan until Tuesday.

Aggies Bock Home
Minus A Victory
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 31 <UP)
— The scrapping Texas Aggies
turned homeward today without a
victory to show for their three-
game swing through Arizona and
California during the past week.
Their latest loss came last night
at the Cow Palace, where Stan-
ford's fire wagon cage team turned
on the heat in the second half to
whip the Aggies 55-49 after be-
ing outplayed for the first half.
A&M led 32-27 at the halfway
mark, but after the intermission
the West Coast club was ignited
by sophomore forward Jim Walsh.
The lanky youngster poured
through six baskets in the final
period to give him 17 points and
the game's high scoring honors.
Texas A&M's great guard. Jewel
Texas A4M's great guard,
Jewell McDonnell, scored 13 points
as did Stanford's George Yardley.
The visitors' inability to cash in
at the free throw line cost t'nem
enough points to win the game as
they missed nine out of 12 chances
with Bill Turnbow contributing
five of the misfires.
The Aggies lost to California
Thursday night and to Arizona
earlier in the week.

NEW YORK. Dee. Si. CRi_
Carmine Vingo, a yo—* heavy-
weight boxer wheee family never
game, lay in "very aenous" con-
dition today frmn brain injuries
resulting from a Midiean Square
Garden knoefcewt.
The 20-year- old Viafe waa

by Reeky Mareiana. Bnekton,
wae has tancM oat 23 af
his previous
ponents.
il op-
The more than S56 fifht enthus-
iasts who gathered at St. Clare's
hospital dn-inc the night praying
for Vingo's recovery, hoped he
would not be the 19th man to die
this year mt ring injuries.
Vingo, who never had been
knocked off his feet in 17 previous
professional fights and had lost
only one, was given the last rites
of the Catholic chureh at the hos-
pital.
Referee Harry Ebbets, a former
light heavyweight, said Vingo's
head struck the ring-floor "with
terrific force" when he was driven
backwards to the canvas by a left
hook. Vingo had been floored
twice earlier for counts of ninje,
in the first and second rounds. •
Dr. Vincent N&rdiello, a physi-
cian of the New York Boxing
Commision's staff, said that thop-
gh X-rays disclosed no skull
fracture nor blood clots, the eoai-
fthnn or swelling on the right
side at the brain had caused par-
tial paralysis of Vingo's left sitie.
'Natdiello and Dr. Carl Peter-
son, brain specialist at St. Clare's
agreed thaf "cloudiness" in the in-
jured boxer's Spinal fluid indicat-
ed possibilities of a "slight brutin
hemorrhage."

would await developments to de-

Rev. Paul Gallivan of Boston,

had come to. New York for the
scheduled ID-round bout, gave
Vingo conditional absolution in
the dressing room, to which he
had been carried from the ring.
