He was one of a gang of re- serves who had a great day filling in for injured Purdue regulars. It may be back to the bench for Danny at Illinois Saturday if fullbacks Max Schmaling and Bill Murakowski are ready to go. They're bigger and faster than Pobojewski. “Of course, I’d like to play all the time. That’s why I shifted from Michigan State to Purdue. Any- way, I had a minute of flory on that touchdown.

One of those four teams very likely will be the host team in the [New Year’s Day classic in New Orleans. They have the most ap- pealing records to date in the Southeastern Conference, which, purely by the process of elimina- tion, seems assured of placing a team in the Sugar Bowl. Champions of most: of the other major .conferences already are committed to other bowls. The Southern Conference prohibits bowl trips. That narrows the Sugar Bowl field to the SEC, independ- ents and runners-up.

Since then Ole Miss, which lost to Tech in the Sugar Bowl last year: 24-7, has whipped Van- derbilt 28-6, Tulane 45-14 and Ar- kansas 28-0. The Rebels, who still must meet LSU, North Texas State, Maryland and Mississippi State, have scored more points this season than any other SEC team—162 in six games. And they have limited their foes to 45, best in the conference. LSU, tied three times but still unbeaten, plays host to Mississippi Saturday night in a2 game which could knock one of them out of the Sugar Bow! running. Mississippi continued to show plenty of offense and outstanding defensive ability against Arkansas Saturday. They stopped the Razor backs four times inside the 20. LSU was held to a 21-21 deadlock iby underdog Florida and may have escaped defeat thanks to a 15-yard penalty against the Gators in the dying minutes. Florida was on the Tigers’ 15 when Coach Bob ‘Woodruff mistakenly sent in an ineligible player. Georgia Tech, whipped 27-14 by top-ranked Notre Dame, also has a tie with Florida marring its rec- ord. The Yellow Jackets, who go ito Vanderbilt Saturday, were over- come by the Irish’s superior pow- er. The defeat was the first for Tech in 32 games. Auburn hammered out a 34-7 victory over Tulane to stay in the bowl picture despite a defeat by Tech and a tie with, Mississippi ‘State. Auburn plays host to Flor- ida Saturday and Tulane enter- tains Army. Alabama, usually s prime bowl candidate, already has lost one game and tied three. The Crimson Tide had to settle for a 7-7 dead- lock with Mississippi State when a last second field goal was low. Alabama meets Georgia in Athens and State takes on Texas ‘Tech this weekend. Tennessee, another perennial bowl candidate, smothered little Louisville 59-6, but the Vols have been beaten by Mississippi State‘ and Duke and tied with Alabama. ‘Their next foe is North Carolina, which bowed to Gcorgia Saturday 27-14, Vanderbilt finally got into the victory column by beating Virginia 28-13 -and Kentucky bowled over Villanova 19-0, Kentucky pla: Rice in Houston Saturday night.
