After whipping the Oregon State 76-72 in overtime Monday night for their sixth triumph, Indiana’s Hoosiers bowed last night to the Northwestern team 67-51. Meantime, Kentucky's Wildcats won their own tournament with a 73-66 decision over LaSalle of Phil- adelphia. The defeat was La Salle’s second in eight games. Wade (Swede) Halbrook, Ore- gon State’s 7-foot-3 sensation, paced the Beavers: with 21 points while Don Schlundt, 6-10 Indiana center, was held to 19 after drop- ing in 34 on Monday night.

By BEN FUNK MIAMI, Fla. —A free-scoring} ground-air duel is in prospect for the 50,000 fans expected to turn out Christmas night for the North-} South college all-star game——the| first of the big postseason football classics. North Coach Stu Holcomb of Purdue predicted a score of 28-21, without picking a winner. South! ‘Coach Andy Gustafson forecast an even higher score and declared the} South will win on Zeke Bratkow-/ ski's passes. The teams battled to a 21-21 tie last year. Previously, the South had won three games, the North one. Gustafson named Georgia's Brat- kowski yesterday as his starting quarterback and it’s a good bet the Rebels will pass two plays out of three. “The Brat” has been} worked almost exclusively in pass formations from the split T. Starting at ends will be two of the nation’s top aerial receivers— Bratkowski’s teammate John Car- son and Wayne Hopkins of Baylor. Roy Evans of Purdue will quar- terback the North team. With him in the starting backfield will be three other Big Ten players all noted for their running ability— Dusty Rice, Iowa; Harland Carl, Wisconsin; and Ken Miller, Illinois. “We're loaded with fast run- ners,” Holcomb said, ‘and natu- rally we'll use them. We'll do some Passing too, but we can’t hope to match the South throwers.” Gustafson said the South would pass at least 50 per cent of the time and added that his main hope for victory rests in Bratkowski, “one of the greatest passers I’ve ever seen.” Joining Bratkowski in the South’s No. 1 offensive backfield will be halfbacks Harol Lofton of Missis- sippi and Bob Bowman of William & Mary, and fullback Byrd Looper of Duke, The teams will use the old two-platoon system. These will be the starting of- fensive lines: South: Ends, Carson and Hop- kins; tackles, Jack Perkins, Navy and Julian Boyd, Missouri; guards, Steve ‘Eisenhauer, Navy, and ‘Crawford Mims, Mississippi; cen- ter, Ed Beatty, Mississippi. North: Ends, Don Penza, Notre Dame, and Ken Buck, College of the Pacific; tackles, Dave White- aker, Purdue, and. Jim Balog, Michigan; guards, Earl Meyer, ‘Kansas State, and Menil Mavar- aides, Notre Dame; center, Jim Schrader, Notre Dame.
