  Texas L~onghorns Win Berth In Cotton Bowl Put Texas IN the Cotton Bowl, start Navy on its way, then duck for cover when the b 6 gridiron heroes start scrambling to fill in the missing pieces next week. Texas, the No. l college foot ball team in the nation and the only major school to boast a perfect record, deServedly earned the first of the juicy bowl assignments by beating Texas Christian, ITO, on Saturday. The Longhorns, with a go mark, can complete their first perfect season in 4S years by defeating a weak Texas Ann squad on Thanksgiving Day. Baylor still has a chance to catch Texas and force a tie in the Southwest Conference should the Longhorns falter in their fl nal game, but the Cotton Bowl still belongs to Texas since it owns a decision over Baylor. Second-ranked Navy continued to shine as the most i’m pressive opponent for Texas by outlasting Duke, 1925, as Roger Staubach set two Academy rec ords. The Midshipmen will car ny an 81 record into their season finale against Army, Nov. 80. Tom Stockton, a third-string fullback, scored once and paced the Texas attack against TCU. the Navy backfield, broke school season records for most pass compilations and most yardage gained. John Sal added a 93-yard run, the longest scoring dash in Navy history. The situation concerning the other major bowl games is a lot more muddled but the puzzle will solve itself in a lot of cases next Saturday. A quick survey Of the bowl picture reveals: Rose Bowl: Michigan State, ranked No. 4, needs at least a tie against eighth-rated Illinois to clinch the Big Ten title and a spot in the granddaddy of all poSt-season games. Should the Illini win the contest at East Lansing, they’ll earn the trip to Pasadena. Washington, upset $40 by UCLA on Saturday, still can clinch the host berth and the Big Six title by beating Wash ington State at Seattle. Another Huskie loss, however, can send the bid to UCLA or Southern Cal ifornia, who clash at Los Angeles. Orange Bowl: Ninth-ranked Nebraska, a 20–⁠16 victor over Oklahoma State, tangles with Ok lahoma at Lincoln in a game which will decide the Big Eight titlist and an Orange Bowl Berth. The sixth-rnnked Sooners stayed in contention by beat ing Missouri, 1873, Saturday. Best bet for the other spot
