Washington 44 Wisconsin 8
The West is looking for a football saviour and it finds him in the person of Jim Owens, amiable Washington coach. Owens' 9-1 Huskies trounce Milt Bruhn's 7-2 Wisconsin Badgers by a 44-8 count. Led by one-eyed quarterback Bob Schloredt and speedy runner George Fleming, Washington rolls up a 17-0 lead before Wisconsin has a first down. Fleming's 53-yard scoring punt return breaks Wisconsin's back. Schloredt rushes 21 times for 81 yards and passes for 102 more.
