Washington 17 Minnesota 7
Smiling Jim Owens proves his victory touch is no fluke as he again shows the West how to win in the Rose Bowl. This time a 17-7 victory by 9-1 Washington over Murray Warmath's 8-1 Minnesota. Again Bob Schloredt leads the Huskies to a 17-0 lead with big contributions from George Fleming, Ray Jackson, Charlie Mitchell and Brent Wooten. Sandy Stephens quarterbacks a second half comeback by No.1 nationally rated Minnesota, but the efforts of Stephens, Roger Hagberg and Bill Munsey aren't enough.
