USC 14 Indiana 3
Johnny McKay is in the second of a four-game Rose Bowl appearance streak as USC's coach, his 9-1 Trojans a bit too strong for the Indiana Hoosiers of Johnny Pont (9-1) who appear in Pasadena for the first time. The 14-3 USC conquest also presents O.J. Simpson who scores both Trojan touchdowns and gains 128 yards in 25 carries. Harry Gonso, Indiana quarterback, can't crack USC's defense except for a 27-yard field goal by Dave Kornowa.
