...third quarter. From among them, Substitute Tailback Rudy Bukich found Halfback Al Carmichael all alone in the end zone, hit him with a 22-yd. touchdown pass. Then, outlasting a Rose Bowl jinx that twice saw California lose to the Big Ten in the final minutes, the hopped-up Trojan defense stopped two more Wisconsin drives inside the 30. Final score, for the West Coast's first victory in seven lean years against the Midwest...
