THE BOWL GAMES
ROSE BOWL: ILLINOIS 17 WASHINGTON 7
The 75th Tournament of Roses, with President Eisenhower as Grand Marshal, is the curtain raiser to Bowl Games from Coast-to-Coast.
In the Rose Bowl the University of Illinois meets University of Washington. The Huskies score first but a bruising Illinois team gets moving in the 2nd half. Mike Taliaferro (pronounced Toliver) pushes the Illinois over in the 3rd quarter and they lead going into the final period. Then they mount an 85-yard march with the help of Player of the Day, Jim Grabowski and sew up the game.
ORANGE BOWL: NEBRASKA 13 AUBURN 7
Nebraska goes into the Orange Bowl as the under-dog but with the help of a 68-yard touchdown run by Dennis Claridge in the first minute and 13 seconds of play, the Cornhuskers take charge. Auburn scores once in the 3rd quarter but it's too little - too late.
COTTON BOWL: TEXAS 28 NAVY 6
University of Texas manages to contain Navy ace Roger Staubach at critical points as Duke Carlisle quarterbacks the Longhorns to glory. He throws two touchdown passes to Phil Harris. One of the Carlisle pass plays is 58 yards and the other 63 yards. Navy Ace, Staubach, completes 21 of 31 passes to no avail, though he does score the only Navy touchdown.
SUGAR BOWL: ALABAMA 12 MISSISSIPPI 7
There's a sweet football on tap at the Sugar Bowl in a game that becomes "The Case of the Educated Toe". Alabama's Tim Davis kicks four field goals to score all of Alabama's 12 points. Again this is a game where the losing team. Mississippi manages to squeeze out a score in the (illegible text).

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS OF 1964
The year 1964 was a year of change. A year that saw the rise and fall of national leaders around the world. Once again the strength of democratic processes demonstarted in the United States as Republicans and Democrats fought it out for the Presidency. The loudest voice of all was the quiet American voter. He sent Lyndon Baines Johnson back to the White House with a 16,000,000 plurality over Barry Goldwater.
In BRITAIN, voters there ended 13-year Conservative Party rule. Lord Home resigned and Harold Wilson, Labor Party leader, took over as Prime Minister.
KHRUSHCHEV joined the "outs" but behind the Iron Curtain it's different...he had the red carpet pulled out from under him by his "friends" on the Central Committee.
Death came for some world figures.....
NEHRU, the only Prime Minister India has ever known since independence was accorded a moving tribute by millions of Indians.
Death also claimed the man who has been called the greatest military genius in American history - GENERAL DOUGLAS MacARTHUR.
HERBERT CLARK HOOVER, 31st President, recieved a national tribute as he lay in state in the nation's Capital.
Historical precedent was shattered by POPE PAUL VI as he travelled first to the Holy Land and then to India.
The United States increased its aid to South Vietnam, but political uncertainty there continued to hamper the war against the Vietcong rebels.
A lot of loud-mouthed dames roared along the eastern seaboard. Hurricane Hilda was the loudest of the lot.
ALASKA was shaken by the greatest earthquake ever recorded on the North American Continent.
A bright chapter was in the course of human events, written with the passage of the Civil Rights Bill.
A mighty voice was heard in space as Ranger VII took four thousand pictures of the Moon in man's greatest space achievment.
Finally, 1964 will go down in history as the year of the FAIR--- the New York World's FAIR, the greatest exposition ever staged.

UNIVERSAL NEWSREEL SYNOPSIS RELEASE 39-1
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS OF 1963
That page of history that is 1965 began with the inauguration of the 36th President of the United States and ended with a great U.S. triumph in space.
President Johnson's inauguration set the tone for his administration's great society.
The Civil Rights Drive gained new impetus with demonstrations across the nation and the signing of the Voting Rights Bill.
Death came to the man who led the free world from the threatening doom of slavery to a glorious victory. Men remembered and paid last tribute to Winston Churchill.
Adlai Stevenson died as he lived -- a simple man who belonged with those who became great figures without holding high office.
Again in 1965 man stood helpless against the forces of nature. The toll of floods and tornadoes proved that he was still unable to cope with many of his earthbound problems.
Pope Paul VI made history himself by becoming the first Pontiff ever to visit the United States. At the invitation of the United Nations he addressed that international body calling it "Man's last hope of peace."
The U. S. increased its commitments to South Vietnam in both men and materials and, despite widespread Anti-war demonstrations in the U. S. vowed to wage war to victory.
There were bright and glorious moments, too. Gemini Four carried James McDivitt and Edward White aloft for White's famous "walk in space." Just six months later Gemini Six and Gemini Seven met 185 miles above the earth for their famous rendezvous and brought to groundlings some of the most amazing movies ever made.
It was a year of sadness, a year of triumph, a year that now belongs to history.

BOB HOPE ENTERTAINS TROOPS
For the 25th year in a row, Bob Hope brings his annual Christmas Show to troops in the field. At Camranh Bay, South Vietnam, he jokes, dances, sings, brings on pretty girls in a two-hour revue which has the GI's screaming for more.
NEW HOMES FOR REFUGEES
Some 11 hundred villagers are moved from one community to modern apartments in the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong. The exodus is necessary since a man-made reservoir, sorely needed to boost fresh water, will soon cover their homes with a lake.
LONDON WIG CLINIC
Europe's first wig-clinic, in London, is a huge success. The false top-mops are cut, styled, dyed, shaped, shorn, and returned to the wearer with an entire "new look." The transformation is startling and so is the towering style, but not a strand's out of place.
