TULANE SUBDUED BY TROJAN GRIDDERS IN CLASSIC STRUGGLE

Living up to their reputation as a powerful team on the offensive, Southern California drives the Green Wave to a 21-12 defeat. But the Greenies fight to the last ditch. In the final quarter Don Zimmerman finally gets his overhead game going on all cylinders and drops a pass into Jerry Dalrymple's hands for a score and follows it closely with another touchdown over a similar route. But the Southern gentlemen start too late, and the mythical national championship goes to the West Coast eleven.

THE FINEST IN THE INDUSTRY
ADVANCE INFORMATION FOR NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY AND EXPLOITATION
REPORT FROM VIETNAM
The frustrating war in Viet Nam is not only a battle against the Vietcong but against another formidable enemy...the jungle! It is a series of minor battles, small pockets of action like the one pictured here.
Loyal government troops flush the Red rebels from foxholes near Saigon and kill 82 with the loss of 8 government men.
SNOW can BE BEAUTIFUL
In Japan they don't just sit around a hot habachi and wait for s-p-r-i-n-g when it snows. They hold a festival with towering ice sculptures that attracts people from all over the nation. It's a sad day when warm weather arrives and the show goes down the drain.
"STRANGE BEDFELLOWS" MEANS BEAUTY
The world premiere of the new Universal comedy, "STRANGE BEDFELLOWS" is a gala affair in Florida. They dedicate a new plush theatre in Hollywood, Florida and hold a beauty contest to select "Miss Gina" - named for the picture's star, Gina Lollobrigida. Gig Young, who is also in "STRANGE BEDFELLOWS", does the honors for the beauty winner.
SPORTS
TRACK RECORDS FALL IN TWO MEETS
The indoor track season jumps off to a record start on both the East and West Coast. Mary Rand of Britain sets a new broad-jump record in Los Angeles, beating the old mark by more than a foot. In New York, Tom Farrell sets a new record in the Half-Mile race as he battles Bill Crothers of Toronto down to the wire. His new mark topples the record held by speedster Peter Snell of New Zealand.
