Last Minute Passes Stop Duke in Rose Bowl Thriller
Southern California edged Duke 7 3 in the 25th Rose Bowl as Doyle Naves and Alvin Krueger connected for a late 40 second winning touchdown after Duke led with a field goal. Attendance hit 93 000 setting a gate record with USC collecting about 310 000 and Duke around 110 000 in prize money. Duke’s weariness kept them from stopping the late aerial drive while USC’s reserves spearheaded the finish.
