PAGE SIX ROGUE MEWS WED.. DEC. 22. 1954 BEAR'S DEII Br Larry Kerr Here we are once again for some more observations in the field of sports. Gen Parent's aggressive play and outstanding pass-receiving has earned him a spot on the 1954 All -Southern Oregon Conference team. Other Grizzlies mentioned were 2nd team- Harry Johnson and Phil Sword, and honorable mention Alvin Lorenz and Jerry Mickle. The Grizzlies rough p re conference schedule is going to better prepare them for the con ference dashes with Medford, Grants Pass and Klamath Falls. The Bears have played Fortuna, Crescent City, Madras, and Bend. Mustangs Look Good Speaking of basketball, the Milwaukee Mustangs look like a sure thing to win the State crown again this year. Led by All-Staters Ted Miller and El men Bloedel the Mustangs seem to be the choice to win again. This year's Bowl game ar- rangements are probably the worst in the history of the game. The nation's first and third teams, UCLA and Okla- noma respectively, are both be- mg forced to set out because they are champions of two coo- ferences not allowing their teams to return to the Bowl two years in succession. USC To Play Ohio This leaves Southern Cali fornia (beaten 34-0 by UCLA) facing undefeated, powerful Ohio State in the Rose bowl. Nebraska (beaten only 55-6 by Bowl because of this type of jn a ""W count at haU arraneement Thev will play t,me' went on to defeat Cres S'wS lo5 to Navy by ?

However, the colorful bowl pageantry, and some hard fought football stand a good chance of giving these games the excitment they have had before My prediction, are: Ohio State over Southern California in the Rose Bowl. Georgia Tech over Arkans as in the Cotton Bowl. Navy over Mississippi in the Sugar Bowl. Duke over Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. The East-West and North South games should be close and exciting. The top players from the schools who are not in the Bowls (like UCLA, Okla homa, Notre Dame, etc.) will play in these top-flight Shrine Benefit games. Who will win? Anyone's guess.
