This will be Graham's sec-'
ond, and final, farewell to toot
balL He retired after the 1954 wars 1
but relented and returned at'
Brown's urging when the club got !
off to a poor start in the pre-:
league season exhibitions.
Four times the Browns went down'
in that period, including a 38-21
loss to the Rams. Then No. 14 re
appeared in the Cleveland quart
erback spot and the club returned
to its normal winning ways.
This is the third meeting for
the championship between the two
teams. Both rank as epics in a
league abundant in storied con
tests. la 1930. with 28 seconds in the
game, mighty Lou Groza kicked
a field goal to win the game for
the Browns, 30-28.
Botk Threats Relnra
In 1951, Van Brocklin and his
clutch receiver. Tommy Fear,
collaborated for a 73-yard touch
down past midway in the last quar
ter and the Rams won, 24-17.
Groza, who kicked a 52-yard
field goal in the 1951 game, and
the Van Brocklin-Fears combina
tion are, of course, still very much I
present.
The Ram stock, never higher
than Cleveland's, dropped this
week when fullback Paul (Tank)
Younger was delcared out of the
game because of a neck injury,
and offensive center Leon Mc
Laughlin went to bed with the
mumps.
Stars Were Missed
These breaks capped a series
of mishaps that caused Ram sup
porters to wonder and applaud
how the club ever got into the title
game. Such players as Younger,
Dan Towler, Skeet Quinlan, Don
Paul. Elroy Hirsch, Tommy Mc
Cormick, Bob Boyd and Charley
Toogood missed from three to nine
games.
There were no surprises in the
starting offensive lineups. Brown
will lead off with, a backfield of
Graham, halfbacks Ray Renfro
and Fred Morrison and fullback
Ed Modzelewski, and ends Darrell
Brewster and Dante Lavelli.

Browns Top Statistics
Cleveland's running attack, with
2,020 yards gained, has a statisti
cal edge over the Rams 1,943. And
Los Angeles 2,061 yards through
the air is shy of Cleveland's 2,
225 yards.
In six championship games,
Cleveland has faced but two foes.
Detroit and the Rams. The win
ning count is 3-2 against the
Browns. They are split with Los
Angeles and lost twice to Detroit
before winning the 1954 game.
Uphill Grind
Faces Wyoming
In Sun Bowl
EL PASO, Tex. OB-Wyoming's
Cowboys, n addition to playing
without the services of their chief
wrangler, have an uphill grind to
face as they put the finishing
touches on the Sun Bowl game
plans.
When Wyoming squares off
against Texas Tech here Jan. 2
in the2nd annual Sun Bowl battle,
the Skyline Conference member
will find the following disadvan
tages: '
1. Their red hot cowboy from
Brooklyn, Joe Mastrogiovanni, will
not be in action. Mr. M. is out
with an aching knee and will not
participate in Wyoming's first ap
pearance in the Sun Bowl. He
provided the Wyoming passing,
kickoffs, extra points and field
goals and did the quarterbacking
during the regular season.
Lighter Squad
2. They will be lighter than
Tech by about 25 pounds to the
man on the line. Tech is expected
to start a forward wall that
averages out about 206, while
Wyoming is expected to average
around 182 up front.
3. They will be meeting a team
that has lot of "showing" to do
and one that" is looking for a
chance to improve on its poor
record in the Sun Bowl. In four
previous appearances in the game,
Tech has won only once, beating
College of the Pacific 25-14 In 1952.
And When the dopesters start
looking over auch a set of facts
as that, Tech is placed as about
a two-touchdown favorite to im
press the Southwest Conference.
Acceptance Wanted
This business of impressing the
Southwest Conference, by the way.
may be entering into the picture
a great deal. Tech missed ad
mittance to the big conference ny
only one vote this year and would
like nothing better than a solid
Sun Bowl victory to show the
doubting Thomases that it is ready
for the big time.
The Red Raiders, however,
showed many the. were strictly
top drawer on the first game of
the season this year whan they
upset Texas. Tech finished out the
season with a 7-2-1 record and won
the Border Conference title for the
fourth time in the last five years.
Net as Impressive
Wyoming, fielding one of the
smallest major college teams in
lk jtAiintrv fmtnM fhrnllffh with A
good 7-3 season, but. wasn't oo
the whole quite so impressive as
Tech. Wyoming, also in the midst
of an athletic expansion program,
finished in a tie for third place in
the Skyline Conference standings.
The only common foe the two
teams have met this season was
Houston. The Buffs dropped Tech

Yankee TeXi Favored to Win
In North-South Grid, Classic
MIAMI, Fla. (JP) The Rebels offer a dangerous aerial threat,
but greater size and speed have made the Yankees favorites by a
touchdown in Monday night's annual North-South college all-star
football game in the Orange Bowl.
In their choice of a starting of
fensive lineup, the North coaches,
Bernie Crimmins of Indiana and
Art Lewis of West Virginia, in
dicated they would rely about
equally on ground and air thrusts.
Their no. 1 quarterback, Freddy
Wyant of West Virginia, is an out
standing passer and will have
splendid receivers in such ends as
Don Holleder of Army, Jim Free
man of Iowa and Gene.Kapish
of Notre Dame.
Starting Halfbacks
For the starting halfbacks Bob
by Moss of West Virginia and Tom
Troxell of Miami (Ohio) and full
back Pat Uebel of Army.
Leading the way for these run
ners will be a massive line in
cluding such giants as Bob Skor
onskl of Indiana, Bruce Bosley
and Sam Huff of West Virginia.
John Miller of Boston College and
Freeman, all weighing In at 230
pounds or more.
"We have lots of fine linemen
and good backfield speed," raid
Crimmins. "This year, we might
break that south jinx."
The Rebels hold a (-1-1 edge in
the series. Last year, they came
from behind to win 20-17.
Welsh Guides South
Boastinc the nation's No. 1 pas
ser In little George Welsh of Navy
and the top receiver in Harold
Burnine of Missouri, the Souut is
almost sure to strike heavily
through the. air.
In practice. Welsh and Burnine
formed a terrific passing combina
tion. Welsh also had his teammate,
Ron Beagle, the great Navy end
as a target.
If the big North linemen are suc
cessful In rushing Welsh off his
feet, the South also will have two
fine breakaway halfbacks to pro
pel them along the ground in Jack
Loach of Mlajni,(Fla.) and Carl
Brasell of South' Carolina. Bobby
Gerrard of Georgia will start at
the fullback post.
UUIe But Mean
"We're little but mean." com
mented Wally Butts or Georgia,
who. is coaching the South team
along with Rex Enrlght of South
Carolina. "1 figure there'll be sev

looks like a tossup to me."
The game, starting at 1:15 p.m.
