Bowl Teams Forego Long Grid Sessions Camblnrd Wire Strvlc j Practice sessions took on a se-j rious tempo as football teams: where the turf was fast and dry. The passing of Ed Brown of the University of San Francisco and from the east to-the west coasts Don Klosterman of Loyola spar prepared for holiday bowl and all-star battles. Key interest in the west, of course, centers around the East West game in, San Francisco Dec. 29, and the Rose Bowl at Pasa dena Jan. 1. And here is the latest from the training camps: Rose Bowl is an insurance agent but for the last six years he has spent his falls helping to make the Browns the most successful team in pro fessional football history. He led Cleveland to Its sixth straight di vision championship this year and won the balloting in a walk. The only other players who re ceived votes were Elroy "Crazy Leks" Hirsch, the Los Angeles Rams' fine end, and Tackle Lou "the toe" Groza, Cleveland's star place-kicker.

Washington's Huskies set a new team record of 568 rushing plays and 781 offensive plays, and the Oregon Ducks attempted 314 pass es for another team mark. California's Linebacker Les Richter tied one PCC mark with 44 conversion attempts and erased another by making 40 of them. Bob Burkhart of Washington State threw a record 15 passes for touchdowns. Another Cougar, Ed Barker, picked up two new records by catching 46 passes and gaining 864 yards on receptions. His gains with aerials also set a new na tional standard.

Seixas Probable Starter in Cup SYDNEY, Dec. 21 P) The average American, who takes his tennis more or less calmly, could j have no comprehension of the fever heat with which the Aus tralians are awaiting next week's Davis Cup challenge round. It s little if any exaggeration to say the atmosphere is as charged as on the eve of baseball's World Series. The fact the tennis classic between the challenging United States team and the Aussies comes smack in the middle of the Christ mas season doesn't daunt the Aus tralian fans who for days have been piling into Sydney from cities thousands of miles away. U.S. Captain Frank Shields won't make any decision on his singles players until just before the matches, but every sign points to veteran Ted Schrocder and net storming Vic Seixas as the nominees.
