Cotton Bowl Rice over Ala bama. Gator Bowl Texas Tech over Auburn. Each of the selections is, at the moment, the favorite. The odds-makers quote Michigan Slate by 6; Georgia Tech by 13, Maryland by 6W; Rice by 7Vj and Texas Tech by 5V4. With those kind ot odds, the best bet among the underdogs would seem to be Alabama. Bowl by bowl it shapes up this way: ROSE BOWL UCLA and State both beat one common rival, Oregon State, the Uclans by an edge of 410 and State by 34-6. But the midwest erners are winding up their first year of Big Ten competition and would like to go all the way and regain the prestige which the conference lost in last year's Rose Bowl contest.

The players snapped into ac tion when a fire broke out in the third floor wing of the plush Huntington Hotel where they are staying, causing smoke, water and heat dmage estimated at $25,000. Several team members, some of whom were billeted in the wing, manned fire hoses, helped spread the alarm, and aided oc cupants of 10 rooms to safety. "The Michigan State boys get all the credit for putting the fire nut," declared Hotel Manager Stephen Koyce. It was well un der control when the fire depart ment arrived.

While some of the players made sure none of the hotel residents were in danger, others, according lo Royce, manned fire fighting equipment and prevented the tlames from spreading. Among those who helped extin- guisn tne tire, Koyce said, were center Joe Badaczewski, tackle Urn Jebb, center Fred Rody, full back Evan Slonac, guard Gene Lekenta, and team manager Keith Darby. The fire, which started in a lin en closet, blistered walls and ceil ings in the wing and gutted the closet. Most of the damage was caused by smoke, Koyce said A lot of hard work meanwhile is on schedule this week for the squad in preparation for its Rose Bowl game with .UCLA on New Year's Day. MSC football boss Biggie Munn proved it's pretty hard to please i coach after a late Saturday afternoon scrimmage session that had a crowd applauding and sports writers burbling. There were eight touchdowns made in the session. Most of the scoring plays didn't satisfy the coach. ONE DANDY "There was one dandy though," Munn admitted. Everyone car ried out their assignments per fectly on that one." On this play quarterback Earl Morrall heaved a 70-yard touch down pass to end Ellis Duckett. West Coast sports writers, cas ing the MSC squad, were particu larly impressed by Leroy Boldcn, the hard-hitting, high scoring, pint-sized Spartan who bowled through his teammates with methodic fury. The Bruins also scheduled two- a-day practice sessions, resuming Monday. Coach Red Sanders, who has missed three drills because of a chest cold, hoped to be back on the field. fense and lost to Notre Dame's powerhouse by only two touch downs. West Virginia scored a pair of fine victories in downing Pitt and Penn Slate. However, Tech had early season difficult ies shifting over to the one-platoon system and became in creasingly stronger. ORANGE BOWL This should be a whale of a ga,me and Maryland figures to be extended to the final gun for the first time this season. How ever, Jim Tatum and his boys would like to put a clincher on their mythical number one rank ing and will be out to down Ok lahoma by more, than Notre Dame did, the Irish having squeezed past the Sooncrs, 28 21. COTTON BOWL Alabama had trouble getting started this season but was roar ing down the stretch. On the other hand, Rice made a habit out of winning the ones it had to have, GATOR BOWL Fighting for a place in the football sun, Texas Tech will go all out and rates an offensive edge as the national scoring champion. On one comparative game, Tech beat Mississippi State, 27-20, while Auburn play ed State at 21-21 tie. Seattle Couple Leads Netters SEATTLE Uei Two Seattle A Patient Mart players have been ranked No. 1 in Northwest tennis for 1953 Fred Fisher getting the call in the men's singles division and Janet Hopps taking top spot in women's singles. Two of the region's outstand ing young stars, Bill Quillian of Seattle and Don Flye of Tacoma, were unranked by the Pacific Northwest Lawn Tennis Associa tion for "insufficient data." The Association explained that a player must appear in one ma-1 jor and one minor regional tour nament to earn consideration. Quillian and Flye spent much of the season touring the tourneys in other areas Also unranked for insufficient data were Paul Willey and Law-1 rence Barclay of Vancouver, B.C. and Doris Popple of Oswego, Ore. Following Fisher on the men's singles rating board were Jack Lowe, Seattle; Emery Neale, Portland: Wally Bostick, Seattle; Clyde Knox, Hugh Findlay and Jack Neer, all of Portland; Jim Mackcn and Bill Green, Vancou ver, B.

It seems he has been wailing nearly all his life for important events involving him to take place. Of course, when the time finally rolls around ana op portunity knocks, Ezzard doesn't slam the door. He takes aavan taee of every opportunity. So the soft spoken lormer heavyweight champion of the world isn't at all bitter about get ting the run around on a chance lo regain his crown. WAITED BEFORE I waited for a long time to get the title in the first place, he says. "So I guess waiting a little longer won't hurt. Al though I'll have to admit I've been ready quite a while. Ezzard and his co-manager Jake Mintz and Tom Tannas, are so certain that they can lick any one in the world right now that they arc ready to take on all comers in order to get a chance at Rocky Marciano. "Why, we'll be glad to fignt Nino Valdes "again if it means we will get a chance at the crown, says Tannas. And Charles nods his head in agreement. Ezzard is in no particular hurry. Anything the managers say is okay with him. DRAMATIZES A POINT It might be said that the Cin cinnati star has the patience of Job. A good example happened In his dressing room the other night just after he had knocked out Colcy Wallace. He was bathed in sweat. I asked him why Wallace didn't stick out his left more often (Wallace had a five and one-half inch reach advantage and the thought was that he could have kept Ezzard off bal ance more easily). Charles considered this care fully for a while then, tired as he was, he cased up out of his chair, stood up, took a crouching stance and started weaving, ex plaining why the left jab wouldn't bother him. After going 10 furious rounds, lhat was the height of patience to start shadow boxing for a reporter. Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore.

Coach Paul Brown, as cautious as he is eager to win, remarks his players "haven't got it until they get it." But there's not i much doubt the improved Browns are in a better position to beat the Detroit Linns this time than they were last year when the Lions dropped them in the cham pionship playoff, 17-7. All the Clevelanders, except linebacker Tommy Thompson, are in good shape phvsicallv.

In their previous meeting, Nov, 23, 1951, explosive Henry knocked out Baker in the eighth round. However, Baker was favored today because Henry has been in active since he was beaten by Archie Moore in June, 1952. Hen-i ry suffered an eye injury in the bout. Moore later became light heavyweight champion. In 35 professional bouts, Ba ker has won 32, had one draw, and scored 17 knockouts. Henry lost but four of 40' bouts.
