v..New York, Dec. 29 (IB The new
sports year will be ushered
Monday with some 316,000 fans
attending six "bowl" games. Be
cause of the tremendous national
interest in these football contests,
we have taxed the cerebellum and
cerebrum no end in attempting
to pick the winners resorting to
Navaho sand readings, Harlem
dream books. Gypsy tea leaves,
worm-eaten Ouija boards, cracked
crvstal balls, and even statistics,
f After this unprecedented mental
effort, we wound up with the
following pigskin prognostica
tions:
Rose bowl Pasadena, Calif.:
Southern Cal. over Tennessee.
Orange bowl, . Miami, Fla.
Georgia Tech. over Tulsa.
Sugar bowl, New Orleans
Duke over Alabama.
Cotton bowl, Dallas, Tex.
Oklahoma Aggies over Texas
Christian.
Sun bowl. El Paso, Tex.
Southwestern Texas over Mexico.
Shrine game, San Francisco-
East over West.
Bess on Slate -.
; The Miami Orange encounter
shapes up as the best game on
the slate. This brawl between Bill
Alexander's Engineers ol Georgia
Tech. and Henry Frnka's Golden
Hurricane from Tulsa smacks ot
a re-match between the last bowl
clash at New Orleans in which
Georgia Tech. edged. Tulsa, 20-18.
Tech.. surprise ' conqueror1 : of
Navy, is favored because of its
trround and air strength during a
demonstration of combined
tough schedule. But Tulsa has
plenty of backing because of the
passing prowess ol Perry Moss,
and its formidible running attack,
spearheaded by Camp Wilson.
' From the Pasadena Rose bowl,
the southern California Trojans
are heavily favored over Tennes
see's Volunteers, because the, Tro
jans showed almost ; pre-war
strength in late-season play, They
wolloped California and U. C L.
A. by lop-sided scores, gaining re
venge for earlier ties with the
Bears and Uclans. They beat two
service clubs, St. Mary's Pre-flight
a'nd San Diego Navali' Tennessee,
Which didn't play last year, 'had a
surprisingly good season, with
only a scoreless tie with Ala
bama against its record. But
competition in the southeastern
conference was considerably be
low par this year.
Auriries Favored
The Oklahoma Aggies are fav
ored to beat Texas Christian In
the Cotton bowl at Dallas largely
on the basis ot their superior
showing against four mutual op-
nonents this season Texas, Texas
Tech., Arkansas and Oklahoma.
The Aggies beat all four: but the
Homed Frogs were tied by Ar
kansas and beaten by Oklahoma.
This should be a Iree-scoring
game In which Bob Fenlmore and
John Hadaway will do much pas
sing for Oklahoma and T. C. U.,
respectively. ,
Duke, probably the strongest
team in Dixie, is preferred over
Alabama because Tom Davis,
John Krisza, George Clark and
Gordon Carver combine for such a
formidable running attack; and
Carver does well with the aerials.
Alabama has a statistical edge,
but it was gained against much
weaker opposition.
For the Sun bowl at El Paso,
Southwestern is preferred over
the team from Mexico U because
the Mexicans wIM be dropping
down about 6,000 feet in altitude
for the contest, a big handicap.
Meanwhile, for the Shrine con
test at San Francisco, Andy Kerr's
Easterners are favored ov the
West team because of their ap
parently superior backficld which
incidentally includes Les Horvath
of Ohio State.

Pasadena, Cal., Dec. 29 (IB
Odds on Southern California over
Tennessee in the. rose-bowl, which,
had dropped briefly from 19
points to 15, bounced back to 17'
today when the bookies found
themselves up to their ears in
Trojan money.
The local enthusiasts grew
nervous when Tennessee Coach.
John Barnhill closed the gates on
his workouts and went: into a

Paris, Dec. 29 Mi Cpl. Billy
Conn, who thought for awhile
that the first time he saw Paris
would also be the last time, swore
today that he would take the "on
slaught of Sgt. Joe Louis' lethal
lists In a world chamuioriBhii)
bout on any given occasion In pre-
lorence to another airplane ride,
"anywhere or anytime."
Conn, who had a harrowing ex
perience aloft in a C-47 transport
plane, said that nothing had ever
happened In the ring to scare him
as much as on the flight from a
trench base to Paris.
The Pittsburgh, Pa., boxer ar
rived yesterday with a party of
ti. 1. boxers, who have been in
tile European theater with Ameri
can troops. His landing at thi
airport was a never-to-be forgot
ten experience.
"We had Just taken off for Paris
when we discovered the ground
crew had forgotten to remove the
blocks from the tailwing elevators
ol our transport," Conn said. "We
knew we could go up or down, but
we wouldn't be able to level off
to land. 1 was scared like I had
hover been in the ring."
VoIuiiUmtk SouKht
Conn said that the pilot even
tried having the blocks knocked
out with an axe, "but it was no
dice."
"Finally, after we circled the
airport for three hours talking
with the signal tower, the pilot
called four volunteers and told the
rest of the 21 passengers to strap
themselves tight and cover their
heads with cushions, he said.
' The idea was to nose down
and then we four volunteers
would sprint back to the rear of
the plane, hoping to bring the tall
down.
Conn said that the first attempt
to land was a failure because the
plane was "diving like a stone."
"The next time we went on
down and hit the field at 150
miles per hour. If we had struck
the slightest bump we would have
overturned for sure and that
would have been the end of this
heavyweight encounter."

Browns' Stephens
Gets New Honors
New York, Dec. 29 (IP) Vern
Stephens, the "holler guyV in the
champion St. Louis Browns' in
field, provided not only the de
fensive inspiration which carried
his team to its first league pen
nant, but was a powerful offen
sive threat as well, leading the
league in the ail-important runs-
batted-in department with 109, ac
cording to official figures released
today.
The Browns' sparkplug was one
of four two more than last year
American league players to
equal the 100 or more mark in
runs driven in. Bob Johnson of the
Boston Red Sox was second with
106, Johnny Lindell of the New
York Yankees belted 103 across
the plate and Stan -Spence- of
Washington drove in an even 100.

Medics Defeated
By Oregon Quintet
Portland, Ore., Dec. 29 mi The
University of Oregon basketball
team plastered a 49 to 39 defeat
on the University of Oregon MpiI
icnl school quintet here last night
In a game which featured the
playing of Jim Zimmerman, for
mer Washington Stale college
star, who scored 20 points for the
Medical school five.
The Webfeei went into an early
lead and were never headed, lead
ing by 28 to 23 at the halitimc.
In the second half. Coach John
Warren used his reserves- liber
ally. High scorer for Oregon was
Bob Hamilton, who tossed in 14
Trojans worked on defense.
Although Tennessees passing
record for the season shows only
15 completions out of 55 attempts,
uravatn nammered ms second
team all day with balls from the
other side of the line and pounded
away at pass detection.
in Top bliapo
Big John Pehar and Ferraro,
who between them account for
roughly 550 pounds of beef at the
tackles, were in top shape. Pe
har's ankle, turned early in the
week, was working without tape.
Trojan boosters claimed a look
at some statistics released today
give the backficld a better shake
than most of the experts had figured.
Although Buster Stephens, the
great volunteer freshman pros
pect from Knoxville, has gained
about twice as many yards this
year as any one Trojan back, he
had to carry the ball more than
a hundred times to do it. His av
erage of 6.25 yards a try doesn't
make Bob Morris' 6.21 look too
bad, Southern Cal fans maintain.
The Trojan boosters stop there,
though because everybody else in
the Tennessee backficld averaged
against the powerful Fee's Music
Makers quintet which administer
ed the only pre-season defeat to
the Orangemen.
Coach A. T. (Slats) Gill named
the following players as members
of the traveling squad: forwards,
George Sertic, Ted Henningsen,
Dick Strait and Ed Staggr center.
Hall Puddy; guards, Bernie Mc-
Grath, Jack Simms, Bob Labhart,
John Moore and Larry West .
