Weather Is Fair
For Annual Game
In Rose Stadium
By William C. Payette
(United Pres Staff Correspondent) .
Pasadena, Cal.,' Jan. 1 (iPiTen
nessee went into the Rose bowl
today on the short end ol the long
est odds in years amid predictions
that Southern California will turn
the top game of the day into the
bowl's greatest rout before 91,000
fans.
The odds stood at 17 points,
about three touchdowns. The
weather was fair and the turf
dry ideal for the Trojans' fast
passing and running attack out
of the "T" formation.
Even Coach John Barnhill was
gloomy about his team's chances.
Reminded qf the great psycholog
ical advantage they hold as under
dogs out to avenge a Tennessee
defeat here five years ago, he
sallied:
"Well, maybe. But you can't put
a uniform on psychology."
Jeff Cravath, the Trojan men
tor, was upset by the long odds.
"If we deserve to be favored,"
he said, "it certainly isn't by any
such outlandish margin. The
southerners are tough and our
backfielu is green."
Stanford Beaten
Cravath recalled that the worst
" licking ever recorded in the bowl
was back in 1902, when Michigan
kicked the socks off Stanford,
49-0. "That's a lot of points," he
said, "and that's crazy talk."
The worst beating Southern Cal
ifornia ever passed out in the
bowl was in 1930, when Pitts
burgh came out to absorb a 47-14
lacing. The Trojans made 28 of
their points in the last half.
Outweighed 16 pounds to the
man in the line, the Volunteers
were counting on fleet-footed Bus
Stephens and an assortment of
passes which haven't worked too
well most of the season.
And the Tennessee backers
weren't forgetting that their buck
field averaged better than five
yards a try in packing tho ball,
with Stephens lugging 631 yards
In 101 tries.
Rangers Victors,
Take West Title
San Diogo, Cal., Jan. 1 Ml The
Hollywood Rangers today ruled
as far west professional football
champions after administering a
21 to 10 beating to the San Diego
Bombers, Pacific coast league
champions, the second in as many
weeks, Sunday.
Tho Rangers, American league
champs, encountered much more
trouble in their second meeting
with the Bombers, being forced to
stage a two touchdown rally in
the final period to win.
The Bombers got off to a lead In
the second period when Tink Oh
borne booted the ball through the
uprights from the 2U-yard line for
three points. They made It 10
points when Whitney Green block
ed a punt and Hal Karnes curried
It over from the one-yard line.
Eaiie Parsons then ran 55 yards
for a score to put the Rangers
- back in tho game.
After a scoreless third period,
Boh Winslow put tho Rangers out
in front scoring on a quarterback
sneak from the five-yard line and
Parson flashed 20 yards for the
third touchdown, following a
blocked punt. Ted Pavelec con
verted all three times for the
Rangers, Al Illgglns for the
Bombers.

GIVE 'EM WHAT THEY WANT
Today's Sport Parade
By .luck Cuddy
(United i'rou Staff Uorreanondent)
New York, Jan. 1 U'i--Amer-ica's
sporting public, an irrepres
sible lot, gets what may be its
last big chance in a long while to
blow off steam today in the an
nual program of New Year's day
football games, but. the bulk of
the fans are peering optimistically
into 1945 and the general feeling
is that they'll be doing business
at the same old grandstands.
Barring official government sen
timent against the conduct of
malor professional sports, prac
tically every branch should be
able to carry on except horse rac
ing. Quality may suffer further
deterioration, but competition, the
clement that has kept war time
sports alive since Pearl Harbor,
will keep the turnstiles spinning
again.
Although there still Is uncer
tainty regarding major league
baseball, a United Press survey
showed that all clubs had enough
talent to curry on and that Is the
intention at present. For the min
ors it may bo a different story, Al
though no circuit had indicated
that there Is a move on fool to
quit now. fl
An unprecedented situation may
develop In racing with tho crop
of three-year-old thoroughbreds,
who automatically observed their
turf birthdays todi y, likely to be
come the "forgotten horses" of
the race world. Whether there Is
another Wblrlaway, Twilight
Tear, Twenty Crand or Man
O'War among tho two year olds of
last season is something that
never may be determined. Race
horses improve by campaigning
and since none can be shipped to
Mexican or Cuban tracks, they
may not be able to recover from
the long peaceful months In lush
pastures.
And unless there is a complete
reversal of the ban on racing,
there will be no Kentucky derby,
no Preakness, or no Belmont
stakes.
The outlook is brighter In the
amateur realm where 'teen-aged
collegians can carry through ca
pably with help from bonafide
4-F"s to complete a successful
basketball season and another
year of "boy-powered" football, a
type which struck the public fan
cy all over the nation.
Boxing, which has completed
Its most prosperous Indoor season
In history, has managed without
Its top flight stars In the services,
Joe l.ouis, Billy Conn, Tony Zale,
C.us Lesnevich, and Melip Bettlna.
More than 4,000 professional box
ers, a record number, appeared in
programs during the past year
and the trend should be for more
of the same.
Hockey Is certain to survive
tho. tightened manpower restric
tions since there are only two
Americans subject to military
draft In the entire National league
circuit, while In the American
league, the top minor loop, the
rosters also are laden with Cana
dlens, 4 I'"s and overage players.
If Guilder Hagg, the swift
Swede can mako plane connec
tions to fulfill his commitments
on American Indoor tracks, that
sport should boom and even If he
doesn't appear. Parson Gil Pndds,
the indoor world mile record hold
er should pack them in. There also
appears to he a sufficiency of ama
teur talent in the other track and
field events for both indoor and
outdoor meets.
been somewhat noted for their
running abilities. The medical
cchool team is composed of serv
icemen who play only on limited
occasion fought for the breaks
and led all the way.
Chuck and Don Brown turned
in good performances for the
Medics, each scoring nine and 12
points respectively. Jack Simms.
Beaver guard, was high point man
for his team with six points.
