t SixJBowl Games, Shrine SUGAR BOWL FRAY y LONE EVEN MONEY CLASH ON SLATE Georgia Tech and Tulsa Rated on Par Huskies 3-1 Favorite Over USC. By Carl Lundquisi (United Press Correspondent) New York, Dec. 31. (U.R) Seven New Year's day football games, a record number in spite of the war, are on the docket tomorrow. Though there may be some dissent, the consensus is that the best game will be at the Eugar Bowl in New Orleans where the Tulsa Hurricane rates at even money to defeat a Georgia Tech eleven which was a 7 to 3 favorite until days ago. A crowd of 73,000 fans was ex pected. The University of Washing ton Huskies, who haven't play ed a game in nine weeks were 3V4 to one favorites to break the perfect Rose Bowl record of tte Southern California Trojans before 90,000 odd fans at Pasa dena, Calif. The Huskies have failed three times in the Rose Bowl, while the Trojans have won all six of their New Year's 1 day games. i A surprising feature was the to 1 favorites' rating earned by the Texas Longhorns to win the Cotton Bowl game at Dallas from Randolph Field's "West Point of the Air" team before more than 30,000. Randolph lost only one game in 10 starts. Texas won seven and lost one this season. Aggies Liked ' : Texas A & M and Louisiana State, all-civilian elevens, who played an earlier game in the fall, were expected to attract nearly 30,000 fuis at Miami's ' Orange Bowl, with the Aggies 12 to 5 favorites to repeat their earlier victory. The latest bowl promotion the Oil Bowl, at Houston, Tex., matches Southwest Louisiana iinhoatan hut 41a4 acvainet A rlr Akansas A St M with one defeat yrend one tie on its record. The ; Louisiana squad rated better than 2 to 1 to win before a crowd of 30,000. As usual, the. host team was we underdog in the 1 Paso, Tex., Sun Bowl where 20,000 tans were expected to see South' western of Texas defeat New Mexico university's Border conference champions. New Mexico was a 3 to 1 underdog. : ; The West squad, which usu ally wins the annual Shrine game at San Francisco in an underdog role, ranked as a 2 to 1 favorite to defeat the visi tors from eastern colleges - this year, mainly because it was bolstered bv nlavers from the ECONOMICAL 300 CUBIC FT. LOAD DIAL 2123 TIMBERP For Zestful Health Through 1944 B HE IS LEY'S SNIDER DAIRY Cuddy Picks Huskies, West; Says Sugar Bowl Toughest By Jack Cuddy United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Dec. 31 (U.B As the Athletes relaxed today, await ing the kick-offs in tomorrow's seven Bowl games, we buckled down to the business of picking the winners. Mentally fatigued and drenched with perspiration, we came up with the following list, which we hope is not a "mourning" line: Rose Bowl Washington over Southern California Sugar Bowl Tulsa over Geor gia Tech. Cotton Bowl Randolph Field over Texas. Orange Bowl Texas A. and M. over Louislna Strte. Oil Bowl Southern Louisiana Institute over Arkansas Aggies. Sun Bowl Southern Texas over New Mexico. Shrine game West over East. The Sugar Bowl classic stands out as the toughest and best game of the day. Advices from New Orleans indicate that bet ting on this one is at even money. And it should be. However, most of the eastern experts are picking Georgia Tech. We must disagree with them and select Tulsa's Hurricanes, which we be lieve have more potential power, although Tech, as usual, is tricky and polished. For the Rose Bowl tilt at Pas adena, Calif., we like Washing ton's Huskies, although they have played only four times and two of those contests were against the same Spokane air outfit. In those four encounters the Huskies. rolled up ISO points against 32 for the opposition, and were strong enough to wallop March Field, 27-7, the same gang of fliers who smacked Southern Cal. 35-0, The Cotton Bowl game at Dal las, Tex., should be a beaut. We pick the Randolph Field fliers over the Texas Longhorns, in face of the 2-1 odds favoring Texas. We believe galloping uien dodos, tormer Tulsa Ace, will give the fliers an offensive edge that will turn the trick, FOR BABE PHELPS Philadelphia, Dec. 31. (U.R) First Baseman Ellsworth (Ba6e) Dahlgren, going to his eighth major league team, became the property of the Pittsburgh Pir ates today in a trade which sent Catcher Ernie (Babe) Phelps to the Philadelphia Phillies. The oft-traded Dahlgren, whose .288 average led the Phils in batting last season, will replace Elbte Fletcher, now in the navy. The Pirates gave up an unannounced amount of cash to swing the deal. Fourth Air Force at March Field, Calif. A crowd of 65,000 was expected to see the annual charity contest. HEAT! GREEN DIAL 2123 Company & PRODUCE CO. SLABS MEDFORD MAIL IE OPEN PLAY SEEN FOR SHRINE CLASH SATURDAY San Francisco, Dec.. 31. (U.R) A duel between two freshman backfield stars Bob Hoernsche meyer of Indiana and Herman Wedemeyer of St. Mary's college should provide a wide open east-west Shrine game tomorrow before 65,000 at Kezar stadium, in the tradition of 18 previous all star classics. The Indiana yearling and his Ail-American teammate, End Pete Pihos, are expected to con tinue the aerial offensive that gained them fame in Big Ten play, providing the offensive spark of Coach Andy Kerr's East squad. Elusive, broken field ace We demeyer, the Hawaiian-Chinese sensation of the St. Mary's Gal loping Gaels, was a western fa vorite to provide running thrills in keeping with the history of the annual charity classic, play ed for the benefit - of the Shrlners' hospital for crippled children. ... Odds were still 2-1 that the West, bolstered with .seven ser vice team stars, would defeat the East, but observers' pointed out Kerr s easterners had a better balanced squad, less affected by injuries and practice absences. Coaches Babe Holllngbery and Buck Shaw of the West ran into a last minute snag when Floyd Rhea, . University of Oregon guard, was withdrawn from the team after it was disclosed he had participated in two profes sional games with the Chicago Cardinals last summer. The misunderstanding shot John Parker of University of San Francisco, last man named to the western team, into a start ing position. Clyde Flowers, Texas Christian tackle, will back up Parker. Boyd Clement. Oregon State quarterback, was believed ready to play after missing practices because of an injury, but George Bettridge, University of Utah fullback, was definitely lost to the West after being hospitalized wiyi a kidney ailment. E YANKEE OF 1942 New York, Dec. 31 (U.R) Commissioning of Outfielder Charley (King Kong) Keller as an ensign in the maritime serv ice today left Catcher Bill Dickey as the only member of the New York Yankee team which faced the St. Louis Card inals in the first game of the 1942 World Series. First Baseman Buddy Has- sett. Shortstop Phil Rizzuto, Pitcher Charles Ruffing and Outfielders Joe DiMagglo and Tommy Henrich previously had joined or been inducted into the armed services. Second Base man Joe Gordon has announced that he will join up before the 1944 season opens, while Third Baseman Red Rolfe has retired Closing time for Sunday Too Late I Plecae remember. MEDFORD 5 TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 81, 1943 Tilt on 65,000 EXPECTED FOR TROY-HUSKY ROSE BOWL TILT Low Mist' Bothers Coaches . . of Both Teams Robin - son to Lead Washington. .

Cravath. will start a team of Gordon Gray, and Jim Callanan at ends; John Ferraro and Ted Ossowskl at tackles; Dick Jami son and Capt.

(U.R) Coach Howard Hobson of the University of Oregon today was attempting to revise the Webfoot hoop lineup for his 18 game northern division season following the loss of three of his 17-member basketball squad.
