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

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.

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.

moaned from Los .Angeles.
- - Final Workouts :

familiar to Bowl participants.
Cravath. will start a team of
