TTnltflH Prnsia fnrrsnnnripnt ' New York, Nov. 21 (U.R)-,-; The New Year's day football bowl game people are getting ready to send out the R.S.V.P. invitations to their annual socia bles and the country-wide grid ion guessing contest as to who will go and who will have to stay at home is well underway. A lot depends upon what may happen this week-end, but as of no wit appears that a January 1 lineup of opponents something similar to this may not be far amiss: Rose Bowl, Pasadena, Calif. Southern California vs Georgia Tech or Duke. Cotton Bowl Dallas, Tex. Texas Christian vs Oklahoma A. & M. or Iowa State. Sugar .Bowl, New Orleans Georgia Tech or Duke vs Ala bama or Tennessee. Orange Bowl, Miami Wake Forest vs Tulsa. " Oil Bowl, Houston, Tex. Rice vs Oklahoma. Sun Bowl. El Paso, Tex. Randolph Field Fliers vs Second Air Force Superbombers. Although the Rose Bowl com mute openly favors Ohio State, the faculty fathers of the Big Ten are expected to turn down 1 1 i HOPPE LEADS IN a proposal to lift the ban on post season games at a meeting this week-end. Moreover, Michigan's Wolverines are lurking just around the corner and if they hand the Buckeyes their first beating the Rose Bowl boom probably will collapse. Southern California, tied twice but not defeated, has a big edge for the Rose Bowl, although U.C.L.A. could complicate mat ters by upsetting the Trojan eleven in their second meeting Saturday, The first game ended in a tie and since their confer ence records are about equal. U.C.L.A. might get the nod byl winning. The Cotton Bowl is committed to the Southwest Conference champion as the host eleven and Texas Christian, without a loss, is far out in front since all other teams have been beaten twice. Dan Rogers, head of the selec tion committee at Dallas, said that Oklahoma A. & M. was first choice as the guest team. - The situation is wide open at New Orleans, with Georgia Tech expected to be top choice if it beats Notre Dame Saturday, although Southern California also has expressed a preference for the Engineers as an opponent. Chicago, Nov. 21 U.R) Vet eran Willie Hoppe, who has been winning billiard matches since he was 18, today held a 98-polnt lead over Challenger Welker Cochran in the world's three-cushion billiard champion ship tournament after taking last night's block 50-47.

Dempaey Believes Father Time Chief Foe For Champion Chicago, Nov. 21 U.R) Cmdr. Jack Dempsey of the coastguard, former world's heavyweight champion, believes the deadliest challenger Sgt. Joe Louis will have to face after the war Is Father Time. Dempsey, here for a buy-a-bond program, said yesterday that time is always the toughest opponent when a champion lays off and two more years in the army for the brown bomber would leave him far off the championship form that Is needed in the heavyweight ranks. "Army life doesn't help a fighter," Dempsey said. "Louis no doubt will return to the ring after the war, but if he has to wait two or more years a second or third-rater may be able to stop him." When asked if he could have beaten Louis when he, himself, was in his prime, Dempsey re plied, "Confidence is one of the chief possessions of a champion. I think I could have licked any one, and the same must go. for Louis or Gene Tunney or any other titleholder. Besides, a fight wtth Louis would have made us both a lot of money." .
