New York, Nov. 21 (U.R)-,-;
The New Year's day football

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

mute openly favors Ohio State,
the faculty fathers of the Big
Ten are expected to turn down

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

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."

. Ilext time yoa hear a Southern Pacific train whistle
in the night, think of it as something more than a lonely, haunting sound. It is a reassuring
sound a promise that even while you sleep, the war trains are rolling. It's the confident
voice of an industry that's doing the biggest job in its history, and will be in there pitching
long after the war is over.
Wouldn't you like to know the language of the train whistles? Below we show you:

a short sound, the dash means a longer sound.

next station, which is not a regular stop. If train is stand
ing still, this signal warns that it is about to back up.
One long whistle is sounded a mile before train reaches
stations, railroad crossings, drawbridges, etc.
OOO Signal for brakeman to protect rear of train. Ha
must go down the track with necessary flagman's signals.
OOOB Signal for brakeman to protect front of train.
This signal orders brakeman to return from
the west.
