Rose Bowl Underdogs by

' For Game.
Pasadena, Cat., Dec. 30 (U.R)
The Tennessee Volunteers,
who have been watching movies
of Southern California'! Trojans
all week, today discovered they
may be in for some surprises In
the Rose Bowl Monday.
' Coach Jeff Cravath, they
found out, has slipped the Tro
jans a hatful of new plays. His
men spent the day yesterday
running through the new rou
tines, including running and
passing from punt formation.
' The idea, Cravath said, Is to
cut down on ball handling In
caEe just In case the weather
man has slipped up. Cravath's
infallible forecaster is nonethe
less standing by his "clear
weather and fast turf" predic
tion. Quarterback Jim Hardy, who
threw three of SC's touchdown
passes last year, was getting the
ball on most of the new punt
formation plays, and running,
passing or booting according to
the diagram.
' The Trojans went over to the
Rose Bowl for a workout to
day, getting the feel of the big
kaucer before game time. The
volunteers sink their cleats in
to the turf tomorrow for the last
time before the 80,000 seats are
filled. -
Despite Tennessee's rating as
17-polnt underdog, scalpers
were' collecting up to $11 for
ducats originally marketed at
f 4.80. Closing of Santa Anita
racetrack sent a lot of horse
lovers scrambling for New
Year's Day entertainment on
the theory that any kind of a
race is better than none.
The squads were in top shape.
George Callanan, who had been
given a medical okeh on his
own responsibility, decided
against participating when navy
-authorities - told him - they
thought It would be inadvisable.
A seaman 2c, Callanan will be
up for a commission shortly.
Cravath had never figured him
as a starter and was left with
his plans unchanged.

Pete Belcastro, the wild Weed

Promoter Mack Lillard to meet
Jack Kiser, Pacific coast light
heavyweight champion, In the
top main event of Thursdny
night's Medford armory wrest
ling program. Belcastro has been
on the shelf for over a month
because of an injured arm re
ceived in a match, but has been
told by his physician that he
will be ready to go by next
Thursday.
Gust Johnson, coast junior
heavy king, and Terrible Tony
Ross will meet in the semi
windup. They have met twice
before with Ross winning a lone
fall decision in the first en
counter and Johnson awarded
the third fall on a foul in their
second clash. This will be the
"rubber match" and Ross is
more than anxious to dump the
champion to boost his claim for
a main event bout.

' Washington, Dec. 30 (IMS
The off ice of defense transporta
tion today prohibited the ship
ment of race horses and dogs
after 3 p. m., PWT, tonight
without a government permit,
several hours after War Direct
or Byrnes refused to modify his
call for the closing of all tracks
by Jan, 3.
Designed to prevent the ship
ment v of animals outside the
country, the ODT order was
necessary, Chief J. Monroe
Johnson said, because It appear
ed that "a very small minority
are planning to circumvent the
spirit of Justice Byrnes' re-
auest."
The ODT order applied to all
rail or motor lntra-state, inter
state and foreign transportation
It was understood, however, that
the owners will be permitted to
hip their horses and dogs from
tracks to home stables. .

Football Clash Monday.
San Francisco, Dec. 30 (U.R)
It comes up rain and mud for
the Shrine all-star game here
Monday, says the weatherman,
and right away the odds dropped
on the east. . .
The betting men had been giv
ing the east 13 points but
today they had knocked off a
point, which sometimes Is the
same as a touchdown on the
strength that heavy scoring is
out of the question in the rain.
However, come what may,
both teams will be ready with a
diversified attack to meet any
emergency. If there should be a
shift in the rain forecast and the
turf dry, both head coaches,
Andy Kerr of the east and Babe
Hollingbery of the west, are
ready with a "T" attack and
would fill the air with passes.
However, If the expected
soggy field, wet football and "li
quid" air come, there will be
double and single wing forma
tions with lots of bone-cracking
line smashes by some of the
country's finer ball packers.
It passing is a plausible weap
on, then Frank Dancewicz, Notre

17-year-old Wisconsin youth, and

the Dancewicz role for the west,

Wash., would die in a few hours
unless the ship doctor's supply
of fluid was replenished, Navy
authorities ordered out a mercy
plane here, notifying Royal Ca
nadian air force officials of the
trip as a matter of international
form. .
Before the American plane
could take off, the navy said, the
RCAF headquarters in Vancou
ver, B. C, radioed back that
hours could be saved if the bad
weather flight was taken over
by a Canadian Catalina crew
from a base on northern Van
couver island.
Barely 20 minutes before the
ship's doctor used the last of his
intravenous fluid, the navy said
the lumbering Canadian Cata
lina flying boat broke through
the low clouds over the ship. The
vessel hove to in the pounding
seas and the Catalina made three
runs at low altitude, dropping
the medical supplies in sturdy
barrels designed to withstand
the shock of the drop. All three
plummeted into the water with
