Bowl Teams Emphasize Offensive;
Alabama Top Performer in 34-14
Victory Over Southern California
" Bt Cornelius Ryan
; United Press Sporti Writer
h Renewed emphasis on scoring
with less and less attention to
defense appeared to be in the of
fing for 1948 football fans today
it the results of the New Year s j
Day bowl game can be used as j
a measuring stick. j
' Throughout the west and the !
southland where a record array j
of 13 games was offered for hol
iday fans, there was a parade of j
cleated feet to the goal lines,
and it appeared to be significant ;
that only two teams among the i
26 antagonists failed to score a !
touchdown. I
Bama Tops Program j
: The top team performance
was at Pasadena, Calif., where i
Alabama's Crimson Tide en-'
onlfod Southern Culifornla. 34
to 14, handing the Trojans their
first defeat in nine Rose Bowl
appearances. More than 03,000
fans saw the Pacific Coast elev
en go down to defeat. The Tro
jans were able to score only in
the fourth period after most of
Alabama's first stringers had
been removed.
By far the most outstanding
Individual performance was at
Dallas, Tex., where Home Town
er Bobby Layne thrilled 40,000
Cotton Bowl fans by accounting
for every one of the points the
Texas Longhorns scored In a 40
to S7 victory over Missouri.
Layne made four touchdowns,
threw two touchdown passes,
picked four out of five extra
point that he attempted and
completed 11 out of 12 passes,
nine in a row.
Orange Bowl Thriller
The most thrilling game was
roaerved for the 38,000 Orange
Bowl fans at Miami, Fla., who
saw another home town youth,
Al Hudson, Intercept a Holy
Cross pass in the last 10 seconds
and run 89 yards for the touch
down that gave Miami Univer
sity a 13 to 6 victory.
Two All-America backs en
livened the scene at New Or
leans In the Sugar Bowl where
13,000 fans watched Bob Fenl
more and his Oklahoma A Si M
team mates win a 33 to 13 de
cision over game but out
manned St. Mary's, led by Ha
waiian Herman Wedemeyer.

Hirohito Calls On Japs to Forget
. Divinity Myth; Work for Peace
Tokyo. Jan. 2 (U.R) Emper
or Hirohito repudiated the Shln
tolst belief In his own divinity
today as a "myth," and called
upon the Japanese people to
forget their "master race" Illu
sions and work for the recon
struction of a thoroughly peace
ful Japan.
In his first major Imperial
rescript since the Japanese sur
render, Hirohito urged his peo
ple to accept the fact of their
defeat and to rebuild the nation
along the lines of a constltu
tlonal monarchy as provided for
in the Mcijl Charter of 1868.
No Abdication Hint
His rescript contained no hint
that Hirohito planned to abdi
cate his throne in the Immediate
future, as had been rumored.
Los Angeles Soon
For Flea Bites As
Los Angeles U.R) Scratch
ing citizens heard official warn
ings today that Los Angeles rats
were getting out of hand, but
worried more about the fleas
that are on them.
The news that fleas are in
creasing their families along
with the rats was revealed by a
recognized flea expert of the
west coast, Dr. O. W. Pierce.
The doctor, an entomologist
at the Los Angeles museum,
said complaints were pouring In
from flea-bitten citizens. Soon,
he reflected, Hollywood will be
famous not only for bars,
blondes, and bathing suits but
for flea bites.
Frisco Fleas 'Famous'
"Of course Los Angeles isn't
the only flea city In California,"
Pierce pointed out. "San Fran
cisco fleas are famous.
But fleas in the Golden Gate
city are mostly "beach" fleas,
the doctor explained, as the city
is built on sand. Flea bites are
discussed In the best circles In
San Francisco, the flea expert
added.
"However, our fleas are rat
fleas," he said, "so they're never
mentioned in polite company."
But they're mentioned to the
city health department. Irate
citizens have reported that the
sharp-toothed bugs are hanging
around theaters and streetcars
for sustenance. Some even con
tended the fleas patronize double
features to insure a longer meal.
This livelihood is short, how
ever, for the theaters in the city

Instead, he dedicated himself
to working with the people to
ward a peaceful reconstruction
of Japan and promised that the
government would make every
effort to relieve their present
economic difficulties.
His rescript contained a note
of alarm over the "radical ten
dencies" emerging in Japan
since the end of the war, a hint
that the still-powerful Imperial
house believed the political
swing away from the policies of
the wartime governments might
have gone too far to the left.
He also called -attention to a
