O o o o Bruins Will Have To Rise To Great Heights in Bowl (This it the sixl of a series on learns in the bowl football games.) G By ALEX KAHN Los Angeles (U.R) UCLA's national championship football team of 1954 was the best in the school's history but Coach Hen ry (Red) Sanders, today said this year's Rose Bowl squad in some Respects is even better. "Call it will, faith, spirit this team has a desire that is mag nificent." Sanders said. "Aside from the one game we lost to Maryland, our squad has been able to cope with the odds when they were against us." And that's the situation UCLA probably will face when it meets favored Michigan State in the Rose Bowl. The team will have to rise to a greater peak than .p;i 1 i ism 1 llCAMniniiiiwirrMtfT Xi&' 2- - $4?5 $980 -a1 cirru a put Pcirru STRAIGHT BOURBON WWSKEY 90.4 PROOF THE AMERICAN DISTILLING CO., INC NEW YORK PEKIN, IU. SAN FRANCISCO I ever before if it hopes to score an upset. UCLA will be making its 4th appearance in the Rose Bowl without having won the New Year's classic once. The last time the Bruins went to nearby Pas adena for the post-season ap pearance was two years ago. Although UCLA shot into an early lead, the Spartans of Michigan State overcame the lead in the second half as they refused to let themselves get beat. It was a game the Spar tans wanted to win for Biggie Munn who was retiring as head coach. Victim of Fate The West generally felt that UCLA was a victim of late last year when the one appearance in two years rule kept the strongest team ever" fielded by the Bruins from going to the Rose Bowl. The strength of the 1954 squad was in its line which was at least two deep at every position with men of All-America or All- Coast caliber. This year's line was mainly the second string of last year. But the current squad isn't backed up by a second line almost as good as the starters. Sanders, however, says his backfield this year is superior to last year's although the per sonnel isn't much different. The same players have improved un til they were almost not recognizable. Tailback Sam Brown is the rushing leader of the Pacific Coast conference with a net of 829 yards and an average of 6.4 yards per carry. Called Best Runner Sanders calls Brown the best runner he ever had at the key tailback spot in his single wing offense. But Brown credits full back Bob Davenport with clear ing the way. Joining these two is wingback Jim Decker whose reverses have averaged almost five yards a play. The fourth member is blocking quarterback Bob Bergdahl. Should Ronnie Knox be able to play even to a limited degree, his passing would add just the touch of deception Sanders needs if he hopes to beat the Spartans. Knox has recovered from an ankle break but is far behind in work and may be off form when the teams meet. The 1954 team won by grind ing opponents to bits and didn't need a superior backfield. This Yellow Cab Tipped 75-64 By Prospect Prospect The Prospect bas ketball team, leader in the Med ford Independent Basketball League, handed Yellow Cab of Medford a 75 to 64 setback here on Monday night.

Jordan, chairman of the 250th anniversary committee of the Franklin Institute, Philadel phia, informed the Library of Congress that organizations in 40 different countries already have reported their plans to honor Franklin, and the list steadily expands- .This interest, he said, "repre sents an amazingly splendid example of international co operation."

But Franklin's memory has a peculiar personal appeal to many nations because of his skill in communicating, printing and publishing, as well as creat ing, great ideas. He has become a sort of apostle for the editorial profession, the printing crafts and the paper industry. . Wherever newspapers are printed, there is magic in his! name. . At Washington, events in Con gress, the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institution will render tribute to Franklin's versatile and universal genius. - The Library of Congress has an immense collection of his di plomatic papers and will open an exhibit Jan. 17. The U.S. gov ernment, purchased about 2,500 Franklin items from a London book dealer in 1882, and they were in the custody of the De partment of State until they came to the Library in 1903. The Smithsonian will display a printing press used by Frank lin in Philadelphia. Medals lo Be Struck Congress already has given evidence of its extraordinary in terest in the anniversary. At its last session it enacted a bill di recting the Secretary of the Treasury to strike 71 . bronze medals to commemorate the oc casion. Twenty-one of these medals will be given to the various sci entific, artistic and learned so cieties are found in the United member. These still-existent so cieties are found ni the United States, England, Scotland, France, Germany, Holland, Italy and Spain. The remaining 50 medals will be given to 50 other institutions and enterprises which were founded or helped in their early development by Franklin. Franklin's achievements ex tended into almost every field of human endeavor, and the honors accorded to him will vary with the country. In France, for ex ample, he will be honored as "the great savant"; in Peru for his liberty-loving philosophy which influenced American in dependence movements; in Ja pan for his efforts toward inter national understanding and peace, and in India for his devo tion to the interdependence of nations and the unity of religions.
