Blake must be retained by Kan

The East will go into the fray
a one-touchdown favorite with
a backfield composed of Paul
Hornung, Notre Dame, quarter
back; Abe Woodsone, Illinois,
left half; Terry Barr, Michigan,
right half: and Ray Alberigi,

The West will counter with

Southern California, left half;
Pete O'Garrn. UCLA, right half;

The weather forecast is for
continued clear and warm but
coach Brennan of the East isn't
worried about that. He can't
figure the odds.
Both coaches have announced
their plans.
"We will go mostly for end
runs and a passing game," says
Shaw for the West. "No use in
trying to buck that big East line."
Brennan plans to mix 'em up
more.
"We'll have about 10 plays,
going either to right or left, plus
the pass patterns." says Terry,
the Notre Dame boss.

Clean Sweep
By LEO PETERSEN
United Press Sports Editor
Adelaide, Australia (U.R)
Favored' Australia wrapped up
a clean 5-0 sweep over the United
States in the Davis Cup chal
lenge round today but two rays
of hope appeared for America
the expected loss of Ken Rose
wall and the brilliance of Sam
Giammalva.
Having already clinched the
cup on Thursday, the Aussies
sent twin stars Rosewall and
Lew Hoad out for a sweep today
and they came through in daz
zling style.
First dark-haired Rosewall,
who is expected to announce
Saturday he is turning profes
sional, downed young Giam
malva of Houston, Tex., 4-6, 6-1,
8-6, 7-5 in a hard-fought match,
and then blond Hoad ripped
easily through 33-year-old Vic
Seixas of Philadelphia, 6-2, 7-5,
6-3.
Second Straight Sweep
It was the second win for each
Aussie star in this round, and
the second straight year that the
Aussies beat. America by a per
fect 5-0 score.
But there could be trouble
ahead in 1957 for the Aussies.
The expected loss of Rosewall
to Jack Kramer's touring pro
fessional troupe will be felt,
even though Hoad still will be
around as the world's No. 1 play
er and a number of young
Aussies are ready to help him.
And Giammalva, 22, showed
again in his loss to Rosewall
that he is rapidly becoming a
player of top international abil
ity. Pittsburgh,

Await Fray
By DAWSON OPPENHEIMER
Jacksonville, Fla. (U.R)
Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh
wind up drills today with sim
ilar linal workouts before re
newing Saturday a rivalry that
began almost 40 years ago but
was all but forgotten until the
first day of this year.
The grudge match, labelled as
the "natural" of the year's big
bowl games, should turn out to
be the stiffest defensive test
either team has faced all fall,
with Pitt girding to stop Tech's
speed, while Tech concentrates
on the Panthers' rugged power
and dangerous passing game.
A good night's rest separates
them from the second recent
chapter of a rivalry that began in
1918 when Pittsburgh, under
Pop Warner, trounced the En
gineers, 32-0.
Warner's talented team went
on to make it three in a row
over Tech, but the series ended
in 1920 and never was renewed
until Coaches John Michelosen
and Bobby Dodd led Pitt and
Georgia Tech to the Sugar Bowl
in New Orleans Jan. 1 of this
year. Tech won the renewal 7-0.
Aldo Donelli
Lion Coach
New York (U.R) Little Aldo
(Buff) Donelli, who never ducked
a figlit in his life, today faced
one of his toughest assignments
as the new head football coach at
Columbia university.
Under Lou Little, who was
retired this year after a 27-year
term at Columbia, the one-time
roaring Lions turned into tame
tabby cats as their material de
clined in recent years. Little's
last winning year was 1951 when
Columbia won five and lost
three. Since 1951, the Lions have
posted a dismal 11-33 won and
lost record.
Donelli, on the other hand,
enjoyed marked success with
equally limited material as head
coach at Boston university dur
ing the last 10 years. His Ter
riers won 46 games, lost 36 and
tied four. In 1954, BU posted
an impressive 7-2 record, losing
only to Boston College and Holy
Cross by one-point margins.
SUGAR BOWL SELLOUT
New Orleans, La. (U.R)
Sugar Bowl officials proudly laid
claim today to the "'most attrac
tive" match of all the post-season
football classics, with a sell
out crowd of 80.875 assured for
the Jan. 1 meeting between Ten
