o o o College Year Br FRANK LITSKY The college football bowl sea son hits its stride next week with four games topped by the Gator Bowl battle between Tex as A&M and Tennessee. The Gator Eowl game will mark Paul (Bear) Bryant's fare well to Texas A&M. Before he leaves two days later to take over as head coach at Alabama. His Aggie team (8-2; this year) features player-cf-the-year John Crow at halfback, Charlie Krue ger at tackle and a 15-pound-per-man advantage in the line. But the Aggies also are shy on reserves and lost the last two games of the season because their grinding ground game had left their iron men too tired. Tennessee, 7-3 this season but 3-7 in previous Eowl appear ances, operates out of a tradi tional single-wing. Tailback Bobby Gordon, the key man, is a fine runner, fair passer and superb punter. Tennessee used the punt especially a quick kick as an offensive weapon. Its backs are seasoned and its line especially adept at blocking. Five members of the United Press All-America team will play for the East in the San Francisco Shrine game. They are halfback Walt Kowalczyk ot Michigan State, ends Jimmy Phillips of Auburn and Jim Gib bons of Iowa and tackles Alex Karras of Iowa and Lou Mich aels of Kentucky. While East Coach Rip Engle of Penn State probably will stick to the ground. West coach Jack Curtice of Utah readily concedes he will use a wide-open passing attack. His quarterbacks, all good passers, are Jack Douglas of Stanford, Tom Flores of Col lege of Pacific and Joe Francis, who played tailback in Oregon State's single-wing offense. Latest odds for the major Bowl games on New Year's day show Ohio State favored over Oregon by 19 points in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena, Calif.; Okla homa over Duke by 10 in the Or ange Bowl at Miami; Navy over Kice by one point in the Cotton Bowl at Dallas; and Mississippi over Texas by one point in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans.

The dis patches will cover the teams in the Gator. Orange, Rose, Sugar and Cotton bowls.) By LLOYD LARRABEE Austin. Tex. HP Coach Darrell Royal singled out Mis sissippi speed today as the big gest hurdle his rejuvenated "make-the-breaks" Texas Long horns will face in the Sugar Bowl New Year's Day. "They have a real fine, all round attack, and they have as much team speed as any team we've faced," said the former Oklahoma star who brought Texas' football fortunes out of the depths in one season. Royal, in his first season at Texas, guided the - sophomore laden Longhorns to a 6-3-1 rec ord and a second-place finish in the Southwest conference, af ter a dismal 1956 mark of 1-9, worst in history. The youthful coach achieved sophomore backs, bolstered by a senior line, the old-fashioned fundamentals of hard blocking and tackling, and Royal's forte the quick kick. Eleven sophomores are rep resented on the first two teams, and six of them quarterback Bobby Lackey, halfbacks George Blanch, Max Alvis, and Rene Ramirez and fullbacks Mike Dowdle and Don Allen share much of the credit for the team showing. A senior quarterback, Walter Fondren, lent versatility and ex perience to the predominantly sophomore backfield. In Texas' 9-7 upset of Texas A&M, Fondren put the Aggies in a hole with a 62-yard quick kick to the four.
