Circus Acrobatics, Stress on Offensive
Seen Hallmark of This Year's Bowl Tilts
By JACK GUENTHER
NEW YORK, Dec. 9 (UP The absence of a standout betting
favorite, an unusually heavy accent on offensive maneuvers and
break away scoring plays, and enough spectacular aerial unties
to satisfy the manager of circus troupe that's the long range
forecast for the 1942 bowl games.
For while the New Years doy program may suffer slightly
from an almost unanimous lack of undefeated teams, it shapes
up as one of the most spectacu
lar bills ever offered to the post
season fans. Never before have
the bowls brought together so
mony high scorers or promised
so much football of the thrills
and chills variety.
Thumb-Nail
A survey of tha eight squads
scheduled to pair off in the hol
iday contests discloses that to
gether they have omossed 1726
points In 73 games to 433 for
the opposition. The averoge per
game breaks down to 24-6 and
the obvious conclusion Is that
In all four games it should take
more than two touchdowns to
win.
Here are thumb-nail sketches
of the records:

T1K CORPS MEET
FORT LEWIS, Dee. 0 (IP)
Amazed tank officers discov
ered Friday there was at least
one branch of the service that
had no fear whatsoever for tha
horrendous, fira spitting, me
chanical monsters.
In a prearranged attack at
dawn, a tank group swooped
upon a' long column of mules,
peacefully headed for the hills
with guns of the 98th mule
pack artillery strapped to their
backs.
The tanks roared their mo
tors, screeched their sirens,
fired blanks and dug into tho
turf as they cut In and out of
the column. But the mules
marched peacefully onward.
When one of the tanks of the
732nd tank battalion became a
little too irritating, a mule load
ed with 300 pounds of gun
parts started an offensive of
its own and the clanking of
metal resounded as mule shoes
met tank.
It really was a surpris.
said Lieut. Col. David L. Ruff.
ner, commander of the 68th.
"I expected the animals to run
in all directions. They just
seemed bored with the noise.
Col. Ruffner admitted the
mules would be at a great dis
advantage had the tanks been
firing real ammunition be
cause a marching column of
mountain pack artillery has
practically no defense against
a tank attack.
