about Jay Perrin, 16-year-old tac

TODAY'S GUEST STAR
j J. Dennis Brown, Mount Clem
ens (Mich.) Daily Monitor: "The
number of bowl games dust,
chocolate, dough, high school,
smoke, etc is increasing faster
than Notre Dame s fans last fall.
... . It's reached the point where
all you need is 500 seats, a pub
licity man and a late December
elash to have a bowl' game."
FOOTBALL'S FINAL FLING
. Some of the best tales from
the late lamented football sea
son concern the "fainting full'
back," Raymond (Sugar) Evans
of Odessa, Tex. ... A sugar de
ficiency would cause him to run
completely out of energy during
a game. He d take a concen
trated sugar tablet and then
tart slamming the line as hard
s ever. ... Then there's the
plain fact that Minnesota's
"Swedes" didn't have one full'
blooded Swedish player in the
starting lineup but more Irish
men than Notre Dame's "fight
ing Irish." . . . And Red Strader's
crack when St. Mary's drew only
875 customers but collected
$6000 rain insurance: "This is
the first time we made money
out of secret practice."

73,000 Watch Rams
Clash With Tigers
By MORTIMER KREEGER
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1 (JP)
After a month of taking bumps
on the practice field, posing for
photographers, giving interviews
and autographs and reading a
few hundred thousand words
about themselves, the Sugar
bowl football teams of Fordham
and Missouri had nothing to do
today but play the game.
The clubs came into New Or
leans from their Mississippi gulf
coast training camps, all set to
clash at 11:15 a. m. (PST) before
73,000 spectators, the largest
bowl crowd of the day, since the
Rose bowl was shifted to Dur
ham, N. C. The teams remained
on the coast last night to avoid
the hilarious New Year's eve
celebration here.
Both coaches rated their
squads physically and mentally
ready.
This eighth annual Sugar bowl
game bore promise of being the
most spectacular of all the
series, and every ono has been a
thriller. Never before has the

(U.PJ Bill Redlin of University

with a combined time of one
minute 51 seconds to give his
team a firm hold on first place
in team standings.
Janet Quinny of Utah uni

her victory in the slalom yes

gave her the Mary Cornelia

Jan. 1 (UP) Joe Louis is as un
changing physically as a moun

examined the champion Wednes

58,000 Pack
Stadium for
'42 Classic
By FRANK B. GILBRETK
DURHAM, N. C, Jan. 1 UP)
One of Dixie's largest football
crowds rolled into Duke's horse
shoe stadium today to see a Rose
bowl game played in their own
back yard.
The contest, whisked here
from the west coast because of
war, will be the old story of a
high-geared offense against a
won't-budge defense.
It will match the Dukes of
Durham, who scored 311 points
during their regular season of
nine games against the Beavers
of Oregon State, who yielded
only 33 points in nine games.
The pine-fringed stadium was
sold out 72 hours after the game
was moved to Durham, and
Duke plans somehow to sardine
56,000 paying customers and
2000 deadheads into the 35,000
capacity concrete stands and in
to temporary bleachers.
The solid south has cast a
three-touchdown vote for wily
Wallace Wade, Blue Devil coach
who demonstrated nine times
this season that he can't be
beat when he puts up his Dukes.
Even the betting boys, whose
conclusions are based on some
thing more practical than sec
tional loyalty, have made the
Blue Devils two-touchdown fa
vorites. Oregon State backers, how
ever, weren't singing the blues.
They told all who would listen
that, although their club had
been defeated twice, it had
played in a much tougher
league than had Duke.
Both squads took light work
outs yesterday, and both Wade
and Coach Lon Stlner of Ore
gon State gave the same an
swers to the usual pre game
questions.
MIAMI, Fla.. Jan. 1 (JP)
Georgia's All -America Frankie
Sinkwich matched his flying
fleet and deadly passing arm to
day against one of the nation's
great money teams, Texas Chris
tian university, before a sell-out
crowd in Miami's Orange bowl.
The Youngstown. Ohio, mar
vel, whose running and passing
brought the Bulldogs their best
season in years, had his Work cut
out for him in meeting the
Christians, who scored a late
season upset of mighty Texas.
Interest was high in the pro
spective duel between Sinkwich
and a strong TCU cast headed by
such stars as Kyle Gillespie and
Emery Nix. the sophomore sen
sation who threw the pass that
beat Texas. All the stadium s
35,000 seats were sold days be
fore the game.

Plans Will
Go Ahead
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 1 OP)
Pacific Coast league officials and
club owners 'arc going right
ahead with their 1942 baseball
plans "Just as if there were no
war," President W. C. Tuttle
said today.
He cancelled a meeting sched
uled January 10 to discuss pos
sible effects of the war on the
league.
"We believe that by the time
the baseball season rolls around
the situation will have improved
to such an extent that wo can
operate on a normal basis," Tut
tle added.
"We are ready, of course, to
do anything that the govern
ment wants, anything that may
help. But we think the Japs
will be In the second division
and slipping fast toward the cel
lar by spring. In that event, no
meeting will be necessary and
here's hoping we never have to
hold one prompted by war."
He added that If night base
ball were ruled out, club owners
said they would return to day
light ball exclusively.
