BRAVE SNOWSTORM
We happened to be right by
(nore luck than good sense on
the Frost Bowl baseball game
Blayed at Seattle on Christmas
ay. We were wKwimt;
lucky because it , w.N "3
was the first g gflteH
the Seattle pop-1 t I
ulace has seen in 1
hovs reallv did
have to mush
their way
around the
bases.
It was also a
slight frost in
b o x-office re
ceirjts as only
HAINES
about 1000 spectators braved the
weather to watch tlie boys cavort
on the snow-swept diamond.
Just for the record's sake,
the North downed the South.
10-4, behind the pitching of
Clarence Federmeyer.
We are still in a fog, and
likely to remain so, as to just
why this game is played, but
maybe some day the Seattle 3
and 0 club will enlighten us
on this fascinating question.
ODDS CLIMB
With the arrival of the Ohio
State siege-gun. Les Horvath,
the odds continue to climb in
favor of the East to blast the
West in the annual Shrine
game at San Francisco's Ke
aar stadium.
Not since the highly vaunted
Tommy Harmon of Michigan
made the trek to the west coast
has any one player come in for
so much acclaim. But let it be
remembered, laddies, that the
great Harmon was stopped cold
upon that occasion and the west
ern boys won hands down.
We do not think that this
year's crop of western stars is
capable of stopping the Buck
eye block-buster, or Harmon
either for that matter, as the
west squad shows a noticeable
dirth of outstanding players.
But it happened to one great
eastern star, and it could hap
pen to another.

fft&ititr-r
most of their practice session
today to punting and place
kicking. Jim Hardy, field gen
eral and passer de luxe, was in
charge of punting chores, while
Pat West, reserve fullback, was
sharpening up his conversion
toe.
West, who has made 17 of
23 point after - touchdown at
tempts this season, will start
and boot the opening ball if
USC kicks off in the classic.
The Trojans underwent their
last intensive scrimmage yester
day, and Coach Jeff Cravath
promised workouts would taper
off. His squad, with the excep
tion of End Don Hardy, flue
victim, appeared in top shape,
and Hardy is expected to be
ready by game time.
The main reason Cravath is
stressing kicking is Buster
Stephens, Tennessee's rugged
frosh tailback. Stephens has re
turned 23 punts for 274 yards,
and three kickoffs for 141
yards, including one for a
touchdown.
With Stephens and Casy Ste
phenson, wingback. shuttling
on off tackle slants and end
sweeps, the Vols yesterday were
hard at work on their running
game, rated tops in the south
cast. All of their backficld
regulars averaged better than
five yards per try this year.
Stephens, the workhorse, clicked
off a 6.25-yard average in 110
carries.
The Vols also worked on
pass defense. They're up
against Jim Hardy, who has
pitched eight touchdowns while
completing 52 per cent of his
tosses.
Aggies Storm
Into Dallas
For Big Fray
DALLAS. Dec. 28 HP) The
Oklahoma Aggies, 41 strong and
pointing with pride to their best
football record in history, come
to town today the first of the
Cotton Bowl squads to reach the
scene of the New Year's Day
game.
Over at Fort Worth, Texas
Christian's Horned Frogs, host
team in the bowl, will continue
work-outs in their own baili
wick, waiting until the day of
the battle to storm into Dallas.
And as the city prepared to
greet the Aggies, Cotton Bowl
officials exulted over figures that
show they have the top men in
the statistics of all the bowl
games.
They pointed to a report from
the National Collegiate Athletic
bureau in New York that show
ed that Bob Fenimore, the Ag
gies' All-America back, to be the
leader in total offense with 1758
yards in eight games, in rushing
with 897 yards on 162 carries
and in passing with 49 comple
tions out oi u tnrows lor 861
yards and a Dcrcentaoe of .620.
The report also listed Jess Ma
son of Texas Christian the lead
ing punter with an average of
51.94 yards on 16 kicks and Neil
Armstrong, tall Aggie end, to be
the leading pass-receiver with
325 yards on 26 catches.

Georgia Tech
Over Tulsa in
MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 28 0P
Georgia Tech isn't looking for
any bad weather in Miami, but
if by perchance it does happen to
rain on New Year's Day, it will
still throw passes against Tulsa.
"Our running attack isn't up
to par, we'll admit," Assistant
Coach Bobby Dodd said, "but we
don't need it with our passing
and kicking."
Dodd knows it hasn't rained
in Miami on the first day of the
year since the Orange Bowl
games started and refuses to wor
ry about the possibility.
Tech has been established a
favorite at odds of from 7 to 5 to
2 to 1 and it came as glad tid
ings to Tulsa Coach Henry
Frnka.
"I like the odds to be against
us." he said, "the under dog
team always has the best
chance."
Frnka expects the game to be
the best of any of the bowl af-
