(UP) Georgia Tech Coach Bobby Dodd, trying (or an unprecedented filth straight bowl championship, may take Sugar Bowl (ana back to days ol the old "Tennessee waiting game" when his Engineers meet power (ul Pittsburgh In New Orleans. Dodd, who (irst won his fame as a master of razzle-dazale, has slowly converted to the conserva tive style he learned as a player under Gen. Robert Neyland back at Tennessee, and (ans who have watched Georgia Tech agree that Dodd can make It work Just like the old master himself. The "waiting game" has paid off to the tune of eight wins, a loss and a tie for Tech, and Coach Dodd's charges are favored to hike that mark to 8-1-1 against Pitts burgh Jan. 2. UNEXPECTED , But the fact that Tech has played the "waiting game" all season Is hardly a guarantee that Pitt will Russell, USF Top Warriors By ED Wll.KS The Associated Press Memo to Marquette coach Jack Nagle: If you're going to ambush some body, pal, don't send 'em an en graved Invitation. Nagle, who Jumped into national collegia! prominence last season with the Warriors, didn't leave much to the Imagination as he in dicated he thought his boys were a match (or San Francisco and All-America Bill Russell. He al lowed as how the Warriors, if they could give the 6-10 Russell a go under the boards, might spring an upset when the Dons carried their 39-game winning streak and No. 1 ranking into the DePaul tournament at the Chicago Stadi um. Marquette almost pulled it off last night. But in the end, it was San Francisco by 65.58. Russell was the Sant guy he had It in the bag. There was an upset at the Sta dium, but host DePaul pulled It off, knocking over previously unbeaten and sixth-ranked Duquesne 68-64. The Blue Demons, who lost to Ken tucky by one point at week's start, dumped in 10 of 12 free throw attempts In the final 4 min utes. San Francisco qualified (or the "title" game of the tourney against DePaul as the Dons opened their eastern tour with a second-half surge led by Russell. Duquesne, despite Si Green's 22 points, couldn't pass DePaul al though thrice catching the Dem ons Ui the second half. DePaul, now 4-2, put down the Dukes' final bid with 2 minutes remaining. Ron Soblessczyk had 22 (or the Dem ons. Duquesne was the fourth casual ty of the week among the top 10 teams, but the only one to mis fire last night. Utah, No. S bat tered Idaho State 69-53: Dayton.

Tony Trabert " Ranked No. I NEW YORK W Tonv Trabert. who won the United States, British iWlmbiedoni and French national tennis championships and virtual ly every other tournament he en tered, Saturday was given the No. 1 men's singles ranking for 1955 by the U.S. lawn Tennis Assn. ranking committee. If the rankings are approved by the USLTA annual nieetuig in San Francisco. Jan. 21 usually a mere formality Trabert will replace Vic Selxas of Philadelphia, to whom he was second last year. Trabert now is a professional, having accepted Jack Kramer's S80.000 bid to oppose Pancho Oon zalcs on a pro tour. The rankings are based on 1955 amateur per formances. William Quihan. 5eattle, was listed In Mth place. get the same treatment. In win ning four major bowl games in four years, Dodd has often revert ed to the unexpected. And if Tech does decide to open up, the Engineers could show to an even better advantage. The main ingredient of the wait ing game is a tight defense. A good defense will work just as well In a wide open game as It will in a nip-and-tuck affair. And Dodd has an excellent defense. Against 10 opponents this season, the Tech defense crew, led by All Southeastern Conference guard Franklin Brooks and center Jim my Morris, gave up only 43 points, and that's the tightest mark in the nation. Offensively, the Engineers bank on a, strong running attack with halfback George Volkert, a master of the end sweep, carrying most of tlie load, SHORTAGE " However, there's no shortage of halfbacks at Tech, and the Engin eers operate with equal ease with 148-pound Jimmy Thompson.- 200 pound Stan Flowers, a sophomore, Paul Rotenberry or versatile John ny Menger at the halfback pasts. Fullback Ken Owen and Dickie Mattison handle the power run ning. For a team that specializes in moving on the ground. Tech quar terback Wade Mitchell can hardly be topped. The 190-pound junior is a ball-handling Houdini and the best blocker on the team. Dodd will be shooting for his sixth bowl victory without a set back. Since .taking over at Tech ten years ago. Dodd has twice won In the Sugar Bowl, against Mississippi and West Virginia, twice won the Orange Bowl, against Kansas and Baylor, and once in the Cotton Bowl against Arkansas. Cager First Negro To See Sugar Action NEW ORLEANS (UP) Al Abant, the Marquette , basketball team's number one substitute guard, and not Pittsburgh's full back Bobby Grier will become the first Negro athlete to participate in a Sugar Bowl event, it was learned today. Marquette is one of the (our teams that will participate in the 1955 Sugar Bowl basketball tourna ment next week. The other three are Alabama, Notre Dame and Utah. The Crimson Tide is the only Southern team in the event and Its supporters could kick up a row over the appearance of Abant. The announcement that Pitts burgh would play Grier against Georgia Tech in the Sugar Bowl football game Jan. 2 touched off n storm of protest, primarily In Georgia. The Sugar Bowl basketball tour nament is three days before the (ootball contest. In the opening night games. Alabama meets Notre Dame and Marquette plays Utah. On the second night, the two (irst night winners meet for the championship while the losers play in a consolation contest. The only way Alabama could miss meeting Marquette In the tournament would be (or the Tide to defeat Notre Dame and Utah beat Marquette on the opening night. As far as is known no restric tions were placed on Marquette by the Sugar Bowl and presumably It, like Pitt, can play Abant if it wants to. At Marquette, coach Jack Nagle confirmed that Abant would play in the tournament. "Sure he's going on the trip and sure we plan to use him," he said. "We're very jroud of him. We never really thought It was a prob lem. The Sugar Bowl people have always been very courteous In their dealings with us. and nothing has been said at all about it." Nagle said he had been using Abant, a sophomore, frequently. His home Is In Mt. Vernon, 111. Sid Gillman Eases Up LA Grid Practice LOS ANGELES I Coach Sid Gillman eased up on the Los Ang eles Rams Saturday but the train ing tempo will step up next week for the National Football League championship game with the Cleve land Browns here Dec. 26. The comparative lull between the end of the regular season last Sun day and the title game In Mem orial Coliseum actually has been advantageous to the Rams. It particularly will benetit two of the Rains' finest offensive ends, Bob Boyd and Elroy (Crazy Legs) Hlrsch, both of whom were side lined with leg Injuries. Hlrsch was out of action com pletely in the last three crucial games and was badly needed in the drive for the Western Conference title. Boyd got in as a decoy on one play In the Baltimore Colt game two weeks ago. and (or one pass reception last Sunday against Green Bay. Hirsch said Saturday his injured leg apparently is completely mend ed and he should be ready for starting duty against the defend ing champion Browns. Big Tank Younger Is still the No. 1 fullback, but the status of his alternate. Deacon Dan Towler. emains puzzling. Towler, once the league's leading rusher, has fav ored a knee that underwent surg ery last winter. Towler has been used sparing lyhe got in for one charge against the Packers and whether he can regain his lost prestige against the Packers and whether he can regain his lost prestige against Cleveland remains to be seen. Over all. the club should be In the best physical shape of the en tire season. Shorts On The -Bowl Fronts Bowl Briefs By UNITED I'KESS COLLEGE PARK.

USLTA Gives Hart Top Spot NEW YORK w Doris Hart, j who retired from competition this j year after a 20-yiar career that ' finally carried her to the top In women s tennis. Saturday received the final stamp of approbation when she was ranked No. 1 in wo men's singles (or 1955. The .U.S. Lawn Tennis Assn. ranking committee, recognizing consistency more than the lestilis of the national championships, list ed Miss Hart in the top spot for the second straight year, followed by veterans Shirley Fry of St. Petersburg, Fla., and Louise Brough of Beverly Hills. Calif. Thus the No. 1 positions In both men's and women'a singles went to players who now are profession als.

Ill tfi Northwest ern University, reeling aimlessly in Big Ten football circles, reached into the "minor leagues" yesterday and named little Miami of Ohio's Ara Parseghian head (ootball coach. Athletic director Stu Holcomb former Miami and Purdue football coach, chose the highly successful Parseghian in an attempt to bring back the Wildcats to football promintr.ee. Parscghian, who at 32 becomes the youngest grid coach in the Big Ten, succeeds Lou Saban, who took over last year when Bob Voigts resumed because of alumni pres sure. Holcomb was hired athletic di rector last week, succeeding Ted Paysuer who was named an as sistant business manager In charge ot athletic promotions. Holcomb's first act was to fire Saban and his assistants, a crew under which northwestern failed to win a single football game for the first time in modern NU (ootball history. Holcomb, who coached at Miami in 1941. said "we are obtaining the services of one of the finest young coaencs in lootball today. " Parseehian. who signed a three year contract, had a 39-6-1 record at Miami In five years, including victories over Northwestern this season and Indiana in 1954. Miami was undefeated in nine fames this year. A product of Akron. Ohio Parseghian played Navy football under Paul Brown and then went to Miami where he participated in football, basketball and baseball. He joined the Cleveland Browns in 1943 and two years ' later returned .to Miami as an assistant to Woody Hayes. Hayes moved on to coach Ohio Slate in 1951 and Parseghian was named head coach. Tne turn of events at Northwest em the past two weeks In a com plete about face. A couple of months ago there was some ques lion as to how long Northwestern would remain a member o the Bis Ten. Northwestern has won only one Big Ten game in the last three years and has been a second rater since finishing second in 194S and beating California in the Rose Bow, 20-14. Good Defense Best Offense Resorts Brown CLEVELAND (UP) "A good de fense is the best offense" may be a wnrn-out football saying, but for Paul Brown of the Cleveland Browns it's the strategy he'll use against the Los Angeles Rams In the National Football League's championship, game Dee, 26-. "When I talk about champion ships for the Cleveland Browns, I have to credit our defensive team," he commented. "They won the crown for us last year, and if we are lucky enough to repeat next week, they 11 be responsible." - Brown never slights his point. geinng stars, but for him a game is just about Avon when the other team's offense is stopped cold. "Almost every team in Ihe lea gue is capable of exploding In any game." he said, "and the team with the defense that can consist ently stop (he opponents' scoring ends on top." Brown's title-winning philosophy has carried him and Cleveland through 10 straight division cham pionships and two N. F. L. titles. This year's is no exception. Final statistics put Cleveland on top in defense, but the Browns ranked only third in offense. They also had the best pass defending record in tne league. "We're not planning anything special for Los Angeles," he re vealed "It's another football game, admittedly for higher stakes, but we play everyone the same way." The Cleveland coach said he would not take his team to the West Coast until the Friday before the game. "We can't chance our boys being worn out In the California heat. They'll train in Cleveland until Friday, and then go through light workouts, in Los Angeles." Fort Ord Whips Pensacola Navy SAN DIEGO, Calif. (l The Fort Ord Warriors pushed over two quick first period touchdowns and went on to a 35-13 victory over the lighter Pensacola Naval Air Station In the fourth annual Poln seltla Bowl (ootball game Satur day. Three long touchdown runs and a pair of 10-yard passes gave the Warriors from Monterey, Calif., their points. Two other Army touch downs were nullified by penalties. Halfbacks Paul Cameron, former UCLA All America, and Alex Burl paced the Army ground attack while quarterback Jimmy Powers, former San rancisco 48ers, head ed the passing game. 1 FACTORY SERVICE and Parti for PACKARD STUDEBAKER INTERNAT'L TRUCKS JUCKELAND Truck Sales & Service, Ine. 11th and Klomotti Ph. 2-2581 Fraley's Facts, Figures By OSCAR FRALKY lulled Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) - Fearless Fraley's facts and figures: Rocky Marciano's opponent (or the heavyweight title next June will be Floyd Patterson and, if they can't convince his manager, then It will be a repeat of the Archie Moore affair. Patterson's manager, Ous (i'Amato, is a reluctant man. He doesn't honestly believe that the former Olympic champion Is "ready" despite a record of 18 knockouts In 28 professional bouts. Patterson lost only one, to Joey Maxim. It Is Interesting to note that the 11 boxing writers present at that fight, all bosom buddies of Maxim manager Jack Kearns, voted unan imously In favor of Patterson. But d'Amato, a rarity among punching pilots, refuses to "push" his guy. Despite his reluctance, most ob servers predict that he will yield to the big money involved and put Patterson In with Marciano. Eith er way, the Rock wins. COME-UPPANCE Because he is playing the ball' instead of his man, Tom Gola cur rently is getting his come-uppance in pro basketball. When he was at LaSalle they used the zone de fense and he could ball-hawk be cause somebody else usually picked up his man. Now he makes the occasional spectacular play but the pros are capitalizing on his eagerness to score on him with the "give and go." His all-around play Is as good, but he Isn't scoring like he did as a collegian. But they all agree he'll "catch on" eventually. Ed Hickey, the St. 'Louis basket ball maestro, insists that the 12 foot lane Is a boon to the big man in the game. "And," Hickey insists, "you can't have a great team unless you get out and get yourself a couple of big boys." Which isn't exactly news. DEAD KINGER Darrell Floyd of Fiirman is a dead ringer for Frank Selvy, Fur man's leading collegiate scorer of two years ago. He looks like htm, moves like him and, more Import ant, even scores like him, current ly being runnerup to Robin Free man of Ohio State. Don't tell Paul Harney, the for mer Holy Cross golf captain re cently turned professional, that the pro fairway set '8 a heartless lot. "When I had a bad round, as example, Mike Souchak gave me heck," Harney explained. "He said I was playing listlessly. I took heed, too, because I weigh 145 pounds and I wouldn't want that 225-pounder getting hold of me." Which benhs out one man's opinion that golf pros are among the nicest guys in sports. Porky Oliver, Al Balding ; Golf Leaders SANFORD, Fla. I Ed (Porky) Oliver, the LeMont, III., veteran, and Al Balding, young Canuuian PGA champion, shattered par Sat urday and grabbed the lead alter three rounds in the 115,000 Sanford Open Golf Tournament with nine-under-par 201s. But Don Fairfield, a little known pro from Casey, III., shot the day's best golf, a brilliant seven-under- par 31-3263. He set a new course record and climbed one stroke be hind the leaders. Sam Snead. the White SulDhur Springs, W. Vs., slammer who led the first two rounds, shot a one-under-par 69 but slipped to a three way tie for fourth. He was dead locked at 203 with Leo Blagettl of Wllloughby, Ohio, and Dow Fln sterwald of Bedford Heights, Ohio. Oliver, with a 32-3264 tied the course record set by Snead Thurs day over the 6,205-yard par 36-34 70 Mayfalr Inn Country Club lay out. Long putta accounted for most of Porky'a birdies.

That is, if the United States Air Force or professional baseball doesn't interfere. The Air Force could postpone or interrupt for three years Hopulong Cassady s career as a pro back. He will be praduated in June as a lieutenant In the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Cassady indicates that ha doesn't lean to baseball as much as some people have said. "I've spoken to some baseball men," he says. "I' talked to Casey Stengel at the Roje Bowl a year ago. He said he was interested, but heck, everybody is interested in a bullplayei." Cassady will make no commit ments until June, however, in or der to remain eligible for his final season of Ohio State baseball. Ho Is a center fielder who last spring hit .329. "But football Is primarily my game," he makes clear. Football figures agree that Cas sady, the Buckeyes' two-time All America, would cut a wider swath as a money player than even the Otto Graham Faces Final Pro Grid Bout CLEVELAND Otto Graham says It's not age nor fading ability that's sending him Into retirement, but increasing pre-game jitters. "So much depends on me." ex plained the 34-year-old quarterback of the Cleveland Browns, who are practicing In the snow for the Dec. 26 National Football League cham pionship game against the Rams in Los Angeles. Graham says this will be his last game for the Browns because those pre-game butterflels In the stomach are getting worse and worse. "I don't worry about it during the week," he told a reporter yes terday. "It's the dny of the game that gets n:e." He wanted to retire after last season, but heeded Coach Paul Browns picas that he come back lor one more year. I Graham says he wasn't afraid that this season would be anti climax, after Ins great performance In the 1954 championship victory over ine ueirou L,ions. ne scoreu three touchdowns and passed for three more In that game. This final season wasn't hla best, but he still finished as the league's top passer with 63 per cent ot Completions .. The responsibility Is Just getting loo heavy, Graham said. And the Browns never play a breather. "Actually there Is no such thing in pro football," said Graham. "But we're always lighting for the championship. For us every game Is a must." But he's glad he came back this year. "It's worked out very well. It's been a lot of fun, no question about that," he said. "And the pay Is good." It's about $25,000.

A primary reason (or the Chi cago Bears' resurgence this (all was the churning legs of Bobby W a t k I n s, who belted his way through the opposition for an av erage of more than five yards per carry. As an undergraduate, the stubby Watkins was totally over shadowed by Cassady for three campaigns. "There Is no comparison," testi fies Coach Hayes. "Watkins is a line back, of course, but Cassady is a once-in-a-llfetimer, a game breaker. He does so many more things than Watson. "Hoppy should run wild in the wide-open pro game even bet ter than he did (or me this year And right off the bat, tco." Hayes stresses the fact that Cas sady ran all over the place the past season despite the fact that By FKANK1E KOI'LINE Walt Turner' name appeared the past week in Pacific Coast bowling news as results of the Elk's tournament at McMlnnvtlle were published, Walt placed third In both the singles division and all-events In this state-wide con test.
