Tech Coach Bobby Dodd, trying

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

the "waiting game" all season Is
hardly a guarantee that Pitt will

If the rankings are approved by

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

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.

LOS ANGELES I Coach Sid
Gillman eased up on the Los Ang

The comparative lull between the

game two weeks ago. and (or one

his alternate. Deacon Dan Towler.

league's leading rusher, has fav

Athletic director Stu Holcomb
former Miami and Purdue football

Parscghian, who at 32 becomes

Holcomb was hired athletic di

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

Parseehian. who signed a three

Brown's title-winning philosophy

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.
