 New York, Nov Is. (UP)- Among the more interested specta- tors of the national football scene are the members of that August group, the tournament of roses committee.
 It is, you know, the business of this body to see to it that in the rush of providing the tournament with beautiful women, beautiful mountains, beautiful floats, beauti- full weather and beautiful publicity, the little matter of providing two beautiful elevens for that hip-de- hi-de-ho sports event, the Rose Bowl game, is not overlooked.
 So far the committee hasn't chirped as to which team will be imported and thrown in there New
 Years day with the class eleven Of the far west. And 1t probably won't chirp for some days to come, be- ing as one year the club it select ed in midseason took a swell trim ming before departing for the west, thus robbing the game of much glamour and prestige.
 But the committee has got to make a selection some time, and who will 1t be? Thinking you might like to know we buzzed George Bea1e, west coast sports writer, on the subject. We quote MT Beale's reply verbatim:
 eNothing official on Rose Bowl yet, because tournament committee wary making early selections for fear nominee go haywire and get licked before coming west stop Brown Colgate Auburn favorites now with Tennessee Pitts burgh getting some considera- ton stop Brown generally regard ed as preferable> because harder schedule stop of course defeat would automatically eliminate any i of these teams stop Pitt can help it's cause a lot by soundly thump- ing Stanford stop Big ten favorites not being considered because their ruling against post season games stop Southern California naturally coast favorite now stop"
 But one thing in MT Beale's re- I-ply puzzles us. and that is the ref erence to Browns strong schedule. Evidently there must be some con- fusion on the coast, for if Browns schedule of Rhode Island State, Springfield. Yale, Tufts, Harvard, Holy Cross, Columbia and Colgate l is tough, then what is the word to describe such 8 bill of fare as through? But we're a-thiniing
 that Brown will be rubbed from the picture Thanksgiving day when Colgate is tackled at Providence. If Brown is knocked out of con-
 sideration, that will leave only col- gate and Auburn in the running. Who would make the best show ing, the Red Raiders from the
 Chenango or the plainsmen from
 the lovliest village? We don't know
 for sure, but we've got a sneaking
 feeling that Auburn.
 Would Colgate's light, fast and tricky outfit look great against heavy, vy,slow-thinking opposition,
