Rose Bowl
Rivals Set
Stanford, Heavy Favorite,
and Columbia Both in
Top Shape.

BIZ United Press
PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 29.-Stan-
ford and Columbia today neared the
end of their training routes that
will converge in Rose Bowl here
New Years day for the annual in
tersectional Tournament of Roses
football game.
Heavy workouts were over. Light
drills were the order Of the day.
Rival coaches, Tiny Thornhill and
Lou Little, began polishing off often
sive and defensive bearings. Tomor-
row the training grind will be COM
pleted and Columbias thirty players
will be bundled aboard a train at
Tucson, Ariz., and brought here for
one-day rest.
WagerS of IL Points
The situation today found the
Stanford team an overwhelming
favorite to repel the invasion Of
New York's first Rose Bowl repre-
sentative. Odds held at 215 to l
or II points at even money. Bet
ting commissioners said there was
little response among the betting
fraternity even at these odds.
Their report reflected what was
generally believed-a lack of popu-
lar interest in the forthcoming bat
tie. Although officials displayed
reluctance to discuss the matter, it
was believed in most quarters that
the two teams will battle before the
smallest Rose tournament crowd in
years. An attendance of $4,000 was
regarded as maximum estimate.
GraysOn Ill
Stanford cohorts received a scare
last night when Bobby Grayson,
spectacular sophomore half back,
was ordered to bed with bad cold.
Reports circulated about there was
strong likelihood he would not be
in uniform next Monday, but the
reports were secuted, barring COM
plicationS.
AS Grayson went on the sick list,
Monk Moscrip, star end, and Yves
Muller, center, returned to service.
Conversely, the Columbia squad
was reported in tip-top condition,
physically and mentally. Coach Lit
tie has made no secret of his salts
faction and partisans who accom-
panied the team west shared his
enthusiasm.

for Boat Cup

By United Press
WINDSOR, Ont, Dec. 90. -
Canada will make its first bid for
the famed HarmSworth speedboat
trophy next year, James S. Allan,
K. c., secretary treasurer of the
Canadian Power Boat Association,
said today.
The Canadian entry will be
sponsored by group of Windsor
and border cities business men who
prefer to remain anonymous at
present.
Possibility was seen today that
the British international trophy race
may develop into a three-cornered
affair in 1884. Gar Wood, Amer
lean speedboat king and present
holder Of the trophy, said he has
been working steadily on the Miss
America x in which he defended his
trophy last year against the Eng
lishman, Hubert Scott Paine, and
his Miss Britain III. Scott Paine
is expected to issue another chal-
lenge.

BoiIermakers Are Scheduled
for Three Tits in One
Week.

By Times Special
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Dec. 29-As a
final tuneup for the Big Ten cam
paign, Purdue's basketball squad
will stack up against three out
standing intersectional foes in six
days, beginning with the tilt against

Plenty of Tickets
All three games will be played in

SUM here, which provides ample
seating accommodations, and there
are expected to be plenty Of tickets
available at bargain prices.
The Washington quintet, which
provides the immediate problem for
the Boilermaker squad that defeated
Butler in spectacular game, 1874,
in its last start, provided ample evil
dence of its scoring power against
Illinois. Although defeated in a
double overtime game, 40 to Sc, Don
hite's combination displayed a fin
iShed brand of ball.
Cats Are High Scorers
Arizona's high-Scoring Wildcats
will provide an unusual attraction
on New Years night. The far west
erners, with quintet that has
played together for four years, have
set some unusual scoring marks in
their own circuit and scheduled their
midweStern tour in search of ma
tional honors.
Following its taste Of the Missouri
valley and far western brands of
basketball, the Boilermaker squad
will get a generous sample Of south
ern hardwood play when it tackles

night as the final test before the
opening of the Big Ten campaign
against Minnesota here on Jan. 6.
