McGugin came to Vanderbilt in
1904 because he was able, by a mar
gin of three minutes, to intercept
and cancel a telegram accepting a
post at a Midwestern college. He
had applied to Vandy and had re-
ceived no answer. He decided to
accept the other, job and had sent
his acceptance when word came
from Vanderbilt. He raced to the
telegraph office and just managed
to halt his other message.
McGugin was guard on Michi-
gan's famous ''point-a-minute" team

TROJANS FAVORED
IN CLASSIC TODAY
Pitt Heavily 0utWeighed.
East Wins Only Once
in Seven Starts.
BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


DASADENA, Calf, January 2.
A wreath Of roses and a
i bed of thorns were made
ready here today for the
foot ball teams of Southern Cali
3ornia and Pittsburgh.
This was the setting for the
eighteenth annual Rose Tourna-
ment game which many consider
a battle for the mythical national
championship. Seventy thousand
persons were expected to witness
the struggle in the picturesque
flower bedecked Rose Bowl nestled
between the canyon walls of the
arroyo Seco.
Troy's ponderous but alert eleven,
which Wens through the regular season
without a defeat or tie, was favored
to emerge with the crown OF garlanos.
Deception as well as weight seemed TO
show partisanship to the Pacific Coast
champions but The invading PanGherS
held decided psychological edge.
1T appeared the game would be
l. battle between two defensively de-
pendent teams bent on making or
awaiting the breaks. Pittsburgh came
here yesterday with a record marred
only by two ties in IA games. Southern
California has won the last 10.
Coaches John B. Sutherland of the
Panthers and Howard Harding Jones
Of the Trojans pronounced their play
erS in fine condition, although PITT
will be handicapped by the early sea-
son injury of Capt. Paul Raider, half
back of exceptional blocking ability.
Southern California will outweigh its
Eastern opponent more than II pounds
TO the man in the line and approx
mately 10 pounds in the back1eld
Each eleven was well fortified in the
kicking department, both with quick
kicks and puntS, with Pitt expected TO
hold slight edge due to the booting
ability of Bob Hogan. Homer Griffith
was Troy's best.
IN the matter of passes the Panthers
4 had Warren Heller, and Mike Sebas-
tian, southpaw Griffith and Bob
McNeish we're Southern California
hopes. So far as the running attack
was concerned. Pitt buydened Heller
end Sebastian with duties of picking up
SdA NAlA1I4l GLlO OLiG IL lN41lt WdIDuL-
ton, 147 pounds of speed, were the Tro-
jan entries.
During the last IT years the East
has won only one game in seven starts,
with five captured by the West. PITT
twice was the victim, losing to Stan
ford, to 6. in 1928, and again in
1890, At to IA, to lis foe of this after
noon. The Middle West won one game
and lost one. while the South lost once
and was tied in another of five games
played to head the list.
The Trojans came out victorious in
all three of their previous encounters.
Southern California beat Penn State,
il to 3, in 1923; beat the Panthers and
won from Tulane, q to II, year ago.
n S in other years, the game will bring
n together all-Americas for a post
season test Pittsburgh has its

The kickoff was set for 2:15. P. S. T.

Evening star., 1933-01-02

~ OMETHING over 100 foot bali
players viii be involved along the
! Pacific Coast today when Pitts
unbeaten Panthers meet South
ern California's unwhipped Trojans at
Pasadena, and farther North the
Eastern -Midwestern mixture face the
all-West stars.
If you want the advance dope in two
concrete packages here it is:
Southern California's Trojans should
beat the Panthers in a close fight and
the Kerr -Hanley combination from Yale
to Purdue should win by touchdown
or two.
The East's showing in these Rose Bowl
affairs has been something worse than
spotty-it has been almost consistently
bad
And it might be mentioned here that
Pittsburgh took the worst of all the
beatings on her last trip West-a beat
ing, which should spur the Panther
along to extra effort in this contest.
The Westerners win have big ad-
vantage at the two tackle jobs. Pitts
burgh has no linemen to match Smith
and Brown. the two Western giants who
outplayed Kurth and Krause a few
weeks ago. And any team which
dominates the tackle assignments has
a running jump on any rival it meets.

of Illinois and Rentner of Northwestern
on attack. with the combined defensive
play of Viviano of Cornell and Crowley
Of Yale-not to overlook Manders of
Minnesota and Rowe Of Colgate, if the
latter is in shape to do his stuff.

that more than $4,000 men comprising

quarters. Plans for construction of
quarters in which the men would be
housed during the winter months were

ference with E. v. Willard, acting state
conservation commissioner and Grover
Comet, state forester.
Lumber, roofing paper, windows,
doors and other supplies, Gen. Hagood
said, are to be purchased from funds
placed in his hands several months ago
for the maintenance of the camps.
Similar plans for G. G. camps for
the winter thruout the Seventh Corps

The Forest army is to be used in an
effort to control blister rust, a disease
which is threatening the white pine of
the area. MIR. Putnam, director of
blister rust control work for the Lake
States region and Mr.. L. B. Ritter,
state project leader, made an inspection
OF the Stoney River district last week.
Ralph Lorenz and George Harion of
the forestry service have been assigned
to blister rust control in the Superior
National Forest and are doing recon-
aissance work mapping out the areas
affected preparatory to the campaign to
be carried out by the c. C. C. in this
district. Tech. Foreman Siewert has
been assigned to the control work in
the GegoRa and Isabella areas.
The check Of this disease of the white
pine can be accomplished by the eradi-
cation Of the currant and gooseberry
bushes. These are the producers of
the injecting spores. The history of
blister rust in this country dates back
to the early part of the century when
white pine stock was imported from
Germany and France. 1t is known to
be present in Minnesota from Washing
ton county north to the Canadian
boundary and west to Morrison county.
At the present time, an infected white
pine cannot be cured. Therefore the
big job lies in prevention.

in the Range tennis tourney at Hib-

The boys all admit that COM
petition was too stiff for them in
the tourney, but they came away
from the meet with some experience
and better knowledge of some of
the finer points of the game.
Our boys playing the fine tennis
courts at Hibbing were handicapped to
a great extent. Being used to playing
on the local courts, the Ely players
were practically lost on a good court.
With tennis booming" here as it is,
something should be done about putting
the local courts into condition, at least
for next season. The proper time to
start that is now.
You can't play tennis on a poor
court and expect to be up on your
game on good court. The great
est fault of the local courts is the
nearness of the fences to the base
lines, which prevents the return Of
deep shots. The local boys looked
bad on returning long shots at Hib-
bling, having had no practice on
that phase of the game.
An invitation has been received from
the Duluth Municipal Athletic Com
to have an Ely representative
in the State diamond ball tournament
next month. Our diamond ball teams
are on a par with other class B teams
and we should have an entry in the
state games.
The Rikhus & Vertin diamond
ball team recently split twin bill
with the Virginia b. r. team losing
7 to 8 and winning to 2. This
clearly demonstrated that we have
several very good D-Ball teams, as
