MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 1.-The Buck

ricansS were the Orange Bowl OPP
ponentS today in a New Years foot
ball classic.
Although the Bisons we're suffer-
ing from head colds, sore feet and
had not yet become acclimated to
the warmer climate, they were eX-
pected to give the Hurricanes a nip

doped to clay a passing game in
an effort 10 save their energy.
A sell-out crowd of 10000 fans
was expected.
Coach Edward E. Myling ex-
planned the sore feet of the Bisons
by the fact that they had been
playing in gym shoes two weeks
prior to coming here and their feet
had to be accustomed again to the
cleated football shoes.

Prick Turns on Night Ball Critics
Prexy Reveals Vote Was Unanimous

LII along it has been the understanding that three Ma
tional League clubs voted against night baseball when
the senior major loop balloted on the nocturnal experiment
several weeks ago. Sports writer's opposing the innovation
tossed bouquets at the Giants, Pirates and Dodgers "for
displaying stern ruggedness" against the move launched by
the Cncy Reds to turn on the lights as a means of getting
more customers through the turnstiles.
Now President Ford Prick of the National League comes out with
a statement that throws the night ball critics for a loss He says: 4
want to correct the widespread impression that the New York, Pittsburgh
and Brooklyn clubs voted against night baseball. The league passed the
proposition by a unanimous vote, but these three clubs indicated they
desired to see how the idea worked out in other parks before making a
definite move in their own plants"

Il strated that it doesn't take old
age to see the handwriting on the
wall. Night baseball saved the
American Association in 1888 and
benefited it again in 1894. 1t was
the same story in the International
League.
It's true that attendance picked
up in the majors last year, but how
many clubs made money? A mere
handful finished out of the red.
Owners, managers and players pre-
fer day ball to night ball, but there
are not enough paying customers
left to support afternoon entertain
ment in many cities.
The bulk of the employed popu-
lation anywhere is employed dur
ing the day. The amusement hours
are after nightfaIl. That's the
reason President Emil Fuchs of the
Boston Nationals tried to gain con-
sent to stage night dog racing in
his park. He grew tired of looking
at empty seats during the Braves

Certainly arc lights competition is

Perfect weather prevailed for the
game, with participants heralded as
the finest team ever to come out of
the South and the best all-round
Pacific Coast team of the decade.
Most critics agreed that a decisive
victory would give the winning team
a right to rank with Minnesota as
the national champion of 1884.
Each team worked out briefly at
the Bowl yesterday and was pro-
nounced in perfect mental and
physical condition.
This was good news, since a week
ago Stanford had three and Ala
bama one star on the injured list.
Rival coaches were wary in last
minute statements. Said Coach
Claude CTiny) Thornhill of Stan
ford:
1T looks even. I think the team
that gets the breaks will win. Well
try to make a few"
Said Frank Thomas of Alabama:
IF our line holds up, I think
we've a good chance to win. We
realize we're up against a splendid,
hardy line and a pack of hard-hit-
ting backs. Well win or lose in the
line"
All-America FavOrites on Squad
In addition to seeing the best
team in the South and the best
team in the West, the fans had be-
fore them the spectacle of six play
ers who rated and made practically
all first, second and third all
America selections.
Stanford had Bobby GraySon, on
whose recently cracked ribs depend
eG much. The coasts most spec
tacular full back since Ernie Nevers,
Grayson was an unanimous all
America selection. Although he was
on the sidelineS until a week ago
with his injured ribs, he vas Sched-
uled to star today and to lead Coach
Tiny Thornhill's version OF the
Warner system attack.
Stanford also boosted Jim Mos
Grip, all-America end, and Bob
Reynolds, a tackle who placed on
most second or third all-star lists.
Against these Alabama pitted
Dixie Howell, its running, passing
and kicking half back; Don Hutson,
spectacular end, and Captain Bill
Lee. tackle. Howell and HutsOn
made most all-America ratings and
Lee placed on many second and
third string teams.
AS the teams compared in stars
at similar positions so they COM
pared in other ways. Alabama's
starting lineup was to average 1876
pounds. Stanford's average was only
two pounds less.
Out to Settle 1927 Tie
Both teams were powerful on
offense, Alabama having slightly the
best of it here in that is was the
country's highest scoring major
team. Each was strong defensively,
the edge in this department going
to Stanford, which permitted only
two touchdoWns to be scored against
it. Both of these scores came
through forward passes. Thirty-two
points we're registered against Ala
bama during the season.
