this sumptuous day:
The quickest way to ruin
Thanksgiving Day for any
general, admiral or a sports
writer is to inquire of him
where a couple Of seats for
the Army-Navy game can be
had.
Lieut.. Moe DAILY, line coach
at West Point, was stricken
with appendicitis this week
while mapping Arny's defense
against Navy'S spread plays"
with Lieut.. (Head Coach) Gar
Davidson.
Seventeen football players grad
uate from Notre Dame before an
other season rolls around. Among
them are Bill Shakespeare Mike
Layden, Andy Pilney, Fred Ca
rideo, Don Elser, Wally Fromhart,
Frank Gaul, Frank Pojman, Fred
Solari, Wayne Miner and Marty
Peters.
For Merit On GridirOn
Three Harvard varsity football
players have been awarded schol-
arships by the Student Council,
and their education expense will
be party betrayed from a fund
Of $500 contributed by the under
graduates. The lucky athletes are
n. John Adzigian, left halfback;
George w. Blackwood, quarter.
back, and John c. Cabiter, tackle.
Now let's run through today'S
football selections right quickly.
To win, I like Maryland, Catholic
University, George Washington,
Kentucky, Colgate, Fordham, Kan
sas, Nebraska, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, Wake Forest, West
Virginia, Albright, Carnegie Tech,
Alabama, Washington and Lee,
Temple. Furman, Arkansas, and
William and Mary.
Sectionally, the football cham
pions of the country this morn
ing stood: East, Princeton; West,
Minnesota; South, louisa ma
State; Southwest, Southern Meth.
odist University and Texas Chris.
tian, who play this week; Far
West, Stanford.
The dog-eat-dog game Of the
East today will not be the Cor
nell-PennSylvania game, but the
Ferdham-New York University
contest. There's a Rose Bowl
chance in that game for N. Y. U.
Some Bad Luck Teams
T. Five teams the country over are
. outstanding for having encoun-
tered one bad play, or one bad
game, that kept them out Of ma
tional or sectional champions
North Carolina, Duke, California.
Pittsburgh and Holy Cross.
Coach Carl Snavely's North
Carolina Tar Heels will lose nine
letter men (by graduationO after
today'S game with Virginia, not
; the least of which is the great
Don Jackson, the fluffy" Lee
mans, of Chapel Hill.
"The others playing their last
season for Carolina are: Co-cap-
tain Harry Montgomery, half
back; Babe Daniels, center; CO.
captain Herman Snyder, quarter
back; Gene Barwick, end; Tom
Evans, tackle; Jim McCracken,
quarterback; Emmett Joyce.
guard, and Mill Moore, end.
No BED OF ROSES
Stanford seems to be Califor-
MAS favorite son to represent
the West in modern Rose Bowl
competition. Next New Year Day
the Indians will make their sixth
bow in the Tournamen: Of Roses
classic. The bowl, however. has
been no bed Of roses for Stan
ford. They have won but one of
their five previous appearances.
Southern California has been a
party to the Pasadena classic on
four occasions and California has
carried the flaming torch for the
West on three occasions. Stan.
ford, however, appeared in a sort
of fore-runner to the Rose Bowl
game back in 1901 when it played
Michigan. losing by 49 to 0.
In 1925, when the Indians
started their modern appearances,
they lost to Notre Dame by 81 to
10. In 1927 they tied Alabama z
and and the following year eked
out a 7-to-6 victory over Pittsburgh
for their only win Of the series.
Two years ago, most of you re-
member, they suffered a 7-to-0
upset at the hands Of Lou Lttle'S
Columbia underdogS and last New
Year Day they took an awful shell
lacking from Alabama by 20 to 13.
On the other hand, Southern
California has put up the greatest
defense of the West in Rose Bowl
competition, winning all four OF
its games. Penn State, Tulane and
Pittsburgh have all fallen before
the Trojans, the Pittsburghers
twice.
California split even in three
. Rose Bowl appearances, defeating
Ohio State, tying Washington and
Jefferson and losing to Georgia
Tech by 1 point when Roy Reigels
ran the wrong way.
