is kick in the pancreas against
Santa Clara in the Sugar Bowl.
Marquette is to beat Texas Chris
tan in the Cotton Bowl. Duquesne
is better than Mississippi State for
the Orange Bowl game. Auburn
figures over Villanova at Havana
How do I know all this? AS a
matter Of fact, don't. 1t repre-
sents the findings of II coaches
whose opinions on the various
bowl games" next week were
solicited by International News
Service in a nationwide poll.
Glenn Warner, the old master
Howard Jones, Southern Cali
fornia; Ducky Pond, Yale; Fritz
Crisler, and Gar Davidson, West
Point; Tiny Thornhill, Stanford,
and Matty Bell, Southern Metho-
dist, were among those who voted.
Pitt got an 8-to-5 edge over
Washington in the Rose Bowl. al
though Thornhill, an old Pitt
man, went with Washington, pos
Sibly as a gesture of sectional
loyalty. However, Howard Jones,
from the same section, saw the
game as stand off.
Buck Shaw, Santa Clara coach,
cast the lone vote for the Bron-
chos. Slip Madigan, his rival, at
st. Mary'S gave Santa Clara his
sympathy" but L. S. U. the same.
Ducky Pond said L. S. U. was the
greatest team in the country.
So if there's going to be real
upset on New Year Day, apparent
ly Santa Clara must supply it.
Marquette originally was away
out in front of Texas Christian in
the voting by to /, but Matty
Bell and Homer Norton, Texas A.
and M. Coach, voted with T.. C..
U; Morley Jennings, of Baylor,
called it toss up, and Dutch"
Meyer refused to pick the winner
Of a game in which his team was
a principal. Then Pond and
Davidson made it close by taking
T, c. U. The final tally was 8 to
6. with three blanks.
