While most football dopesters be-
lieve that either Alabama, where
Wade formerly was coach, or the
University of Louisiana will be inv-t-

growing in informed football circles
here that the Duke team is just as
likely if not more likely, to get the
invitation than either of these other
teams. It is understood that one Of
the officials in charge of selecting
ten to one or more persons in Dur
ham to the effect that Duke is being
considered because a team coached
by Wallace Wade will draw a larger
crowd to the Rose Bowl game than
either Alabama or Louisiana State.
Wade is already well known in CAL
fOrnia because Of the teams he pro-
duced when he was coach at Alabama
before he came to Duke and which
were invited to the Rose Bowl. It
was a .Wade-coached Alabama ia"
which beat the Washington Univer-
