Santa Barbara Choice.

At SANTA BARBARA today. the
Gauchos of Santa Barbara Teach
ers with their Yeager, Oldershaw and
Mulock get the call over New Mexico
States Aggies with their flne-looking
stars. Apodaco and Pratt. Santa
Barbara had one Of the best teachers
college outfits in the Nation during
the regular season.
Rated as almost even, Georgia Tech
and California should put up great
battle tomorrow in the heart of Geor-
gia. The Golden Bears with their
an-America center. Herwig, lost four
games. but took the measure of such
as Stanford and Southern California.
The Golden Tornado with Fitzsim-
mons, guard, and Konemann, fullback,
honorsbly mentioned in all-America
selections, began its season like the
Golden Tornado of other years, but
lost several big battles by a whisker
The game looks toss-up, but there
Is more than a possibility that the
Golden Tornado will swirl again.
Pitt Seems to Have Edge.
NOW that melee at Pasadena on
New Year day, the Rose Bowl
game. Many have scoffed at the Uni
versity of Washington's choice Of
Pittsburgh instead of Louisiana State
IS foe. but the Huskies picked q tough
one. The Panthers were the best in
the East, despite that Duquesne set
back and that tie with Fordham.
Among others they beat Ohio State,
Notre Dame and Nebraska. The
Huskies bowed only to Minnesota and
were tied by Stanford.
This game appears another toss-up.
Any edge seems to be with Pittsburgh,
with its fine end, Daddio; its great
tackle, Daniel; its slick guard, Glass
ford; its stellar young back, Goldberg,
and its veteran ball-toter, Larue. The
Huskies, of course, have their all
America guard, Starcevich, and their
splendid backs, Haines and Cain, but
they will need plenty to stop Pitt II
It Is right the day of the game.
Win Seen for L. S. u.
SWINGING to the Sugar Bowl game
here, the question Is: Can Falaschi,
Santa Clara's all-America quarter,
block out Tinsley, Louisiana States
all-Amsrica end?" Williamson rides
with the Louisiana State end. The
Bayou Bengals won the Southeastern
Conference championship for the
second time in succession. They
played no set-up schedule and back
Of Tinsley they have such sterling
performers as Carroll, Leisk, Stewart,
Reed and Grass.
Santa Clara has its stars in Bassi
and Gomez, besides Falaschi. and went
along unbeaten and united until it
ran into Sammy Baugh and Texas
Christian. But the Broncs whipped
Stanford, Auburn and st. Mary's Of
California among others. They ought
to make the game more than in
teresting for the Bayou Bengals.
Auburn won the national cham
pionship for travelling during the sea-
son and will add much more mileage
with its trip to Havana. Also it
should add to its victory string q win
over Villanova. And perhaps after
this scrap the Plainsmen and their
gifted center, Gilbert, will get the
rational recognition they really de.
serve.
Fine Auburn Season.
DURING the regular season Auburn
won from Detroit. conqueror Of
Duquesne: from Georgia, that tied
Fordham; from Georgia Tech, that
made games miserable for Alabama
and Manhattan, and from Tennessee,
that whipped Duke. It lost only to
Louisiana State and Santa Clara.
.Villanova has scrappy team that
boasts of such stars as Sala and
Stopper. The Wildcats started their
season with a rush and went along
well until they bumped into Bucknell
and Temple.
In the Cotton Bowl at Dallas the
Williamson System will 60 along with

they battle the Golden Avalanche Of
