Gomez Out For
 Mexican Divorce From June O'Dea

Lexington, Mass, Dec. 27-(UP)- For the second time in recent weeks, a New York Yankees pitcher was involved in marital difficulties to- day when it was disclosed that the brilliant Vernon Gefty) Gomez seeks a Mexican divorce from June O'Dea, former follies star.
 Only last week Gomez suspended pitching mate, Johnny Broaca, was divorced in Barnstable probate court by the former Cordelia Ireland who had brought the action her husband was seeking the divorce shortly after she arrived here with her mother and sister to spend the Christmas holidays with her grand parents.
 Contested
 Naturally I will contest the suit she said. Consent of both parties is necessary for Q Mexican divorce they are not recognized in New York, at any rate-and l, will refuse to give my consent. I'm not quite sure about the grounds, but I guess it's mental cruelty or incompatible ity, they seem to be most popular with Californians. (Gomez is @ Cal- ifornian.)
 The pretty dancer said she re- ceived a telegram from Gomez say- ing he was en route to Mexico to divorce her. Later, she said, she re- ceived formal papers.
 Gomez, leading American League pitcher during the 1887 campaign, and Miss O'Dea were married ii, New York Feb. 26. 1883. The former musical comedy star was born Helen Frances Schwartz and made her stage debut at the age of IA.
 Mysterious
 "This divorce suit is really quite e mystery to me" Miss O'Dea said. T admire lefty too much to say anything about this action. l haven't seen him since he lest for his home in California immediately after the world series."
 She said a reconciliation Did not seem likely"
 q suppose I will go back to the stage now that things are over with us. gave up the stage because Lefty asked me to, not because l wanted to. Now the only thing to do is go back to my work"

ROSE BOWL GAME RATED TOSS-UP BY U. P. WRITER'S
Four of Six Bowl" Games Figured as One.Sided;
 East Over West
nv HENRY SUPER

United Press Stan COrrospondent)
 New York, Dec. 27.-(UP)-Run. away victories by two or more touchdowns were forecast today by United Press sports writers for all but two of the six major bowl foot ball games on New Years day.
 The individual writers stationed in the various bowl centers picked Rice, Louisiana State, Texas Tech and the Eastern All.Stars to triumph hand. fly. The Rose Bowl, featuring Ala bama and California, was rated Q toss-up while Michigan State was picked over Auburn by a slender margin in the Orange Bowl.
 The selections:
 Rose Bowl ct Pasadena, Alabama vs. California.
 Henry McLemore. United Press columnist now in Pasadena, picks Alabama by a score of 14-7. Ala. bama probably isn't as hot as Cali fornia," he reported, "but that old southern spirit will flare up and carry them to victory" Ronald Wagoner, of the Los Angeles bu- reau, picks California by 2l-7.
 Sugar Bowl at New Orleans, Louisiana State vs. Santa Clara.
 Ted Maloy, southern writer, wires: "L. s. U. by 20.6. L. s. U. has had tougher season than Santa Clara, whose toughest game was against Stanford. l.. s. U. has been uninl- pressive only in two games and has too much all-around power"
 Cotton Bowl at Dallas, Rice vs. Colorado.
 Richard Baldwin, southwest ob- server, says:
 Rice by two touchdowns and pos- sibly three. Rice reserve strength entirely too much for Colorado which is playing out of its class. Ernie Lain of Rice will outshine Colorado's famed whizzer White. Probable score: Rice 27; Colorado g."
 Sun Bowl at Fl Paso, Tex, Texas Tech vs. West Virginia.
 Baldwin says: Tech by A to 6. Tech, although not in the South- west Conference, Is one of the best teams in our section and ought to be in the conference. It's trying to gain national recognition so think Tech will shoot the worksand try to win by as big a score as possible"
 Orange Bowl, Miami, Michigan State vs. Auburn.
 Fly Aronstam, southern writer, says:
 Tt looks like the Tanks again in this annual North-South game. Both are strong teams defensively and extensively. Johnny Pingel, States triple threat back, will provide a i3-7 victory"
 East-West All-star game, San Francisco.
 James Sullivan, San Francisco writer, says:
 "The east is heavier and faster. It has three of Fordham's famed blocks of granite in the line-Wojciecho- wicz, Franco and Barbartsky. It has grea tpass itching end, Sweeney of Notre Dame. It has two spark ling backs-Hackney of Duke and Davis of Indiana, George Karama- tic. Gonzagas one man backfleld. will star for the West. The West will be extremely undermanned be- cause i've western teams-Califor- mia. Santa Clara, Colorado, Rice and Washington, which plays in Hono- lulu-- have holiday engagements. The East by i4-0."

the most versatile, but this bunch can really get down on the ground and fight 1t out with you. The boys are ready to play anytime, any, where. They could ring the starting bell at { o'clock tomorrow morning and five minutes later every one of those boys would be there, fully dressed, and ready for the kickoff.
 Having been born in Georgia, an dthus knowing nothing of the attitude of southern football play- CTS toward intersectional games, l asked Thomas if the Alabama team considered the Rose Bowl game as sort of crusade, and if the boys would fight the Civil war all over again.
 "The Civil war will be just one of the wars they will fight" he an- swered. "They won't get around to the Civil war until late in the third period. Before that one is reached these kids will have refought the seven years war, the War of 1912, the Spanish war, all of the expedi- tionary excursions into Mexico, and the Crimean war. By the time the Civil war is reached they will be experienced in warfare, and ready to reverse the decision of 1865 There's no use trying to tell an Ala- bama team that Californians aren't Yankees-anything not bound on one side by the Mason Dixon line and on the other by fried chicken and corn pone, is Yankee to an Alabaman."
 Then we fell to talking of the last time Alabama came out and crushed stanford. I didn't see this game. but I enthused over the work of Dixie Howell and Don Hutson the passing combination that rar Stanford daffy.
 "You sportswriters sometimes miss what really happens on & football field, you know" Thomas said char itably. "The star of that game wasn't Howell and it wasn't Hutson It was 8 guard, Charlie Mar. Dc you know that when the game was over, and the players came in the dressing room, Howell, with all the other players around him, ran ur to Marr and handed him the ball They knew who had been the big man. I saw Charlie when we passed through Texas, on the way here. He stuck his head in the train window and said Coach, I still got that football, and much as I could use the money, I wouldn't sell 1t for a million dollars"

Pasadena, Calif, Dec. 27-(UP)- Right at this moment, Alabama's head football coach, one Tommy Thomas, feels that his team is one touchdown weaker than Califarnia. This is the margin by which he believes the Bolden Bears should win the Rose Bowl game on New Years day. This feeling on the part of Thomas should not be looked tlpo mas peSsiwism, because 1t isn't. As @ matter of fact, 1t cor1- stitutes what is almost optimism because if you asked the Alabama coach about the game two weeks ago he would have predicted Q Cali- fornia victory by anywhere from IA to 35 points.
 But In the short space of Q fort- night the boys on his team have forced him to lower California's s superiority to a single touchdown, simply with their tremendous con- fidence that no eleven men wearing cleats, pads and pants, can lick them. They eat, sleep, and breathe VlcC0fy 70 SUch an eXCenC that Thomas is slowly beginning to think that they are right. will not be at all surprised if Thomas, by the time New Years day arrives, comes out flatly with 8 declaration that Alabama is cinch and will score its fourth Rose Bowl triumph with becoming ease.
 "This Is the durndest team l have ever coached" Thomas told me last night over plate of 5erbecued spare ribs. "All the boys believe they are red-hot and that nothing grown cut here can cool them off They felt the same way all through the regular season. Being behind never bothered them. Not even being behond with only a few min- utes to play. I'll tell you one thing the Rose Bowl customers are go- ing to see the flghtingest Alabama team that ever came out here.
