Texas Christian inpatient
For Invitation to Coast;
Duke Remains Silent

Only one of the burly band of
Christians seemed interested in pro
football. He was XII Aldrich, 1881
pound center, who rates as the finest
pivot man in Southwest Conference
history.
Invited to Cotton Bowl.
One invitation to a post-season
classic already has been presented
to the Christians-from the Cotton
Bowl in Dallas. But officials said it
would lay unanswered until action
by the Rose Bowl authorities.

took his first head coaching job at
Texas Christian in 1884. Joined his
boys in hoping for Rose Bowl game

BY the Associated Press.
DURHAM, N. c., Nov. 28.-The
football faithful in these parts, from
Gov. Clyde Hoey down, hoped today
to see Duke in the Rose Bowl, but
from Duke itself there was mighty
silence.
Coach Wallace Wade. the SLOW
talking Tennessean who guides
Dukes football destiny, said few
weeks ago Duke wouldn't be interest
ed in Rose Bowl invitation. How
ever, that was before Dukes TO
triumph over Pitt.
Plays Five Close Games.
Dukes defeat of the Partners
brought it's season to a perfect close.
Not only do the Dukes remain un-
defeated and united, but not once
has their goal line been crossed.
The Dukes played nine games, won
them all.
Virginia Tech, Davidson, Colgate,
Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, North
Carolina, Syracuse, North Carolina
State and Pittsburgh-all these fell
before Duke. Colgate. Georgia Tech,
Wake Forest, North Carolina State
and Pitt, however, were beaten by
only a single touchdown.
The Southern Conference, Of
which Duke Is a member, has rule
prohibiting teams from playing post
season bowl games. The rule has
been waived in the past.
However. Dean w. H. Wanna
maker of Duke, who is president OF
the Southern Conference, said today
that he had received no request this
year that the regulation be lifted.
Sees Plug for State.
At Raleigh Gov. Hoey told news
men it would be very fine publicity
for North Carolina" if Duke should
receive and accept Rose Bowl bid.
And Secretary of State Thad Eure
wired Frank F. Jordan, California
Secretary of State:
"A throng of Tar Heels eagerly
anticipate the privilege of following
the Iron Dukes to the Bowl Of
Roses"
But the big question still remained,
will Duke be invited, and If so, will
1t accept?

board of trustees gathered to con-
slider the possibility of accepting
invitations to post-season game.

decision.
Carnegie never has played a bowl

Such a loom will weave rugs up to
