Unbestsan ! Elevens Aeeaept
Bids for Miami S Post
;i,tha@ Season Game Accept
By II. j. 'ARoNsfAM =
United Psess4 Staff {Cerrsspondent

MIAMI, Fla, Nov: 80. (UP)-
Tennessee and Oklahoma, foot
ball giants of the southeast and
mid west, accepted invitations
late yesterday to play in the fifth
renewal of the Orange Bowl game
here January@2 and give this an
nual post-season clash the sole
distinction of matching unbeaten
elevens. N.. ~ 3 80 '.... Az.
Both Tennessee, champions of
the Southeastern conference, and
Oklahoma, big six titleholders,
still have a game each to play be-
fore finishing their regular cam
pai3ns, but they were favored to
come through unscarred.
The announcement that Ten
nessee and Oklahoma would be
the Orange Bowl opponents was
made by C. F. (Jack) Baldwin,
chairman of the Bowl committee,
after he had received kilograms
from Major Bob Neyland, Vol
athletics director, and Tom Std
ham, coach of the Sooners.
Neyland's acceptance for Ten.
nessee was subject to approval OF
the Southeastern conference, but
no hitch was foreseen.
The Orange Bowl selection, al
though deviating from the orig
inal North-South idea, will give
this annual New Years grid clas-
sic the only battle between un-
beaten teams, distinction Meth
er the Rose nor Sugar Bowls, 9TH
er major post-season games, can
boast.
Tennessee, which already has
piled up 229 points to l6 for nine
opponents this season, still has a
game with Mississippi to play. But
the Vols, who list Alabama, Van
derbilt, Auburn and Louisiana
among their victims, were expect
ed to get by safely.
Oklahoma's closing game IS
against Washington State, but
the Sooners also figure to win.
Tennessee, Southeastern con-
ference football colossus, showed
itself to be a tower of strength
both on offense and defense this
season. The Vols were held to
one touchdown only once and per-
mitted no team to make more than
a single score against them.
The Vols record shows a 26-3
triumph over Sewanee, 2O-7 over
Clemson, TO over Auburn, l3-O
over Alabama, conquerors of the
Rose Bowls Southern California,
44-O over the Citadel, lao over
LS.U.. 45-0 over Chattanooga,
14-O over Vanderbilt, and 46-O
over Kentucky
Oklahoma's Sooners compiled a
record equally as notable and
scored 157 points while limiting
their nine foes to II.
The Sooner record is 7-6 over
Rice, 1910 over Texas, 1910 over
Kansas, 14-0 over Nebraska, 1856
over Tulsa, $50 over Kansas
State, 21-O over Missouri, 100
over Iowa State and 1910 over
the Oklahoma Aggies. ..

Streets Northwest. endorsed a
resolution by DR.. John T. Bailey
requesting President Roosevelt to
appoint, at an early date, a
Commissioner to fill the vacancy
left by the retirement of George

The person selected, they de-
clared, should be a bona fide resi-

The Alley Dwelling Authority
was urged in a resolution by Rob
ert N. Carter to make a survey Of
t-.e old Georgetown area with a
view to launching low-cost hous-
ing projects and elimination of
Slum alleys.
The association by unanimous
vote opposed the $66,300,000
asked by municipal department
heads in the 1910 District budget
and which, if granted, would mean
an increase of $16,OOO,OOO over the
present year.
A resolution was ordered drafted
for the commissioners urging the
budget be held at the anticipated
