Now I don't want to brand myself

that all is sweetness and light with

Cotton Bowl Attempts 10
Corral Asaies. Tennessee
Offers $4,000 to
Each Team for
January Game

DALLAS, Tex. Dec. 5. (UP) -
Dallas went out with a bankrol
today to corral the University of
Tennessee and Texas A. & NJ. in
the Cotton Bowl New Years day.
An association of u influential
citizens. including no less than six
bank presidents and backed by the
chamber of commerce, offered the
perfect record Volunteers and the
undefeated, united Aggies a flat
guarantee of S85,000 each and an
opportunity, for one, to establish
respectable claim to the mythical
national football championship.
The association hoped to steal the
thunder of Pasadena's Rose Bowl,
whose formula bids cannot go out
until after Saturdays game between
the leading western candidates,
Southern California and the Uni
versity of California at Los Angeles.
1t was understood here that A. &
M. at College Station. and Tennes-
see, at Knoxville. would consider
the offers in special meetings OF
school officials today and announce
their replies this week. Strictly on
the merits of a football classic, the
association was confident it held
the upper hand on Rose Bowl pro-
moters who hadn't a perfect record
team to choose from in the west.
On the matter of financial re-
turns to the school treasures the
Cotton Bowl offer was almost-but
not quite-as attractive as a Rose
Bowl offer will be. Duke, which
played in the California Bowl last
Jan. l. received approximately $780,
900 and expenses, it was learned.
The expenses of bringing the Vol
unteers here from Knoxville would
be small, and the Aggies could al
most walk over from College
Station.
The Cotton Bowl seats 47,000.
The Rose Bowl accommodates $4,000.

SAVANNAH. Ga, Dec. 5. CUP)-
Seventeen deaf-mute mice, all wear
ing soft mittens to make even their
sign language more noiSelesS, could
not have held a quieter, more peace
full meeting than the Professional
Golfers Association did a while
back in Chicago.
Scheduled to be a stormy thing,
with irate officials whacking one
another over the head with bras
sizes, No. l irons, and spade mashies,
it resulted in nothing of the sort.
The boys went about their business
like a roomful of Alphonses and
Gastonses as George Jacobus yield
ed the presidency to Tom Walsh,
Freddie Corcoran's contract as tour
nament chairman was renewed, and
the various reports on how to keep
robins, worms and women with
high heels off the green's were
read.
This politeness came as a rousing
surprise to all those who follow the
doings of the P. G.. A, especially
in the light of what happened at
the last P. G. A. championship at
the Fomonok club in New York dur
ing the summer. You remember that
awful miX-up when a faction Of
officials headed by now President
Walsh fought to keep Denny Shute
from competing because he was a
few days late in paying his dues.
So much of the P. G. AS dirty
linen was washed during the three
day battle, and hung up to dry
right on the Pomonok Country
clubs porch, that it could be sighted
by ships at sea. The fight developed
into one between the travelling pro-
fessionals-that is, the players who
travel from tournament to tourna-
ment instead of staying at a club
and the home professionals, 94 the
ones who keep a job and teach
and run a shop.

Aggies or Vols
Favored as Rose
Bowl Opponent

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5. (UP)-
They can toss a coin to decide
whether Tennessee or Texas Aggies
will play in the Rose Bowl and fans
here are convinced that either
would give the western team its
toughest battle.
Those are the two teams most
mentioned to represent the east in
the Pasadena classic New Years
day and to the man on the street
it doesn't make much difference
which one gets the bid.
Both teams have better records to
date than the vests favorite, South
ern California, and the invitation
of either would assure a sellout.
