 Mrs. Fuller has the reputation of playing q mans game and Is one of the fastest women players In the play of the cards. She docs not, however, allow speed to in- teriere with accuracy,

Texas Christian Horned Frogs OF
Fort Worth, Tex, voted the No.
football team Of the Nation, will rule
favorites Monday in the fifth annual
Sugar Bowl game with the Carnegie
Tech Skibos of Pittsburgh, Pa.
The Frogs, with all-America Davey
OBrien throwing the pigskin so ac-
curately the Texas folks started for
getting about the immortal Sammy
Baugh, won 10 straight games in
convincing fashion. Fans said they
weren't even extended.
The Skibos, on the other hand,
point to their remarkable defensive
record and the triumphs over Holy
Cross and Pittsburgh. They lost only
one game-to Notre Dame-after the
famous wrong down" decision of
Referee John S. Getchell. Tech for
gave Getchell and he will of1ciate
here at the schools request. Tech
was rated, generally, the best outfit
in the East.
All tickets for the game have been
sold and a crowd Of maybe $4,000,
about 10000 more than attended
any other Sugar Bowl game, is ex-
pected. Figures favor the Horned
Frogs. They gained 1,766 yards rush.
ing, 1859 passing and scored 254
points to So for opponents. That
compares with Techs gains Of 2,O69
yards rushing, $40 passing and a
total score Of ITO to 50 for the
opposition.
