TEXAS CLEARS
 ROSE BOWL PATH FOR TENNESSEE
AIM. Team to Take on Tulane in Sugar Bowl;
 UCLA May Surprise

United Press Staff Corrcspondentl
 New Orleans, Dec. 6.--(UP)-The Sugar Bowl stole @ march on the Cotton Bowl today and obtained one of the nations choice teams the Texas Aggies--for its game New Years day.
 The New Orleans Midwinter Sports Association announced that the Aggies would meet Tulane here. The financial guarantee, if any, was not stated, but the Texans turned down an offer of $85,O00 to play in their own states Cotton Bowl.
 The announcement came in the midst of frenzied maneuvering by Cotton Bowl officials in Dallas to stymie the Pasadena Rose Bowl by lining up the two outstanding teams Tennessee and the Texas Aggies The Aggies claimed they would have been willing to play in the Cotton Bowl if they could be sure Tennes- see would be their opponent, but Tennessee was unwilling to make Q decision last night and so they ac.

 That left undefeated, unscored upon, un-tied Tennessee very much available for the Rose Bowl and 1t was believed that 1t had very good reason to believe 1t would be the eastern choice when 1t stalled off the Cotton Bowls $85,000 guarantee.
 Southern California and the Uni- versity of California at Los Angeles are the contenders as the vests Rose Bowl team. They play Sat- urday and if Southern California wins Tennessee is almost certain 10 get the invitation. It was re- ported on the coast that U. c. L. A. might feel a certain delicacy about inviting a team of the deep south such as Tennessee. because several of its stars are Negroes.
 Tennessee was about the only choice. Cornell has announced that 1t would not accept post season engagement if one was offered.

DARTMOUTH TRACK
 0. K. SAYS HILLMAN
Invites Skeptics to Check lt-Cunningham's Mile
 Mark Questioned

Hanover, N. H., Dec. 6.--tUP)-- Dartmouth Track Coach Harry Hillman emphatically denied today contention that the colleges famed board track might not con- form to amateur athletic union standards.
 "The track" he said, lis set up right now in the same manner 1t was when John Borlcan and Glenn Cunningham ran here. If anybody wants to, they can come up and check 1t for themselves"
 An anonymous letter writer has contended the track does not have to curb entirely around 1t as pro- vided in A. A. U. rules. This was revealed yesterday by records com mittee chairman, Paul R. Jordan at Indianapolis, Ind. Jordan said the matter would be investigated at an A. A. U. meeting at Miami, Fla. Friday.
 "There Is absolutely no truth In the letter" Hillman said. We had the track measured to A. A. U. speci- fications before each meet .. .. and we had one-foot borders at tie curves"
 Hillman said he had received let ters from Jordan after the meets commenting him for the prepara- tons that had been taken to con- form to specifications
 Cunningham ran his record- breaking 4.O4.4 mile on the Dart mouth track which has been trlned the fastest running strip in the world. During the past season Borican. the Negro flash, set new marks of i:49.8 and 1:49.2 for the half f-mile and 300 meters respec- lively, and the Fordham mile relay team sped that distance in 3:l5,2. These latter three marks wll come up for record consideration at the Miami meeting.

BULLDOG B-A-R-K-S
By SAMMY PROCOPION Good Evening Sport Fans:

The South End Bulldogs lost their hoop opener last Monday by a score of 18 to IA, at the hands of their chief rivals the Abrigadors. Gerald Caulfleld. who has been shifted to a forward position instead Of his former position at center led the Bulldogers impetus with seven points. Jackie Travers and Albert Damelio were not seen in the cpen- ing lineup due to the inelie ..y....y of Damelio and Travers who will seek action with Leavenworth.
 Bit(e)s From the Bulldogs
 The Mystery Kid took in the Tech Bristol basketball game at Bristol's "cheesebox" Thanksgiving night and contrary to the score thought the Techsters really played good game. Jackie Travers was seen playing in the fourth pe- riod. Eddie Courtney, highest scorer in the Parochial league last year will lend his services to the Bulldogs this year. . Sammy Pro- copion, Alphonse schiavone, and other Crosbyites in the club were fit to be tied when Wilby outplayed them in the Turkey day game. Wilby's Tommy Red" Reardon must have been very jubilant. Seen at the Giants -Redskin game were Gerald Caulfield and his brother who missed the last minutes of the fourth quarter. I supposed they left early so that they would avoid the crowd. :. The Vagabonds will provide opposition for the Bull dogs on this coming Monday night at 7:30. A point ip which I have overlooked all summer long is that three Bulldogs played in the Recreation league on different teams and the trio made the loops "All-Star" team. Travers has been approached by college scout to play baseball Speaking of baseball Teddy" Galucci drives a baseball as wicked as he drives his truck. will somebody please answer this question for me, "Who was favored on Thanksgiving morn- ing between Crosby and Wilby and what were the odds. would ap- preciate it very much if somebody will tell me.
 Two basketball games are being sought for over the weekend. Any team desiring to play the South Enders on Friday night or Satur- day afternoon will call 3-96Sl any afternoon and ask for Sammy Pro- copion. The new basketball uni- forms will be the subject at Sat- urday afternoons meeting for all members. This is very important and all are urged to attend this confab at the Boys Club library. .. Johnny Florio has been named to assist sammy Procopion in cov- ering all the basketball games. |.

GIANTS ALSO HAVE EDGE UP FRONT

Up front is a rock ribbed line which includes, first and fore- most, Mel Hein, the mobile giant who is regarded as the best cen- ter football has ever known. Six times an all-league selection, the former Oregon star is far and away the best linebacked extant, and there isn't a pivot man in the loop who can match him at cov- ering against passes.
 Then there are such handy men to consider as Big Ed Widseth, all- league tackle; Jim Poole, Jim Lee Howell and OK Parry. Not easily intimidated, these gents.
 Biggest thing in the Packers favor is the brilliant passing com- bination of Arnie Herber to Don Hutson. There may be better passers than Herber, but nearly any football observer will tell you the former Alabama star is the greatest receiver football has pro- duced.
 There's additional help in the persons of Larry Craig big rookie blocking quarterback from South Carolina; Andy Uram, Eddie Jan- kowski, Dwight Sloan and Clark Hinkle.'
 The Packer line is solid enough with Butford Ray, Butch Svendsen, Buckets Goldenberg, Bill Lee and others but 1t doesn't quite measure up to the Giants.
 But as Bob zuppke says, you never can tell which way a football will bounce.

CUFF, STRONG HAVE UNERRING TOES

Biggest point in the Giants favor is the presence of two of the greaest field goal specialists in the game today the vet eran Ken Strong, who has been booting 'em for more than dec- ade, and Ward Cuff, the one-time Marquette ace who is just about Strong's equal.
 These two scored all the Giants points in beating the Redskins, Cuff making good on two attempts, and Strong on another.
 Both are dangerous from anyo where within the 40-yard line, and once they try them from the 20 it's almost automatic.
 Cuff, incidentaliy, won the league field goal championship with seven successful boots.
 Another margin which must be given to the Giants lies in all- round backfield strength. Ed Danowski is a great passer; Tuffy Leemans is the best running back in the pro game today; Hank Soar Dale Burnett, Cuff, Strong, and Nelo Felaschi have plenty of what it takes,

No Champion Team Has Ever Won Two Straight
 Titles; Giant Line Best
BY JERRY BRONDTIELD NEA Service Sports Writer

Milwaukee, Dec. 6-For the second year in a row the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers play for the National Professional Football chall1- pionship, and as the experts gather here for the meeting Dec. 10, the consensus is that the Giants will re- tain the title they won year ago and in so doing crack jink of long standing.
 The National Football League, like the Southwest Conference, never has seen a champion repeat since the present playoff system between division leaders was inaugurated.
 The New Workers, ofttimes re ferred to as Mara University" beat the Packers 23-17 a year ago and we're tempted to give them a slightly better margin this time.
 The Giants in winning the east ern division title won nine, lost one and tied one. The Packers took the western crown by win- ming nine and losing two, and barely gained the playoffs by de- feating an inferior Detroit team, l2-7. The Giants, meanwhile held off a great Washington Red- skin outfit, 9-7, to clinch eastern honorS.

new drive in the next Congress by

projects was forecast today by in

The last Congress tossed out the
prevailing wage clause in the final

substituted a monthly security wage
which brought sharp criticism from
leaders of the building trades unions
Restoration of the prevailing wage
clause was listed as one of the major
questions up for consideration at the

Leaders said the department would
renew it's stand for congressional
approval of an s800,O0o000 sup
Elemental appropriation to carry on
the United States Housing Authority
program for low cost housing and
slum clearance.
Harry C. Bates. head of the brick
layers union, estimated that more

chanics were affected by the elimina-
ton of the prevailing wage clause
from the relief act.

OF course. according to the old
conventional theory that in love
man should be the pursuer and
woman the pursued, this woman is
using the wrong technique with you.
She should be coy. difficult. whet
your appetite by being the peach
that hangs highest on the tree in
stead of the overripe one that is
ready to fall into your mouth. She
should flee at your approach to make
you chase her She should hold her
self aloof, and thus pique your in
terest and fire your fancy. But, alas,
other days, other customs. That
method of courtship has fallen into
disuse and it is the girls now who
do the running. Dear Lady Disdain
has passed out of the picture and it
is Sally Go-Getter who shanghais
her man into marriage.
Maybe this isn't as modern a Gus
tom as you think Maybe woman
always saw a potential husband in
every male with whom they came in
contact. At any rate, Bernard Shaw
says they always did and that wom-
en- have always taken the lead in
courtship. Anyway. it makes it very
difficult for the man who wants to
stay single. DOROTHY DIX.
