1t is strictly North-South game,

Carl Snavely writes me that the
1889 brand, on December 30, will be
q big improvement, with all the old
Southern settings, with the surviv-
Ing leaders of the Union and the

1t will be North against South again

old trouper which was supposed to
be all through year ago. The
other is Buddy Fogelsons Dauber,

Dauber, however, is a kid COM

around 7 years old and Dauber
isn't quite S. Both had leg injuries,

writes.
We've had quite lot to say about

Cornell and Georgia Tech were
two Of the Smartest teams of the
year-probably the smartest. Mis-

Georgia Tech nor Missouri had to
depend on manpower, which they
lacked, nor sheer pounding.
Missouri, with Paul Christman,
was one of the most colorful outfits
I've seen in q long time. They all
tell me that Georgia Tech was the
most colorful team in the South.
You might ask Notre Dame.
1t wouldn't surprise me if there
were more action in the Georgia
Tech-Missouri game than in any
other bowl game. One reason is that
there Is so much defensive power on
the part of Tennessee, Southern
California, Texas A. and M. and
Tulane. They'll keep moving the
ball around in the Orange Bowl
show most of the afternoon.
