Old Man Alexander Reody
To Show Some Tricks.

Il see Georgia Tech is picked to
beat Missouri in the Orange Bowl"
writes L. G. F. Il don't think those
pickers have seen Paul Christman
throw a football"
They'll see plenty when he does.
On the other side, I don't think
Missouri has looked at any offense
quite up to the Georgia Tech brand.
Old Man Bill Alexander is crafty
delegate and this season he has
more surprises and more receptions
than most teams ever get chance
to see all year.
For this reason the Orange Bowl
may be even more spectacular as a
contest than either the Rose or
Sugar Bowl roundups.
The Orange Bowl may not carry
quite as much heft in the way of
football talent. but it is almost GER
tam to be loaded with such action
that no defense is going to smother
the other side.
This can happen in both the Rose
Bowl and Sugar Bowl, where there
will be a quadruple wall of defense
to knock apart in both games.
Breaking down powerful defenses is
going to be one of the largest stymies
laid on New Year Day. You can
gamble on that.

Tulane Needed Only Better

You can find a hatful of argu-

Eeve Tulane could have beaten
Tennessee in October, but Tennessee
would have had a busy afternoon
after November with Cafego
and Suffridge missing.
Tulane is packed with carload
of football. All it has needed is
better passing to be almost unbeat-
able And its passing picked up
later. But I can slip the tip along
in advance that Tulane has all any
team can handle on the same field
with Texas A. and M.
I happen to know that Homer
Norton expects to win. He figures
he has better line, headed by Boyd
and Robnett, and a better back
field. headed by Kimbrough.

Volunteers Not Some Teom
In November as at Stort.

This is a correct diagnosis. Ten
nessee was not the team near the
end Of the campaign that it was
against Alabama when Cafego and
Suffrldge were right. Its offenSe
lost a number of vital cogs. Defen-
slvely the team held together and
turned out fine job-the best de-
fensive JOB of the year. But several
scouts who saw Tennessee earlier
told me later that something of the
old zip was gone from the team OF
last year and the early 1889 outfit.
This doesn't mean Tennessee will
be any part of a setup. Id say
this far in advance. with the squad
on its way west, that its defense and
its all-around smartness will give it
an even chance.
1t also will have a better South
ern California team to meet than
Howard Jones had in the field

Golfers Are KICKING
About Bad Greens
Al Rock Creek

Some improvements are under
way at Rock CreeF Park on those
adamant-surfaced putting greens,
but the whole greens layout needs
rebuilding, according to the boys
who play in the daily Scotch four
Somes.
One Well-knoWn player says the
green's are so covered with bunch
grass that the usual procedure is
to putt with mashie, and even
then three or four shots on the
green are not uncommon.
S. G.. Leoffler, who operates Rock
Creek Park and the other public
courses in Washington, says the
green's have little foundation and
all need dressing of soil to cover
the rock which lies just under the
grass. But why isn't it done, ask
the boys who use the course.

have scored AZ victories out Of II
tries for percentage of .545.
That isn't as impressive as the
Southwest's mark Of $50, but the

The Far West, thanks to generally

got help in swelling the percentage
from Texas Tech and Rice.
The East was thankful for Lons

Wittenburg and Dayton as major
factors in its mark of 10 wins out

Southern Teams Lag.
The failure of Tulane, Duke and
Louisiana State to win important
games hurt the South's percentage,
while Denver's demise was only
partially offset by victories chalked
up by Utah and Brigham Young
over Oregon State.
The Far Western teams had some
good and bad days in compiling their
average OF .538. Most recent sue

notable setbacks to Western prestige
were victories by Nebraska over

Hockey League standings today
the first time they have been in sole
possession of the No spot since the
season opened.
1t was a combination of circum-

Canadiens plus 81 victory for the
Chicago Blackhawks over the
Toronto Maple Leafs.
Of the two. possibly the Hawks
victory was the more stunning. The
best they had done up to last night
was a tie in two overtime matches
