The
SPoRTLIGHT
All Bowl Teams Seem
Of Equal Strength
Bv GRANTLAND RICE,
snec1al Correspondent Of The Star.

special Correspondent VI Inc SIah'
LOS ANGELES, Dec. % (N.AN.A).
From numerous quarters of the
football map your correspondent
has been invited to crawl out on
the end of a swaying limb and
thereby act as target for the javelin
tossers. He has been asked to name
the best of the bowl games, not so
much from the spectacle involved
and the gate receipts, but strictly
from an angle of football values.
Which should be the best game
of the four at Pasadena, Dallas, New
Orleans and Miami?
In the first place, it requires no
expert prophetic twist to say that
these happen to be the best bowl
e. Nes vet arranged. They take In
eight of the best teams in the coun-
trv-not the eight best with Mime
sofa. Michigan and Northwestern
on the sidelines-but eight teams
as good as any you could name.
The three best teams of the East
Boston College, Fordham and
Georgetown-are meeting the three
best teams of the South and the
Southwest - Tennessee, MISSISSIPPI
State and Texas A. and NJ And the
two best teams west of the MlsslS-
sippi meet at Pasadena, where STAN
ford and Nebraska put on their

Condition, Mental Attitude
Decide Many Bowl Games

Either, or both, may be beaten
But it will take quite a chunk OF
high-clasS football to turn the trick
If they take their Southern lnVaSlons
as seriously as they should.
You might be surprised to know
how many bowl games are decided
by condition and mental ATTITUDES.
Those teams merely looking for a
holiday iaunt usually get 1t squarely
under either the right or left ear
especially facing some opponent that
is out to win.
With no intention of ducking the
issue. we see no reason for craving
out on the end of a limb that has
neither cherries nor blossoms TO
pick. To forecast the best or the
most thrilling game from this bowl
list would be only rank guess.
Tennessee and Boston College
give the Sugar Bowl the only two
unbeaten teams on the list Both
are powerful-offensively and de-
fensively. But there is always the
chance their defensive strength
might oVefpOWeT EACH dItIaEh'
don't believe this will happen. But
anything can happen in football
game.
The same thing might happen in
any other bowl battle. The facts
are that all eight teams have quite
enough offensive strength to churn
I'D all the action needed to keep
millions of football fans keyed up,
not overlooking some 100000 spec
tators.
Any one of these four bowl games
should be we'll worth seeing.
Nebraska should be strong enough
to give a better angle on Stanford's
true value. The other bowls will
help settle steamy arguments over
the comparative strength Of the
North and the South in meetings
among six of their outstanding
squads.
This is our only answer from the
base of the tree, not from the end OF
any limb, where the rocking motion
can become unpleasant.

be, but the majority of the leading

The freshmen had an unsuccessful
season, losing to Washington and
Lee, V. M. l., Western Maryland and
Georgetown after tying Dickinson
Seminary in the curtain-raiser, but
a session of spring training will help
iron out the rough spots and weld
them into fairly smooth varsity

well heeled with the stuff that
makes your creditors happy.
Golf has all kinds of freak bets.
And there are plenty of smart boys
around the locker rooms to take 'em
or lay 'em.
How about this one, for instance2
A big tournament is on and some
smooth boy comes up and says,
How would you like to wager that
no one plays 10 holes in this event
in par You'd grab it. for par is
little more than a symbol to the top
pros. And how would you like to
wager that there wouldn't be three
brides in a row by some player or
that some one wouldn't bag an ace?
The catch in The first one, of
course, is that all the holes must
be played in par, without a buzzard
or birdie. That isn't very often
done. The catch in the others Is
that you must pick your player
for odds-and you might not happen
to catch the hot boy or the man
who scores the ace.

A penny a hole is an innocent

you might think, if you started out
with a bet of a penny a hole. But
beware the fellow who says, Sure.

we'll double it at each hole"
If you happen to go for this in

If you lose the eighteenth hole you'll
drop more than $1,000. And it will
all start at penny a hole.

Don't waste your sympathy on
Maryland, m'hearties. because the
Terps are coming up with a pretty
fair football team next season or
a whole corps of veteran observers
miss their guesses.
Only the powers that be know
what changes, if any, are contem-
plated in the coaching setup. One
definite decision seems to be that
Dick Harlow is not coming to College
Park, this year or any year.
There is no criticism of Jack Fa-
ber's work or that of the other
coaches. Indeed, the coaching
board, of which Faber was the nomi-
nal head, acquitted itself honorably,
considering the paucity of material.

But the important changes next
year will not be on the coaching
staff, but in the squad personnel.
Maryland loses Joe Murphy and
Bob Smith, the men who put the
powder in its attack and held the
line together. respectively, and their
loss cannot be underestimate. 1t
also loses nine other reliable, if not
brilliant, young men and any coach
will tell you a seasoned reserve who
strikes an even balance over the
season is worth a half dozen in
and-out sophomores.
Returning are Mearle DuVall, on
whom certain pro scouts are sold
as a passer; Bernie Ulman, a rap
idly improving back; Elmer Rigby
and John Cordyack, fine blocker
and defensive player. You can
paste Master Rigby's name in

the bus hit the car driven by Sam
Berger, but alleges Berger was
at fault, as he was driving fast
and reckless1y in front of the
bus.

driving south on Fourth street
when the collision occurred.
