 NOW HUNDRED
 FOR ROSE BOWL
Lafayette Gets Orange Bowl Bid-FOrdharll
 Hopeful
BIZ LESLIE AVERY

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York, Nov. 27-(UP)-The final football Saturday finds little to be decided in the east, with the exception of bowl bids, and that leaves the center of the stage to Army and Navy.
 The service schools may not have the best teams in the country, but their climax battle on the green dyed turf at Philadelphia before more than 100000 fans always fur nishes a bell-ringing finish to the grid season.
 Boston College has only to get by Holy Cross Saturday to take the eastern championship hands down, and one look at their records leaves no doubt as to the outcome. Boston College, which has rolled up 323 points in crushing nine straight opponents, looks like 8 sure thing over a Crusader eleven beaten four times and tied once.
 Next to the Army-Navy game, bowl bids are of paramount interest tn the east, and many possibilities are being discussed.
 They say Boston College is signed, sealed and delivered to the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans on New Years day on condition it beats Holy Cross Saturday. This is as good a guess as any, but just suppose the all- conquering Eagles were invited to tho Daca nAvrl YYoya NAnnattafia,ac passed the stage at which Boston College could turn down the Sugar Bowl invitation and go to PaSa- dena?
 Texans Out?
 With word coming from the west coast that the Texas AggieS are not being discussed fayorably in con- nection with Rose Bowl bid, Bos- ton College and Tennessee are about the only other eligibles.
 Fordham, finishing the season against N. Y. U. this week, still is hopeful of a Sugar Bowl invitation, but 1t was learned reliably that Rom officials would consider Orange or Cotton Bowl bids. Lafayette's Leop- ards, who finished the season un- beaten and united last week, al- ready have been asked to play in the Orange Bowl.
 When the chips have been count. ed, Penn undoubtedly will be rank ed No. 2 in the East. Beaten only by Michigan, Penn clinched Ivy league honors by nosing out Cor nell last week and Francis X. Rea- gan emerged as the top back of the section. Fordham, upset by St. Marys, and Georgetown, beaten only by Boston College, are the candidates for third and fourth honors in the east.
 In addition to the Army Navy, and Fordham-N. Y. U. games, the final eastern program also includes Columbia Brown, and DuqueSne- Carnegie Tech. Pitt goes to Dur ham to wind up against Duke.

[. L. P. Mixed
 League
By Lefty
After Suckers.

The five ranking bowlers of the Mixed or faster league would like to bowl the five best bowlers from the Mems or much slower league, knowing full well that after those who bowl in both leagues have been eliminated the best that the Mems league can offer will be none too good.
 The Mixed Leagues starting line up is: Ed Culhane, Joe May, Jack Kearney, George Lynch and Wild Wilburforce Knight, the Naugatuck Supersalesman. Our lads are not in- terested in bowling for fun or mar bleS, but would like to have a lit- tie oday on hte outcome.
 Should the Mems League accept this challenge, 1t is respectfully suggested that Tom Flanagan, Vel. fare Supervisor, cover their repre- Senetatives with blanket insurance for their competitive effort is likely to prove too much.
 The Mixed League is sponsoring a mystery ride one week from this Thursday. Doris Braun, the young lady in charge of arrangements, has mapped out the route as fol- lows: Starting at point "A" proceed along route FAB" to "B". Turn right at B" and follow route "BC" to "C". Then go from point e" to point ID" where you will receive further instructions.
 The map as drawn by Doris fol- lows tradition for, looking for our destination, discovered that TX" marks the spot.
 Nice Going
 The Secretary,S records show that the following have not been absent once during the first round: Jack KearLey, George Lynch, Joe May, Russ Hicock, Walter Nelson, Ed Lezesky, Carl Dillon, Tom Egan, Win Duff Charlie Byron, Frank Tehan, Milt Huffman, Pat Dwyer, Al West, John McNaught, Walter Schlegal, Peg Dunn, Alice Benson, Doris Braun, Betty Bergin, Angie Mambruno, Helen Roberts, Nina Birs, Margaret Fitzmaurice, Peg Reynolds, Marie Dalton and Ann McDonough.
 Quote
 Wild Wilburforce Knight, custo- mer representative from Naugatuck, ended his column in the November Spotlight by advising one and all to Ask Tom Egan who is going to win the Mixed League?"
 will has already lived to regret those words. While his team was dropping three points Monday, Will was forced to listen to Doris Braun, Al West and Joe Nal, three Jour- neymen hecklers, yelling: "Ask Tom Egan who is going to win the Mix ed League"
 Will is a great asset to our league for he adds color. The color he add- ed Monday night was a brilliant scarlet and it all came from his face.

NOtre Dame Grads To Direct Eagles, Crusaders Game
BY TOM NOONAN ,itAd Press Staff COFreSnOndt

(UnJeu ffeSS SteIh GOEreoPVnU9HAV
 Boston, November 27. = (UP) = Two youthful football coaches who once played for Notre Dame match gridiron strategy for the second time when traditional Jesuit Rivals Boston College and Holy Cross clash Saturday, but the setting differs strikingly.
 Wren Frank Leahy of Boston Col lege and Joe Sheeketski of Holy Cross sent their teams on the field here last fall, they had gained na- tional recognition in their first term as head coaches and were bat ting for the mythical New England championship and a Bowl bid.
 Holy Cross entered that game a slender favorite. Both teams had compiled six-game win streaks af- ter early season upsets by southern opponents before they could assimi- late their new systems. Boston Col legt surprised Holy Cross, 14-c, and went on to the Cotton Bowl to lose a 6-3 decision to Clemson.
 Tops
 Today Boston College leads the eastern pigskin parade and ranks as the nations highest-scoring eleven as result of its greatest sea- son in history. The high-flying eagles have toppled nine consecu- tive opponents with their amazing combination of weight and speed, power and finesse. Their victims in- clude Tulane, Temple, Manhattan, Georgetown and Auburn.
 In sharp contrast, Holy Cross has struggled to the climatic clash with its poorest record in decade. The crusaders have a mediocre mark of four wins, four losses and tie.
 The Eagles, who have totaled 313 points while allowing 52. already have clirched mythical New Eng land honors and triumph over Holy Cross would give them undisputed possession of the eastern title and probably a second straight bowl game. Several of their players in- cluding Chuckin' Charlie O'Rourke, triple threat, and end pcetaoinnuuu Triple Threat, and End Gene Good reault are in the running for All America awards.
 Point For Point
 Holy Cross, hampered all season by the injury jinX, has counted only IF points to 1l8 for the opposition though the Crusaders have a pie thora of capable backs. But the crusaders have played only one set- up to four for Boston College.
 AS in nose traditional games, previous records and statistics mean little when Boston College and Holy Cross meet.
 Coach Leahy, who seemed to in- herit predecessor Gil Dobie's pen- chant for pessimistic predictions. startled local sportswriters and fans after his team trounced auburn when he flatly stated that the Eagles would defeat Holy Cross. This was the same Leahy who expressed con- cern over the Eagles chances against little St. Anselm's which B. C.. Drubbed, 55-0.
 Sheeketski, who talked freely and frankly about his team last season, has become a serious and conserva- tive leader under the strain of coli- stant misfortune. He has confined his pre-game talk to tte promise that "our boys will be up mentally for this game.

Bob Boppeler, the Great Profile, with the apple cheeks" apparently had bad attack of charlie horse for he rolled a putrid PA against Jack Roberts varsity five. Lady Luck smiled on him however as he was awarded the attendance prize. Some people get all the breaks.
 All was gloom in the meter room Monday morning as both the first and Junior teams did the Ohio State act by not taking point from their opponents. Team A were the vic- tims of a shut out by Construction A while Naugatuck scored a clean sweep from Team B. Frank Byrnes has sent out notices for skull prac- tice Sunday mornings at 500 o'clock in John Moriarty's COW shed. Johnnie Herr's Sales B proved a tartar to the Brides of Benny Gold stein. After the smoke had risen the score was Sales B 4-Collectors o. Jack Kearney tried many of the points he learned the week before while watching the B. C.-George- town game but they went for nought as Win Duff, Jack Herman and Otto Moulliet evidently were throwing Hula Hula balls. Too many curves.
 Congratulations to Bob Lagerquist on his promotion in the company ranks. Mark Doran will be looking to him to promote few victories for his team from now on.
 What riding Bob Nelson took from his teammates when he missed spare after spare. He can take it. He gets them when they count so don't be surprised if Bob losses the laughs right back this week.
 Has anyone seen a little roly poly man answering to the name of Tony Lauro? If you have get in touch with Ray Ahearn. You see Rays team runs up against Johnnie De- Vito's Metermen this week and this one he wants to take. Oh boy!
 Howard Humphries will keep his secrets to himself after this. Last week he whispered to Nick Reno that the Storeroom were on the short end in the second game which they were unaware of but not to say anything about it. Nick didn't. He simply told about a hundred others in a stage whisper which could be heard in the center. Oh you Nickie.
 Walt Nelson and Ray Beardslee, the extension twins, had their per- fume balls under control and had their scores of the season. Ray had his famous hip twist working to per- lection while Waits Stamper was answering daddy's call.
 Did Tommie Egan lay the law down to Messrs. F. Smith and R. Sumpf Monday morning as the re- suit of the sinking of the Public Relations ship for three points? Whatever it was they looked sheep ish after the tirade.
 Robert Peary Lee got his bearings after the first game when he rolled a good golf score of 76.
 How the mighty have fallen! Im- agine Russ Hicock rolling 92 and 93.
