The

Ring Experts Are Divided
On Buer VS.. Conn
BY GRANTLAND RICE,


NEW YORK, Dec. 3 CN.AN.AO.-
Actor Max Baer sends in word that
he would be much pleased to meet
Billy Conn as soon as the Baer
show ends its run.
Conn is one fighter I'd like to
says, 'and I also think it is a fight
that would draw"
Mike Jacobs says he and Conn
both are agreeable at any date Max
may announce.
"Baer won't have to look for Conn.,"
Jacobs says. Billy will be waiting
for him."
This is prospect that at least has
started a number of early arguments
We put the matter up to eight fight
experts, whose vote was evenly
divided.
The Conn supporters figured that
Bills far greater speed and boxing
skill would tie Max into a number
of knots; that Baer would be lucky
to land a punch. The Baer con-
tingent took the angle that Baer'S
weight margin of 46 pounds-22l to
175-would be entirely too much.
Also that Baer, knowing Conn is no
smashing hitter, would be in a
different mood; that he would be
willing to wade in to take few in
order to land.
This latter idea means a good
deal. Baer would be badly outboXed; a;
but he still is a terrific hitter.
1T also might interest you to
know" Max says, that I am keep
ing in shape and will continue to
do the same straight through. You
won't have to worry about that part
of it."

Texas Ags Are Seen
As Preferring Bid
To Cotton Bowl
Seem Certain to Get 1t;
Miumi Contest Also
Theirs if Desired
By the Associated Press.


DALLAS, Dec. 3.-Somewhat re-
covered from the knockout blow that
shook them out of the Rose Bowl,
the Texas Aggie football players
drifted back to their college station
campus today to formally vote on
plans, if any. for another post
season appearance.
One game-the Orange Bowl in
Miami, Fla-was theirs for the
taking.
But the feeling was general that
the AggieS would voice preference
for the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, al
ready half arranged by Fordham
University's acceptance.
Await Saturdays Game.
Not until Saturday night after the
Southern Methodist-Rice game at
Houston will the Southwest Confer
ence host team for the Cotton Bowl
be known. Faculty representatives
of the seven schools will cast a
telegraphic vote.
Although the winner of the S. NJ.
U.-Rice game will jointly share the
conference title with the Aggies, it
was virtually conceded that the
Cadets would be the Cotton Bowl
choice. The Aggies. in stretching
their great two-SeaSon record to 19
consecutive triumphs, had thrashed
Rice $50, and Southern Methodist,
1877, before hitting the Texas snag
that wrecked them
Informed sources close to Aggie-
land said it was practically certain
that the players would vote for the
Cotton Bowl in lieu of the Orange
Bowl. wishing to make their last
stand before Texas homefolk against
Fordham.
Follows Rose Bowl Idea.
The Cotton Bowl, with its capacity
of 48.200. would be jammed for that
game. said Cotton Bowl Athletic As
Sociation officials.
Some reports that two Southwest
Conference teams would play in
bowl games-the Aggies In the
Orange Bowl and the winner of the
Rice-S. M. U. game in the Cotton
Bowl, were discounted.
The Aggies planned to stick with
the Texas game, but have made no
definite commitment to any game, it
was stressed.
This is the first year the conference
has sponsored the game and the
move to wait until after Saturdays s
contest to officially declare the host
team fell in with plans to pattern 1t
after the Rose Bowl game. Such is
the procedure on the Pacific Coast.

The Sugar Bowl will be no second

Boston College and Tennessee bring
together not only two of the best
teams, but also two of the better
scoring teams, Both have powerful
lines and both have unusually good
backs, with FoXX and O'Rourke
among the country's best.
The Rose, the Orange and the
Cotton all have strong basic teams
in Stanford, Fordham and Missis-
sippi State, with only a defeat and
a tie against the trio.
This means one of the best bowl
seasons we have known, from Pasa-
dena across Texas and Louisiana
into Miami. This will be especially
true of two such strong teams as
Boston College and Tennessee.
Bod Neyland's Volunteers are
much better now than they were a
