Argument
May Be Settled At
Orange Bowl Game
Can Fancy, Tricky Often
sive Overcome Hard,
Hard And Determined
Charging Line?
(SnecIaI to The Cifizenl

MIAMI, Dec. Is. - Miami S
Orange Bowl football classic.
which has witnessed some of the
finest plays in recent gridiron
history, is expected to be the
proving ground on New Years
j. Day for another question that has
been discussed far and wide
The question is: Can a team
with a lot of fancy and tricky Of
fensive plays execute them when
faced by a team that is equally
noted, but noted for its hard and
determined charging line?
Georgetown Hoyas, veterans of
three seasons of grid play with
only one defeat, will bring to the
/ Orange Bowl an eleven with two
All-American stars and reputa
ton for being the leading ex-
ponents of open play and original
and deceptive offensive strategy.
In Miami this group will meet the
opposition of the hard-charging
Mississippi State line that has
broken up many fine offenSives
and has blasted holes in opposing
lines so that the MaroonS came
through the season without a
single defeat. The Maroons also
have two All Americans.
/ One thing the supporters OF
each team agree upon is this
win, lose or draw, the George
n-Mississippi State clash prob
ably will write new glowing epi-
sodes in the already colorful
Orange Bowl history.
Among the outstanding Orange
Bowl plays was 67-yard touch
down run by Catholic Univer-
sity's Ned Peters against Ole Miss
in 1886, a touchdown that
brought a 2O-19 victory to Catho-
lie in play that set the stadium
wild with excitement.
Another thrill-packed game
was that between the Duquesne
Dukes and the University of Mi
ami Hurricanes in 1884, contest
tn Dukes walked off with, 1877.
The score, however, fails to tell
of the tense moments that mark
ed that ame,-with the Dukes
forging ahead 223 yards by scrim-
mage and almost as much. 2l4
yards, by forward passes.
+, Duquesne also played in an
other Orange Bowl thriller, this
time in 1887 when they nosed out
Mississippi State, 1912, in one of
the hardest fought of all Orange
Bowl classics.
Many breathless moments also
+ occurred in the Tennessee-O Okla
homa game of 1899, which the
/ Vols annexed, 40, after a rough
and tumble. bruising game in
which each team seemed to
strive to outdo the other in vio-
/ lence.
The 1910 Orange Bowl classic
between Georgia Tech and Mis-
souri, is still fresh in the minds of
many as the superlative ball
game. Tech, with amazing speed
and a bag full of razzle-dazzle
plays, held the long end of the
21-7 score, but it was far from a
one-sided game.
+ And so it is that those who
know their Orange Bowl history
are looking forward to January /
for another of those thrill-packed
football games that have become
characteristic of the Orange Bowl

WAGE FARMERS GAN
CHECK SOCIAL SECURITY

Opportunity for social security
account holders to check up on
their old-age and survivors insur-
ance accounts is offered by the

nouncement issued today. Earnest
A. Asleson manager of the field

lar account. There are so million
such accounts, according to Direct
or John ]. Corson of the Boards
Bureau Of Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance, which handles this en-
ormous bookkeeping job. Social Sc
curity accounts are the Social Sc
curity Boards record Of such work
er's wages as reported to the
Government by his employer. The
monthly benefits payable to insur-
ed wage earners, to their wives or
widows, and their children, or to

out, the worker should check UP

portunity is provided not more

venience, a postcard to use in ask
