NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 23.-They
may do as they please in Pasadena
or Dallas, but let there be no loose
talk about any impending Sugar
Bowl tie-up with the Southeastern
Conference, or any other outfit.
In some quarters the early binding
of Tennessee to Sugar Bowl agree
ment has been naively heralded as
a sign the annual affair was headed
for setup which would place the
Southeastern champion on the field
here each New Year Day.
Significantly, one scarcely hears
the thought mentioned in New
Orleans. It's a dead issue.
When it was weak and puny
infant, the Sugar Bowl tugged at
the conferences skirts, seeking
godmother. Twis to no avail Forced
thus to paddle it's own pirogue, the
Sugar Bowl has thrived on the ex-
ercise.
The possibility of any kind Of
tie-up now is unthinkable.

Time Heavy on Hands
OF Hoyas Awaiting
Orange Bowl Tilt
Dreory YuIetide Faced
By Gridders at All
But Deserted School

Hardest part of Georgetown's
participation in the Orange Bowl
football game in Miami is not the
actual playing of the game nor the
long, arduous hours Of practice
which the Hoyas have been having
on the Hilltop. It Is spending to-
day, tomorrow and part Of Christ
mas Day on the all but deserted
campus.
Only those who have had to
stay on at college while classmates
and friends have gone home for
holidays know what dreary,
choking place 1t can be. Noisy,
jovial students have departed, leav-
ing behind empty corridors that
echo strangely If any one has the
rashness to rustic down them. The
usually bright and sparkling quad
rangle suddenly becomes nothing
but big, bare yard with leafless
trees and bushes and brown grass
where only short time before
everything was green.
There's No Happiness.
At night, it's even worse. A few
cold pinpricks of light sneak out
from deserted dormitories where a
handful of hapless students exc out
their holidays in friendless solitude.
Those who can go have gone long
ago and those behind are there from
necessity.
Such is the picture facing George
towns football players early this
week as they wait to depart Christ
mas Day for Miami. For them 1t is
even worse because there are homes
they could be visiting were it not
for the big football game coming
up. 1t is the hardest part of playing
holiday game.
The dull time is being enlivened
as much as possible for Hilltop
footballers. Daily blackboard drills
and light practice sessions are held,
but nothing much can be done that
already hasn't been done. They are
in as good condition as they ever
will be.
Rally Will Be Dull.
Georgetown officials are planning
party for them on Wednesday be-
fore they leave. Each player will
receive present and in the quiet
confines of the yard behind Old
North they will hold their own pep
rally.
Even this rally for the years
most important game will not be as
big as the one for the least of the
games during the regular season
because there will be so few on
hand to wish the players Godspeed
and good luck on their bowl trip.

town, although no tournaments
were held. The public courses were
damned with what attendants said
were the largest crowds of the late

Learned About Hitting From Her.
Compassionate Jim Sullivan, prom
inent Amateur Athletic Union
official, went down to the practice
tee to hit a few shots, lured by the
warm sunshine. Down to the tee
came an letic-looking young
woman.
She dropped her golf bag down
and proceeded to wallop ball after
ball far beyond the best that Sulli-
van could do. Jimmy, a little out
of practice, picked up and quit after
while.
Say, who was that young woman
hitting those shots down on the
practice tee?" he asked Jocko Miller.
"Oh, that was Betty Hicks" said
Miller.
Doesn't mean anything to me-"
said Sullivan. Who is she?"
ooh, she happens to be one of
the very best woman golfers in the
country" grinned Miller. Did she
outhit you?"
mo wonder she was hitting the
ball so much farther than me-"
groaned Sullivan.
Jocko says Sullivan averages about
100 Elizabeth Hicks knocks the
ball around the ordinary course in
80 or better. The California FEM

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-The trials
and tribulations of the Cleveland

them had much effect on the per-
Torrance Of young Louis Boudreau,

Playing his first full year in the
American League, the 23-year-old
rookie led the shortstops in field
ing, participated in the most double
plays, batted 295 and knocked in
101 runs He also was durable,
appearing in 1855 games.
Hudson Is Runnerup.
This spectacular work has
prompted the Chicago Chapter Of
the Baseball Writers Association of
America to recognize him as the
rookie of the year" for the past
campaign. He will receive the j.
Louis Comiskey memorial award,
emblematic of the honor, at the
chapters annual dinner January Z.
A poll of Chicago writer's gave
Boudreau 20 of 81 votes for first
place. Sid Hudson, Washington's
young f1reball pitcher, received the
other two first place votes. Boudreau
polled total of 1876 points and
Hudson was second with 116.

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 23.-Just

but there aren't any football teams

1t might be noted, too, that pa
irons of the Rose Bowl are getting
a little impatient about the mat
ter and yearning for the sight Of a
real. live grid hero.
Now If Clark Shaughnessy, or Biff
Jones, from their training quarters
miles away in Palo Alto and Phoe-
nix, would just send over one player
apiece, even a fourth-string scrub,
provided he has a headgear and
jersey and can walk like an ath-
lete, it might relieve the situation.
These boys could be put into i'm

could be sent around to various foot

color, or Rose Bowl festivals search

as the movie studios use, as living

He'll get a fancy plaque at the
chapters big banquet February 2

baller, old Bob Quinn, president Of
the Boston Bees, gets an award for
meritorious service to baseball over
a long period of years.
Teller richly deserved the recogni-
ton. He won more games last sea-
son than any other pitcher in the
major leagues-27 victories against
II defeats for the Cleveland Indians.
Fifth Hurler to Get Award.
He opened the season with the
only no-hit, no-run game in the
American League. He had the
lowest earned run average, 262; the
most strikeouts, 261; appeared in
the most games, 40, and labored
through the most complete games, 81.
He became the fifth pitcher to
receive the New York Writers
Award since the practice was in
augurated in 1881. The previous
recipients were Bill Terry, Lou
Gehrig, Herb Pennock, Carl Hub
bell, Dizzy Dean, Hank Greenberg,
Tony Lazzeri, Joe Di Maggie, Jimmy
FoxX and Buck Walters.
Greenberg was Feller's only rival
for the honor this year. The big
slugger of the Detroit Tigers was
selected the most valuable player
in the American League and there
was some sentiment for ignoring
precedent and making him the first
player ever to win the writer's favor

The 22-year-old Iowa Highlander
with the famous high hard one"
has been on the border of greatness
ever since he first donned Cleve-
land livery in 1886.
After taking a couple of seasons
to get settled, he won IT games and
lost II in 1888 and led the league in
strikeouts and bases on balls. Then
in 1889 he led the circuit in victories
with "a against 9 defeats, pitched
the most innings. e27, and again
had the most strikeouts and gave
the most bases on balls.
This year he finally blossomed out
in his full glory, shed that annoying
leadership in bases on balls and
stamped himself unquestionably one
of the outstanding pitchers of base
balls present era If not of all time.
