 New York, Dec. lo-(Up)-It will Do played in Carolina instead of California and the background of purple mountains will be replaced by one of bright green pine trees, but the Rose Bowl football game will go on despite the war--s 900 miles removed from the verdant canyon in which 1t has grown to fame since its inaugural in 1916.
 Tn . move almost unprecedented In gridiron history, the game has been switched lock, stock and ticket windows from Pasadena, Calf, to Duke stadium in Durham, N. o. But except for 0 diminished seating ca- nac:ty-Duke stadium will hold only Sb,000 persons against the Rose arenas 8o,00O-the game will be played the same as always. With Pacific Coast conference rules prevailing and the tournament of Roses committee handling all details, it will bring to grips the undefeated and united Blue Devils Of Duke, second highest scoring team in the nation, and the under. manned by stubborn Beavers of Oregon State, who won renown as the Cinderella boys of io4l.
 For Duke, the eastern repreSent- ative in this oldest and most famous of the Jan. l games, the appearance in Rose contest will be the second In four years. For Oregon, the western representative and the home team despite the unprece- dented locale of the playing field, the game will be the first to which the Beavers have ever been invited.
 Duke Well Balanced
 The general makeup of the Duke eleven is best characterized as one of fine balance and well-rounded strength. There is no dominant tralt to Dc found on the team, but neither is there an outstanding weakness.
 Oregon State already has been established an 0-6 underdog and the chances are the odds will widen before game time. That is because the Beavers, while they gave up only 8 points in nine games, have shown neither sustained drive nor fiashy attack. They are tough athletes, who are not beaten without Q fight but they don't form great team.
 Here is how the rivals compare:
 Offense-Duke hes oil the ad. vantage here. The Blue Devils paced the nation by scoring 3ii points, gaining S,33b yards and rolling up isT tirBt downs for averages of S4,0 points, S70.7 yards and ie first downs per game. They gained g.. 3io yards rushing and i,0ie passing. oregon scored i2S points, amaased 2,2S0 yards and collected il8 first downs for averages of I4 points, 24e.e yards and B first downs, StateS yardage was split in favor of rushing-I,4so yards to 760 pass.

 Defense Edge To Duke
 petense-C Contrary to popular be- Nes, Duke holds Q hairline edge in this department, too, having yielded q points, 1,4i2 yards and 76 first downs for averages of 4.B5 points, iS7 yards and 0.3 first downs. Duke surrendered e4i yards rushing and 67l passing. State gave up 30 points, l,T21 yardS@004 rushing and 73a passing-and e2 first downs for ay. erages of 3.6 points, i02 yards and D.i first downs.
 Manpower-Another vote for the team from Durham, ". 0. Duke has 2 squad of 48 players and Is four deep at every position except fuli- back, although only ie of these men won letters previously to l04l, O., 5. Q. on the other hand, has only S2 players and is desperately shy of reserves ct center and right guard but the Beavers long have been known for their iron man" feats, Twenty are lettermen.
 Coach!ng-Wallace Wade has gone to the Rose Bowl five times before: once as Q player for Brown in i9i6: three times as coach of Alabama in 1928, 1927 and 1881, and once as coach of Duke in 1889. He is Al strict disciplinarian, has proved extremely versatile in adapting his system to available material: and Is regarded as the dean of Southern coaches. Lon Stiner of Oregon, at SS the youngest coach in the Pacific conference, is an easy-going man Who year after year is forced to build teams out of the most scanty material in his league. He has never reached Q Bowl before, but in 1899 lost only one of II games, for his best record.
 Beavers' Defense Varies
 systems-Wade's tactics always depend on his material, but he op- crates from the single wing and usually produces rugged lines. His left halfback-in this case souho- more Tom Davis-and his fullhack Winston Siegfried-handle the ball on most plays, while the right half and quarter block. Stiner fol- lows the same lines, except that his right half carries the ball and the left half calls signals, passes and kicks.
 Outstanding players-Mike Kar- mazin at tackle and Steve Lach at right half, both Pennsylvania boys, are the outstanding Duke perform erS and both drew many All-Amer- ica votes. Lach is an inspirations: player and one of the finest block CTS in the South. Siegfried, at full- back, ended the season as the top scorer In the Southern conference. Oregon'S top lineman is Quentin 0reenough, an All-C Coast center, who calls defensive, signals. Don Dur
