NEW YORK, Nov. 1o.-Our
guess is that Duke is the team in
line for the Rose Bowl bid now,
even if Wallace Wade's last trip
to the coast wasn't a bowling
success. Last Saturdays games
provided all the excuses the boys
on the coast needed for not in
viting Texas of Fordham. If Buff
Donelli really wants to straighten
out the conflict between his two
football teams, why doesn't he
take the Duquesne players along
to the Steelers? They'd probably
do as we'll as the current pros
and then Duquesne could make
a lot of rumors look good by CIV
