ROSE BOWL TILT
Crusading Huskers Are Out
To Beat Shaughnessy's
Famed T-FOrmati0n
BY ROBERT MYERS

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 31.-B
THE hopes and dreams of two fine
ly matched football teams and thous-
and upon thousand of loyal follow
ers mounted tonight as the hour
drew near for the clash between Ne
braska and Stanford in the 26th con-
secutive post season classic in the
Rose Bowl.
Fair weather was promised. The
big stadium, its turf a little soggy
from recent rains, was ready to re-
ceive its annual full house-some-
thing like 80, 900 persons.
Nebraska's determined Cornhusk-
ers want to win this game more than
any other. The university is winding
up a year long celebration Of so
years of football.
Stanford, the Cinderella team of
the West, undefeated champions Of
the Pacific Coast conference and still
favored to triumph, goes into a gol'
den anniversary celebration at mid
night tonight.
The Husker 1910 record bears one
smirch. They fell before mighty
Minnesota, but went on to defeat In
diana, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma,
Iowa, Pittsburgh, Iowa State and
Kansas State and capture their ninth
Big Six conference title in 10 years
of play.
Stanford, with C Clark
Shaughnessy taking over the reins
for the first time after a disastrous
1889 campaign, rose from rags to
riches and bowled over San Francis
CO University, Oregon, Santa Clara,
Washington State, Southern Cali
fornia, Washington, U. c. L. A, Ore
gon State and California.
The Indians ran up ITS points,
their opponents u. Nebraska scored
10 points and held the enemy to 81.
Stanford's backfield, guided by all
America Quarterback frankie AL
bert, boasts speed and a dangerous
passing attack based on Shaughnes-
sy's now famed Information style of
play. 1t generally is rated an edge
over the Husker backs-which might
be erroneous.
Nebraska may have the better line.
Warren Alison, right guard, was all
America, but several others along.
side him pressed hard for equal rec
ignition. AS a team, the HuskerS
hold a slight advantage in weight,
and with eight seniors, and three
juniors ON the starting eleven, as
compared to Stanford's three seniors,
four juniors and four sophomore
linemen, packs a more experienced
club.
Eddie Schwartzkopf, the Husker
left guard and a s%lashing defensive
man, remained a doubtful quantity
from the flue today, but it is highly
possible he will be in at the opening
whistle. Stanford's second string
fullback, Milt Vucinich, a valuable
play.
The Indians, taking their colors
into the Rose Bowl for the seventh
time, were quoted as lis favorites
by the wagering faction. The game
starts at 2:15 o'clock (Pacific Stand
ard Time).
There was no New Years Eve
celebration for either squad. That
will come tomorrow night. One will
celebrate more than the other.

FAV0RITE in TILT
$4,000 To See Sugar Bowl
Game Between Two Unbeat-
en- Teams Of The Nation
BY MORTIMER KREEGER

NEW DeC. o1~Wf-
Twas the night before New Years
and there was a distinct belief
among the half-million residents
and almost so, 900 visitors in Sugar
Bowl town that T~ennessee's Vols
would beat Boston colleges Eagles
tomorrow in a football game filled
with all the tricks two master grid
magicians could pull out of a head
guard.
The setup was this:
The two highest scoring teams
in the country, both primed and
raring to 60, each with an attack
strong in all departments, and
each known to be drilled in many
plays seldom or never seen on the
gridiron.
To witness this struggle, $4,000
spectators have long since bought
up all the space in Tulane stadium.
The game will start at Ills p. m.
(CST) after an hour or more of
pageantry featured by the maneu-
vering of the Bengal guards, drill
team composed Of beautiful school
girls from Orange, Texas.
Local betting establishments
were asking Tennessee hackers to
lay down five dollars on the chance
Of winning two, but Bostonians
wagering five will win nine if their
team comes through.
A prediction of occasional show
ers slightly dampened hopes of the
Bostons who depend more upon
passes than do the Southerners.
However, it was conceded that no
thing short of storm or flood could
prevent both teams from going all
out with every weapon known to
the game.
Tennessee's edge comes from
superior reserve strength, especial
ly in the backfield.
The Eagles depend almost en-
tirely upon Charlie O'Rourke, Mike
Halovak, Frank Maznicki and
Hank Toczylowski to carry the Of
fensive burden while the Vols
have three tophight tailbacks and
at least a couple of good boys at
all other positions.
Some sports writer's, neverthe-
less, favored the Eagles, impress
ed with their exuberant spirits and
fine physical condition. Support
ing this view was the opinion that
the Tennesseeans, indicated in
three seasons and playing in their
third bowl game, might be over
confident and a little shy on prime
condition because of their short
training period.
Leading the Tennessee delega-
ton of some 1000 rooters was
Governor Prentice Cooper, who
predicted a Volunteer victory by
two touchdowns. Mayor Maurice
j. Tobin of Boston arrived today
with 1000 of his townsmen, join
ing thousands already here, and
his forecast was Boston college q,
Tennessee Z.
The coaches are less optimistic.
Each one, Bob Neyland of Tenn
essee and Frank Leahy of Boston,
has called the other team the best
in the country. Neither would pre-
dict the outcome.
Both teams will come into New
Orleans tomorrow morning from
their training quarters on the near
by Gulf coast.
Although the Tennesseeans have
claimed a substantial disadvantage
in weight, official figures from the
two schools reveals the Vol line
up will average 191 pounds to 1913
for Boston. The Eagles line aver
age is greater, 2o2 to 1876, and the
Vols have the edge in the back
field, 1874 to 178.

You might disagree, but u noml-

day is the Sugar Bowl tilt between
the Tennessee Volunteers and the
Boston College Eagles.

we've talked to seem to prefer this
game as the No. 1 of the day.
