Some Upsets
That Sugar Bowl victory of the
Eagles owe Tennessee came as an
upset in most respects. The Ma
rooms, victory over Georgetown
wasn't an upset as both teams were
rated about even before yesterdays
game. Fordham almost upset the
Aggies and Western Reserve did up
set Tempe.
But j, that Stanford triumph over
Nebraska the miracle boys proved
that they were no flukes. They Won
the hard way and did the job up
brown too.
The West pulled an upset over the
East and therein lies the fact that
about half of the games ran true to
pre-game form.
There were no W~alk-aways on the
card and the hackers of the various
games should feel right proud of
themselves for putting on games
that were SO close.
How We Fared
We didn't do so well in the bowl
game pickings. But taking it all
along there isn't any kick.
We guessed right on Stanford and
Texas A. & M, and missed out on
the Georgetown-Mississippi State and
Tennessee-Boston College games.
Exactly SO per cent correct.

RED CATS DEFEAT
TEMPE, 26 TO IS
Western Reserves Powerful
And Tricky Running Wins
Sun Bowl Contest

Ell PASO, Tex, Jan. 1.-LR-A
powerful and tricky band of Red Cats
from Western Reserve university
overcame the speed merchants of
Tempe, Ariz., State Teachers rs to
10 in the Sun Bowl today. Spec.
tacular running attacks by both elev'
ems kept 1000 fans On their feet.
Coming from behind in the second
half, the big Cleveland team tied the
score in the third period, then added
two more touchdowns in the fourth
to maintain the jinx that has kept
the host border conference champion

classic. Both Of Arizona States

fake punt, Henshaw wiggled through
the entire Western Reserve team
and dashed 102 yards to cor
Other Tempe backs, Joe Herman
DEE, Pitts and Davis, gave the Red
Cats plenty of trouble throughout the
game, but the fasteners pulled a
triple reverse which caught Tempe
flat footed on three occasions.
Halfback Johnny Ries and Dick
Booth led the Western Reserve raZ-
zle-dazzle and both kept Tempe in
hot water by booming his punts into
the coffin corner consistently. Ries
scored two Western Reserve mark
ers in the last period, the first on
a triple evers after he made So
yards on the same play only a half
minute before.
Near the end, players of both
teams almost came to blows when
officials ruled a Tempe pass good
interference with the receiver.
After the game the players amiably
shook hands.
Arizona State outplayed the Red
Cats in every department, running
up nine first downs to the Cleveland
teams six and gaining IS yards
through the air to SO for Western
Reserve. 1t was the Red Cats ball
handling and Booths punting that
provided the margin of victory.

Just before the end of the first
period the Fordhams started a

of a gallant goal line stand by the
Aggies.

Eshmont then spinning over right

ratified the other wing to the five.
But there the Aggies arose to
