Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-College
football, which opened its season
away back there in August, comes
to the end of the 1943 trail next
Saturday with the annual January
/ bowl extravaganzas.
1t will be the third bowl display
OF World War II and while the con-
flict has taken away some of the
nonathletic trappings, has made
travel difficult and perhaps low
cred the quality of play, an esti-
mated 100000 spectators have tick.
cts Tor the seven struggles.
Tulsa, University of Washington
and Southwestern Louisiana Insti-
tute all will barge into their op-
ponents with unbeaten records al
though the West Coast Huskies are
the only ones to escape without the
blemish of tie.
Huskies Virtually Untried.
The IL teams which earned their
bowl rights through the regular
season compiled an aggregate record
OF 10 victories, IA defeats and five
ties. The remaining two contestants.
the Eastern and Western All-Stars,
make only the one appearance each
year.
The Huskies. virtually untried de-
spite their four victories, are the
foes Of Southern California in the
Rose Bowl, where arrangements
have been made for $4,000 fans
The Pasadena clash, daddy of all
the bowl affairs, this year decides
the Pacific Coast title.
Tulsa, making its third consecu-
tive January l appearance in
bowl, is made up of probably the
greatest collection of athletic 4-Fs
in captivity. Its Sugar Bowl foe
is a Georgia Tech eleven that head
lines Guard John Steber and Half
back Eddie Prokop.
Miamis Orange Bowl, where the
seating capacity has been cut to
$4,000. offers two civilian teams in
Louisiana State and Texas Aggies
Their meeting will be a replay OF
their October tussle when the
Cadets stopped the 20O-pound Steve
Van Buren, long enough to defeat
L. S. u, % to 13.
Randolph Field Team Unique.
In contrast, the Cotton Bowl at
Dallas has the only completely mill
tary eleven to see action that day.
The Randolph Field Flyers, beaten
only once during the season and
with the great Glenn Dobbs at quar-
tier, are booked agaisnt Texas u, an
other once beaten outfit. They will
entertain $4,000.
Some $4,000 will see the East
West game at San Francisco. where
the profits again will go to various
Shrine hospitals and war relief Or
ganizations.
The Oil Bowl makes its debut at
Houston with the Arkansas Aggies
and Southwestern Louisiana trying
to play off their 1920 tie of mid
season.
Southwestern of Texas, victor
over Texas and strong enough to tie
Tulsa, and New Mexico are the Sun
Bowl opponents at Ell Paso and both
have promised that their share of
the profits win be donated to chari-
ties.

Atlanta High Wins Blue, Gray
Game Watched by Only 300

High, 13 to 0. in the wartime edi-
ton of the annual Blue and Gray
football game.
Only an estimated 300 spectators
braved a drizzle of rain and near
freezing temperatures as the high
schools replaced the customary
teams made up OF college stars from
the North and South.
Boys High converted its first real
break into a touchdown. Camp re-
covered Meridian tumble on the
Mississippians' 44-yard line. Chas-
tian made yards on an end
run, then 1ecraw broke loose for IS
to score standing up.
A punt by Sewell rolled dead on
the 5-yard line and McWilliams'
kick from behind the goal line car
ried only to the Meridian 10. In
three plays Ewing carried it over
Lecraw converted.
Field conditions were so bad that
four footballs were used alternately,
and the passing attacks were in
effective and punts fell short of the
usual average.
