Favored Texas Aggies
Really Underdogs, 6
BH
Coach Contends
By the Associated Press.


MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 30.-The favored
Texas Aggies should be rated no
better than even against Louisiana.
State University in the Orange
Bowl, Coach Homer Norton believes,
because they will go into the New
Year Day classic as psychological
underdogs.
The hardest thing in football is
to beat the same team twice" Nor
ton insisted. THE fact that we de-
feated L. S. U. once this season is
a serious thing to overcome"
The Texas coach had heard about
the L. S. U. Tigers earnest work to
wipe out that early-season, 28-l3,
defeat and he declared the ad-
vantage was all on their side.
My boys feel too sure of them
selves" he said. IT'S a Job to get
them back to their peak. They we're
up there when they played l.. S. U.
before"
Norton wasn't happy today as he
prepared to put his team through
the first practice session after the
long traln ride and one sleepless
night sitting up in a coach. They
gave up their sleeping cars at New
Orleans.
Norton expressed concern over his
oackfleld ace, Marion Flanagan.
The passing star twisted his knee in
the final game with the University
OF Texas and hasn't responded prop
erty.
Flanagan is a key man on Of
fense, and we depend on him." the
Texas coach explained. "If he is not
In top condition it will really hurt"
But Norton admitted he was not
entirely downhearted about pros
poets for the Orange Bowl.
1T will be a great game" he
summed up. 1--WE know L. S. U. and
you can look for plenty of action
and scoring. And as for passing,
well give EN- Texas. They really
throw the ball around out there"

Washington Also Shy
Trio Of lis Regular

BY FRANK FRAWLEY,

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 3O.-The
prospect of fair weather for Satur-

Washington and Southern Califor-
mia has buoyed the Trojans' hopes oi
keeping intact their record of neve,
losing losing = a football game here in SIX
Weather observers said there was
a 10 per cent prospect of fair skies
for the New Year contest which will
decide the Pacific Coast Conference
championship, if nothing else.

ing for workouts yesterday. Those
may be the playing conditions Sat.
urday, for even if there is no more
rain before game time, the Rose
Bowl turf will be trif1e slow.
Comparison Is Discounted.
Maj. Paul Schissler, major dome
at March Fields Army football camp
said he thought Southern Califor-
MAS chances would be greatly en-
hanced by good footing. His team
lost to Washington, 27 to 7, and
whipped the men of Troy, 35 to O
The major, therefore, should be one
of the best judges of the possible
outcome. He has the floor:
Our club that lost to Washington
was not the same that beat South
ern California, and Washington, to-
day, is not the strong team it was
When it took us. The loss of Bal
chunas at tackle, Stoves at half ano
Suslck at full has hurt Washington
washington hasn't played a game
in two months and there's no telling
what effect that will have on Coach
Ralph Welch's squad.
Robinson Rated Great Back.
Southern California's T forma
ton may not be effective in wet
weather. Washington can switch to
its Notre Dame shift if the turf is
heavy and capitalize on the driving
power of Sam Robinson, a really fine
back.
THE March Field players tell me
the Washington guards are good
with Bill Ward especially effective
against running football.
THE Trojans will have to keep an
eye on Al Atkins. He's a fast and
elusive back. He ran back a punt
against us for 70 yards and a touch
down.
Washington is not especially eff
fective at passing. Southern Cali
fornia has the edge there, if weather
conditions make it possible to use
the aerial game. I believe the Tro-
jams have better reserves. 1t looks
like a close game"

Court Here Resumes
Gas RATE Review
Decision Expected
Before Summer Recess

For a second time. the Court of
Appeals had the question of the
Washington Gas Light Co.'S 5000 900
annual increase in rates under con-
siderat too toGay. The courts review
of the case was interrupted by the
recent resignation of Justice Fred
A. Vinson to become director of the
Office of Economic Sterilization
Because of this, the court heard
arguments on the case yesterday
for second time. with Chief Justice
D. Lawrence Grover and Justices
Justin Miller and Morris A. Soper
sitting. Justice Soper is from the
Fourth Circuit Court which sits at
Richmond.
The increase in the gas company's
rates has been in effect since No
vember l6 1t was set aside as in
possible conflict with the Price Con-
troll Act by Judge F.. Dickinson Let's
in District Court in April. Judge
Let's referred the increase back to
the Public Utilities Commission,
which had ordered it, with instruc-
tions that the commission look into
its possible 'intlationary effects in
the light of war conditions. Instead
the gas company and the commission
appealed the case to the higher court
and Judge Let's stayed his judgment
pending the superior decision.
AS the company has about 200 900
meters the proposed rate increase
would add about 9 cents a month to
the bills for homes heated by gas.
The order authorizing the increase
directed that any earnings in the
excess profits brackets should be re-
turned to householders Cold wealth
er and larger population caused
such earnings last year and $4,000
of the increase was returned to Gus
toners this spring, with credits av-
eraging about II cents on their gas
bills
Despite the delay caused by the
change in the court, decision in the
case is still expected before the
summer recess.

June Earnings Escape
2096 Withholding Tax

The new 20 per cent withholding
tax provided in the new revenue bill
now awaiting the Presidents sigma
ture will not be deducted from pay
envelopes paid early in July which
may include money earned in June.
Treasury officials emphasized yes
terday.
The first pay check or envelope on
which the withholding tax will be
effective will be the one in which all
funds were earned in July.
For instance, payday on Tuesday,
July 6, which would include funds
earned partly in June would not be
subject to the withholding tax. But
the deduction could be made in the
next following payday Tuesday, July
l3, because all of the pay would have
been earned in July.
The new revenue bill was amended
along these lines to prevent any con-
fusion such as took place early this
year when the per cent Victory
withholding tax went into effect.
The Victory tax and the new 20 per
cent withholding tax which absorbs
the Victory S per cent, are only
credits" to help save money toward
final payment of the exact tax to be
