Take Me Out to the Bowl Game

the bowl games this year, everyone in the armed forces will get a chance to listen to one or more of the contests. And that's the next best thing to being there in person !. In some cases, it's. even better than that because every seat by a radio is right on the 50-yard line and not behind the popcorn stand in the 18th tier back of the goal posts. .j
 Present plans call for a short ] wave broadcast of the Orange Bowl game in Miami through the facili- ties of the National Broadcasting Company. Ted Husing will be at the mike for this one, which brings to- gether thrice beaten Louisiana State University and once beaten, once tied Texas A. and M. And frankly, fans, this one ain't the game of the century.
 LSU was invited to participate in the Orange Bowl right after dropping a game to Tulane and the Aggies were asked to come along too after they had taken a drub- ping from Texas. The teams al- ready met once this season with the Aggies winning, 28 to 13.
 There is some talk, too, of short waving the Rose Bowl game at Pasadena, most storied of all the New Years classics, to points in the Pacific theater. The opponents in this one are the University of Southern California, winner of the Coast conferences southern title, and the University of Washington, top team in the northern end of the conference.
 The Washington Huskies played only four games this season and won them all. use played nine games, lost two. The Trojans beat Amos Alonzo Stagg's powerful College of the Pacific eleven, to O; but lost to the San iDego Naval Training Station, 10 to ', and to March Field, 35 to 0.
 Best game of the day will be the Sugar Bowl clash between the Ram bling Wrecks of Georgia Tech and undefeated Tulsa University. The Wrecks, beaten by Notre Dame, Duke and Navy, are favored over Tulsa which played a less rigorous schedule.
 Top man on the Tech totem pole is Eddie Prokop, one of the best backs in the country. Prokop can run, kick and block. And you ought to see him initiate four Hawaiians.
 Then there is the Cotton Bowl game. This one will be played in Dallas, Texas, between the fliers of Randolph Field and the Univer- sity of Texas. These teams each lost one game-to powerful South western of Texas.
 Randolph Field rates the nod over Texas because of the presence of Glnn Dodds in the f1iers' bachield. Dodds, All-American star at Tulsa last year, broke Sammy Baugh's record of pitching seven worward passes for touchdowns in Randolph Fields 53 to IA win over the Wake Island Marines one Saturday last November and the very next week he completed % more passes, three for touchdowns, in the Pliers 20 to 13 victory over the North Texas l Aggies.
 Because of his experience, Dodds was generally overlooked by All American pickers this year and so was Bob Steuber, of DePauw, top | scorer in the country. Dodds played three years with Tulsa and had an offer from the Chicago Cardinals | and Steuber, star at Missouri last year, is the property of the Chicago 1 Bears.
 The fans back home are still clamoring for a post-season game between Norte Dame and some pro- fessional team, but Notre Dame had turned thumbs down on this propo- sition. It's a we'll known fact that a II n.
