OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 25.-
Dan Rogers, head of the Cotton
Bowl Committee, announced here
today the Oklahoma Aggies would
meet Texas Christian, winner of
the Southwest Conference, in a
football game at Dallas January 1.
Rogers announcement was made
over the public address system fol-
lowing the/ Aggies' 1856 victory over
Oklahoma Sooners. 1t was the
Aggies' last regular game of the
season.
The Aggies have been dubbed the
cinderella" kids by virtue of their
stirring rags -to-riches" perform
ance. Composed of 17-year -olds
and 4-F's, Coach Jim Lookabaugh's
team has topped all college opposi-
ton. Only one defeat mars its
record, that $50 loss to a service
eleven, the Norman (Okla.) Navy
Zoomers.
Scorning a soggy turf that took
the edge off their speedy attack,
the Aggies won easily. 1t was their
first victory in the intrastate foot
ball rivalry since 1888.
Stamping a brilliant finish on
his bid for All-America recognition,
Bob Fenimore. the Aggies' back
field ace, took the lead in, the
Sooner rout.
The cowboys scored two touch
downs in the first period and two
in the third. Substitute Halfback
Mack Creager kicked all extra
The Sooners got their tally in
the final period when Lou Dollar
hide, substitute fullback, went 80
yards.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. A.
Duke and Alabama were selected
tonight to meet in the annual
Sugar Bowl game here January /.
A. B. Nicholas, president of the
sponsoring Midwinter Sports As
sociation, said that both teams
ARE recognized nationally as con-
sistently outstanding and we have
every reason to believe that the
game will be one Of the finest

Nicholas said that DR.. w. n.

chairman Of the Faculty Com
mittee on Athletics, accepted for
Duke and Coach Frank Thomas
for Alabama.
Duke must obtain permission
from the Navy, which has a via
trainee unit and from the South
ern Conference. 1t was predicted
the Navy would grant permission
for trainees because of the COM
paratively short leaves that would
be required.
Duke won S of games, fin-
ishing strong after losing to
Penn, N. c. Pref1ight, Navy and
Army. Alabama was tied by LOU
isiana State and beaten by

Boston, with only two wins over
Brooklyn, isn't one of the circuits
powers but on their own lot last

selves only one touchdown weaker

in the last minute of play they
might have punched over another

Sammy Baugh for the first game
and it may make a difference to-
day, although, as some one has
pointed out. it had him last Sunday
when the Phils hit the Indians with
everything but the referees cleats.
Another newcomer since the first
Boston game is Clyde Shugart, vet
eran guard whose presence will help
if he's in shape.
The Skins also are minus a couple
of boys, Tackle Joe Ungerer and one
of their best ends. Ted Lapka. That
might make a difference, too.
Passing, with Frank Filcnock ano
Baugh sharing the pitching, is the

Southern California, one of the

seemed always able to clear a path
for the ball carrier and the backs
darted inside the guards and off
the tackles for one long gain after
another.
After piling up three touchdowns
in the first half, the Trojans really
went to work in the third period
