Connecticut s..ortSwriters have a better than even chance of having, as one of their guests, one of the greatest little fellows of American athletic history, Greg Rice of Notre Dame, now at Kings Point Academy, U s. Merchant Marine. He has ten- atively agreed to come to New Hav- en for the annual dinner of the sports scribes, Monday. January 2sth '. Eighteen pounds heavier GAO than his best running weight Greg manages to work out once a week, but cannot "bear down because of the added poundage. Speaking of the next Olympics, he said wistfully, while talking with the writer at the Notre Dame football rally last Fri day night at the Waldorf Astoria: T guess I'll have to miss that one" .. Consideration of Yale for a Rose Bowl football bid by the Los Angeles promoters, while flattering to the university authorities and Coach Howie Odell at New Haven is just so much wasted effort for two reasons in the following order: Yale has had a policy for several years against its team playing post-season football games. Then again Army trainees on the football squad would not be allowed to make the trip, as there is no allowance for furlough up to New Years Day. To date Yale has had no ''feeler" of any kind from the west coast, regardless of press reports during the past two weeks. {. Many of the Army, Navy ana Air Corps men, back from Europe and the Pacific areas, and now playing college football (such as Buggy Cher at Yale) will provide colorful type of sla;-4-bang, devil may y-care, never say die college foot ball that will pep up the college game and attendance as never be- fore during the postwar period.
