Georgia Tech
 For Orange Bowl

Georgia Tech will play in the Orange Bowl game here New Years day, bowl committee President Van c. Kussrow announced today after a contract was signed in Atlanta by Techs Head Coach w. A. Alexander.
 It was the first bowl team signed up. Tech has won seven games this season and lost only to Duke Uni- versity, and will be making its sec- ond appearance in the Orange Bowl.
 Tech has two regular-season games yet to play. Notre Dame plays in Atlanta this Saturday, and the Yellow Jackets meet their tradition al rivals, Georgia, on December 2.
 Duke, which beat Tech 1913 earlier this year, is a possible bowl game opponent for the potential southeastern conference champions. Kuserow said that other teams under consideration were Oklahoma, A. and M., Tulsa, Texas and Texas A. and M.
 Both Tulsa and Texas A. and M., are scheduled for December games here against the University of Miami and their showing may determine whether either gets the invitation to play Tech.
 AlexanderIs teams have played in all major bowl games of the country during his tenure of 25 years as head coach. Techs previous Orange Bowl appearance was in ls40 when 1t beat Missouri, 2l-7

.SOLEM'S "
 FOR M A TION COMES UP AGAIN
By CARL LUNDQUIST

United Press Stan CorrespOndent)
 New York, Nov. 22 - (U.P.) = Coach Ossie Solem, the old Syracuse .Sleight-of-hand'' man, whose re- versible center "Y'' formation caused such consternation three years ago that the football rules committee legislated it out of existence, gave air warning today that he hasn't exhausted his bag of grid tricks, but that the others will have to wait until the war is over.
 Solem, the most chipper man in upstate New York because his civ- ilian kids upset Colgate in their tra- ditional rivalry Saturday, said he hadn't attempted to resurrect le- gal version of his trick formation and that he wouldn't until the rules committee has chance to clarity its stand on it.
 ''The reversed center play was leg islated out and inasmuch as the rules are supposed to be frozen for the duration, I have not, nor will I attempt to have a reconsideration during that time," he said.
 Naturally, I feel the play has many possibilities, but do not want to argue its merits when there are things of so much greater import 1 ance going on in the work"
 The play, when it worked, was something to behold. The center, in- stead of going down in the conven- tional semi head-stand to flip the ball to the backs, reversed himself and faced them. That made for more accurate ball handling and greater versatility because the center could aim for either the right or left ball carrying backs, hence the "" desig- nation.
 Fifth Back
 Probably what the rules commit tee objected to the most was the follow-through of the center on certain plays in which he went right on into the backf1eld with the ball and became, in effect, fifth man in the backf1eld.
 Coach Lou Little of the Columbus Lions, who is head of the football coaches rules body, said that when he first heard about Solem's use of the "Y" he recalled that it had been used as far back as 1913. T had forgotten all about that reversed center business until Solem brought 1t back" little said. But then I remembered that I played against turned around center back in 1913. It was at Vermont and the Tufts team which used the play gave us good licking. We all stood about waiting for the center to turn around when all of a sudden we were flat on our backs. It works all right"
 Effective
 Solem indicated that the play may be worked effectively in connection with quick-opening plays from the now popular TT" formation with the extra speed in ball handling in- creasing the tempo of the offensive play - something imperative if the TT" clicks properly.
 Devising 8 defense against the "" wasn't impossible although Syracuse dropped only two games out of eight during 1941 when Solem used 1t majority of the time. Penn States team. turning in a 34 to 19 victory, used 8 seven man line with the tackles dropping back on pass plays.
 Gridiron operatins are light throughout the east this week with such traditional games as rankin and Marshall-B -Bucknell on Thurs day and Colgate-Brown, Pittsburgh Penn State, Rutgers-Lehigh, Prince ton-Atlantic City naval and Ursinus- Swarthmore completing the sched- ule on Saturday.

Pert Paragraphs

Pert Paragraphs
 President Roosevelt put his ever increasing influence behind the TreaSury'S request to have the Army-Navy game moved from An- napoliS to large city where the public might witness the annual service tilt. Tn doing so the pres ident not only gave public morale a boost but he also in his non- committal way gave the Sixth War Loan a shot in the arm. Because as it stands now all spectators at this contest must purchase a War Bond, the denomination probably depending on the location of the seat. And even though the game was not moved to Philadelphia or New York but instead to Baltimore, the Army, Navy, Treasury Dept. and the American Public will benefit from the change. According to lat- est reports the game is already sold out, and almost in its entirety to residents of the Baltimore area.
 Bob Chuck" Johnson, probably one of Crosby's outstanding ath- letes this year played for the last time for the Blue and White last Sunday when the East Main Streeters registered a smashing 31 to victory over Wilby. Chuck, the boy with the ever present twin kle in his eyes and smile on his lips has for the past three years been a member of the baseball and football squads, making name for himself on both. And if things go according to "Hoyle" Bob will be off to the Pittsburgh Pirates Train ing camp in February with CO., rookie Jackie Sullivan. Both boys were signed by the Pirates in the Spring when they held tryouts at Hamilton Park.
 Jim Shell, member of the Lancers Hi Y club left for his boot training at the Sampson Naval Training Station in New York State yester- day afternoon. Jim will receive an intensive eight week training course at the familiar boot camp.
 Bill Derwin the congenial Park Dept. man was kept busy at the Municipal Stadium last Sunday see- ing that everybody was accom- modated, and that everybody had seats.
 Frank Longo, manager of the Bristol West End Pro club has an- nounced that there will be no Thanksgiving day tilt at the Muz- zey Field this year. The gate at the park has been insufficient to keep a team going.
 Even though the local factories are working on Thanksgiving Day fairly decent turnout is expected at the Leavenworth-H -Hamden game at the Municipal Stadium at 10 a. m. Both teams are pretty evenly matched and the contest should be very close.
