On Jan. 2, the AFRS will rebroad- cast a streamlined version of the Rose Bowl game (minus the time outs and other impedimenta) to Europe at 1500.

Take Me Out to the Bowl Game
 A lot of guys in the armed forces are going to get a chance to listen to a broadcast of one or more of the Bowl games this coming New Years Day, and, although that privilege isn't quite as good as a seat on the 50-yard line at Pasa- dena, it's the next best thing.
 The New York office of the Armed Forces Radio Service plans to pipe the Orange Bowl game from Miami to the ETC on Jan. 1

Right Scores Wanted For New Year s Day Gridiron Contests

The BEAM, in it's ever upward surge, wants to find out before hand who the winners of the four major Bowl games will be. These New Years Day engagements have always attracted nationwide in- terest and it is certain that the military personnel at Bradley Field are just as much enthused now as they were in civilian days, when, huddled around radios, they fought every play in their minds eyes.

they were in civilian days, when huddled around radios, they tough every play in their minds eyes.
 FOUR GAMES CARDED
 The Rose Bowl fixture, dad dy of them all, will pit unde- feated Tennessee against the strong Trojans of USC. The
 Vols will have their work cut
 out for them, however, as the ;: Men of Troy have an untar-
 nished record in past Rose
 Bowl games. Georgia Tech
 tangles with Tulsa in the
 Miami classic, the Orange
 Bowl. The Rambling Wreck
 has just completed one of the
 most successful seasons in re-
 cent years, defeating Navy and
 their ancient rivals, the Geor-
 gia Bulldogs. Down Dallas
 way, Texas Christian will
 hook-up with Oklahoma in
 what promises to be quite a
 struggle. The Sugar Bowl, in
 New Orleans, is the site of
 probably the best game of the
 day as the Crimson Tide of
 Alabama will face a rugged
 Duke eleven. The Dukes were slow in getting started during
 the regular season but gath cred momentum during the
 month of November and should prove a tough foe for the once-
 beaten, twice tied Tide.
 WINNER GETS THEATER TI1 Now, for the details of the con test. This time we want SCORES Don't just check the winner, as vol did during the previous contests but, in the box found elsewhere or this page, fill in the score as vol think it will wind-up.
