NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2. -(P)-
Georgia Tech and Tulsa Universe
ty broke at least three records
in Sugar Bowl Stadium Saturday,:
when Tech defeated Tulsa 20-l8;
In fact they broke the record for
breaking Sugar Bowl records.
This statistical vandalism first
drew attention in the second quar-
ter when a spike-legged STRIPPING
by name OF Jimmy Ford rollick-
ed rs yards for Tulsa touch
down, the longest scoring trip in
the ten-year Sugar Bowl history.
Ford skinned around his own
right end and ran the sideline like
big leagus tight-wire artist;
once in the open his speed assur-
red him plenty of privacy.
Sugar Bowl officials pointed out
that in no other bowl game here
were so many points scored, and
that the 188-point second quarter
was the busiest yet recorded in the
Sugar test. Santa Clara's 21-l4
win over Louisiana State seven
wears ago was the closest thing to
it.
But. with the score board reading
like a couple of social. security
numbers, Tulsa was unable to
earn a single point after touch
down Halfback Clyde Leforce
couldn't find the range that would
have given the Oklahomans an
upset.
AGAINST the University of Utah
Leforce sliced seven out OF eleven
between the uprights. Coach Hen
rv Frnka said that normally Lee
force lust kind of waves his foot
at the ball and the result is tech
nicall y perfect.
Leforce said after the Sugar
Bowl game that he didn't even
remember missing them. He said
he tackled Georgia Techs Ed
die Prokop in the first quarter
and drew blank for the rest
of the afternoon.
Prokop's wide-legged sprints
were the core of a great Georgia
Tech ground game which netted
a total 372 yards and coasted In
a solid surge for 79 yards and
the game-winning touchdown in
the fine quarter, bringing Teen
into the throne room from behind.
Tulsa was seldom able to knock
Prokop off his feet. They had to
smother him.
Ford's long gallop represented
more than a tfEd of the yardage

NEW YORK, Jan. O. - (P -
Football followers had as big a
headache today trying to figure out
the Bowl results as they had the
day before while trying to explain
their own flowing Bowl escapades
of New Years Eve.
Southern California, to 2 un-

Washington, 20 to 0; Texas, 2

a 7 to 7 tie with Randolph Field;
and Louisiana State upset Texas
A & M, 10 to IA, after losing to the
Cadets in the regular season.
Those games were the features
of the Rose, Cotton and Orange
Bowls, respectively.
In addition there were Georgia
Techs hard pressed victory over

Sun Bowl and the East's Is to 10

N. C.-the Redfern of big league

now patient at the Naval hos
pital in the Charleston Navy Yard
will return shortly to his native
Tar Heel state with an honorary
medical discharge from the Navy.
Redeem, who used to pilot
planes on mis- own, says he Joined
the Navy to do his bit and putter
with airplane engines and is not
too happy about leaving the Navy.
But since that has become inevi-
table, he is accepting the verdict
philosophically and declares he
wouldn't exchange his experience
in the Navy for anything in the
world.
Redfern joined up in Raleigh,
N. c., October 4, 1912.
Before enlisting ip the Navy,
Redfern was field salesman for
a cement company. He quit pro-
fessional baseball in 1888 after a
14-year career.
Back in 1924 when he was just
out of North Carolina State Col
lege, Redfern joined the New York
Yankees as rookie. Released
by the Yankees, Redeem returned
home and played with Asheville
in the South Atlantic League. In
1925, he was told to Detroit and
later that year he was farmed
to Los Angeles. In 1926. he went
with Nashville and in 1927, went
through spring training with De-
troit and was farmed to Min
neapolis.
Drafted by the White Sox, Red
fern played with the Sox for two
years, then was traded to Little
Rock with whom he played for
the next three years. In 1888. he
was sold to Baltimore and in 1884,
traded to Memphis. That year. ne
quit organized baseball and took
over the management of the Kan
napolis team in the Carolina
League, holding the reins of that
club until 1898, when he retired
from professional and semi-pro-
feSsional baseball.

contest in Pasadena's big amphi-

short end of to 2 odds!
If there is one place where a
Trojan football team plays its very
best game it's right here on the
Rose Bowl sod Seven victories in
seven starts is a performance that
leaves no room for improvement.
The Trojan football team that
whipped the University of Wash
ington 20 to 0 Saturday was as
good as any the Trojans have
turned out in several years. II
was as good as it was during the
first six weeks of the campaign
just ended, when it won its first
six games without it's goal line be-
ing crossed.
The 1913 Trojans lost two games
to San Diego Naval Training Sta
