Trojans Mammoth Tackles,

BY BILL BECKER
APP Newsfeatures

LOS ANGELES Don't let their
in-and-out record fool you-those
Southern California Trojans are
rough, and they figure to be ready
for Alabama's Crimson Tide in the
Rose Bowl Jan. l.
1t will be the Trojans' ninth time
in Pasadena. They've won all eight
previous Rose Bowl games.
Alabama, which roared through
an undefeated season, has been
established - and rightly-as the
favorite over the Trojans, who
won seven and lost three. But be-
fore you give too many points on
use take a closer look at the Tro-
jams:
They're big, with a line averag-
ing about 205 pounds and back
field averaging 1T. They could
field a line averaging 230 and
backs around 200. In fact, when
tackle John Pehar, 290, is in the
lineup, the line average shoots to
PIP.
Naturally, as the record attests,
not all of these behemoths are
world-beaters; but many of them
are real corners. Some like end
Harry Adelman, 100; tackle Jack
Musick and John Aguirre, both 200;
and guard John Rea, 210, have def
nitely arrived.
The Trojans have two good CEN
tiers - Walt Mccormick and Joe
Bradford, both 215 to throw
against the celebrated Vaughn
Mancha.
The use attack features the hard
running Ted Tannehill, 185-pound
all-coast right half, and the pass
ing. of quarterback -out outfit t 1.-The
and Jerry Bowman. Left half Bob
by Morris and fullback Roy Cole,
both 175-pounders, supply added
speed and trickery to Coach jeff
Cravath's Information offense.
Tannehill, one of the fastest-start-
ing backs in Trojan history, scored
seven touchdoWns to lead Pacific
Coast Conference scorers. By coin
cidence, his first replacement is
Terry Ragan, who scored IL touch
downs at Redlands U to lead all
western scorers before Navy-trans-
| ferring to use.
Actually, use wasn't really an
in-and-out outfit; the team just
suffered a bad midseason slump.
The Trojans won their first three,
then lost three of their next four,
and wound up the season with
three convincing wins.

The bookmakers believe the Okla

On Saturday we usually give
YOU a rest and omit Sidellnes bu'
This morning we would like to com
noent on the most inane story o.
the year.
IL was a UP dispatch carried
bv the afternoon paper, concerning
the proposal of one Bruce Drake,
of Oklahoma University, to change
basketball rules so that the seven
foot. six-nine youngsters who have
been bobbing UP with great ire
ouency of late would be handicap
ped in their pursuit Of basketoall
goals.
MIR. Drake is basketball coach
at the Oklahoma University.
Not far from his place of EN-
ployment is the little town OF
Saltwater, where two institu-
tions of note reside. One in
Oklahoma A. G. NJ, the other
seven-foot hunk of cage player
named Bob Kurland.
AS YOU well know, the Kurland
has been making life rather rug
ged of late for the Drake. Drake.
in a great spirit of improving bas'
ketball, and at the same time try
ing to get rid of Kirkland, wants
to put the finger on all men who
have grown past the slx-toot SIX
mark. This bit of legislation,
,,,1,a, ,,,,shed NV character like
Drake, makes some of us sick to
our stomachs.
For when Drake had several
giants on the Oklahoma basketball
team and was beating Oklahoma A
& M, with ease, he was not all
worried about the plight of bas-
ketball being taken over by the
diversified boys.
In short what Mr.. Drake is say
ing goes something like this:
"Look fellows, the alumni OF
Oklahoma are getting little
disturbed about our losing to
Oklahoma A g. M. They also
dislike all the publicity that the
: saltwater school is getting
while most people still think
Oklahoma U. is stock COM
pany of the Broadway hit. Now
We can't stop Kurland on the
basketball floor but if we
change the rules the kid can
go back to his old job as
stand-in for the Rocky Noun !

BY WHITNEY MARTIN

NEW YORK, Dec. 81. - R -
STOPPING to foul play, we note that
SO free throws were awarded in a
basketball game between two Hi
nois high school teams. No mention
is made of the officials but it is
assumed the performance was a
big blow to them and they must
have left the court with kewpie-
doll cheeks and whistling breath.
The number of fouls called in
that game was exceptional, of
course, but it does bear out a
sprouting idea that the game is
being whistled to a stop. A whistle
stop game, you might say.
We have noted this tendency
in the Madison Square garden
games, where much of the continu-
ity and thrilling action has been
ruined by almost constant shrill-
ing, shrieking whistles. 1t sounds
Like tryout for traffic cops
rather than sports contest.
We don't think the officials pri-
marily are to blame. They are
there to enforce the rules, and an
mira ction is an infraction and
there's no drawing a line between
little violations and big violations.
What seems to be the matter is
that the game is over-ruled, and
not that the officials. are a bunch
of blow-hards out there toot-timing
the boys. When you get 10 big kids
running helter-skelter in space
so by "a feet or Whereabouts and
