PASADENA, Dec. 21.-Only 10
more days till Rose Bowl time, and
Southern California grid fans, put
ting on one of the widest scrambles
for tickets in years, are beginning
to think the Alabama u. S. C. battle
may rank with some of the great
New Year Day games of the past.
For Alabama, with three wins, a
tie and one loss, has the best record
of any Eastern representative in the
bowl. And Southern California,
while perhaps not the powerhouse
of yore, will be defending Spot
less record of eight wins In as many
Rose Bowl visits.
Strangely enough. It will be the
first Rose meeting between Tide and
Trojan. But Of the six most thrill
ing tourney games, each has played
in two.
Alabama's 20-1s hairliner over
Washington in 1926 and the Dixie
Howell-Don Hutson 1918 stampede
Of Stanford in 1885 are always topi-
cal in Rose Bowl discussions. The
Tide sewed up those games with
three-touchdown periods that were
offensive masterpieces. The 20
points engineered in the second
quarter Of the Stanford game still
stands as a Rose Bowl scoring high.
U. s. C.'s superthrillers were the
21-l2 SMASHING Of Tulane in 1882
and the last-minute come from
behinder over Duke, TO, in 1899.
Stanford is the only other school
with q bowl background as colorful
as the 1916 protagonists'. In, eight
trips to Pasadena, Stanford won
three, lost four and tied one.

Horse Trainers Ready
To Quit Maryland if
Dope Ruling Stands
~ the Associated PRESS.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 21-The Mary
land Racing Commission was con-
fronted today with q statement by
an American Trainers Association
oflcial that "a number" Of Alta
members believe the group should
consider recommending the aban-i
donments o. training horses at
Maryland tracks.
Janon Fisher, jr. secretary-treas-
urer of the association and former
president of the Maryland Horse
Breeding Association, said the racing
commissions Interpretation Of its
rule (146-D) holding trainers solely
responsible where evidence Of stimu-

He added that the "ATA still hopes
that conditions can be remedied
without such extreme methods-and
the association accordingly has in

Maryland Racing "Demoralized."
Fisher referred to a suit filed yes
terday in Baltimore City Circuit
Court asking invalidation of rule
146-D which provides minimum
suspension of one year for trainers
whose horses have been stimulated.
The Racing Commissions interpre-
tation of the rule has "demoral-

continued, but the Alta would con-

Wintry weather OF THIS last week
has improved greatly the sport for
wild fowlers. The tremendous RATS
Of ducks on the Eastern Shore have
been broken up considerably and
the ducks are spreading out in
search Of food and sheltered rest
ing places. The fresh water
marshes by now are solid Ice and
most of the salt water creeks are
frozen over, or partially so. forcing
the black ducks and mallards out
into deeper water. The canbacks,
bluebills and others are moving over
into the Patuxent and Potomac and
the larger estuaries such as Nam
jemoy and the Wicomico. The ice
has spread pretty well over the
upper Potomac except In the brakes
below Seneca and farther up above
the third island. Wildfowlers who
are hardy enough to work sneak
boat into this area are due for some
sport. The marshes along the canal
are frozen solid and the ducks and
geese are feeding In the corn and
wheat stubble fields along both
shores and rafting on the open
water in midriver.
We very much fear that upland
game hunters are pretty well
through for this year In nearby
Maryland and Virginia. The season
extends until December31 in Mary
land. East of the Blue Ridge in
Virginia the season does not end
until January 20, which gives small
game addicts a better break. The
heavy snowfall Of this week bids
fair to remain through to the end
Of the season In Maryland, although
subsequent warmer weather may
open it up In Virginia before the
season closes there. However, there
are many jobs which sportsmen and
conservationists can engage in with
profit and pleasure to while away
the hours out OF doors, and the
best of these, in our opinion, is the
feeding of wildlife for the balance
Of this winter.
When deep SHOWS cover the
ground for lengthy periods even
the hardest of our smaller wild
friends have difficulty in obtaining
