TODAY'S SPORT PARADE
BY OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer

New York, Dec. 27. UP)-The bookies came out today with their latest odds on the rash of bowl football games and the betting gentry was suspiciously generous in the way it threw the points around.
 The line:
 Rose Bowl: Alabama vs. Southern California plus 13.
 Sugar Bowl: Oklahoma A. & M. vs St. Mary's plus 13.
 Orange Bowl: Miami vs. Holy Cross plus 712.
 Cotton Bowl: Texas vs, Missouri plus 1311a.
 Oil Bowl: Georgia vs. Tulsa plus 6.
 Gator Bowl: Wake Forest vs. South Carolina plus 13.
 Sun Bowl: New Mexico vs. Denver plus 61a.
 Shrine Game: West vs East plus l.
 North-South Dec. 29: South vs. North plus 2,
 In most cases it looks like out and out charity. particularly when you exclude the all-star games.
 Tide Not Too Good
 Take the Rose Bowl, for instance, Alabama looks good, but not from 13 points away. The Tide won all nine games but was extended in several conquests-and don't forget that long train ride. Southern Cali fornia, meanwhile, lost three of it's 10 games but even with Pacific Coast football far below par had to come through to get the nod, and did. The Trojans downed St. Mary's Pre-Flight and twice de- feated U.C.L.A. Sure, they lost, 26-0 to St. Mary's. But UCLA topped the Gaels-and then lost twice to Southern Cal.
 Oklahoma A. & M. also would appear to rate the nod over St. Mary's. But Gael team which walloped Southern California and has Herman Wedemeyer in the backfield doesn't appear to be a 13 point underdog on anybody S football field-unless it was the one up at West Point.
 Miami unquestionably rates the edge over Holy Cross, but 712 is a very healthy potion. The South erners showed plenty in putting away Michigan State, but you can't overlook the fact that the New Englanders bested such eastern standouts as Dartmouth, Yale and Brown. They looked bad only once against Temple team which showed it's calibre in defeating Pitt.
 At first glance, Texas would ap- near to be a good 131a points bet ter than Missouri in the Cotton Bowl. The Longhorns swept to nine victories against only one defeat, a 7-6 loss to iRce. But Texas only beat SMU. 12-7. And Missouri did 1t 1O-7. And the only three games the Missourians lost were when they stepped out of their class against Minnesota, Ohio State and Michigan State.
 Which brings us to Wake Forest, rated at 13 points better than South Carolina in Jacksonville's Gator Bowl. So remember that they played to a 1913 tie during their regular seasons-and South Carolina was coming strong at the end Of the year.
 New Mexico, favored at 61a over Denver in the Sun Bowl. is the only one that looks good. And that's figuring it on the basis of dual performances against Colorado Col lege and Utah. Utah beat New Mexico, 21-20, and Denver. 33-2l, while New Mexico halted Colorado College, 6-4. and Denver lost to Q. c. 1920.

New Orleans, Dec. 27- (UP) - Georgia's Oil Bowl bound football team was scheduled to arrive today for hard workout in Tulane Sta dium.
 Coach Wallace Butts and 40- man squad left Athens, Ga, yester- day, and Butts said he planned to go to Houston, Tex, by easy stages.
 Butts expressed concern over de- fense against the hard running of the Tulsa University backs whom Georgia will face on New Years day.
 Biloxi, Miss, Dec. 27- (UP) - Coach Jim LOokabaugh, uneasy because his Oklahoma A. & M. football team has been installed as Appoint favorite over St. Mary's for the Sugar Bowl game, concentrated on defense today.
 LOOkabaugh said that he was glad to hear that the odds were dropping, because he felt they were too high.
 Miami, Fla, Dec. T. (UP) - Holy Cross Crusaders from Wor- cester, Mass, devoted their time today to getting used to the warm weather in which they probably will have to play their Orange Bowl football game against Miami U.
 The une x pected temperature change was greeted with delight by Miami Coach Jack Harding, who said he believed it would be dis tinct advantage to his team.
 Holy Cross Coach John Dagrosa said he hoped the weather would speed recovery of his star halfback, Stan Koslowski, who was kept out of practice yesterday by a heavy cold. DaGrosa said Koslowski might participate briefly in today's work out.
 Tackle Roger Desroches, reported enroute to Miami after leaving the Holy Cross infirmary where he was recovering from Pneumonia, will not play unless permission is grant, ed by the team physician, DaGrosa said..

Senator Moses Rites
Are Tentatively Set
For Wednesday

BY the Associated Press.
ROCHESTER, Mimi, Mar. s.
An abdominal ailment brought death
today to United States Senator
John Moses, Democrat, of North
Dakota, who worked as a railroad
section hand when an immigrant
youth of 20.
The 59-year old resonant voiced
Senator Moses, who came to this
country from Norway in 1905, was
three times Governor of North
Dakota before advancing to the
Senate in the 1914 general election
in which he defeated Gerald p
Nye, Republican, who held the Office
10 years.
The second Democrat ever elected
to the Congress from North Dakota,
Senator Moses occupied his seat
only a few days before returning
here January 18 for treatments. He
had undergone an operation here
last September.
Funeral services were set tenta-
lively for Wednesday at Bismarck.
Mrs. Moses, who had been with him
constantly during his illness, and a
son, 1t. James Moses, who arrived
here yesterday after completing air
force training in New Mexico, &C
companied the body back to Sen.
Moses adopted State, leaving this
afternoon. A daughter and two
other sons also survive.
Sources in Washington and North
Dakota said that Mr. Nye would not
be named by Gov. Fred Aandahl,
Republican, to the vacancy left by
Sen Moses death. Gov. Aandahls
appointee will serve until 1916 at
which time the State will elect two
Senators, the term of Republican
William LANCER expiring at that
time.
