Al ABAMk WAS SECOND CHOICE ID CADETS?
By ALEX TRoFFEY United Press Sports Writer)

Pasadena, Gal, Nov. 24 -- (UP) - The Rose Bowl Committee, which came out first with it's New Years day selection - Alabama - settled back today to await the process of elimination which will name the Pacific Coast League champion for the western berth in the bowl
 Worried over the drawn-out west coast loop battle, which might have delayed choice of an eastern repre- sentative for two weeks and given other bowl promoters a chance to grab the best teams, the committee yesterday offered undefeated Ala bama it's sixth invitation, and 'Bama was quick to accept.
 The western representative prob ably will be named Dec. when Southern California plays University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).. Southern Cal now is lead ing the conference.
 Washington and Washington State also have slim chances, but one will be eliminated when they meet today.
 It was not announced whether Army, the only other team to be mentioned for the Rose Bowl, had declined an invitation. At West Point, Army Coach Earl Blaik told reporters several hours before the Rose Bowl choice was announced that Army wasn't going to Bowl game.
 Alabama, sparked by the sensa- tional passing of Harry Gilmer, won it's first seven games and has two to go-againSt Pensacola Navy to- day and Mississippi State next Sat- urday. Today's game was expected to be easy, but Mississippi State was highly regarded. However, even two defeats will not alter the invita- tion
 The Crimson Tides Rose Bowl record is second only to Southern California, with three victories, one tie and one loss. Southern Cal has won all eight of it's games in the bowl Alabama lost, 13 to 0, to California in 1938-the Tides last bowl appearance.

Traditional Games Today

This is the 42nd renewal of the gridiron rivalry. Each has been beaten once this season. If unde- feated Indiana is beaten by Purdue at Bloomington today, the winner of the Buckeye Wolverine game will share the circuit title.
 Pitt-Penn State
 Pittsburgh, Nov. M-(UP)-One of the countrys oldest football rival ries was renewed today when Pitts burgh and Penn State clashed for the 45th time. Nearly 10000 fans saw twice-beaten Penn State enter as favorites against the Partners who had previously lost seven games, six of them consecutively.
 Penn-C Cornell
 Philadelphia, Nov. M-CUP)- Penn and Cornell met today in their Sand football game before 63,oOO per- sons at Franklin field. Penn has won 36 games and Cornell 12.

 Yale-Princeton
 Princeton, N. J., Nov. M-CUP)- Princeton's football team, beating Its way back slowly to pre-war football eminence, went after its most sought after victory of the year today against it's time-honored Ivy League rival from Yale.

LoMotto Stops Woods in Eiqhth

Boston, Nov. 24-(UP) Jake La Motta, 164 IA, of New York, whose stoic glare when in the ring is reminiscent of an Indian warrior, had added the baldish scalp of vet eran Walter (Popeye) woods, 167, of Astoria, L. T., to his best of trophies today.
 For eight rounds last night be- fore 12,27l bowling fans at Boston Garden middleweight La Motta stalked his ancient grey. Then he turned on a veritable fusillade of thunderous smashes to Woods body and jaws that ended the scheduled 10 round bout in about a minute and half of the eighth round.
 It was the anticipated climax of fight that drew the largest crowd in two years here. Yet Woods gave excellent account of himself before the steady advance of an opponent who is fully 10 years his junior.
 The bouts drew gross gate ot S45, 966 for a net of $37,580.

No Sure Thing M Sight With Army Resting
BY BURTON BENJAMIN NEA Staff Correspondent

New York, Nov. 24-Football nears the end of the 1945 season in a splurge of traditional rivalries which usually provide nightmare for the form players. Athletes are apt to respond powerfully to a coach's tear-stained fore or an old grads locker room harangue.
 Of such stripe are the annual rhubarbs between Pennsylvania ald Cornell, Pittsburgh and Penn State, Columbia and Dartmouth, Colgate and Brown, Boston Col lege and Holy Cross, Duke and North Carolina, Mississippi and Mississippi State, Indiana n d Purdue, Michigan and Ohio State, Minnesota and Wisconsin, North western and Illinois, Missouri and Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, Okla homa and Oklahoma A & M, Texas Christian and Rice, Baylor and Southern Methodist, Utah and Utah State, Colorado College and Colora- do ARM, Denver and Colorado U., California and U. c. L. A. and Washington and Washington State this weekend.
 Anything can happen in these games and usually does. Only one team in the group is undefeated and untied-Oklahoma AGnM. The others have been good and bad certainly not consistent
 To dispense with tradition first, we give Penn a shade over Cor nell at Franklin Field despite the fact that Ed McKeever'S Ithacans improve measurably each week. To sell the Quakers short on the basis of their rout by Army is simply to discount the superlative qualities of the Cadets. After all, Penn did hold the West Pointers to 61 points.

CROSBY. WILEY FOOTBALL
  FINALE TODAY

Most of the scheduled high school Thanksgiving Day games, rained out last Thursday will be played today on various gridirons throughout Connecticut; including the local classic-Crosby vs. Wilby.
 With better than a 5000 ad- vance ticket sale, and excellent foot ball weather, and no game in the Yale bowl today, the crowd atten1- ing the local game at Municipal Stadium could go anywhere between 7,5OO and 10000. The game is anti climactic as far as the city cham pionship goes, Leavenworth having already beaten Crosby and Wilby.
 Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p. m. with all players concerned ready to go, including Crosby's regular fullback, Jimmy Latimer (49) who will probably start the game, as his injured leg has shown daily im- provement.

of heritage this week. Bo McMil- lin, gunning for Indisna's first Big Ten title, has Purdue as the final obstacle and the Hoosiers are favor ed to overcome this stiff barrier. Michigan and Ohio State renew their annual ferocity and the Buck eyes are the choice. Wisconsin and Minnesota are both under par but Bierman'S brutes should be well fried after their Iowa debacle and get the nod.
 Illinois and Northwestern wind up poor seasons as Evanston, and the Wildcats are slight favorites.
 Missouri should take Kansas and Iowa gets a vote against Nebraska in contests which bring together four mediocre clubs. Undefeated Oklahoma A85M with its great back Bob Fenimore should have little diff ficulty with Oklahoma.
 In the Southwest an improving Rice aggregation should whip Texas Christian while Baylor does the same to Southern Methodist.
 Utah State over Utah (Thurs- day), Colorado College over Col orado AS5M and Colorado over Den yer are the choices in the Rockies.
 U. c. L. A., back in the Rose Bowl picture after it's great upset over Saint Mary's, is figured to continue its march to PaAadena against Cal ifornia. Washington and Washing ton State meet for the second time this season. State won the first con- test, 6-0, and may do it again.
 Tn some non-traditional encount- CTS, it's Tulsa over Arkansas, Vir- ginia Military over Virginia Poly technic, Wake Forest over South Carolina and William and Mary over Richmond in Thursday games. Georgia will coast over Presbyter- ian and Michigan State take Miami Fla.) Friday night.
 Harvard should whip Boston Uni versity, while Yale tops Princeton in the rehearsals for the Eli- Grim so-. scrap, Dec. 1. Other choices are Lafayette over Lehigh, Auburn over Louisiana Tech, Georgia Tech over Clemson, Tennessee over Kentucky, Notre Dame over Tulane, unbeat- en Virginia over Maryland, Texas Tech over New Mexico, and South ern California over Oregon State.
 All in all it's tough week. With Army idle, there isn't one sure win- ner.

JOYCE EARNS TITLE BATTLE WITH WILLIAMS

Chicago, Nov. 24-(UP)-Willie Joyce, after campaigning two years among the nations top lightwelghts, was awarded a title bout today as a result of his unanimous 10-round decision over Joey Barnum of Los Angeles.
 Promoter Irving Schoenwald after the Stadium fight last night, announced that Joyce would meet Ike Williams, N. B. A. lightweight king. in championship bout here sometime in January.
 Joyce, trigger-fast Negro puncher from Gary, Ind, ranked the na- tion's No. lightweight, slugged through 10 bruising rounds to re- deem himself against Barnum, 22- year-old Californian Italian.
 It was a tough climb for the tough Indiana Negro. He was set for the championship bout last month when he first met Barnum, but the .dapper Los Angeles new conner held Joyce to an upset draw" knocking him out of the title shot.
 After losing to Allie Stolz in New York, Joyce came back to Chicago for fight he had to win if he wanted to meet Williams.
 Slugged It Out
 Giving away a three-pound weight advantage, Joyce also threw away his long established boxing style for this one. Instead of his famil- lar jabbing, dancing style, Joyce slugged it out with Barnum. He won the seventh, eighth and 10th rounds to clinch the bout, so close that Referee Norman McGarity awarded the widest voting margin 53-47

WeIch Winner or Close Fight

New York, Nov. A-CUP)-Coley Welch of Portland, Me, concen- trated on body attack to hammer out a split 10-round decision over Jerry Fforello, rugged Brooklyn middleweight, at St. Nicholas arena last night before 3,215 fans who paid $9,336.
 Each scaled the same: 164 3-4 rounds.
 Iron Man" Fiorello suffered a gash on his nose and enough body punishment to put the brakes on him whenever he became danger ous. It was rough fight in which Welch was belted groggy in the eighth.
 Referee Ruby Goldstein and Judge Harold Barnes voted for Welch on rounds; but Judge Frank Forbes scored five rounds for each, and voted for Fiorello on points, 8 to
