SHRINE CONTEST
HAS S0CCY. TURF

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 81. -
CUP)-East meets West here to
morrow - Mr.. Rudyard Kipline
notwithstanding and the result
tant clash of the stars from two
sides Of the continent is expect
ed to present one of the finest o1
all 1945 New Years Day football
extravaganzas.
With both sides loaded down
with All-America and All-Confer
ence stars the East, headed by
Coaches Andy Kerr, Colgate,
George Hauser and Bernie Bier
man, Minnesota, are bunked as 81
favorites, or you could take the
West with II points for even
money
The weather forecast says rains
tonight" which means that for the
umpteenth time the game will be
played in damp air on a soggy
field. However, both clubs are in
shape to play either dry or
wet" football-before the sell-out
crowd of $1,000.
Coach Bah Hollingbery of the
West, long a foe of the 'T"' for
nation, has relented to the extent
of allowing his co-mentor, Homer
Norton of Texas A & M, to install
a verson of this type of play at
least part of the time-if the field
should happen to be dry.
However, if it is wet, Hollingbery
will take over the guiding with his
wing formations. The same plan
is being used by the East.
It is the presence OF two ALL
Americans from Ohio Safeguard
Bill Hackett and Back Les Hor-
vath - plus names like Frank
Dancewicz and Bob Kelly of Notre
Dame that has made the East the
overwhelming favorite.
But the gamblers may be over
looking the fact that nearly halt
the probably starting lineup Of the
West is made up of service men
who have much more experience.
From the service on the starting
team of West are John Westrum,
San Francisco Coast Guard, for
merly of Minnesota; Al Ratio,
Alameda Coast Guard, formerly
of st. Mary's; Forrest Hall. March
Field, formerly of Texas; Walter
Heap, another Texas product, now
with San Francisco Coast Guard;
and battering Bob Kennedy, for
mer Washington State college star,
now of the 3rd Air Force.
To face this array Of stars, there
isn't a serviceman on the whole
East squad - because the boys
couldn't make the trip away from
their home bases.
Both teams finished final light
exercises this morning, rested this
afternoon and coaches pronounced
their respective squads in excel
lent" shape for the big clash.

Crowd OF 10000 Expect
ed To See 18th Annual
Sugar Bowl Game

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 31.-(R>-
Alabama's razor-sharp aerial at
tack, generated by flashy fresh
man tailback, Harry Gilmer. will
try for victory over the Navy
trainee-powered Duke Blue Devils
tomorrow in the 18th annual Sugar
Bowl football classic scheduled
to be played before the first capa-
city audience since Pearl Harbor.
The sellout crowd of 10000 will
include some $4,000 service men
and women guests who are eX-
pected to be on hand for the 2
pm. (CWT) kickoff. Favorable
football weather has been forecast
fors the game.
Frank Thomas, Alabama coach
and veteran of five previous bowl
games, frankly admits his Crimson
Tides chances of a win over the
two-touchdoWn favored Blue De-
wills rest in the strong right arm
of Gilmer.
Duke has us out-manned," Tho
mas said, but there's no better
passer in football than Gilmer and
the boys seem determined to fight
over the square inch OF turf in the
Sugar Bowl stadium. Well be in

and-tuck game ever since we ac-
cepted the invitation Cameron
said, land we tried to prepare for
it that way. I'll be happy to settle
for a one-touchdown victory"
Dukes powerful line led by
Guard Ernest Knots, will be back
ed by capable scoring threats in
Tom Davis, Gordon Carver and
George Clark.
Alabama reaches the game with
the better "won-lost" record, hav-
ing annexed five victories against

Duke won and lost 4, but play
ed a tougher schedule than the
Tide and comparative records are
practically worthless for this
game.
The game will mark a "cycle
of the big Four" bowls for Tho
mas-coached Alabama teams and
will be the eighth such affair for
Tide elevens, which have post
season record Of wins, one tie
and a single loss, since 1926.
Duke is without a win in two
tries in the Rose Bowl.

Both teams are loaded with
touchdown ammunition.
The rival coaches couldn't get
together in advance on probable
winner, but they agreed that all
the signs pointed to high-poWer-
ed offensive battle.
The betting odds which favored
Georgia Tech to repeat January
| l, 1914, victory over Tulsa in the
Sugar Bowl, were questioned by
the veteran w. A. Alexander, the
Georgian's coach.
Tulsa is a hard team to de-
fend against" he said, land will
score on us. The only way We'll
be able to beat them is to make
more touchdowns. They re better
than they were last year in many
respects, while we're not as good.
1T should be a real ball game,
and Tulsa undoubtedly will use
the charging fullback, Camp Will
son, and work in some passing.
Our boys have been a little slow
the past couple of days. l think
they mad too much candy and tur-
key Christmas, but I'm hoping
they'll snap out of it by game
time"
Coach Henry Frnka, whose Tul-
sans scored four or more touch
downs in every regular-season
game, was well satisfied with the
under-dog role.
Georgia Tech is going to be
tough to beat" he commented.
They've got not only fine pass
ing team but a good running at
tack also. Those who say all we
have to do to beat Tech is to halt
the passing are wrong.
Tech has better balanced
team than that. I think they're
better than they were last year.
They have Frank Broyles back,
they have improved defensively,
and their kicking is better"
Neither statement had any eff
feet on the odds-makers, who list
ed Tech at to 5, OR offered six
points-largely on the strength of
the Engineers victory over Navy.
