NEW YORK, Dec. 21-P-
Plans for new or enlarged
stadium sports arenas and field
houses, costing an aggregate Of
at least $50, 900, 900 and &C
C o m d a 6 some 500, 900
spectators, we're revealed to-
day in a nationwide Associat-
ed Press survey.
Although shortages of ma
terials forced delay in mans
quarters, 1t was estimated that
most of the construction would
be completed within the next
three years. Several will be
finished in time for the 1947
football season.
This optimism was taken as
concrete evidence Of the sports
worlds faith that the current
attendance boom was going to
last for several seasons.
Much Of the construction
work will be done by colleges
and universities who will be
adding additional seats to their
football stadium and, in some
instances, building new bowls
to keep pace with the rise of
their grid fortunes.
However, the most imposing
of all plans, was the $20,0OO,-
900 project in New York city
that will provide a new $4,000
seat Madison Square Garden
by the fall of 1949.
The new garden, to be run in
connection with the existing
sports arena, will be owned by
the Triborough Bridge and
Tunnel Authority with the
garden corporation guarantee
ing an annual rental. Eventual
ly the property will be owned
by the city of New York.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. I'll
U.H-Coach Bert Labrucherie,
who isn't one to mince words,
said today that the team he
will field against Illinois in the
Rose Bowl will be by all odds
the best in U. C. L. A. gridiron
history.
First as a player, later as a
follower, and now as head
coach, he has seen all the clubs
which have represented U. c.
L. A. since the institution first
went "big time" in football
back in 1928.
"And this team of mine is
by far the best" Labrucherie
said. "They say it has weak
nesses, that my guards could
be better, but I'm satisfied
with it. It's a fast, rugged ball
club that can rise to the heights
necessary to win. What more
could a coach ask
Obviously pleased with the
form his squad of "a ex-service-
men and two civilians attained
after a week of hard drilling,
Labrucherie did not appear
surprised by the shift in west
coast odds which made his
team a six point favorite. Be-
fore it had been a point-and-a-
half underdog.
after all, there is no basis
on which you ear rate U. c. l..
A. and Illinois on seasons per-
formances," he pointed out.
