Redwinss File Protest
(Bv United PreAs)

Manager Jack Adams of the De- tROit Redwings was preparing Q formal protest today to National Hockey League officials following c disputed deferee's decision during last nights game in which Toronto defeated Detroit, 2 to i.
 The dispute arose in the third period with the league-leading Maple Leafs ahead, 2 to 1. Ted Lindsay of the Wings shot the puck past Toronto Goalie Walter (Turk) Broda, but Referee George Gravel ruled mo goal" because Roy Con- acher showed the rubber with his hand to Lindsay.
 Olympia Stadium fans were so incensed with the officials decision that Gravel required a police escort upon leaving the arena.
 Syl Apps and Howie Meeker scor- ed the Leafs two third period goals and the setback left Detroit with out victory in its last 12 games.
 Comeback
 At Madison Square Garden, the New York Rangers snapped four game losing streak by scoring surprising 2 to victory over Mon- treal before l4,96l fans.
 The Rangers, who have not lost Christmas night game since 1884, were helped considerably by Goalie Charlie (Chuck) Rayner's superb work in the nets. Grant (Knobby) Warwick and Bryan Hextall tallied the Ranger goals.
 Chicago's revitalized Blackhawks defeated the Boston Bruins, to 3 at Boston Garden before 13,9O0 spectators. The victory brought the Hawks within one point of the fifth place Redwings.
 Chicago scored four times in the first period, and after Boston coun- tered with three in the second. the Hawks came back with another in the final session. George Gee and Alex Kaleta each scored twice for the winners.

By FRANK EIDGE, JR. THE ORANGE BOWL

Miami. Fla, Dec. 26 -~ (UPD .- Two behemoht lines, with All-Amer- lea players in key spots. collide in the Orange Bowl here New Years day in the biggest Southeast-South- west tangle to date.
 But whether Tenlnessee or Rice Institute adds bowl victory to its impressive conference record de- pends on how the ball is handled behind the lines. That's the way betting-wise Miami bookmakers have 1t figured. and they rate the Ricemen from Houston @ one touchdown favorfte.
 Bob Neyland's Tennesseeans are conceded to be just a little better in the precision football depart ment. When the Volunteers block, they lay 'em out.
 Rice Backs Superior
 However, Rice is three-deep in good backs who are right at home in the tricky T" formation. Neyland admits that Rice's windell williams is one of the nations best glue fingered ends, especially when vir- gil Qke) Eiwenberg sends of a long pass.
 Tennessee has a couple of big guys in the forward wall who may have something to say about what goes on in the Rice backfleld. Charging from tackle will be All- America Dick Huffman and his al- most-as-good running mate, Den. yer Crawford. Rice's All-America Guard Weldon Humble will be just across from Huffman, who has been delegated to hold him out.
 The Volunteers will put a loo- pound average of beef into the line, but Rice will outweight them with Q 205-pound average per man. Both teams are loaded with power. and it may be Eikenberg's passing that settles the game.
 Rice Better in Statistics
 On statistics. Rice has the better offensive and defensive record. The Owls piled up 237 points to Tenn essee's l75. and allowed nine oppo- nents only 66 while Tennessee per- mitted 89.
 The Owls lost by one point to Louisiana State and by one touch- down to Arkansas. They crushed Southwestern. 4S to o, Tulane, 25 to 6. SMU. 2l to 2. Texas. l8 to l3. Texas Tech. 41 to 6, Texas A. & M, 27 to IT. TCU. l3 to 0. and Baylor. 38 to 6.
 Tennessee was beaten only by Wake Forest. 19 to 6. but won over Georgia Tech, l3 to g. Duke. l2 to [. Chattanooga, 47 to '. Alabama, 12 to o. North Carolina, 20 to if, Mississippi, IS to l4. Boston Col lege. B to l3. Kentucky. to o. and Vanderbilt, ' to 6

Coach Eliot Not Interested M Stdtistics

Pasadena, Cal, Dec. D. CuP) = Figures, to Coach Ray Eliot of Illinois, never lie when they are In the scoring column, but when they are on the statistical side of the ledger - veil, the other team can have them.
 "Back in 1914" the coach of the Big Nine champions pointed out, I've won all the statistics, but lost most of the bail games. But in 1040 we won the ball games and lost the statistics"
 So first downs, yardage gained and yardage lost mean no more to Eliot than say. a figure in Holly wood. As figures they may be in- teresting-and probably are - but it's only the final score that counts with Ray.
 On Top At End
 "All season long the other teams made more first downs than we did, gained more yardage and had the edge in all departments of the game. Save one" Eliot added. And that exception-throwing out the Notre Dame and Indiana games tthe only ones the rllini lost)-Was in the final score.
 That's where 1 like to be on top. that's where I hope to be on top after the Rose Bowl game against UCIA. I don't care how many de- partments they edge Us in statistics 60 long aS they don't beat us out in the scoring column"
 Because of Illinois ability to win even though outplayed. the midwest titleholders have been called op- portunists. Some football experts even have gone so war as to say that Illinois was only the third best team-Notre Dame and Michigan being the top two-in the section.
 Tt wouldn't know about that ," Eliot said, although I would have liked to have played Notre Dame again. Maybet we are opportunists, and if that means having the right man in the right place at the right time. We are. Some say we got the breaks. Well, we did. but don't for get that we made most of our breaks. And when you make break and can take advantage of 1t. you are going to vii ball games. That's why we are champions.
 ExceIled In Holding Ball
 Eliot pointed out also that while Illinois lost most statistics this season. there was one department in which his club excelled-beSides the final score. That was in the matter of fumbles.
 In winning seven while losing two. the Illini fumbled only 20 times and on six of those occasions recoreded their own miscues. That breaks down to just a bit than two fumbles per game on the average.
 On the other hand. UCLA. in winning 10 games to join Georgia as the only major undefeated and united football teams in the land, fumbled 43 times. recovering 13 Of them.
 So in the tumble department, as well as the final score. Eliot IS willing to string along with the old premise that figures don't lie.
 Feted On Christmas Day
 Both the Illinois and UCLA play CTS had Christmas Day oil. being feted at parties here and in Los Angeles, but were ordered back 70 the practice fields today.
 Eliot, far from satisfied with the condition of his squad. planned hard workouts for today. Friday and Sat- urday with tapering of drills Mon- day and Tuesday. At UCLA. Coach Bert Labrucherie scheduled only light drills for the remainder of the week, feeling that his Pacific Coast Conference champions were nearing peak form.

GAY, ROMANTIC
 THRILL PICTURE
 AT 20TH CENTURY

Once in while, and only once in awhile, there reaches the screen a motion picture so heartwarmingly human, so packed with rich, honest laughter and truly enthralling TO- nance, that it remains among your most cherished theatre exper- fences for long time to come. Such picture is Sunday Dinner For A Soldier" the new 20th Cen tury-Fox picture starring Anne Bax- ter and John Kodiak with a bril- liant supporting cast including Charles Winninger and now show ing at the 20th Century. A good deal of the pictures delight stems of course from its simple yet un- usual story; the story of family of five, impoverished. but rich in spirit, whose home is a weather beaten houseboat moored in tropi- cal and picturesque lagoon on the Florida Gulf coast and whose burn ing desire is to entertain sol- died -- any soldier at Sunday dinner just as do their prosperous neighbors in the nearby town.
 A wonderfully human brood arc the Osbornes; certainly, they stand among the, screens first families. There is Tessa (Anne Baxter) in the first flush of womanhcod, who mothers tEe orphaned brood; there are the kids themselves, Bobby Driscoll. Connie Marshall and Billy Cummings; and there is Grand father, impetuous and irresponsible played by Chalres Winninger in one of the greatest portrayals of his career.
 The soldier who accidentally wanders into the houseboat home and into Tessa's heart is John Ho- diak.
