College Careers in
Easf-West Game
BY the Assosioisd Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. FORTY
eight college stars picked from all
over the Nation will play their final
amateur football as the East lines
up against the West today in the
23d annual Shriners' game.
| Odds favoring the East by So
stood up under the weatherman' s
forecast that scattered showers
which began falling last night would
be over before game time.
Coaching stats of both teams said
all players of the two squads would
play. Some players have indicated
they will sign professional contracts
after the East-West game. All have
been drafted by clubs of the Ma
tional League and All-America
Conference.
Coaches Bernie Bierman, Howard
Odell and Andy Kerr turned out an
Eastern team for the occasion with
emphasis on speed and an offense
built around All-America Johnny
Lujack of .Notre Dame. The ma
chine is calculated to work best on
dry turf.
The West team, coached by Don
Raurot, Lynn Waldorf and Marchie
fSchwartz, concentrates more beef
IN the line and has a versatile. back
field. It's only All-America back,
Herman Wedemeyer, got that billing
for services performed for st. Mary's
in 1915.
= Quarterback Virgil Eikenberg OF
Rice and Guard Paul Evensen OF
Oregon State are co-captains Of
the West ziggy Czarobski of Notre
Dame captains the East.
The last of $4,000 tickets were sold
last month. All profits go to the
Shrine's hospital for crippled chill
dren, which will receive about $780,
600, making more than $1,000, 900
from the annual games since the
first in 1925.

Maryland Confident
Despite Rating as
Slight Underdog
By, George. Huber
Ssor Stoff correspondsss

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. L.
Maryland's Terrapins headed into
their first football bowl game here
today, happy with their rating as
slight underdogs to air-minded
Georgia and confident Of their
ability to spill the dope and emerge
as. winners in the third annual
Gator Bowl. A near-capacity crowd
of about 21.000, largest in Cater
Bowl history, was expected at the
game.
The weatherman predicted cloudi.
ness and a $3.50 chance Of rain.
along with a temperature Of about
IS degrees. The weather has been
ideal for the Terrapins during their
six days Of windup practice for this
tilt. Although rain would slow the
Terrapin ground attack. It would be
more of q handicap for Georgia,
whose main offensive strength Is
passing as designed by Coach Wally
Butts.
Terps at High Pitch.
Maryland finished preparations
for the game with two sessions Of
skull practice yesterday at the Naval
Air Station near here, where the
team Is quartered.
Players were at a high pitch,
anxious to get going and finish q
football season that has kept them
in training for four months. Most
Of the time here since their arrival
last Friday has been devoted to per-
fecting their already-good pass de-
fenses, and the teams chances for
victory today appeared to rest on
just how few passes they would per-
NIT Johnny Rauch. the Bulldog
quarterback, to complete.
A poll of sports writer's covering
the game here gave forecasts rang
ing from Maryland by a shade to
Georgia by 13 points, with the con-
census making the Bulldogs one
touchdown favorites.
Played One Mutual Rival.
Georgia won seven games and
dropped four during the regular sea-
son, as compared to Maryland's 7-2-1
record. The rival elevens played
only one mutual opponent, North
Carolina, which topped Georgia,
14-7, and Maryland, 1870. Both
have nationally-famous players, with
Maryland presenting Lu Gambino,
the knee-action halfback who ran to
l6 touchdowns this year, and with
Georgia depending on Rauch,
strong-arm quarterback with the
build of a fullback who passed to 10
touchdowns.
The Georgia team averaged nearly
II pass competitions per game,
principally with Rauch throwing.
Maryland permitted an average of
only 4 passes completed against it
per game. Something is bound to
snap when teams with those kind of
records clash.
Georgia also is a good defensive
team against both air and gorund
attack. Only 98 yards per game
were gained against 1t on the
ground this season, principally be-
cause of a stalwart line anchored
around ALL Conference Guard Herb
St. John. That makes 1t tough for
Gambino and the rest Of Maryland's
ball carriers.
