North Carolina and Oklahoma will
play in the Sugar Bowl at New
Orleans and Southern Methodist will
clash with Oregon in the Cotton
Bowl at Dallas, it was learned last
night as the New Years Day foot
ball picture for over the Nation
began to take final shape.
The smoke hardly had cleared
away after the final big Saturday
of college football when announce
ments were made on acceptances to
the rich January pigskin plums.
Oklahoma wound up its regular
schedule by outlasting Oklahoma
A. ds NJ, 1915, and North Carolina
clipped Virginia 34-12.
AS expected, Oregon got the bid
for the Cotton Bowl after losing out
to California for the Rose Bowl
assignment. California tackles
Northwestern in the Pasadena event.
Chosen Week Ago.
Southern Methodist closed out its
regular season with a TT tie against
Texas Christian, but the Mustangs
were "in" the Cotton Bowl a week
ago.
Oregon has three Negro players
on its squad, starting Left Halfback
Woodley Lewis, Placekick Expert
Chet Daniels and Reserve End Win
Wright. They will participate in the
Cotton Bowl. Last year Penn State
had two Negro players.
In matching Cardinals Southern
Conference champions with the Big
Seven titleholders, the Sugar Bowl
came up with the two highest rated
teams of the season in terms OF ma
tional rankings to play in any bowl.
Rated Fourth, Sixth.
North Carolina was rated fourth
in the Associated Press poll OF the
past week and Oklahoma sixth.
Those were a shade better than
the Rose Bowl participants-Call-
fornia at No. S and Northwestern al
No. 7. The only teams rated ABOVE
these four, Michigan, Notre Dame
and Army, are not bowl "ellgloies
this year.
