BY sundown tonight the par
ticipants In the Rose Bowl might
be decided-or the situation could
be completely muddled.
II California's unbeaten Golden
Bears stop Stanford at Palo Alto
before q bulging mob Of 10000,
they will have qualified to act as
host team. It also would be their
10th straight win.
But If Stanford comes out on
top-plus q U. c. L. A. victory
over Southern California at Los
Angeles-both the Bears and
Uclans viii have 6-1 conference
records for the years work.
As for the Big Ten representa-
tive, that would be even more
complicated. II Ohio State turns
back Michigan at Ann Arbor be-
fore q throng Of $1,000 1t will
automatically 60 to the Rose
Bowl. Simple as that.
Should Michigan beat Ohio
State and Minnesota defeat Wis
consin, the Buckeyes and the
Gophers would be deadlocked for
the Western Conference lead.
each with AZ marks.
Minnesota Has Good Chance.
Minnesota probably would get
the nod from the powers that be
on the strength Of its 27-0 con-
quest over Ohio State earlier in
the season. Michigan cannot go
again on January 2, 1850. after
having played there on New Years
Day in 1913.
AS q matter Of fact, the chances
of matters becoming complicated
are mighty good. Stanford is
given a good chance of beating
California, while Ohio State
actually will be the underdog
against Michigan.
In the Southwest Conference
the teams also will be fighting for
q bowl spot-this time the Cot
ton Bowl.
II Rice wins it's fifth straight
at the expense Of Texas Christian.
It would clinch at least q tie for
the title.
Baylor could do it. but South
ern Methodist is figured to come
out on top in their game. The
loop champion automatically goes
to the Cotton Bowl.
The two best teams in the coun-
| try, Notre Dame and Oklahoma.
face relatively easy tests. Notre
Dame, No. /, plays Iowa, while
the second-rated Sooners are ia
vored to slap down Santa Clara
lfor their 18th in q row.

country include:

ward at Yale, Penn State at Pitts
Eburgh, Purdue at Indiana, North
