What this town needs is ''Red-

Baugh passed the Chicago Car

with 4 shiny, new station wagon.
Yesterday Tommy Mont put on a
sparkling performance after re-
ceiving a gift of luggage from his
Cumberland, Md, fans.
Coach Herman Ball was honored
by the same group. He was given
luggage, a wallet. a ring and a pen
and pencil set. Herman was as
appreciative as Tommy but

All three had a chance at direct

Mont scored the Skins last two
touchdowns, getting the first on

the second on a 24-yard throw

CHICAGO. Nov. 21.-Ohio State
was officially named today as the
Big Ten team to play in the Rose
Bowl football game January 2.
The Buckeyes, co-champions
with Michigan in the Big Ten,
probably will oppose California
of the Pacific Coast conference.
Thus Ohio State would have a
chance to avenge a $50 defeat
handed them in 1921 by Cali
fornia.

sioner K. l.. -CTug) Wilson of the
sWestern conference. Faculty rep

their first, second and third selec-
,tions for the bowl game at
Pasadena, Calf.
Minnesota was the only other
team regarded as Big Ten bowl
possibility. /
Michigan was not eligible to
return to the Rose Bowl this
session because of the provisions
of the Pacific Coast-Big Ten pact
which prohibited Big Ten team
from participating more than
, once in three years.
Minnesota finished third in the
Big Ten race. but scored a 27-0
victory over Ohio State. Gopher
partisans pointed out that Ohio
State did not play Purdue, the
only other team besides Michigan
which defeated Minnesota this
season. Michigan upset the Goph-
ers, 14-7, compared with its TT
tie with Ohio State for the title
share last Saturday.
Out of Bowl for rs Years.
It was California's pasting OF
Ohio State which caused the en-
barrassed Big Ten to excuse itself
from the Rose Bowl for 26 years,

achieved in the leagues 53-year

UP as a factor in the merry
scramble for Western honors. And
this despite their 31-21 setback by
the Chicago Bears before 30,148

a mite closer to the pacemaking
