do. Neyland said Texas must have
a better line and backf1eld but he
wasn't about to predict defeat al
though he wouldn't forecast VIC
tory. Cherry said it would be a
tough game and that the winner
would have to score three touch
downs.
Which is against all other pre-
dictions. Most folks think there
won't be more than a touchdown
difference.
Betting odds favor Texas by
seven points.
Both Lost One Game.
Each team won all except one
game on its schedule. Texas lost
to Oklahoma. the national cham
pion. 14-13, in a game quite a
few think the Longhorns should
have won. Tennessee, playing an
11-game scheduled compared to
Texas 10, fell before Mississippi
State in a TO early-season upset.
Texas outweighs Tennessee 10
pounds to the man. figuring both
offensive and defensive teams.
The Longhorns' offensive stars are
Fullback Byron Townsend and
Ben Tompkins. passer, kicker, run
ner and field general.
Versatile Hank Lauricella, who
gained 444 yards rushing and
passed for 323 and five touch
downs. is the solid gun of the
Tennessee offensive. The blaster

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 30.
How can one compare two foot
ball teams from a couple thousand
miles apart like Wyoming and
Washington and Lee?
Lots of folks, including the
gamblers, are wondering just that
even after watching both squads
tune up here for their meeting
in the Gator Bowl Monday.
Each has its star passer-runner-
field general: Gil Bocetti for
Washington and Lee and Eddie
Talboom for Wyoming. Both
teams have fast lines-not giants
but not little fellows either.
Early betting odds favor Wyo-
ming by seven points. But there
is plenty of support for Washing
ton and Lee. Even the loss of Walt
Michaels, fullback- linebacker. due
to an appendectomy hasn't damp
ened the ardor of hackers of the
Southern Conference champions.
One man in good position to
compare the two teams is Wyo-
ming Coach Bowden Wyatt. An
All-America end in 1888 when he
played for Tennessee, Wyatt also
coached in the Southeastern Con-
ference aind has seen plenty of
Southern Conference football.
II rate the game a tossup,"
Wyatt said.

Brewer Is Bidding for Browns,
De Witt Says Not For Sale

The Journal sports writer said
Miller told him the price offered
to the De Wits was satisfactory
to them, but that he was not
satisfied with what they were able
to give him. Lynch added that
Miller would not reveal what the
certain difficulties" were but that
probably they dealt with the
amount of stock the De Wits
could deliver, or some other finan-
cial problems.
When asked when the Browns
would be moved to Milwaukee if
his offer is accepted, Lynch said
Miller replied:
Immediately when playing IA
cilities are provided. My only in
terest is in getting major league
baseball facilities for Milwaukee"
Construction was started this
fall in Milwaukee on a stadium
which would provide facilities
comparable to those existing in
other major league cities. How
ever, the stadium is not expected
to be completed until 1852.
Miller said that in the interim
it might be possible to enlarge
Mllwaukee's present baseball ia
cilities now used by the Milwaukee
Brewers of the American Associa-
ton, form club owned by the
Boston Braves. Lynch also said
he mentioned the possibility Of
working out a plan with the Amer
ican League whereby the team
would play a higher proportion of
games on the road.

But Wyoming is mighty good
this year, the coach noted, adding:
"The players have poise, good

ANY team that goes through

Wyoming won nine straight, in
Guiding among it's victims Baylor

Arizona Hands First
Loss TO West Virginia
By the Associoted Press

MCRGANTOWN, w. Va, Dec.
30.-Arizona tonight handed West
Virginia its first basketball defeat
in seven starts, 68-67, when a
desperation shot in the final sec
ends was ruled good because of
interference by a Mountaineer.
Jack Howell's long set shot with
about 20 second remaining decided
the issue because Center Joe Ryan
of West Virginia leaned up to
touch the ball as it entered the
hoop. Ryan actually batted the
ball out.
The eart-stopping climax
which enabled Arizona to run its
mark to 81, had a capacity crowo
of 1000 on its feet. The decidine
goal also came just II seconds
after Ryan had put West Virginia
ahead. 67-66, with a fielder.
Mark Workman of West Virginie
took scoring honors with 18 point:
although the 60 center fouled Out

LEXINGTON, Va, Dec. 30.-It's
time somebody rigged up a special
ward for Washington and Lees
football team for trying to pre-
serve the funny side of sport.
The Generals, whose current
team meets Wyoming in the Gator
Bowl Monday. have become spe-
cailists at giving the folks bit
extra for their greenbacks.
It all started back in 1916 in
the famed mud battle with West
Virginia. It was such a rainy day
that the players could hardly rec
ognize each other. At one point,
End Bill Chipley wandered dazedly
back into a huddle. The signals
sounded strangely foreign to Bill.
It turned out this was because he
had become most unWelcome
visitor in West Virginia's huddle.
Then there was 1947's clash with
Richmond. Halfback Brian Bell
was loping down the Sidelines at

better than cruising speed. OF
sudden, Bell was confronted by
two beefy enemy tackles intent on
interrupting his touchdown mis-
sion. The intruders got set tc
spring on their prey when-pop!-
a photographer chose that moment
To film the collision.
But the photographer was mite
early, with the result the eyes of
the would-be tacklers were blinded
just long enough to allow Bell to
slip out of the trap and go on to
score.
OF course, the Generals all
time faux pax occurred in the
1949 game with Virginia, in which
one Robert Smith, a reserve
tackle, plucked himself a share
of dubious immortality. Smith,
suddenly seeing his II teammates
in need of assistance, galloped in
on an unauthorized flight from
the sidelines to smear a Cavalier
goalward- bound. To this day,
Smith still can't explain his i'm
petuosity.
During the 1850 Season.
The Generals, 10 and behold,
didn't have much time for frolic.
They were too busy winning the
Southern Conference title.
The boys were dead serious.
But their seriousness received
something of a jolt when the
team rolled into Knoxville to play
Tennessee. AS the Generals
climbed out of their one bus, an
astonished (and woefully untact-
fuD gatekeeper beloved:
Where's your other bus?"
Such statement might have
frightened less hardy teams into
retreating on the spot. Not w.

one-vehicle club to give the Vols
a terrible case of the shakes be-
fore finally yielding by a lone
touchdown.

Fred Miller of Milwaukee has sub
mitted a written offer to buy the
st. Louis Browns.

something between two and three

American League executives and
the De Witt brothers, who control
the Browns.
He said the offer will be accept
ed if certain difficulties" can be

Miller.

1--WE have had negotiations with
Miller and his attorney but we
have rejected all their offers,
which were verbal" De Witt said.
They asked us to put a price
on the club. If Miller has put his
offer in contract form, it has not
reached me yet"
De Witt added. however. the
club was not for sale. If it had
been, De Witt said, he would have
named a price for Miller when
they were talking.
Lynch claimed that the offer
from Miller, president of the Mil
Ter Brewing Co., came after dis
cussions at the recent major league
baseball meetings at st. Peters
burg, Fla. Lynch said he had
learned from an "unimpeachable
source" that American League
club owners discussed the poten-
tial transfer of the franchise from
st. Louis to Milwaukee and that
executives of most of the clubs
were in favor of it.
Lynch quoted Miller as stating
from his home in Oconomowoc,
Wis, today: 1T is true-the con-
tract is in the hands of the De
Wits and the American League.
I cannot discuss the matter until
they have reached a decision.
