Stout Maryland
Facing Flashy
Tiger Attack
$4,000 Are Expected
To See Teams Fight
For First Bowl Win d.
By Froncis Stonn
Sfor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 2.
1t was the old, old story of a
high-powered offense against a
first-class defense as Missouri and
Maryland engaged today in the
fifth annual Gator Bowl football
game. A crowd estimated at 25,-
900 was expected to attend.
Although Maryland actually
scored more points last season
than Missouri-233 to 230-Coach
Don Faurot's Tigers were conceded
to be the more dangerous Of
fensive team because they played
a tougher schedule and rolled up
big scores against the likes of
Ohio State, S. M. u, Nebraska,
etc
Terps Yield Few Points.
Maryland. on the other hand,
had such big edge defensively
that not even a difference in
schedules wiped it out. The Ter
rapins yielded only IS points in
nine games, as compared with the
1876 points given up, by Missouri.
Betting on the Gator Bowl
game practically was on an even
basis. Oddsmakers are quoting
the thrice-beaten Tigers a one
point favorite over the once-de-
feated Terrapins. OF all the ma
jer bowl games, Jacksonville's
Gator offered the best match in
the eyes of the bettors.
The Maryland squad left train
ing quarters at Ponte Vedra Beach
today by bus for Jacksonville,
where Missouri has been quar-
tered since Saturday. Following
the game, players, coaches and
officials of both schools will be
feted and tomorrow the Terps
will enplane for home.
Both Seek First Bowl Win.
Neither Maryland nor Missouri
ever has been a bowl winner.
Missouri's drought extends
through four ties. The Tigers
couldn't find victory in the
Orange, Sugar. Cotton or Gator
Bowls against Georgia Tech,
Fordham, Texas and Clemson.
Maryland is making it's second
attempt, having tied Georgia in
the Gator Bowl, 1920, in l943.

beaten by the Royals twice thus
far this season.
Ever since the season began,
every one has been wondering
when Washington would begin to
roll in the manner of bygone
years. 1t started last season with
a 15-game streak and rolled easily
to the Basketball Association of
Americas Eastern Division title.
This year in the newly formed

to win only two games in success

Syracuse, which bowed to the
Caps last week in Washington,

record Syracuse crowd of 8,709.
That marked the last regular
meeting between the two teams
this season and preserved the Mats

at first" warned Cap Player-C Coach
Bob Feerick before the season

Tuesday, Dec. 7, by unanimous voice
the Walter Naturalization bill to
eliminate race in naturalization. The
bill now goes to the Senate.
The vote on the bill, whose chief

after Pearl Harbor. This prompted
Mike Masaoka. national JACL Anti

the great change of sentiment in
this nation towards its loyal Japan
csc and other Asian immigrants. .
Action on the bill took perhaps
less than five minutes There was
no debate. Rep. Francis E. Walter,
Cd. PENN, arose to explain the
bill. The Speaker then announced
no opposition to the bills passage.
Thus, it won, for the fifth time.

WASHINGTON d. c.. Dec. |;

facing the JACL Anti-Discrimina-
ton Committee in its drive fol-
passage of the Walter Naturaliza
ton bill during the lame duck
session of Congress.
No date has yet been set for
adjournment. but the consensus
is the S1st Congress may attempt
to clean up its work and go home
around December %, two weeks
from today.
This raises the question: Is there
time for the Senate to act ON the
Walter bill which passed the House
unanimously last week?
Mike Masaoka national JACL
Ado legislative director, said today
that prospects are none too good
the Senate will complete action
on the bill before adjournment.
The bill was referred by the Sen
ate today to the Judiciary Commit
tee. The committee is expected to
endorse the bill when it meets. al
though no session of the Judiciary
has yet been called for next week.
If it does not meet next week, then
Masaoka said chances of pass age
of the Walter Naturalization legis-
lation will really be slim"
The House approved the bill with
out word of opposition, though
earlier when sponsors Of the mea-
sure attempted to get it through
by unanimous consent, Rep. Ran
kin, 3D., Miss, objected The House
was prepared TO vote on the bill,
