NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-About
100000 football fans will pay ap-
proximately So million Monday for
the twin privileges of taking their
headaches out in the fresh air and
watching the IL college bowl
games.
The days largest crowd, an ex-
pected throng of 100000, will
gather at Pasadena, Calf, for the
annual Rose Bowl contest which
this time pits California, cham
pion of the Pacific Conference
against Michigan, kingpin of the
Big Ten.
1t will be the third straight time
for the Californians, who haven't
won since the Big Ten-Pacific
Coast agreement went into effect.
And over the years, 1t also will be
the third appearance for Michigan.
The Wolverines triumphed by
identical 49-to-0 scores in previous
. Western visits.
-. California Slight Favorite.
This time the Midwest club has
been a slight underdog despite
word from Coach Ben Oosterbaan
that both Chuck Ortmann and Leo
Koceski, pair of top1ight backs,
are in good conditions for the first
time since November.
Oklahoma, also making a third
straight appearance, meets Ken
tucky in the Sugar Bowl at New
Orleans before the days second
largest crowd, $4,000. Because of
a difference in ticket prices, how
ever, gate receipts at both the Rose
and Sugar Bowl games will ap-
proximate S450,000.
The Cotton Bowl at Dallas,
where Tennessee and Texas are
the foes, expects 75,349 visitors,
while the Orange Bowl, with
Miami and Clemson the attraction,
hopes to draw $4,000.
The Gator Bowl at Jackson
vile, growing steadily and hoping
soon to make the big four the big
five in the fowl industry, will lure
10000 fans through the turnstiles
with unbeaten Wyoming mixing
1t with Washington & Lee.
The six smaller bowls hope to
attract $4,000 fol- a days turnout
that may equal the $4,000 who
witnessed the 13 games on the
January l program a year ago.
Big Injury List.
Although five Oklahomans have
been on the hospital list during
the final week of workouts, the
Big Seven champions are slight
Ifavorites to defeat Kentucky,
Southeast Conference champs, and
extend modern footballs greatest
winning streak to 80 games.
Probably the most rugged line
play of the day will be unfurled
at Dallas when Tennessee and
Texas tangle. Each team boasts
an All-America guard. Texas sup
porters will cheer Bud McFadin,
while the Vols cohorts will follow
the efforts of Ted Daffer.
Miami's own university, un-
beaten but tied once in an ambi-
tious 10-game schedule, is the
slight favorite over Clemson al
though Coach Andy Gustafson has
had to find a new quarterback
because of injuries to Jack
Hackett. Coach Frank Howard Of
Clemson has complained that his
players have lacked zest during
their workouts since Christmas.
Talboom Leads Cowboys.
Eddie Talboom, one of the Ma
tion's leading scorers, is the lure
in the Gator Bowl contest at Jack
sonville. Talboom and his Cow
boy mates are favorites over the
crippled Washington & Lee team,
which piled up eight victories in
10 games during the season to
annex the Southern Conference
1aurels.
Of the six lesser games, only the
Cigar Bowl contest at Tampa can
boast an undefeated cast. The
$4,000 spectators there will see
the Lacrosse Teachers from Wis
consin share blocks and tackles
with Valparaiso University of
Indiana. Both clubs marched un-
scathed through nine-game sched-
ules.
