Anyway, the muscle and brain
men from "a institutions of higher
learning headed by California
and Ohio State in the Rose Bowl
are preparing to deliver New
Years greetings in a dozen bowl
games stretching from Florida to
Honolulu.
Half million persons, count
ing ushers, special cops and hot
dog vendors, are scheduled to sit
in on the games. Millions of others
will listen on the radio or view the
games on local television setups.
The biggest crowd-some 103,-
000-will attend the Rose Bowl
classic. where Ohio State hopes to
prove that the score of the 1921
game was all a big mistake. In

yards. He figured in all four Gray
touchdowns and scored one him

But despite the heralded South
ern passing attack, it was the
North that took to the air most
often. Quarterbacks Bernie Krue-

most of the 33 aerials the Blues

Although the Dixie coaching

Lost-period Rally
Puts Feerick Team
Back at 500 Mark

The Caps lodged an early pro-
test in their game against the
New York Knickerbockers at Uline
Arena last night. Then, probably
figuring the protest would be ig-
nored, they went out and overlook
the Knicks and beat them for
the first time this season, 1854.
A big crowd announced by the
management as 6,105, turned out
for the NBA game and the pre-
liminary in which the Harlem
Globe Trotters won their Goth
straight in defeating the New
York Celtics, 58-49. (Story of Globe
Trotter-Celtic game on Page B-3.)
The Caps were trailing. $3.50,
midway in the last quarter when
they suddenly went to work and
scored 10 straight points to go
ahead at 60-55. Most of the re-
naming minutes were spent at
the foul line and the Caps lead
was not seriously threatened.
Protest Lodged Early.
Player-Coach Bob Feerick an
nounced early in the game that
the Caps were playing under
protest. The incident that caused
Feerick to blow up came about
when Carl Braun was dribbling
down the floor and was fouled by
Bones Mckinney. Referee John
Stevens, who doubles as an
American League umpire, called
the foul on Mckinney, then per-
mitted a basket by Gene James
to count although the ball was
shot after his timid whistle on
the Braun play. Braun missed the
foul.
The biggest margin in the
game was eight points, the Knicks
holding that at 22-14. It was a.
