DALLAS, Jan. 1.-The Cotton
Bowl matches Texas and Tennes-
see today in a game expected to
furnish most of its thrills with
crushing blocks and shattering
tackles.
Few anticipate many goal-line
crossings. but all think they'll see
a game quite foreign to the
Southwest, noted for flying foot
balls.
Blair Cherry, silvery haired
Texas coach. steps down after this
game, and Line Coach Ed Price
will succeed him.
The games matches the single
wing as firmly favored by Gen.
Bob Neyland of Tennessee and
the T formation, which Cherry
installed at Texas four years ago.

was minor -leaguer in passing.
Tennessee had the best pass-de-
Tense record in the Nation, inter-
cepting % and allowing an av-
erage of only 59.2 yards per game.
So perhaps it is to Tennessee's
disadvantage that Texas probably
won't be trying more than it's
average of IA throws. Neyland
says Tennessee is "in the 20
passes per game league" although
the Vols averaged fewer than half
that many

Neyland said his team didn't
try as many passes as the coaches
told it to. 'The boys found their
ground attack working all right
and chose to run most of the
time" he explained.

schedules with a single loss. Ten

Joe Will Take Vacation.

Joe Will Take Vacation.
Culmone said every one was
wonderful to him in Havana and
that he would spend New Years
with his wife in Miami. Then he
figures on two-week vacation.
Shoemaker planned to resume
riding today at Santa Anita, Calf.
Less than a month ago, Cul-
none was Is winners ahead Of
Shoemaker. Before that, in late
October. Willie led by five. Cul-
none had spill at Tropical Park
December Is and that, plus an
ear infection. cost him four riding
days.
Culmone won three aU Tropical
Park and Shoemaker won four
at Fair Grounds Saturday to tie
at 385 and carry the duel to the
last day.
Besides being the same age,
married. hustling riders and shar-
ing in two national titles, the boys
have little in common.
Little Joe, an immigrant from
Sicily, is a chesty, cigar-smoking
lad with no inhibitions. He's the
aggressive sort and to him, such
things as restraint and reserve
are something you use on a
horse when you want to rate your
mount off the leaders for a late
run. He is confident, cocky lad
and a daring rider.
Miller Feat More Notable.
Shoemaker. a tiny, taciturn lad
from Ell Paso, is a firm believer in
the adage that action speaks
louder than words. It's hard to
get him to speak. Capable and
popular, he has little use for fan
fare and acclaim-or at least,
doesn't appear to have.
In 1949. Culmore had only 432
mounts and 40 winners while
Shoemaker had 1,089 mounts and
219 victories.
Little Joe and his dad came
to this country from Sicily four
years ago. He had his first
mount at Tropical Park in Decem-
Der 1948 and his first winner came
at Atlantic City in June 1949.
He won on Orestone, which paid
$73.40 for So. He has two older
brothers and two younger sisters,
still in Sicily. where as a boy he
rode horses on the farm.
Shoemaker won his first race in
April. 1949. at Golden Gate in
California and has been riding
just about two years. He scales
102 pounds, 6 less than Culmone.
Willie is the oldest of six children.
His father is a rubber factory
worker in California, the family
living in suburban Ell Monte.
Shoemaker has the satisfaction
of knowing he got his 388 winners
with less mounts than Culmone.
But in that respect Miller still has
the top percentage. In his days,
six-race cards prevailed instead
of eight and nine, competition
was very tough and jockeys did
not have the chance to fly around
the country for extra mounts.
The Culmone Shoemaker duel
was reminiscent of the 1910 race,
when Earl Dew edged w. L. Taylor
in a late December drive.

To Tie MiIIer's S Mark

NEW YORK. Jan. Mime
teen-year-old jockeys Joe Cul-
none and Willie Shoemaker
wound up all even for 1850
national riding honors in a duel
that didn't end until the waning
hours of the old year.
Each booted home three win
ners yesterday and ended with
388 for the year after the tightest
race on record. The jockeys also
tied the 44-year-old national
mark set by Walter Miller.
There is no Sunday racing in
this country so both had to fly
to widely-separated tracks to
battle right to the last minute.
Culmone rode in all eight races
at Havana and Shoemaker rode

flew from Florida and Shoe
maker from New Orleans for the
final day.
Culmone finished his riding

and led Shoemaker by one unit!

Caliente.
Shoemaker Finishes Strong.
Willie broke out in the last
race of the year to win by Is
lengths and tie Culmone. The
Texan jumped into the winners
circle. kissed his wife and said:
I'm happy the way it finished"
And" he added, speaking of
Culmone and Miller, I'm glad to
be in tie with two great Jockeys"
Culmone showed less happiness.
"I'm disappointed T couldn't
break Miller's record, but I'm
happy as long as Shoemaker didn't
break it. I'll try to break it next
year." Then he added, II got
some tough breaks today, but I
did my best"
Culmone won the second race
on Misle ($2.40). the fourth on
Airsis ($2.20, which ran a dead
heat with Chestwick, and the fifth
on Shirleys Pride ($4.00. He also
finished third in four events and

Sugar Bowl Fans See
Sooner Scoring Punch
Tested on Kentucky
BY the Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS. Jan. Okla
homa's national football cham
pions aim their scoring punch at
Kentucky and Sugar Bowl victory
No. 8 today.
That scoring punch must be
hard enough to blast through
Kentucky's stout line and to keep
Kentucky's Parilli-Leskovar Of
fense from getting up steam.
Oklahoma Coach Bud Wilkin-
son makes it no secret that his
squad isn't overly strong defen-
sively. He bases his victory hopes
on his ability to outscore Ken
lucky. Oklahoma's scoring ability
is unquestioned. It's carried VIII
kinson's teams to 81 straight VIC
tories over a three-season span.
Some $4,000 fans are expected
to see Oklahoma, a one-touch-
down fayorite, take on what may
be its toughest Sugar Bowl rival.
Kentucky won 10 and lost to Ten

Kentucky Has Star Backs.
They'll see what Wilkinson de-
scribes as an Oklahoma team
that won on morale and luck and
what Coach Paul Bryant calls a
Kentucky team that surged into
the national spotlight because 1t
was willing to pay the price.
Outscoring Kentucky may be
hard to do. for Kentucky has a
pair of touchdown generators who
are hard to stop. Passing Quar-
terback Vito (Babe) Parilli con-
nected for % touchdowns during
the regular season and Fullback
Bill Leskovar is powerful run

Kentucky, ranked seventh ma
tionally in the final Associated
Press poll, also has a stout for
ward WALL anchored by ALL
America Tackle Bob Gain.
Oklahoma counters with a pair
OF All-America performers, also
linemen. They are Tackle Jim
Weatherall and End Frank An
derson. The offensive might is
built around Quarterback Claude
Arnold. Halfback Billy Vessels
and Fullback Leon Heath.
Heath won the most-valuable-
player award in the Sugar Bowl
last year, when Oklahoma smoth-
cred Louisiana State, $50. He
also played when his team whipped
North Carolina, 1916, in it's first
Sugar Bowl victory.

The game may be battle of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. VS.. Parilli.
Parilli has the statistical edge in
passing, but Arnold has connected
with 81 of ia for 1,O48 yards and
13 touchdowns. He's had only one
intercepted.
Both are ball handling wizards
and make the decisions on the
field.
Wilkinson said his 1850 team
has Is or so fine players, but lacks
the reserves that made his 1948
and 1949 teams outstanding. He
has three dozen sophomores.
One of them Is Vessels, the
fiashy halfback who gained $40
yards in 1875 tries. He is a break
