7 Bowl Teams Battle
In Game al Austin
BY the Associated Press

Football, which has been easing
into the Nations sports picture
for several weeks, presents a
countrywide schedule today that
would do credit to a mid-season
Saturday.
Heading the card is the clash
of two of last New Years Day
bowl teams-Kentucky and Texas
at Austin.
And if that is not enough to
whet the appetite of the college
fan, there are such other major
clashes as Southern Methodist
Georgia Tech. North Carolina
North Carolina State. Oregon
State Michigan State, Fordham-
Missouri, Duke-South Carolina
and out on the West Coast, Cali
fornla-Santa Clara, Southern Cal
Iifornia Washington State and
Stanford Oregon.
The big game at Austin sends
the great Kentucky Wildcats, who
halted Oklahoma in the last Sugar
Bowl, against a Texas Longhorn
outfit that lost to Tennessee in
the Cotton Bowl.
Texas Slight Choice.
Both teams are changed, but
Texas still has that rock-ribbed
defense that put it over the hump
in the Southwest Conference last
season. The Longhorns figure to
need every ounce of it, too, since
they'll be meeting one of the fin
est passers in football - Vito
(Babe) Parilli. Texas scouts have
labeled him the greatest passer
lthty have seen outside of pro
football.
1t is the second game of the
campaign for Kentucky. The
Wildcats last week trampled Ten
.nessee Tech, 1918, as Longhorn
scouts looked on and shook their
heads over the passing exhibition
Iof Parilli. Texas will be opening
the season.
Despite what appears to be a
heavy edge in offense for Ken
lucky, Texas goes to the post a
slight favorite in the wagering.
The game not only will be de-
Tense VS.. Parilli but a couple Of
stormy fullbacks could put on a
glittering duel-Byron Townsend.
the Texas workhorse, and Bill
Leskovar of Kentucky who rolled
up 673 yards with the ball in 1850
Townsend gained BAL.
A crowd of $4,000 to $4,000 is
expected.
Spartans Play Coast Team.
In East Lansing. Mich, Michi-
gan State, one of the Nations top
teams, is opening its campaign
against Oregon State.
Coach Biggie Munn's talent
laden Spartans were favorites over
the Far West visitors, although
there was precedent for trouble
Two years ago, underdog Oregon
State upset Michigan State, 1920.
IA crowd of 10000 was expected
for this battle.
Kyle Rote no longer is at South
ern Methodist but Fred Benners
