Sugar Bowl Delaying Bid Teps Until Acceptance Is Certain

Players May Decide Choice
By MerreiI WhittIesey

The sugar Bowl never has been
turned down by q team it invited,
and 1t is this angle that is hold
ing up the bowl negotiations at
Maryland, it was learned today.
Sugar Bowl officials, proud of
this record, are ready to tender
an invitation to the unbeaten,
united Terps to compete at New
Orleans on New Years Day, but
will not extend an official bid
until Maryland Is ready to accept.
Meanwhile, Leonard M. Green,
president Of the Cotton Bowl Ath-
letic Association and chairman Of
the Selection Committee for the
Dallas classic, still was in town
and awaiting q conference with
Jim Tatum. Maryland coach and
athletic director.
what would happen if Green
extended an official invitation to
the Cotton Bowl to you today?"
Tatum was asked.
Decision Must Wait.
Big Jim said it would take sew
|eral days before any action could
be taken. DR.. H. c. Byrd, president
LOT the University of Maryland,
will not return until tomorrow
from q meeting Of land grant col
leges In Houston.
Then If bowl bid was offered
1t would have to go before the
athletic council. the players, and
the Southern Conference, Tatum
added.
Green said he wanted to talk
to Tatum to see what business
Maryland has been doing with the
Sugar Bowl, and although he said
lit with a laugh, that undoubtedly
will be one of the first orders of
business when Green and Tatum
meet.
The Sugar Bowl did not have a
representative at the Maryland
Navy game last Saturday, as an
nounced. but the New Orleans of
f1cials have talked with Tatum
over the phone several times since
Maryland played LSU at Baton
Rouge. During the Louisiana visit,
DE-. Byrd. Tatum and other Mary
land athletic board members met
with Sugar Bowl committee mem
bers at Baton Rouge the night be-
fore the Terps met the Tigers.
| Vols Due for One Place,
There are two places open at
the Sugar Bowl. although Tennes-
see probably will get one of them
while only one place is open in the
Cotton Bowl. There the Southwest
Conference champion, probably
Texas Christian, Baylor or Rice
will be the host.
Tennessee played in the Cotton
Bowl last year and defeated
Texas. Usually a team does not
return to the same bowl two
straight years, but Green said
that would not prevent the Cotton
Bowl from inviting Tennessee
again If the Vols were the most
desired team.
i II both bowls should invite
Maryland, the choice may be left
up to the players. Tatum said he
