Scramble For
Bowl Bids Is
Now

NEW YORK tH - The scramble
for teams for the Jan. / football
bowl Spectacles was on today with
New Orleans Sugar Bowl out in
front of the pack,
Georgia Tech, unbeaten, untieC
and unsurpassed at the moment
as a bowl attraction, agreed to
play in the Sugar Bowl yesterday,
thus becoming one of the earliest
bowl-bound teams since the New
Years Day classics were started.
Who the powerful Engineers, third
ranked in the Associated Press poll,
will meet is anybody's guess.
The Rose Bowl at Pasadena,
grand-daddy of the January spec
tacleS, will, of course, match the
Pacific Coast Conference and Big
Ten champions Dallas Cotton
Bowl viii have the Southwest Con-
ference winner as host team. But
the three conference races are far
from settled, and nobody can say
for sure at this date who'll be de-
Tending conference honorS Jan. 1.
The Miami Orange Bowl, fourth
of the big four bowls, will hold
committee meeting this week
end, and members declined to dis
cuss any possible teams until then.
A spokesman commented, how
ever, that November is an i'm
portant month in football and we
want to pick the best teams"
A rundown of the top 10 teams
shows that only one other team,
eighth-ranked Tennessee, is eligi-
bic for a bowl bid. The Volunteers,
who have appeared in many bowl
games in past years, are still try
ing to live down an early season
loss to Duke, which was whomped,
2S-7, by Georgia Tech last Satur-
day.
Michigan State, No. l, is a men,
Der of the Big Ten, although not
eligible for conference football
competition until next year. Mary
land, No. 2, is barred by Southern
Conference ruling against bowl
games.
Oklahoma, No. 4, and Kansas,
No. z, are members of the Big
Seven, which frowns on bowls,
while UCLA, No. s will meet sixth
ranked Southern California Nov.
Is in the battle for Pacific Coast
honors.
Purdue, No. 9, is the current
favorite to meet the UCLA-USC
winner in the Rose Bowl, and Notre
Dame, No. 10. does not go in for
bowl games.

Newspapers Made Better Showing Than Pro
Pollsters On Predicting Ike Victory,
But No One FOresaw Actual Landslide

NEW YORK R-Several news.
paper surveys outdid the profes.
sional pollsters this year on the
presidential election. However, no.
body's ear caught the rumble Of
the advancing Eisenhower land
slide.
The Gallup, Roper and Crossley
polls all seemed to give Dwight D.
Eisenhower an edge during the
hours before Tuesdays election.
But none fatty picked him.
The only professional poll that
did was Kenneth Fink's Princeton
Research Service. But his margin
was far short of the actual one.
An Associated Press survey of
editors across the nation showed
Eisenhower the probable winner in
20 states, and with an edge in
eight, with a total of S27 electoral
votes. He actually carried all rs
states.
Samuel Lubell, who surveyed
prediction sentiment for the
Scripps- Howard newspapers, said
in vance that Eisenhower
"should win" Lubell terms him
self a reporter and not pollster,
and he said he rang doorbells in
strategic communities. He found
definite switch from those who
voted for President Truman in 1s4s
to Eisenhower in 1852.
"There never was any doubt in
my mind about Eisenhower" he
said after the election gave the
general 80 states and 442 electoral
votes. Democrat Adlai E. Steven
son got nine states and SO electoral
votes.
Another newsman, David Law
renee, Washington correspondent,
surveyed editors of daily news
papers in every state. In his daily
column syndicated by the New
York Herald Tribune on Nov. 8,
he gave 357 electoral votes to Eli
senhower and lac to Stevenson.
The New York Times published
a state-by-state survey the same
day and found % states with 256
electoral votes favoring or leaning
toward Eisenhower. Stevenson
was ahead or favored in is states
with 165 votes. Nine states with
ITO votes were listed as doubtful.
The final story of the Associated
Press survey, appearing in Sunday
newspapers, Oct. 26, started this
way:
''Newsmen over the nation be-
lieve 1852 would 60 down as q Re-
publican year with Gen. Dwight d.
Eisenhower the probable winner
over Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, If
the presidential election had been
held in midi October.
Newspaper editors and political
correspondents who made two po-
litical surveys for the Associated
Press clocked Eisenhower as lead
ing the presidential sweepstakes
around Labor Day. They estimate
he has picked up strength since
then in 80 Of 48 states"
In IL states, the AP survey
showed newsmen picking Steven

Ike Will Be Most
Sports Minded
Chief Executive
By WILL cRIMSL EY

NEW YORK B - Gen. Dwight
d. Eisenhower, the President
elect, is perhaps the most sports
minded chief executive in our ma
tons history.
He was football player at West
Point, proud of the fact he once
tackled the great Jim Thorpe. He
took a brief fling at baseball in
the Central League. Today - still
at his old playing weight Of 173
pounds-he shoots a bangup game
Of golf.
When A. B. (Happy) Chandler
was dismissed as commissioner of
baseball more than a year ago,
Eisenhower was among those con-
Sidered for the post. But his duties
as NATO chief in Europe were too
important.
Ike is an avid sports fan.
Football is a tremendous spec
tacle." he says. Remember saw
my first game from the sidelines

Also Missouri, Arizona and Okla
homa, which went to Eisenhower.
| Five states--Massachusetts, Ten
nessee, Utah, Virginia and Wash
ington-were classified in AP sur
veys as doubtful with an edge to
Stevenson. All were taken by
Eisenhower.
There were four tossups in the
AP survey tabulation. Eisenhower
took three of them-Florida, Rhode
Island and Texas. Stevenson got
the other-Louisiana.
Among professional polIsters,
Fink gave Eisenhower little over
so per cent of the popular vote
and Stevenson a little over 4S per
cent.
George Gallup, director of the
American Institute of Public 0pin-
ion, presented prediction figures
which gave Eisenhower a per
cent edge on Stevenson but listed
Is per cent of the electorate as un-
decided.
Gallup admitted afterwards he
undereStimated the Republican
victory, but said his poll stayed
within its normal margin of error"
Archibald M. CrosSley, director
Of the Crossley Poll, said a few
hours before the election that it
"can still 60 either way"
However, his figures gave Eisen-
hover about S per cent edge
over Stevenson with 90 per cent
undecided.
He said afterwards the big Re-
publican effort to get out the vote
apparently turned the trick.
Elmo Roper, head of the Roper
Poll, did not try to break down
the prediction findings into per-
centages. He said, instead, There
ought to be enough people still
undecided to throw this election
either way"
He conceded after the election
he was "open to the charge of
being overly cautious this year"

UCLA over Oregon State: Should

The Strand Theater baseball
club has scheduled two games for
the coming weekend.
On Saturday afternoon, they will
cross bats with the highly touted
USS Bushnell nine. The Navy SQUAD
has been drilling regularly and
are going to be tough to beat.
The movie boys, with Macias in
the box and Roberts behind the
plate will field a team that has
beaten just about the best that
they have come up against.
Then, on Sunday afternoon the
Strand will tackle the USS Gilmore
nine in what promises to be an
other tough test. In past contests
between these two clubs, the action
has been hot and heavy with the
won-loSt record just about even.
The game is scheduled to get un-
derway at 100 p. m.
Khaki Rodriguez is expected to
handle the hurting for the Strand
with Roberts again getting the back
stopping assignment.
For the Gilmore it will be Lefty

be played on the Naval Station
