North Favored Today
In Senior Bowl Game;
Three Terps on Squad
BY the Asseeicted Pres.

~'ASS~A3t <A4et.S On4As Os-C VI VI1C
first time in their lives so star
players from 80 schools in "a
States play football today for
money instead of glory.
(The game will be broadcast
over Station WTOP at 2:3O
| o'clock.)
The game-called the Senior
Bowl because all the stars are in
their final college year-gives each
player on the winning team $500
and each player on the losing
team $400.
If there's a tie they split the
pot at the rate of $3.50 each.
For the sake of convenience the
group of so is divided as equally
Jas possible and the teams are
called North and South.
Three Terps in Game.
High on the list Of stars gath
cred for the game are three Uni
versity Of Maryland players who
starred in the recent Sugar Bowl
triumph over Tennessee-Fullback
ED Modzelewski, All-America
Guard Bob Ward and Halfback
Bob Shemonski.
Both Ward and Shemonski are
listed as probable starters on the
North's defensive platoon-She-
monski at end. Several other
players have been moved from
their regular positions for today's
game, notably Pug Pearman of
Tennessee and Jim Weatherall of
Oklahoma. Both are All-America
tackles. but they'll be defensive
ends today.
Modzelewski Is not listed as a
starting player. but off his sea-
sons record and especially since
he was chosen the outstanding
player in the Sugar Bowl game
he is certain to see much action
in the North's offensive backfield.
North Looks Better.
/ In two previous Senior Bowls
the South squad won 20-13 and
1916. This year the North squad
looks at least q touchdown better
on the strength Of a stronger line,
four extra days of working to-
gether. and wet field.
The Southerners-with Bill
Wade Of Vanderbilt and Babe
Parilli of Kentucky-are passing
specialists. and wet field will do
them no good.
The names North and South are
misleading. Tulane and South
Carolina have players on each
squad. Florida State supplied
Guard Bill Dawkins to the Yanks.
Two men from Arkansas are on
the North team and Center Frank
Mittendorf of Cincinnati plays for
the South.
The Rebels are coached by Steve
Owen OF the professional New York
Giants. The Yanks, including
seven Texans, are coached by
Wilbur Eubanks and Fritz Heis-
Ter, assistant coaches of the Cleve-
land Browns.
Paul Brown, regular Cleveland
and North team coach, was forced
by his pro contract to leave the
Senior Bowl Thursday and go to
Los Angeles for the Pro Bowl
game January IL.
Pros Send Scouts.
Every professional team in
major league football has either a
head coach, an assistant or a
scout here for the game. The
pro draft January II in New
York will be heavily Influenced by
what the so players do here to-
day.
Team captains for the game
are Wade. Parilli and Doug Nose
ley, like Parilli, a Kentucky play
er, for the South. North captains
are Frank Clifford of Southern
California, Jim Weatherall of
|Oklahoma and Gerald Mckinley
|of Pennsylvania.
