MUSTANGS ARE FAVORITES TO BEAT STANFORD Victory ForS.M.U. Would Give East Rose Bowl Lead Now York, Dec. 3. —<U.R> —Southern Methodist will have an opportunity to write a new page in Rose Bowl history when it meets Stanford New Year's Day. Th? aerial-minded MuatangJ. the first southwestern eleven to be invited west, can rocket the "east" into the lead it they "efeat the men from Palo Alto. The series is even at eight victories for the west, eight for the east and three ties. An 8. M. V. triumph would put the eastern representatives ahead for the first time since 1901, when Michigan defeated Stanford. 49-0, in the first Rose Bowl game. Victory also would mark the third straight eastern triumph a tring never before rolled up uy either section. Stanford, with the worst record of any team that has played in the bowl, will be on the spot insofar as upholding the prestige of the Pacific coast in the Pasadena clash is concerned. The Indians started the series wltn a defeat and won only in six appearances.

J that wus In 1925. when Pittsburgh 'fell. In 1927 they played a 7-7 tie with Alabama. They lost to Nbtre I Du me, 27-10, in 1925. In 1934 the Red team’s husky ! sophomores went into the bowl I heavily favored over Columbia but I lost, 7-0. This year Alabama's | "Crimson tide" burled Messrs. Grayson, Alustiza, Hamilton and I the rest under a barrage of passes | to win, 29 13. I Eariy odds on the game in New | York today made the Mustangs slight favorites to give Stanford its third straight licking in the huge Pasadena stadium. Indications were that S. M. U. would be at least an S-5 favorite at game time. The Mustangs will be the first newcomers to the bowl since Columbia went west to begin the string which enabled Alabama to deadlock the series this year. Behind them stands the greatest winning streak of the 1935 campaign—ll straight victories. And it's almost certain 8. M. U. will have an even dozen, for the Mustangs close their season this week against a comparatively weak Texas A. and M eleven. Rated off the records. S M. U. is the logical choice to win. In II games it rolled up 264 points to 32 for the opposition. Only opponents to score were Washington V.. Hardin Simmons and the Texas Christians. Stanford, in eight games, scored only 114 points against 13 for its opponents. Three of the Indians' games were won on field goals, two of them — Santa Clara and Southern California—by the slend-

er margin of three poiuU. Tho I other, Washington, was won, 6-0, 'on two kicks by Jim "Monk" Mos'crip BALL STATE TO .! OPEN NET CARD Muncie College Has Only Two Regulars From Last Season Muncie, Ind.. Dee. 3. With but j two regular varsity basketbull men of previous seasons the Ball State Cardinals open theTr net season , this week. They open with Tayior University at Muncie on Wednesday evening and then go to Bloomington Friday evening to open the Indiana schedule. , Lost by graduation from last . year’s team were Wilson and Mercer. Carr is not back tnis year because of illness, and Bolander, Feasel and Lewellen did not come out for t.,e team this year. Two regulars “ om last year. Shuck and St ring, were injured in football ami neither will be able to play this week, though both should be ready ' lor Indiana Central. December 14. Meyer, a regular forward last year, is slated to be in the starting irne-up for both games. Out of school last year but a member of the varsity two and three years ago. Hcsher will probably be used by Coach McCracken in both games this week. Th<- only otner experienced man is Showalter, a reserve center last year who may see a lot of action this year. The other nine members of the squad are all sophomores, and though they have speed and size, their lack of varsity experience is certain to put tnem under handicap. As a treshman team last year they were undefeated, but the competition they met was not anything like what they will be up against this year. Listed among the sophomores are Rex and Max Rudicel, who are brothers. Rex graduated from Huntington nigh school in 1930. His size five feet four inches and 145 pounds of weight makes him the smallest man in Indiana col- : lege basketball this year. There are also Don Casterline and Joe Risinger of Hartford City. Others are: Marvin Stout, of Winimac: Forrest Shook, of Batesville; Raymond Lackey, of Shelbyville; Lowell Koontz, of Bremen; Alvy Havens, of Elwood. Stout and Shook will not he elgible for the Taylor game but will ne ready for the Indiana game. i With Indiana it will be sort of a get-together for the teams. McCracken the Ball State basketball coach used to be an all-conference basketbail man for Coach Dean at Indiana. Marvin Stout, the sophomore. is a brother of Lester Stout, the Indiana regular. Lackey of Ball State and Gunning of Indiana used to play high school basketball together at Shelbyville'. o Silver Trophy To Be Given Winner Berne Ind..
