COACHESPICK BOWL WINNERS Football Coaches Recommend Two Changes In Rules New Orleans. Dec. 30. — <U.R> ~ Louisiana State. Auburn, California. Rice, and Texas Tech today were visioned as winners of five New Year's Day bowl games by 17 of the nation's outstanding coaches. Attending sessions of the American Football Coaches Association convention here, the mentors voted in a United Press poll as follows: Rose bowl: California, 9; Alabama. 8. Sugar bowl: Louisiana State, 12: Santa Clara. 5. Cotton bowl: Rice Institute. 15: Colorado. 2. Orange bowl: Auburn. 12: Michigan State. 5. Sun bowl: Texas Tech. 12; West Virginia 5. The biggest favorite was Rice, picked by all but two coaches. They admitted they were guessing. pinning their selection on Whizzer White, saying “any boy who can work his way through school, play football and win a Rhodes scholarship can lead his team to a victory.” ‘ An interesting commentary on the Rose Bowl game was that few southern coaches picked Alabama to win. Most of the crimson tide votes were from eastern and middlewestern coaches. In the Orange Bowl game, most of the coaches figured that Auburn's staunch defense would enable them to triumph. The most difficult game for the coaches to pick was the Sun Bowl game between Texas Tech and West Virginia. They knew scarcely anything about either team. The coaches polled were: Chet Wynne, Kentucky; Ossie Solem. Syracuse; Francis Schmidt. Ohio State: Bill Alexander. Georgia Tech; Mattie Bell. Southern Methodist; Bo McMillen. Indiana; Jimmie Crowley. Fordham; Sutherland. Pittsburgh; Tiny Thornhill, Stanford; Major Bob Neyland. Tennessee; Pop Warner. Temple:

(The present rule calls for the ball ot be put in play 10 yards from the sidelines.! 2. When a forward pass which inadvertently touches an ineligible man on or behind the line of scrimmage. it shall be ruled an incomplete forward pass.

Stanley of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research today announced he had isolated a chemical substance which links living and non-living matters and opens the way for new efforts to conquer cancer and virus diseases. Dr. Stanley discussed the import of his discovery before the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which awarded him its SI,OOO prie for this contribution to science. For the first thne. the study of cancer was linked closely with the diseases having origin in a virus —infantile paralysis, yellow fever and the common wart. Dr. Stanley said he and his assistants isolated the virus pro- , teins of tobacco, ring spot virus, latent mosaic of potato virus, severe etch virus and shope papulloma virus. They learned that the virus of the plant disease known as tobacco mosaic actually was a chemical substance, a large protein molecule having characteristics formerly associated only with living organisms. Dr. Stanley told the scientists, gathered for their annual convention. that the isolation of tobacco mosaic virus potein has "permitted extensive invesiigatons that have resulted in findings of interest to pathologists because of its ability to cause diseases; to blolo-i gists, bacteriologists and chemists; and to geneticists because of its ability to mutate and change into new strains. "The protein is of general interest," he said, "because of its ability to reproduce itself under certain conditions and the e’ idation of the mechanism may tl . w some light on the manner in which protoplasm grows. "And finally, the protein is of general interest because in size and properties it is intermediate between living organisms and noliving molecules and may represent a type of entity hitherto unrecognized." The importance of finding some method of combatting the virus diseases may be seen, he said, when it is realized that nearly 400.000 people died rn the flu epidemic of 1918 and that each year cancer takes an imposing number of lives. Mitchell Elected Indianapolis. Dec. 30. — (U.R> Wesley C.

S. 3. Panay will be presented Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Those pictures, photographed by the Universa 1 cameraman Norman Alley, were taken during the actual attack by Japanese planes and machine guns.

The pictures were rushed to America by the China Clipper and arrived yesterday on the West Coast and were immediately sent by plane to Washington. The IT. S, government's interest in these films was attested to by the fact that they were guarded every foot of the way by secret service men. These pictures which run more tlian half an hour are the only complete record of the attack. They show the actual attack and the sinking of the Panay; Panay returning fire with machine guns; the order to aibandon ship and the crew going overboard; the rescue boat reaching shore; wounded survivors on shore; Other survivors fleeing doT»n river and through the countryside.
