SELECTIONS TO BOWL CONTESTS ARE UNCERTAIN Few Perfect Record Teams Make Selections A Muddle New York. Nov. 15 — (U.PJ* — Diminution of the nation's major perfect record football teams to five, one of which says “No thanks. I've had some." has the "howl-game" promoters tearing their hair today trying to land suitable attractions for their postseason shows. With four established bowl games, headed by the tournament of roses festival at Pasadena, and with New York impresarios planning fifth, there aren't enough perfect records to go around now. and there may be fewer after Nov. 26. The clean-slate list is headed by Notre Dame, which is not interested in a bowl bid because it goes to the coast to play Southern California Dec. 3. This leaves Duke. Tennessee. Texas Christian and Oklahoma In the major classification, and there is a good chance that Oklahoma will meet its nemesis against tied but undefeated lowa State this Saturday, and that Duke will find Pitt's Panthers too tough on the 26th. Tennessee still has a tough nut to crack in Mississippi, and Rice might break T. C. U.’s winning streak this week-end. Since New Year's day falls on Sunday, some of the bowl “classics" will be held over until Monday. This will be the case in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans, said Herbert Benson, president of the Mid-Winter Sports association. The Rose Bowl situation seems in the worst shape because there is no perfect record team on the west coast. The western bid will as usual go to the Pacific coast conference winner—if there is one —but it is probalJle that the race will end up in a tie between California and Southern California They each have tive victories and one defeet, and each has one mors conference game which it should win It was announced last night that .balloting by the conference members for the western repi“sentative will be held Monday, Nov. 28. If the bid should go to the defending champion California Bears, they will cancel their late December date with Georgia Tech. From information now available, here is the possible bowl lineups: Rose Bowl, Pasadena — California or Southern California vs T.C.U, Tennessee or Duke. Sugar Bowl, New Orleans — T.C.U., Tennessee or Duke vs Carnegie Tech or Holy Cross. Cotton Bowl. Dallas — Texas Christian or Texas Tech vs Ok iahotua or lowa State. Orange Bowl. Miami —The best southern club left after the other bowls are filled vs Georgetown. Vilianova or Holy Cross. Eastern Bowl. New York — (Tentative) — T.C.U.. Tennessee, Duke, Texas Tech vs Carnegie Tech, Boston College. Holy Cross or Villanova. Texas Christian’s Horned Frogs appear to be the key team that will decide who goes where and who plays who. With Notre Dame out of the way, T. C. U. probably can take its choice of any of the saucers. It is reported that Cotton Bowl officials are pressuring to keep the Frogs in Dallas, but if the players are allowed to decide the question themselves. they'll probably choose either Pasadena or New York. Duke is the dark horse team, but a victory over Pitt undoubtedly would make it the leading candidate for the Rose Bowl bld. and you can bet that Wallace Wade would like nothing better than that 3,000-mile junket. o —* I Today’s Sport Parade | By’Henry McLemore ‘ Mobile, Ala., Nov. 15. — (U.K) ■ — Putting the sports shot here and there: If the Rose Bowl wants to maintain its reputation for producing the national football champion each New Year’s day, then it might not be a bad idea for the far western choice to decline this yqar and yield its place to an unbeaten team from another section of the country .. . In tact, it might be a very good idea, because the teams out there have been banged around like a firehouse gong and the presence of one of them in the bowl Isn’t going to add to the prestige of the game . . . What about a Rose Bowl game with T. C. U. playing Notre Dame, or Tennessee taking on Duke, or some other alignment of two of this group? . . . After all. the game is played for the game’s sake, and I am sure none

of the far western teams would ' hesitate to decline a bid because of : the JIOO.OOO that it means. Clark Griffith’s suggestion that I the major league season be short- i ened makes too much sense, and | so it never will be adopted ... It ! should be, however, because the ‘ teams start playin cold, rainy, unsuitable weather, and finish in the same sort . . . The American league could shorten its season by passing a rule that the season was over when the Yankees clinched the pennant . . . This would usual-! ly finish the baseball year sometime in August . . . The National league could close its season on the day Brooklyn announced that it was looking for a new manager. Football filbert of the year: Morris King, 30-year-old Tullahoma (Tenn.) grocer, has announced he will ride a bicycle to Pasadena if : Tennessee is asked to the Rose : Bowl . . . Morris will wear a special cycling habit which consists of orange romMrs. an orange derby, and two Tennessee pennants, which are worn as mufflers ... He also will carry a loaded cane, presumably to use in warding off , marauding squirrels . . . Eddie | Brannick.

Grid Coach Killed in Crash

Gustavus Adolphus college at St. Peter, Minn., is in mourning for its football coach, George B. Myrum, and one of his star players Donald Anderson, who were killed in this bus crash near Minneapolis as the team was returning from a game. The driver of the bus Carl Olsen, also was killed. Witnesses said the bus crashed into the rea»yof a truck loaded with fence posts.

and half a dozen coaches have told me that if he dosn't make the allAmericans the supreme court should step in and rule such teams invalid. Best true football story of the year belongs to Bill Alexander, Georgia Tech coach ... A few years back Tech was beating Oglethorpe badly and Alex sent in four successive quarterbacks with instructions to quit trying to score and kick the ball . . . All four failed to follow orders . . . Finally Alexander sent in a fifth stringer who swore he could obey orders ... A few plays later Tech blocked and recovered a kick on Oglethrope's one-yard line ... On first down the quaterback called for a punt and kicked the ball completely out of the stadium. Anybody want to bet that Ellsworth Vines doesn’t win six of his first ten matches with Don Budget? My guess is that Donald won't be able to adjust himself to Vines' speed indoors for at least a dozen or so matches . . . After that Donald's supreme steadiness and lack of any definite weakness should give him a slight edge over Elly . . . Whenever the St. Louis Browns feel badly about never having won an American league championship, they can cheer themselves by thinking of the football Badgers of Springhill college in this city . . .

TONY GALENTO WHIPS THOMAS Fighting Bartender Scores Technical K. O. In Third Round Philadelphia. Nov. 15. — (U.R) — Tony Galento, the fighting bartender. retained his ranking today as the No. 1 challenger to Joe Louis' heavyweight championship. He lunched, shoved and wrestled his way to a third round technical knockout victory over Harry Thomas, the Minnesota blacksmithfarmer last night, to convince a crowd of 10.000 that his siege of pneumonia four months ago was only a stop-gap in his march for a shot at boxing's most coveted crown. A throwback to the old days of barge fighters. Galento heeled Thomas to the canvas five times before referee Tommy O'Keefe finally stepped in to end what was scheduled as a 12-round bout. There was only one real blow landed in the fight and it was in the second round. But -Galento's wrestling, pushing and cuffing tactics took their toll. Galento made no pretense of defending himself.
