I think next year should be the best ever." Mr. Goldberg, whose views on the matter are authoritative because he is president of the group which sponsors the pout-season classic, made a short forward pass at his scrambled >ggs and remarked that it was not a bit unuaual for the Sugar Bowl committee to atart working on Ho 1943 game In February of 1942.
