Northwestern Is Favorite For Rose Bowl BULLETIN Chicago, Nov. 22 — (UP) — Northwestern’s football team has been named as the big nine's representative in the Rose Bowl, Commissioner Kenneth L. "Tug” Wilson announced today. Wilson said that the Wildcat eleven, which won five out of six big nine games, was the unanimous choice for the bowl berth. Los Angeles, Nov. 22. —(UP) —The Pacific coast conference today picked the University of California to meet Northwestern in the 1949 Rose bowl football game at Pasadena. The vote was not announced. Chicago. Nov. 22—(UP)— Commissioner Kenneth L. "Tug” Wilson of the western conference will announce today the Big Nine's official choice of its Rose bowl representative, and the chances are nobody will be surprised with the selection. On the final standings there was only one choice for the nine faculty representatives of the league who presumably have voted by now. That team was Northwestern, second place club in the conference and losers during the season only to Michigan 28 to 0, and Notre Dame. 12 to 7. Although the faculty representatives were not obliged to vote for any one specific team, there was little doubt but what the Wildcats would come out with the votes necessary to get the bid. Northwestern finished with five victories in six league games, good I tor the undisputed runner-up spot to Michigan's undefeated magicians. Minnesota, the undisputed third place team, lost to two teams, Northwestern and Michigan. Thus there was little chance that: ‘he faculty representatives would! care to vote for the Gophers not | • nly over a team that ranked ahead of them in the league standings but also over a team which defeated them in regular season play. It was a pretty good bet that the final ranking of the Rose bowl clubs, so far as the Big Nine is concerned, would be Northwestern, Minnesota and Ohio State in that order. Michigan, the league champion, was barred from the bowl by the

Washington bumped Rochester, i 80 to 77 for its ninth victory with- ] out a loss this season and the defeat forced Rochester to settle for a tie for first place with Chicago .in the western division. Playing on the Royals’ court I made little difference tq the smooth-working Capitols, although j they had to stqge a second half drive to win. Rochester led at halftime. 40 to 38. Tom Feerick with 19 points and Kleggie Hermsen •with 16 paced the winners whilq Bob Davies and Arnie Risen topped Rochester with 17 apiece. It was a rough game with five players being ejected via the foul route. Chicago scored seven points in the last minute to beat the Fort . Wayne Zollner Pistons. 70 to 69. Ken Rollins was the hero when he sank a free throw with 10 seconds to go and followed up with a long push shot from the side.

Purdue Hangs 39-0 Loss On I. U. Saturday Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 22 — (UP) — The 39 to 0 shellacking which Purdue hung on Indiana in last Saturday’s intra state college football finale had gained a small measure of revenge today for old black and gold. The victory got the Boilermakers out of the big nine cellar with a record of two wins against four defeats — identical with that of Indiana in the conference’s final standIngs. But for the Hoosiers, the loss was their seventh in a row. They also had to leave the old oaken bucket at Purdue, the prize which they had guarded on the I. U. campus the past four years. Purdue's coach Stu Holcomb said his boys came through in great style after they had been handicapped by injuries most of the season. "They were keyed up for this one,” Holcomb said, “and, in the worst way, wanted to win.” He added that it was the fist game in the campaign in which Purdue got a few breaks and took advantage of them. “Especially that one early in the first period when Nick Sebek fumbled away to us." Holcomb remarked. That “break” led to Purdue’s 1 second touchdown when speed tner- •' chant Harry Szulborski raced 30 1 yards off tackle for the score. Two i minutes earlier Szulborski had chalked up the initial Purdue score, set up by Norb Adams' 37-yard run. The other four touchdowns were anti-climactic. Purdue’s superiority was such that Indiana never penej trated the Riveters’ 30-yard line. And line-play, was stopped cold. Taliaferro and several other Indiana key players were injured in the bruising fracas. COLLEGE FOOTBALL Big Nine J Purdue 39, Indiana 0. Northwestern 20. Illinois 7. Michigan 13. Ohio Sta'e 3.
