Seven Bowls On New Years z «r Football Menu By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer An estimated 350,000 fans will flock to seven bowls Tqasday in college football's .annual s&lute to the New Year. The top crowd of about 100,000 is expected in the Rose Bowl where lowa is an eight-point favorite to whip Oregon State? Tennessee, the nation's second-ranked team, is a 6Vi-point choice over Baylor in the Sugar Bowl, Colorado is a three-point pick over Clemson in the Orange Bowl and TCU a two-to-three point favorite over Syracuse in the Cotton Bowl, The four' major bowl games will be carried on national radio and television networks which should give every American with enough strength to get out of bed a ehance to share in the fun. The experts are predicting low scoring games with the exception of the Cotton Bowl 4 where TCU and Syracuse feature high-octane offenses. Battle of Tackles lowa, which compiled an 8-1 record during the regular season, is a solid choice to beat Oregon State (7-2-D despite the fact it won by only 14-13 last October. The Hawkeyes yielded an average of,only one touchdown a game and shut out four opponents. A feature of the game is expected to be die play of rival tackles John Witte of Oregon State and Al Karras of lowa. A crowd of about 81,000 at New Orleans will see Tennessee <lO-0-0) and Baylor (8-2) in a rugged defensive test. The Volunteers also feature brilliant tailback Johnny Major? but Baylor’s powerful line has held opponents to a mere 6.6 points a game. Bobby Jones and Doyle Traylor run the Bears’ offense .— with Traylor of doubtful physical condition. Orange Fans Protest At Miami, the crowd is expected

Colorado (7-2-1) attracted national respect this year mostly as a result of a loss—27-19 to Oklahoma — while Clemson’s record was 7-1-2 and the Tigers were soundly walloped by Miami, Fla. It could turn Out to be a whale of a game if only because both teams are so eager to prove they really belong in a bowl in the first place. Eastern prestige will bc at stake at Dallas, Tex., where Syracuse (7-1) turns the brilliant Jimmy Brown loose against TCU, (7-3), a team which was strong enough to employ hard-running Jim Swink as a decoy this year. Syracuse is still smarting over that 61-6 Orange Bowl loss to Alabama in 1953 and wants to take it out on the Horned Frogs. In three lesser bowls. George Washington (7-1-1) opposes Texas Western (9-1) in the Sun Bowl at El Paso, Tex., West Texas (7-2) meets Mississippi Southern (7-1-1) in the Tangerine Bowl at Orlando.

'* Bowl Weekend Started The “long weekend” got underway Saturday when Georgia Tech defeated Pittsburgh, 21-14, in the Gator Bowl, the North topped the South, 14-0, in the Blue-Gray game and the West upset the East, 7-6. Georgia Tech took advantage of every break to present Coach Bobby Dodd with a sixth straight bowl victory and his second consecutive one-touchdown win over Pittsburgh. The Panthers outrushed Georgia Tech, 246-162 and outpassed it, 67-45 yards, but the Engineers intercepted two passes and recovered two fumbles.

Giants Wallop Chicago Bears For Pro Title 5 f UPI 3 Dec. 31 V429aES NEW YORK (UP)— The New , York Giants, boasting their first National Football League championship since 1938, today notified their 1957 rivals that they won’t stand pat with the squad that handl'd the proud Chicago Bears their worst playoff defeat. The Giants humiliated the favored Bears, 47-7, Sunday before 56,836 chilled Yankee Stadium fans and millions of warm television viewers. The Giants wore sneakers on the frozen turf in throttling the team that led the league in scoring this season. Defense won the first champion--1 ship for Coach Jim Lee Howell. Key players on New York’s defensive unit Sunday included end Andy Robustelli, halfback Ed Hughes, linebackers Bill Svoboda and Harland Svare and tackle Dick Modzelewskl. After fullback Mel Triplett carried Umpire Sam Wilson and two Bears into the end zone for New York’s first touchdown, Robustelli's jarring tackle made Bear fullback Rick Casares fumble and Andy also recovered the ball on the Chicago 15. Ben Agajanian followed with his first field goal and the Bears never recovered. They had to gamble after that, losing a bid for a first down on their 45 when Emlen Tunnell dropped J. C. Caroline on the Bear 43. The Giants, with Charley Conerly replacing Don Heinrich at’ quarterback, scored in seven plays with Alex Webster plunging the last two yards. Casares, the league’s leading rusher, got the only Chicago touchdown on a nine-yard run after tackle John Mellekas recovered Tunnell’s fumble of a punt on the New York 25. But Webster’s one-yard plunge climaxed a 72-yard drive and, when Ray Beck blocked Ed Brown’s end zone punt. Henry Moore pounced on the ball for a touchdown and a 34-7 halftime lead. Conerly’s short scoring passes to Kyle Rote and Frank Gifford in the second half completed one of Chicago’s worst defeats. Rumor Brennan To Quit Notre Dame SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UP) - Rumors were flying fast and thick today that coach Terry Brennan of Notre Dame, whose 2-8 record this year was the worst in the school’s football history, will resign and Washington Redskin coach Joe Kuharich will take his place. Brennan, in- San Francisco where he coached the East team in a 7-6 Shrine Game loss Saturday, said he knew nothing of the rumors. “I advise you to check at the. other end," Brennan said. “I’ve' been away for a couple of weeks.” He added that the “whole thing is news to me.' It’s the first time I ever heard about it.” A spokesman for the Irish denied the report flatly and said ’’Terry will be back next year.” No comment came from the Redskin ownefs. who have announced Kuharich will return next year. — ■ - - Just recently, Brennan was involved in a verbal dispute with former Notre Dame head coach Frank Leahy who called Brennan’s charges the “unfighting Irish” because of what V eJ )hy tarmed their lack of desire in some of their losses this H.
