THE BOWL grid warriors are at their stations and poised for kickoff time Monday afternoon. . . . Missouri and Georgia Tech will be first in action New Year's Day, playing at Miami in the Eastern time territory. . . . This corner is picking Old Mizzou to edge Bill Alexander's great team in this one. . .. Bookies' odds favor Tech. Two mighty machines clash in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans and Tulane is our choice over the Texas
Aggies in a spectacular battle although the Farmers are slight favorites and have it in them to beat the Greenies through the air. Southern California vs. Tennessee in the Rose Bowl sets up a guessing contest for all and sundry. , George Cafego’s knee remains the big mystery in this one and there's no telling what Coach Bob Neyland is hiding up his sleeve. . And the Trojans are in the dark, too, the same as the fans throughout the country. . . . The game rates a tossup. . But if you got to pick ‘em you got to name a choice, hit or miss, so it's Southern California.
Cotton, Sun and Pineapple <
CLEMSON and Boston College are sure to stage a stirring struggle in the Cotton Bowl at Dallas and this department's selection is Clemson. . And Catholic U. over Arizona State in the Sun Bowl at El Paso. ’ We received a press box ticket for the Pineapple Bowl game at Honolulu between Oregon State and Hawali, but like the game, the ducat got lost in the shuffie. . . . It’s a known fact that they kick higher in ‘‘Hawier” but Oregon is the choice, if the boys keep their minds on football. . It’s more of » lark than a game tor the Beavers and whether the big lads trained for a frolic or a foothall game has not been determined.

ICE HOCKEY managers don't tarry long in Chicago unless the Blackhawks win consistently The impatient owners in the Windy City are the world’s leading second guessers and even sit on the rink sidelines and bait the game officials Here is the Blackhawk managerial cavalcade, together with service dates: (1) Pete Muldoon. 1926-27; (2) Barney Stanley, 1927-28: (3) Hugh Lehman. 1927-28: (4) Tom Shaughnessy, 1928-28; (5) Herb Gardiner, 1928-29: (6) Godfrev Matheson, 1920-30: (7) Emil Iverson, 1929-30; (8) Rill Tobin, 1920-30: (9 Dick Irvin, 1930-32: (10) Emil Iverson, 1932-33: (11) Tom Gorman, 1933-34; (12) Clem Laughlin, 1934-37, (13) Bill Stewart, 1937-39: (14) Paul Thompson. 1939 The Hawks changed pilots in midseason more than once, according to the record, and it's a brave man, indeed, who dares tackle the job.
Local Pilot Is Big League Timber
HERB LEWIS, Indianapolis’ hockey chieftain, is heading for the Manager of the Year honors in the International-American League. . . . It’s his first experience as a pilot and hockey writers in the East tab him as a big league prospect. He's getting the full co-operation of his players, they're hustling at all times and the baby member of the league is proving a good gate attraction in enemy territory. . , . New Haven drew its largest week-day crowd of the season on the Capitals’ last visit there. Lewis’ league-leading Hoosiers are topping the circuit in goals scored against opponents and are fourth on defense. . . . Team play is keeping the local icers out in front, which reflects to the credit of the manager, » » »

Springfield has 21 points to its credit as compared to Indianapolis’ 30 . Syracuse has 20 and Pittsburgh 13. , . . A team that has improved recently is Hershey and the Candy Kids are threatening to move out of the Western Division cellar.

AS WAS the case ‘last year, horse players at Tropical Park will be permitted to lose their bets several hours in advance of the usual time on New Year's Day The day's program will be run off in the morning and the track will close in the afternoon . The track officials are co-operating with the Orange Bowl foothall promoters and are urging the horse players to do likewise. Of course, the horses won't know what it’s all about doing their galloping in the 2. m., but they have no way of forming a grievance committee to protest the shift in working hours. However, on New Year's morning the horses probably will be in better shape both physically and mentally than officials, players and jockeys combined . .. and will be able to say to their handlers and followers that “if you used any horse sense last night this soft southern sunshine would not look like fog.”

2 More Western Tech Five Meets Quints in Garden Richmond Tonight
YORK, Dec. 30 (U. P).—
Collegiate basketball's “week of champions” ends tonight at Madison Square Garden when Santa Clara plays City Oollege of New York and Colorado meets St. John's. Invading Western teams have smashed Eastern prestige in three out of four starts in the all-star program and both Western teams are favored to win. Champions of the Northern California Conference, Santa Clara's Broncos. have a winning streak of nine games. six of which were won this vear. Colorado has won the rocky Mountain Conference title for the past three years, St. John's, last season's city champions, has won its last five games. Their team has three holdovers from last year—Capt. Frank Haggerty, Dutch Garfinkel and Bill | McKeever. Sophomore Jim White and John Ahearn, out of school last | vear, complete the starting lineup. |
