wsooee¢o 8 k 1 t t THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1935_ Stanford Ready for S. M. U. Passes After Alabama Lesson ROSE BOWL RIVALS FOR NEW YEAR’S CLASSIC INDIANS HAVE PASS ATTACK 10 OFFSET MUSTANGS’ OFFENSE Bowl Classic to Be Last Game| for Grid Greats—Wilson and Grayson THORNHILL PLANS DEFENSE Huge Stadium Will Be Jammed for Classic New Year’s Day Contest By HARRY GRAYSON Pasadena, Dec, 26.—(NEA)—Rose Bowl games have -been replete with brilliant performances and studded with drama, and the 22d edition on ‘New Year’s Day promises to write one of the more glorious chapters of this annual intersectional football show. Southwestern football is to make its bow in the picturesque stadium in the Arroyo Seco, with the devil-may- care Southern Methodist varsity car- rying the cattle country’s colors against Stanford. Southern Methodist is the favorite at 8-5, which is justified by the teams’ records, but Stanford, with eight sen- iors in the starting lineup, is certain to give the Mustangs the stiffest kind of opposition. Southern Methodist made such a hit in beating U. C. L. A., 21-0, in Los Angeles, that the 90,000 seats were subscribed for before the tickets were printed. It is estimated that the con- test easily could play to 150,000 if there were ‘that many seats in the bowl. While pre-game stories call it the Battle of the Bobs—Bobby happening to be the name of the star of each outfit, Grayson of Stanford and Wil- son of Southern Methodist—it really is a meeting of two well-balanced arrays. Bobs Have What It Takes Grayson, the All-America fullback, weight 190 pounds, is one of the fast- est men alive, and does everything well, Up until this season, the 147-pound Wilson was considered too frail to perform for more than one half, but proved himself as tough as whalebone this year. Wilson has missed very little time since September. This Bobby mixes passing with his phe- nomenal running, and is perhaps the most dangerous long runner in the game. W No southwestern team kicked to Wilson after his sophomore year. Their efforts to keep the ball away ‘from him have resulted in develop- ment of some splendid kickers in ‘Texas, among them Sammy Baugh of Texas Christian. Both teams use variation of the so- called Warner system. Uncle Charley Moran used Warner methods at Cen- tre College, when Matty Bell, the Southern Methodist mentor, was one of the celebrated Praying Colonels and had as teammates Bo McMillan and Red Roberts. Bell was an end. Claude E. (Tiny) Thornhill, Stan ford coach, instructed the Centre Col. lege line that included Bell, Thorn- hill played tackle under Glenn 8. Warner at Pittsburgh. Stanford's vowing sophomores of 1933 are out to avenge two consecu- tive and humiliating defeats in the bowl. They were victims of Columbia in an astounding upset in 1934, and Dixie Howell passed altogether too accurately for them a year ago. Bell inherited the current Southern Methodist squad, famed as an aerial circus, from Ray Morrison, who pop- ularized the forward pass in the southwest, and left the Dallas institu- tion this fall to assume command at Vanderbilt, his alma mater. Passes May Set Stage Stanford has more than a pass de- fense to think about, however. In- ceed, it will not be surprising if Southern Methodist keeps trying to set the Palo Alto defense up for a pass, and running with the ball. The Ponies can run with it, too, with Harry Shuford blocking for Wil- son as Britton blocked for Red Grange. Without Shuford, who was out with an injury, Wilson averaged 12% yards an attempt against Texas Christian. Southern Methodist has a corking Kicker in Pullback Finley, and other exceptional backs in Sprague, Burt, and Turner. The Mustangs have re- markable ends in Tipton and Stewart. Spain and Orr, who divided place Kicking duties with Weant, are staunch tackles. Iron Man Wetzel, Billy Stamps, and Chuck Baker will do as guards, and Johnson is a steady center.

Gill finished 23 ahead | Rangers Beat Bruins, Overhaul Red Wings New York, Dec. 26.—(#)—Bill Cook is back on the goal-getting job, and the New York Rangers, who have been making quite a splash in the National Hockey League despite his absence, figure to do even better henceforth. This current season Cook collected ‘only two assists for the first 16 games, {missing several contests because of first | injuries. Wednesday night he broke the spell and scored twice to give the ;Blue Shirts a 3-2 victory over the | Boston Bruins. The triumph plus some timely aid from the Chicago Blackhawks put the Rangers into a tie with Detroit for the American division lead. The Hawks, after four games with- out a victory, came through with a 0 decision over Detroit’s Red Wings. ‘There are 6,373,600 radio receiving 5,440,031 in Ger- Committees Meet Delegates to Consider Grid Reg- ulations and Spectator Beliavior New York, Dec. 26.—(#)—Six or- ganizations directly or indirectly con- nected with college athietics meet here this week to discuss football rules, spectator behavior, subsidizing and recruiting. Meetings, getting under way Thurs- day and Friday, include those of the National Collegiate Athletic associ- ation, the Football Coaches associa- tion, the Physical Education associ- ation, the Student Health association and the Track Coaches association. While the coaches are expected to devote most of their time to discuss- ing the technical side of their trade, there will be the usual agitation for changes in the rules. Many of them still favor returning the goal posts to the goal lines, although the rules committee has not been able to agree. “The spectator problem” — which caused gray hairs to sport on the head of more than one gridiron of- ficial during the last season, not to; mention the dented skulls of some who took part in goal-post battles—is one topic. ‘The number of San Quentin pris- oners voluntarily taking educational courses has increased from a score to 2930 in the last 20 years.

Vaughan Annexes Leop Bat Titles| Pirate Shortstop Makes 192 Hits Go for Bases in 499 Times at Bat New York, Dec, 26. — (2) — Floyd (Arky) Vaughan, swatting shortstop of the Pittsburgh Pirates, was the leading slugger and the leading hitter of the National League in the 1935 season, Vaughan, whose batting average was .385, banged out a slugging per- centage of .607 by making his 192 hits go for a total of 303 bases in 499 times at bat. . The “miscellaneous” records for the season, made public Thursday, also disclose that Vaughan drew more bases on balls than any other Na- tional League player, 97, and that he hit into only five double plays. It was his second straight year as leader in walks, Joe Medwick of St. Louis, second in the batting race, also was the second best sugger with a .576 average, al- though his total base figure, 365, was the highest in the league. Mel Ott of the Giants was third with .555 and Wally Berger, much sought Boston belter, fourth at .548, | Touring Pros Start Quest at Pasadena Pasadena, Calif. Dec, 26—(P)— The nation’s golfing nomads put a brief Christmas rest period behind Thursday to resume their quest of cash and glory in the annual Pasa- dena $4,000 open championship, Only a third of the field answers the starter’s call Thursday, with the second section going to the initial tee Friday and the third Saturday.

Dec, 26—(#)—in the pool room vernacular, four dol- jlars forty cents may get you a hun dred, if you are dealing in Rose Bowl tickets of the right location. With approximately 84,600 seats available and more than 300,000 per- sons clamoring to see the footbell game here New Year's day, betweea Stanford and Southern Methodist, the scalpers are riding high. One hundred dollars is top price, of course, but a prominent Holly- wood motion picture producer paid it with a smile, He bought only two tickets.
