TOVICTORY Guepe and Buivid Give Mar- quette Edge Over Texas Christian at Dallas DUQUESNE TO TRIUMPH Huskies, Pitt Will Play to Sec- ond Biggest Gate in Tour- nament History By HARRY GRAYSON A bowiful of New Year's Day pre- dictions: Pittsburgh over Washington in the Rose Bowl. ‘ e Louisiana State to win from Santa Clara.with something to spare in the Sugar Bowl. Marquette to top Texas Christian in the Cotton Bowl. Duquesne to repulse Mississippi State in the Orange Bowl. Villanova a bit too cagey and cap- able for Auburn in Havana. A crowd of 80,000 all but booed the Notre Rame and Southern California varsities out of the Los Angeles Coliseum when, during the course of their drawn duel, it was announced that Pittsburgh had been picked as Washington's opponent in Pasadena. The boo birds then beat it for the ticket windows in such haste that the 83,000 seats in the Arroyo Seco were sold out in seven days. Pittsburgh and Washington will play to a $280,000 gate, the second richest in the history of the Tourna- ment of ‘Roses. Pittsburgh and Southern California set the record, Jan, 1, 1930, when 65,309 persons paid $306, Since then seating accom- modations have been increased and prices reduced. Football tickets are ‘one of the few things that are cheap- er these days. ‘The response to the Pittsburgh- ‘Washington party made it plain that Southern Californians didn’t want Louisiana State or Alabama to the extent that they would remain away from any other ‘offering. Young Men With a Mission ‘The selectors scarcely could have picked a greater nuisance for Wash- ington than Pittsburgh. The Panthers are men with a mis- sion this trip, and the Huskies weren't called upon to face three teams as powerful as Ohio State, Notre Dame, and-Nebraska, each of which was de- sively defeated by Dr. Jock Suther- land’s stalwarts. Suiherland never wanted to win a game quite as badly, and the slick Scotsman is a tough man to deal with in that state of mind. Sutherland has plenty of material with which to steam his boys up. ‘There are those three previous Rose Bowl whippings, two of them humil- iating routs at the hands of remark- able Southern Californit creations. ‘There are the jibes that accompanied the announcement of the invitation to the Gold and Blue. , Sutherland acclimated this Pitts- burgh edition in the warm sun of the San Bernardino valley, and has the reserve strength to match Washing- ton. There has been no joy riding, as was reported following the past- ings of 1930 and ’33. If Washington has an edge it is in passing, but the hard-charging Pitt forwards choked the vaunted Passing attacks of Ohio State and Notre Dame at their source. The Panther line is the equal of that of Fordham, which was reputed to be the stoutest in the land. Husky Backs All Seniors Washington has an all-senior back- field in Byron Haines, an ambidex- trous passer; Elmer Logg, rated with the top kickers of the country; Jimmy Cain, and Ed Nowogroski. ‘But Pittsburgh has phenomenal ball carriers in Biggie Goldberg and Bobby LaRue, who are ably assisted by Curley Stebbins, Bill Stapulis, Frank Patrick, huge Arnold Green, Johnny Micheloson, Johnny Chick- erneo, and Johnny Wood. ‘With all of the Purple and Gold's experience, I suspect that Pittsburgh has the superior running game. Next to Stanford’s vowing sopho- mores of 1933, Pittsburgh perhaps is the youngest team to appear in the Rose Bowl. Sutherland can start six sophomores, as he plans, without having to ask any favors, which gives you a rough idea of the immediate future of football at Pittsburgh. Louisiana State appears too formidable for Santa Clara in New Orleans. Gaynell Tinsley and Rock Reed are a tough pair to bottle up. Buivid Match for Baugh Sam Baugh may meet his match as a pigskim pitcher in Buzz Buivid when Texas Christian has it out with Marquette in Dallas. The line of neither club is.too strong, but Art Guepe running with Buivid gives the Golden Avalanche a margin in the backfield. *It is unlikely that a Mississippi State attack that foundered before Alabama and Louisiana State and 8 team that was tied by Texas Christ- fan will gain much ground against a Duquesne line that stopped Pitts- burgh and Marquette cold. I can't see anything but old Holy Ghost Col- excuse for picking Auburn to beat the efficient young men of Big Clip- per Sntith. Anyway, they'll bow! along, and let the pins fall where they may.

With the topic, “are our intercol- legiate athletics to remain amateur?” as the center of discussion, several good vocal blasts were expected on both sides of the question at the con- vention of the National Collegiate Athletic association. Meanwhile the football coaches, many of whom have been talking in- formally since Sunday night, were slated to direct their big guns at the principal subject of discussion during the past season—the forward pass in- terference ruling. °37 Grid Prospects Must Be ‘Terrible’ New York, Dec. 29.—()—What do coaches talk about when they get together? You guessed it— football. One session in advance of the coaches convention Tuesday went like this: ._ Bo McMillin, Indiana: “Well, Lou, what material have you got coming up next year?” . Lou Little, Columbia: “Nothing. Not a thing. Very poor freshman bunch. How about you?” McMillin: “Only fair.” Ray Morrison, Vanderbilt: you fellows always say that. ways singing the blues.” MeMillin: ‘Well, what have you got, Ray?” Morrison: “Nothing much.” (General laughter). “Oh, Al- Two Solid Wallops Taken The winter gatherings already have produced frank statements of the sort seldom heard except in informal talks. At least two solid wallops were) taken during Monday's round-table discussions at the present conduct of intercollegiate athletics in respect to Tecruiting and subsidizing. Dr. William L; Hughes, associate professor of physical education at Teachers College, Columbia university, and Dr. J, H. Nichols, director of athletics at Oberlin College, assailed “hypocrisy and dishonesty” of present athletic trends. Dr. Hughes suggested that distinc- tions between amateur and’ profes- sional athletes be dropped, asking: “what is the difference between pay- ment and non-payment of a college) athlete so long as he conducts him- self as a gentleman and keeps his scholastic work up to the proper standard?” Would Abolish ‘Gates’ Dr. Nichols, di athletics from the viewpoint of the small lib- eral arts college, proposed a nine- point program which featured the abolition of gate receipts and financ- ing of athletic activities through, the regular college budget as well as the elimination of athletic leagues or clear weather Tuesday after watching their western football players practice on the first dry field in a week. Passes flew fast at Palo Alto in the West's snappy workout for the Shrine East-West charity game here New Year's Day. Hollingberry praised his passers and kickers whom he expects to oute shine Steve Toth of Northwester Fran Murray of Penn, and Ace Pai ker of Duke, East backfield men. Lyle Sturgeon, 262-pound North Dakota State tackle, appeared the West's likely kicking threat. “I grabbed Sturgeon on what he showed in the game against Idaho,” Hollingbery said “and it certainly turned out to be a wise move. He's Playing tackle on offense and guard on defense and he has shown ability place kicking and kicking off.” Another western bright light is Martin Gainor of North Dakota uni- versity, who plays running guard on offense and right tackle on defense. He was recommended by Dana X. Bible of Nebraski “Both Sturgeon and Gainor are good defense players,” Hollingbery said. They’re coming along fine.” The Eastern quad of college stars ran through short morning and af- ternoon signal and touch-tackle drills at Berkeley. Rainy Weather Is OK by Sutherland Pasadena, Calif., Dec. 20.—(#)—Jock | Sutherland didn’t come to California just to see some winter sunshine—s0| the rain isrf't bothering him. In fact, the coach of Pitt’s Rose Bow! aspirants, old a surprised Chamber of Commerce at San Bern- ardino he was even glad it rained. because it gave his boys a chance to renew acquaintanceship with a slip- ery football. Also undisturbed by the weather, Coach Jimmy Phelan took his Wash- ington Huskies out for a spirited dummy scrimmage in crisp, autumn- like air. Sloppy going or dry, one thing is certain, the more than 80,000 fans will see two of the most determined bands of grid warriors in the color- ful history of the Tournament of Roses, Trying to figure out the mental attitude of a college football team is a job for a master psychologist, but several theories stand out. The Pitt squad, numbering such young sophomores as Marshal] Gold- berg, Johnny Chickerneo and Bill Daddio, feels the sting of criticism aimed at the Panthers for three pre- vious Rose Bow! defeats. Wi for some reason instal- led a slim favorite, will not be over- confident. The Huskies seem @ little cocky, but Jimmy Phelan will not let that attitude expand, he says. can Olympic committees than they had this year. “The colleges whole-heartedly sup- ported the Olmypic committee by sup- plying the men who helped as mem- bers of the different TWO NEW COLORED STARS APPEARING WITH SAPERSTEIN Meinhover, Sorsdahi, McGuire, Eddie and Johnny Spriggs in Lineup Two new colored stars appear in the 1936 edition of A. M. Saperstein’s Harlem Globe Trotters, who meet the recently-reorganized Bismarck Phan- toms in a basketball game at the World War Memorial building to- night. Saperstein’s new recruits—Johnny Watts, forward, and Ted Strong, guard, are expected to start at their respective posts when the Negro cage artists take the floor at 8:15 p. m. Watts for the past two seasons has been a star with the LaCrosse State Teachers college quint and previous to that led his team at Beloit (Wis.) high school to three state champion- ships. Strong broke into professional baseball during the past season with the Chicago American Giants of the Negro National League and is con- sidered equally as fine a performer on the hard court. Four Veterans Back Back for another season with the touring quint ere Robert Frazier and Bill Ford, guards; Harry Rusan, for- ward and Inman Jackson, center and captain. This is the 10th anniversary year for the Trotters, who in the nine past seasons have played 1,274 games, won 1,168 and lost only 108 for a per- centage of 915. Last year the team traveled 24,162 miles visiting 18 states and three provinces.of Canada. Assembled by Ted Meinhover, the Capital City quint is composed of Johnny Spriggs and Mickey McGuire, forwards; Meinhover, pivot, and Eddie Spriggs and Ollie Sorsdahl, guards. Although this is their first home appearance the Phantoms haye been working out regularly for the past month and loom as one of the best passing teams ever brought together here, Never Defeated Ni Whether or not they will be able to cope with the basketball antics of the Negro quint remains to be seen. In the past two years, the Phantoms have been unable to emerge winners over the fast-traveling visitors but they have always given them a close tub. Each year they went on to win the North Dakota independent cham- pionship. Between the halves of the game, Harry “Bunny” Leavitt, free throw specialist who joined the team last season, will give an exhibition of his/ proficiency. His official world’s rec- ord is 499 consecutive throws without a miss. He hopes to hit 600 some- ' time before the current season is over. Bronko Nagurski Weds Schoolday Sweetheart International Falls, Minn., Dec. 29. —(?)—Bronko Nagurski, member of} the Chicago Bears professional foot- ball team, and Eileen Kane were married in St. Thomas Catholic church Monday.
