(lassic Event on Pacific Coast To sporis 1ans some cities are known chiefly for sports spec- tacles: Louisville for the Derby, Baitimore for the Preakness, Pasadena for the Rose Bowl, Goshen for the Hambletonian trotting classic, Indianapolis for the 500-mile auto race, Pough- keepsie for the Intercollegiate regatta. Each city has its day in the sportorial sun. Here's how cne city—Pasadena— be- haves on its day — New Year's Day. By SAM JACKSON AP Feature Service Writer PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 30.—Im- agine a million people swarming into |a city that normally holds only 85,~ 1000 and you have the hilarious state of affairs which is Pasadena’s every New Year's Day. To the sports-minded country as a whole, this mob scene is associat- ed with the annual Rose Bowl foot- ball game, in which—with certain qualifications—the best team in the East meets the best team in the West Actually the game accounts for only a small fraction of the people. The numker of foothall seats ob- tainable is exactly 86311, The thing that gets the crowd is the Tourna- ment of Roeses, a gorgeous parade nearly five miles long consisting of floats decorated entirely with fresh, living blossoms. aper observers said the pa- rade last New Year'’s Day was wit- nessed by 1,250,000 persons. The | Post Parade, where you can wander | about on foot and inspect the floats at leisure, is enjoyed by about 300,- Game Pays the Way But the game pays for the p a- | rade. The gross is some $325,000 and af- 3. ber $20,000 expense is taken out the Bing (rosby, | loanBlondel! | Starred Here "East Side;f_Heaven” Is Opening Sunday af Capitol Theatre Bing Crosby and one of the most| r found in a sin- assembled for Uni- Side Heaven, Sunday at the Capi- Headed by n Blonde! e W at tol Theater Bing and Joan are co-starred in| is film which features hit songs, and comedy against a human background And urrounded by a galaxy {of play who already are knock- ing at Hollywood’s carefully guard- ed portals leading to stardom.

Promptly after the last conference game the faculty repre- sentatives of each member school cast telegraphic votes. This team then is allowed to choose any (’asb‘ ern team it prefers as its rival. Some colleges, such as certain eastern schools and western confer- ence members, may scoff at a $100,- 000 windfall but most of them value a bid to the Rose Bowl for more than the thrill and glory. No Pacific conference manager has been known to swoon during) crucial late games, but each one rea- lizes there is often big money at |stake. If Kenny Washington had completed his pass to Jackie Robin- son over Southern California’s goal a few days ago it doubtless would have meant U.CL.A. in the Rose ‘Bowl and $100,000 in the U.CL.A. |treasury. More than one fumble or | erratic place kick in conference play |has meant: “There goes $100,000.” Southern California, unbeaten in five previous Rose Bowl engage- ments, tackles Tennessee, an un-i beaten Southeastern team, next Monday. William Dunkerley, manager of the Association, says it is impossible to estimate how much money the big event brings into town. Things Move Smoothly “All business houses close up,” he explains. “The only things open are hotels, cates and other business- es necessary to handle the crowds. “The hotels of course are filled to capacity. We send hundreds of persons to private homes. “Trouble? No, we’ve had mighty little of it. It's hardly the type of event to attract criminals. And po- lice handle the fraffic well “Regarding weather, the records of 49 years of rose tournaments show we've averaged mighty well.” “You understand,” he continued, reaching for a Chamber of Com- merce folder entitled, “Pasadena— California at its Best,” “that the winter season is warm and balmy here. with flowers in full bloom—" “What was the worst weather you ever had?” “Well, in 1933 we were practically rained out. But it was an unusually beautiful parade. The moisture made the flowers look magnificent.” The big social event of the occas- ion is the Tournament of Roses Ball on some week-day before New Years, There the queen of the tour- nament, selected from Pasadena jun- ior college coeds, is crowned. The event is formal, strictly invitational, and the bids are much sought after. Most of them go to leaders in the cities and corporations that enter floats in the parade. The par: 3¢ moves on New Year's morning and the Rose Bowl game is played New Year's afternoon. The hilarity before and after, however, has little to do with either. Pasadena is part of the sprawling city of 2,000,000 known as the “Los Angeles Metropolitan Area,” and the partying is done at each indi- vidual's favorite spot, be it in Hol- lywood, at the beaches, or else- where. The Tournament of Roses, first staged in 1890 by the Valley Hunt Club, is now put on by the Tour- (First Appeal Brings Dona- Daily Crossword Puzzle ACROSS L.
