Aggie will tangle with the once-beaten galloping Gaels of St. Mary's before about 2,000 customers in the Sugar Bowl. Alabama’s Crimson Tide has kteen made a 13 1-2 point favorite to stop the west coast representatives. This game should 'provide a spectacular duel between Harry Gilmer, the southerners’ gifted aerial artist, and Ten Tannehill, the vaunted Trojan touchdown ace. The Aggie, paced by All-American Bob Fenimore, are rated 13 points better than the youthful Gaels who are sparked by All-America Herman Wedemeyer. The annual Shrine contest in San Francisco between the Eastern and ‘Western All-Stars finds the latter team a 1 1-2 point choice. About 60,000 fans will see the “dream” squads in action Despite that Holy Cross’ triple threat, ailing Stan Koslowski, almost certain to start, the on beaten Crusaders are 12-point under- dogs to Miami's Hur Orange Bowl, where a 36,000 crowd is expected The Dallas Cotton Bowl matches ths cnce-beaten Texas Longhorns, champions of the Southwest Confer. ence, against thricz-beaten Missouri, the Big Six king, with Texas a 13- point favorite. The game is expect- ed to draw 45,500. Charley Trippi and his Georgia mates have been given a 5 1-2 point edge over Tulsa in the Oil Bowl at Hauston. is i P | BAMBOO BOWL BOOMS MANILA, Dec. 31.—While revel- ers in the United States still are celebrating the arrival of 1946 the first of the New Year's Day football bowl games will be Uinder way here, with Andy Tomasic's Clark Field squad taking on Joe Zino's aggrega- tion from Leyte in the windup of the Philippine Olympics.

Di Mage isn't taking chances on Itering or missing fire when he tries to pick up his New York Yankee career where he left off after the world series of 1942. Last fall he saw Hank Greenberg hobble around the outfield and watched Cecil Travis bend his aching back for a grass-cuiter that he never touched and he decided that was not for him, Every day ycu'll find the Yankee Clipper at the New York Athletic Club using all the gym machines and gadgets, working like he never worked before. He is putting on a “winter” training routine that makes the old spring training romps look ridiculous in compari- son. “After watching some of the other fellows last fall at the Yankee Stadium I told myself I would undergo as tough a training schedule as I could stand,” said Joe. “That means about three weeks here, two weeks more on my own in Florida and then a start with the early birds at St. Peters- burg.” DiMaggio has little doubt of his ability to regain his former sharp- ness, pointing out he was used to stepping into the lineup at the last minute, playing games a week or so after his contract trouble had he is taking no been signed.
