Duke Needs Win Over North Carolina For Bowl Bid Ohio State, Nebraska Only Sure Bowl Teams By ED CORRIGAN The Associated Press ‘The scramble of lucrative bow! berths was not over by any means today, but no matter how the final pairings line up the “natural” of the year won't take place. The Rose Bowl is the only one of the four big postseason extray- aganzes filled. It wil) pit twice- Southern California against Ohio State, UCLA, possib- ly the only team in the country capable of giving the Buckeyes an argument, played in the Rose Bowl lgst Jan. 1, and by Pacific Coast Conferenee edict, can’t appear s far as college football goes, ‘sa genuine tragedy. Both Ohio State and UCLA boast proud 90 records. Both are undisputed asters of their conferences — JA the PCC and Ohio State the Big Tén—and they rate the Nos. 2 teams in the nation. was any doubt as to who st in the PCC, it was dis- pelled last Saturday when UCLA Trojans 34-0. Ohio State meanwhile, Big T mn game, a 21-7 decision ams emerged with ents. They were Ar- Both sneaked in Doge ate 7-6, and Nebraska suf- a 55-7 pasting at the hands But .. . Baylor beat Southern Methodist 33-21 in a South- west Conference game. Since SMU was Arkansas’ only competitor for the Cotton Bowl agree bet at spelled for the. Mustangs. aaee pr ie tie Arkansas for the league title, but the Razor- packs had the forethought to whip Baylor earlier in the season to elinch it. Oklahoma, like UCLA is barred fromi appearing in the Orange Bowl two years in a tow, the runner- up gets it this year. Oklahoma’s victory over Nebraska gave the Sooners their seventh straight Big |. Seven title. Kansas State was the only team that had a chance of overtaking Nebraska in the race for second place. Colorado beat State 38-14 and that settled things. If Duke can get past North Car- olina Saturday, the Blue Devils no doubt will get the Atlantic Coast Conference spot in the Orange A vote is taken, but Duke have a spotless record com- pared to one tie against Maryland. Conversely, if the Blue Devils lose, Maryland probably will get the nod for the second straight year. Should Mississippi win the South- ea Conference championship by getting past Mississippi State - Saturday, Ol? Miss will act as host team in'the Sugar Bowl. Baylor has a good chance of being named the The settling of the Southeastern Yace also will enable the Cotton Bowl selectors some width in de- | ciding the team to oppose Arkan-| gas. Auburn and Kentucky, winners of their last five in a row, appear | to have the inside track. Wichita finally won a Missouri Valley crown with a 20-0 victory | over Detroit and probably will get) a bid to the Gator Bowl. Any of the teams passed over for the Cot- ton or Sugar bowls can get the| other spot. The mythical Ivy League title still is unsettled because Harvard | upended Yale, the leader, 13-9. As | a result, Harvard won the Big Three championship (Harvard-| Yale-Princeton) and this one is | more important to the three teams involved than the league crown. Notre Dame beat Iowa 34-18.

Dial 2-6831 (Ice Division) Key West, Florida Conch Fans Can Get Preview Of Stingarees Key West football fans in gen- eral and members of the 1955 high school gridiron squad and coach- ing staff in particular this week will have a chance to see for them- Selves what kind of pigskin tactics the Miami High Stingarees employ while under fire. Since the Conchs have inked a contract to do battle with Miami High on the local field the next two seasons, the game Thursday night in the Orange Bowl at Mia- mi between the Stingarees and the Red Raiders of Edison High will not only be productive of thrilling football but will give Key Westers a pre-view of what to expect when the Miamians make their debut here in 1955. The Turkey Day battle between Edison and Miami'High dates back to 1925. In the 29-year-old bitter series, Edison has beaten the Stin- garees only once. That was in 1952 when the Red Raiders triumphed 21-7 and “‘tore-up” the town in ce- lebration. Edison: believes it~ will do iti |.again Thursday night to climax the most successful season of the school’s history. The Raiders have an unbeaten and untied record thus far this season. Their victor. ies over Coral Gables, 19-4, and Landon of Jacksonville, 19 - 7, have been their closest competition, Miami High wound up in a 14- 14 tie with Coral Gables. They have Motorcycle Race George Montero. was the winner Sunday in a Quiz Race sponsored by the Key West Angles motory- cle club. Montero pocketed $16 prize mon- ey in the race which ran from the county beach to Big Pine Key, His elapsed time was three hours and 45 minutes.

They lost to| Central High of Chattanooga, 14 - 21, and to Baylor Prep of Chat- tanooga, 0-16. Among Florida com- petition, the Stings piled up im- pressive scores. | The only team to score <a than one touchdown against Edison was West Palm Beach, which suf-| fered a 12-33 defeat, The Raiders | shut out Jax of Jacksonville and Miami Jackson, considered among the strongest prep teams in the} state. They» overwiielmed Ft. Lau- | derdale, 62-6, and rolled over Lee | of Jacksonville, 33-2. sd Getting back to the Thanksgiving rivalry between Edison and Miami High, the Stings have amassed 29 victories, 14 by shutouts. In all, they haye met 32 times since 1925, when the Radiers were known as the Lemon City Aggies. The teams fought to ties in.1928 | and 1935. In all of the games, Mia- mi High has never failed to score at least one touchdown. The most impressive Sting victories were 40-6 in 1942 and 41-6 in 1949. There is much at stake in the Bowl game Thursday night. Edison will not only be trying for an unbeaten, untied season and their gecond victory over the Sting- arees in 19 years, but will be bat- tling for city.and possibly state championships. The victory will al- so be declared host in the annual Kiwanis charity game, December Teams in eight states are being considered to play in the Kiwanis game against the winner of the Edison - Miami High Turkey Day Battle. ; ‘Individual honors are also at! stake. Two players, one from each team, are tied for the number of touchdowns they have -scored this. season. Olin Greene of Edison and Larry Fonts of Miami High have each crossed pay dirt 16 times, and one of them may well come out | of the fray with city scoring title. Edison will also be out to keep| its record clean of defeats and| ties, which, if it should down Mia- mi High, will be the first time in the school’s history that a Red Raider team has battled its way | through a season undefeated and untied, It has been estimated that a his- tory - breaking crowd of. 40,000 will be on hand to watch these powers among prep teams of the state. The annual Turkey Day clash has always engendered keen interest in | mong alumni and partisans of both schools, and this year is no ex- ception. Formac’ ‘players und ‘thes dents from all over Florida and other states travel to Miami each | Thanksgiving to witness another bitter battle in the long-standing ri- valry. Whatever the outcome, Key West- ers are looking forward to the first of two Conch - Stingaree griditon Miami in the past, especially a-|classics next year.
