It Was felt the other I bowls couldn’t pay enough money to warrant participation. ' But first crack out of the box Baylor goes to the Dixie Bowl, meaning that post-season game is either paying more money than anybody thought it could or money doesn’t matter anyway; the coaches want the boys to have the trip., Biggest surprise for the fans was getting Oregon in the Cotton Bowl. The Rose Bowl was thought to be a dosed Corporation—opera ted only for the Pacific Coast and Big Nine Conferences. But there was a rule down in the fine print that made it possible for Oregon to come here. That rule says that no member of either conference can play in any bowl game that does not give all the gate receipts to the comi peting teams. It so happens the Cotton Bowl and Rose Bowl are the only ones that do this.
