This conference starts basket ball after the other conferences have been training for weeks. By the time the southwest teams are in form and playing top basket ball they already have lost most of their big intersectional tests. It was the second week of the campaign this year-before the con ference jfnembers started taking some victories. It’s going to be difficult for the teams to catch up after their disastrous first week. It was: the observation of Claire Bee, Long Island University men tor .that Texas Basketball players were as good as those in any other section but that the boys didn’t play enough.

Although fans of that caliber can be found nearly everywhere there is a bowl, most of their interest lies in the “Big pour,” the Rose Bowl in Pasedenf, the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, the Su gar Bowl in New Orleans, and the Orange Bowl in Miami. Out of the four, the two con- ceeded to have the best drawing cards of the lot are the Cotton and Sugar Bowls. 1 ] SMU, the host team in the Cot>. ton Bowl, will meet the co-Cham pions of the Pacific Coast Confer ence, the Oregon WebfoOts. Ore gon tied with California for that conference’s top honorsi gnd offer ed to have a playoff game for the championship but the Bears de clined. In a vote by the members of that league the Bears were chosen to play in the Rose Bowl. .Oregon and SMU have similar records this season, the Web-; foots having lost only oite, that to Michigan, while winning all others. The Mustangs have the same record with only one loss to Missouri to mar their a. Fans who see this one will: get a chance to compare the i passing aces of the two teams, Gil Johnson of SMU, and Norm Van Brocklin i of Oregon. Besides those two, Doak Walker is expected to be in top shape again after being slowed by a bad leg the last paH of the season so anything can bt expec ted. In the Sugar'Bowl, .North Caro lina’s Charlie Justice will be ex pected to show his speed and raz zle-dazzle to Oklahoma’s great all round team. Jack Mitchell, superb quarter back of the Oklahoma Soonera,' and a galaxy of other stars will be expected to stop the Tarheels because of their grRat defebsive play shown this season. . I;./ In the Rose Bowl, the oldest of them all,, Northwestern’s Wildcats take on California’s Golden Bears in what promises tb be another embarassing day for the coa;st con ference. This game, somewhat over rated, will draw the largest crowd of them all, something ove^ 100,- 000. \ Because of thiiiiN^Hhv^iorn, the runnor-up to Michigan’s d(h pkihs of the Big ffjnoj’.waR se tW Forty Acres, the oyer-fated anIF four times defeated Tii&i Longhorns have been the target of, some not-too-complimciURry remarks tossed at them by various jsports scribes, purticulajrly from the Miami area where the Orange bowl is. iS 1 k »ngh< j Bull. ames >4 will tangle withij a, champlona •K i p 1 HI „ rflhlhj* only! ■ L 8bu 11west* 4 a(n on | ry* -n I 9. , Conference, in New Ytara Day. campus over on ijys that they will so the Bulldogs to h rlr disappointing Cflsrly the last they caa or Jtot unor bowl in which Conference tram ih taking on Wake Dixie Bowl at Bir- injuary 1.
