A look at the conference’s inter-
sectional Cage record thus far this
season shows how the new rule will
benefit.
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

were as good as those in any other
section but that the boys didn’t
play enough. He pointed out that
teams in the east made it a year-
aifound proposition. If a boy Wasn’t

By the time that !thejy; are in
their favorite bowls, braggittfe to
the guy next to them about the
slick way they managed to obtain
tickets on the 39 yard line, their
temperature will be up toward the
boiling point, concerning the game.
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,-
