WRAPPING
Strictly Guesswork
On Ducats, Teams,
In ’50 Cotton Bowl
BY WILBUl
Associated
MARTIN
Staff
Were you among the thousands who made applications
for Cotton Bowl tickets?
Are you wondering if you’ll be among the lucky ones to
get them? And who you’ll see play Jan. 2?
It’s strictly quesswork on both questions. They’ll hold
public drawing to see who*gets^
s 25,000 tickets available to thei
P
a
the
general ptiblic.
11 But the question of contestants
is ope that can’t be answered until
the final; Southwest Conference
ame of the season.
Rice Baylor and Southern
Methodist stand good chances to
act as host club. Rice has the
inside track, since it already has
beiten Southern Methodist and I
Ska. f
BJut who would be the visiting
team ? t . j
Kjentucky could have been. Still
might be. But a grandstand guess
would bg the Wildcats’ showing
against Southern Methodist ruined
their chances of an invitation.
Rouisiana State could be. If the
ho^t team isn’t Rice. The Owls
have already been beaten by the
Tiven. ij!
Tulane? Maybe. If the Green
Wave goes the rest of the way
undefeated, it might spurn a
Suger Bowl bid. There’s more
monetary sugar in the Cotton
Biowl than the classic at New
Oirleans.
North Carolina? Cotton Bowl of-
ndiils weren’t exactly pleased at
preliminary negotiations with the
Tar H«eU lust year. They might
have a good memory. And that
lofts to Tennessee certainly dim
med the record of Charley Justice
and company.
Oklahoma f The Sojmcrs wont to
the Sugar Bowl last year. They’ve
played in the Cotton Bowl Stnd-
iupi once already this year. They
might like to come back for the
Bowl game itself. It would be
a break for Oklahomans. They
colild easily get to the game.
If Baylor or Rice is the host
team. Oklahoma might be first
choice.
[The possibility of an eastern or
faf western contest for the Cotton
Bpwl is pretty remote. It looks
like the midwest or old south has
all the candidates.

Local Residents To
Have Phones Soon
Jl ! L: •
Forty to sixty days is the tent
ative time stet for bringing appli
cations for telephones up to date,
D. E. Strickland, representative of
the Southwest States telephone
company, told members of the Col
lege Station telephone committee
recently. [
Three hundred and eighty two
applications! which were bn hand in
July, 305 have been disposed of,
77 are still pending and an addi
tional 180 have been received since
that date. [
Strickland pointed out that cer
tain circumstances make it diffi
cult for the company to set any
given date upon which the company
will be able to ‘ provide service
upon application. He pointed out
gs evidence the electrical storm
of Friday a week ago in which a
number bf| cables were damaged.
Another committee meeting with
telephone representatives is sche
duled shortly after January 1, by
which time ihe College Station sub
station is expected to be completed,

Californian Owns
Obliging Auto
VENTURA, Cali., — <AP) — It
sounds^ like something out of an
old Mack Sennett movie but it was
no comedy to Harry Wilton Field,
3.
Field took his two children with
him yesterday as he drove a trail
er-load of.traah to the city dump.
He feaw that the trash was afire.
He stepped on the gas to beat the
fire to the dump.
Rounding a curve, the car door
swdhgf open and Field fell out. The
driverlesa auto with the children
aboard sped crazily down the high
way, turned itself around and came
back. 1 jit yknocked Field to the
pavement.
The car stalled. Field was treat
ed for cuts. The children were
unhurt.

The viewing screens were set

The surgeon was Dr, Alexander
