ding-dong battle here on Jan. 2.
For the team averages over 19
Cotton Bowl games show that
things have just about evend out
over the years between host and
visiting teams.- And TCU and Mis
sissippi—champions of their re
spective conferences and each with
9-1 records—have the 1955 back
ground to make statistics come
true.
Since 1936, there’s been a dif
ference of only 1.7 points be
tween the average score of the host
and visiting team, despite an av
erage of four touchdowns per
game. The home club has “won”,

15.3 to 13.6, over the years.
First downs are all even in the
averages, and the visitors have a
rushing edge of 180 yards to 168.
But the Southwest Conference,
hosts here for 17 of 19 games and
the automatic home team since
1941, more than offsets this deficit
with its traditional passing advan
tage. SWC teams have a 100-yard
pass gain average in the 19 games
off the throwing talent of such
stars as Sam Baugh, Bobby Layne,
Tobin Rote and Doak Walker.
The even-steven statistics show
up in pass interceptions (one each
per game), in punts (36.5 yards
for the hosts against 36.7), and
penalties (31 yards for the home
team and 40 for the visitors).
For all of this, the host has won
10 games of the 19, with six losses
and three ties. And statistics even
pi’edict good weather for the Cot
ton Bowl game—nine have been
played in ideal weather, seven un
der clear but cold conditions and
only three game days have been
disagreeable.
And if 1955 statistics are an ac
curate measure, the twentieth Cot
ton Bowl renewal will see TCU
take a slight edge in first downs
and in rushing gains, while Mis
sissippi has the advantage in pass
ing and kicking.
The score: TCU has averaged
29 points per game this year and
Mississippi has averaged 25.
So, if statistics and football his
tory mean a thing, the game in
Dallas will be crowded with a free-
scoring but tightly-fought action.
Too, statistics may not mean a
thing, but the form predicts anoth
er thriller in the list of exciting
Cotton Bowl classics.
North-South Game
Set For Monday
MIAMI, Fla. — (A*) — The North
and South College All-Star foot
ball squads will clash Monday in
the annual North-South game at
the Orange Bowl and it seems a
sure bet coaches on both sides will
look first to their air attacks.

What’s doing
at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft
Domestic Travel —
in the Age of Jet Transports
Nowhere else can engineering graduates utilize their
traiding more fully than in the rapidly evolving field
of aircraft propulsion. Work is well under way on the
development of even more advanced powerplants —
jet, turboprop, nuclear.
Starting in 1959, United Air Lines’ flight time be
tween Los Angeles and New York will be AVi hours —
between Chicago and New York, only 90 minutes. By
placing the first contract order for jet transports to be
used in domestic operations, United Air Lines has upheld
its reputation as a pioneer in American air travel. Its
new fleet of 30 Douglas DC-8 Clippers will be powered
by the most powerful production aircraft engines in the
world, J-57 turbojets, designed and developed by Pratt &
Whitney Aircraft.
It is only a matter of time until jet transports are
standard equipment along the air lanes of the world.
The large majority of them will be powered by Pratt
Sc Whitney Aircraft jet engines — an achievement of
great significance.
A jet-turbine powerplant that develops 10,000 pounds
of thrust — or more — involved some of the most com
plex problems of present-day engineering. A glance
at the roster of today’s J-57—powered military aircraft*
is proud testimony to the success with which those
problems were resolved by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft
engineers
• F-100 • F-101 • F-102 • F4D • F8U • A3D * 8 52 • KC-135
Pratt & Whitney Aircraft J-57 Turbojet is blazing the way for a new
generation of American aircraft. Already powering many of the
most important types of military airplanes, the J-57 is now leading
the world into an era of commercial jet transportation.
