Four SWC Teams In'Bowls
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
It is said that the reaaon the
Southwest Conference is ao popu
lar in the bowl games is because
the teams over the country feel
they have a good chance to beat
the conference representatives.
There also is another' reason.
The Southwest Conference is bowl
conscious, feels it is good for its
teams to play in the big football
spectacles and moreover there’s
money in it. About a half million
dollars per year.
The records show that the South
west Conference has done abso
lutely the worst of any league in

Utah State Battle’
Baylor Saturday
By BEN OLAN
Associated Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK—(A>)—Utah State’s
unbeaten football team held its
first workout Wednesday in the
Polo Grounds, scene of its Gotham
Bowl meeting with the Baylor
Bears Saturday.
The Aggies (Utah State that
is), who ended their regular season
with pine victories and a tie with
Wyoming plus No. 1 ranking in
The Associated Press poll, stressed
pass defense in the 90-minute drill.
“After all, Baylor led the South
west Conference in passing so
we’ll have to be on our guard,”
said John Ralston, the Aggies’

game between Utah State and
Baylor in the Polo Grounds
Saturday will be nationally
televised by the American
Broadcasting Company, the
network said today.
.poach. “We have watched movies
of the Baylor team in action since
last week and they Tiave pretty
good passers in Don Trull and Ron
Stanley and two other fine backs,
Ronnie Bull and Sonny Whorton.
“Washington State had an of
fense similar to Baylor’s. We beat
them 34-14, but they passed for
180 yards and both their touch
downs came on passes.”
The 48-man Baylor squad was
scheduled to arrive in New York
Wednesday night. The Bears
dropped their final game of the
campaign Satui’day, 26-14 to Rice,
and wound up with five victories
and five defeats.
“We haven’t played since Nov.
18,” Ralston pointed out, “so we
have a lot of work to do. We’ll
have one practice, maybe two, to
morrow and one more on Friday.
This is the first trip to New York
for most of our guys and I’m
hoping they’ll concentrate on foot
ball at least until Saturday. We’ll
be here until next Tuesday so
there’ll be plenty of time for them
to have a good time after the
game.”
Almost 20,000 tickets have been
sold for the new bowl, according
to Bob Curran, the game's direc
tor. The Polo Grounds seats
55,000.

the bowl games. Since 1957 con
ference teams have been in 13 bowl
games, lost eight, tied two and
won just three.
This year the conference will
have four teams in bowl games
with Baylor starting the campaign
this week by playing in the Gotham
Bowl at New York. Then will
come Rice in the Bluebonnet Bowl
at Houston next week, Texas in
the Cotton Bowl at Dallas Jan. 1,
the same time Arkansas is playing
in the Sugar Bowl.
What are the prospects of the
conference teams making a good
showing for a change and getting
rid of all this derisive talk over
the country, where they say we’re
in the bowl games just for the
money.
This year the conference made a
most unusual showing in intersec
tional football, winning 13 out of
21 games and tying one. Victories
over such worthies as Louisiana
State, Pitt, Florida, Kansas and
Oklahoma and Texas Christian’s
7-7 tie with mighty Ohio State
enhanced the league’s reputation
immeasurably.
But what did they do against
teams that will be playing in the
bowl games? First, there’s Missis
sippi, which meets Texas in the
Cotton Bowl. Mississippi made
Arkansas look mighty bad in beat
ing it 16-0 and thoroughly domi
nating the game.
While Rice beat Louisiana State,
which will be playing in the
Orange Bowl, Louisiana State
licked Texas A&M. Rice lost to
Georgiy Tech decisively. Georgia
Tech will play in the Gator Bowl.
Texas Christian lost to UCLA,
which will be playing in the Rose
Bowl.
The record is two victories
against bowl teams against four
losses. It doesn’t look too good for
the conference’s chances in bowl
games coming up.
Mississippi certainly appears
pretty tough for Texas. Kansas,
which plays in the Bluebonnet
Bowl, might be had by Rice.
Arkansas doesn’t figure to beat
Alabama, the nation’s No. 1 team,
in the Sugar Bowl. Baylor is a
tossup against Utah State in the
Gotham Bowl.
