Oregon Now
Dark Horse
Bow! Team
NEW YORK, Nov. 25—(AP) —
Oregon became a ‘‘dark horse”
possibility for the Cotton Bowl to
day as sponsors of the three big
Southern January 1 shows con
tinued their search for attractive
talent.
First, Coach Jim Aiken of the
Webfoots, whose boys were edged
out of the Rose Bowl by Califor
nia, announced he would welcome
a bid from one of the bigger at
tractions—such as the Orange, Su
gar or Cotton Bowls.
.Then an unofficial report came
from Dallas that Cotton Bowl
sponsors might take Qregon up on
that if North Carolina didn’t hur
ry up and make up its mind.
North Carolina is said to be the
Southern Methodist’s No. 1 choice
as an opponent at. Dallas New
Year’s Day. But the Tar Heels,
\ with the Sugar Bowl probably also
beckoning, haverft rushed up to
snap the bait.
Sugar Bowl Keeps Mum
Meanwhile, the Sugar Bowl
directors at New Ogleans and the
Orange Bowl crowd at Miami re
mianed mum about their progress
in lining up a program. Both are
expected to announce after Satur
day’s games.
Oklahoma, the Big Seven cham
pion which is figured a good bowl
bet, also announced its aavilabili
ity. Members of the team said
they’d consider any bowl invita
tion if they won over Oklahoma
A. and M. Saturday.
Three bowls were filled yester
day, in this fashion: Vulcan—Agri
cultural and Technical College
(Greensboro, N. C.) vs. Kentucky
State at Birmingham, Jan. 1: Sun
Bowl—West Virginia U. vs. Texas
Mines at El Paso, Tex.; Jan. 1;

plunged 15 yards for another score
and the try for the extra point was
no good.
There was little scoring in the
last guarter, but after a sustained
60 yard march Donald Cofer went
over into pay dirt from the 10
yard marker. Hudson added the
extra point.
Athenss Coach Bober nKelley
said even though the Scorpions
played very good ball, they still
showed need for practice which
has been interfered with for the
past two weeks. ’

' Georgia Battle Flag Into Action
l By 808 OLIVER, Banner-Herald Sports Editor
ATLANTA, Ga,, Nov, 25..—Almost 40,000 fans were
t«'lunlu.’m! to jam Tech’s Grant Field this afternoon at 3
o'clock when the freshman teams of (reorgia and (}mnx“,riu‘
I'l’(-.-h nlay their annual Thanksgiving Day game for the
’\)l'u‘.li:th Rite Hosnital.
The Bullpups are ruled seven
point favorites in today’s. game, but
that’s being unfair to the lads
from Athens since there’s no way
to look at the situation and make
the decision. st
There has been one common
opponent among the two teams.
Georgia lost to Auburn frosh by
one point—l 4-13, while the Baby
Jackets were the victims of the
Plainsmen by two points — 14-12,
A matter of an extra point sepa
‘rates the two state yearling out
fits. And that’s not much of an
} advantage.
Strong Line
! Quinton Lumpkin’s crew will
depend upon a strong line, and the
passing of Billy Grant and the
ground-work of Zippy Moroceo,
Athens will have a personal in
terest in the tiit, -since one of the
hometown boys—-Ed Greenway ——l
is expected to play a major roll in
the game at right guard for thel
Bullpups.
A passing duel between the
Jackets’ Darrell Crawford and
Georgia’s Billy Grant is expected
to highlight the game. Both are
rated top flingers, and therd are
plenty of adept men around to be
on the receiving end of the tosses
by these two. :
Coach Wally Butts has acclaim
ed Morocco, who plays left half
back, as one of the best pass re
ceivers to enter Georgia in sev
eral years. And Zippy, who hails
from Frank Sinkwich’s hometown

Top Stars Here Saturday
Sanford Stadium will be over
loaded Saturday with about 51,000
football fans who either were
smart and bought early or knew
a Joe who had some tickets.
The game they’ll see for their
$4.20 (or sls to a scalper) is Geor
gia Tech vs. Georgia, annually a
football special and almost an
nually a bowl decider.
Along with the game there’ll be
plenty more.
There is little doubt that again
this year the wiianer will become
a bowl team—even Tech with two
defeats still plays on the bowl se
lection fringe.
The Southeastern Conference
championship will be decided in
the natural hollow under which
old Tanyard Branch had to be
piped before they could lay the
gridiron.
Three players who a lot of peo
ple call All-America will run, kick
and pass for the last college try
outside a New Years Day bowl.
These brightest of lights, in the
dusky hollow are two of Dixie’s
top linesmen — Guard Bill Healy
and End George Brodnax of Tech
—and Johnny Rauch, Georgia’s
imported Pennsylvanian who phy
sically has a weak heart, a strong
passing arm and enough football
direction to make him a leading
quarterback.
Final Scoring Chance
Joe Geri, the one time slow
moving Georgia scrub who grew
to be the Southeastern’s top scorer,
will have his final shot at scoring
more than 100 points in a season.
Such a mark would be a record
and Geri has a chance with 87
points already across.
Two of the country’s better
coaches will direct from worn
paths on the sidelines where they
always pace and rant.

ky, optimistic Tennessean will op

solemn Wally (The Weep) Butts

Bulldogs. Butts is a native Geor

Georgia will be the favorite re
gardless of rain or sun. Both teams

ond, kicking third and never of
getting beat.
The record of the Bulldogs is

lads’ traditional rival—the Red Eiephants of Gainesville
High School. Game time on the home team’s field is 2:30
thig afternoon.
The Athenians, winners of three
games out of nine so far this sea

lose to Gainesville by a large
score, but today the Trojans are
only slight underdogs. Spalding

the Turkey Day game. .
Indoor Work z
Both of the rival squads have
done much indoor work this week
because of the rain and the wet
field conditions. The week has
been devoted mostiy to light drills.
