Few Bowl Teams Can Boast Unblemished 1949 Record
UNITED PRESS
New York, Nov. 28—(U.P.) The fabled day when two unbeaten football giants clashed in a "classic" bowl game belonged to the past today as twice and thrice beaten teams prepared to do battle come the new year.
With most of the returns in, here is the lineup for the major Jan. 2 affairs:
Cotton bowl: Rice vs. N. Carolina.
Orange bowl: Santa Clara vs. Kentucky.
Rose bowl: California vs. O. State.
Sugar bowl: Oklahoma vs. Louisiana State.
California and Oklahoma are unbeaten and untied. But otherwise, well—
Louisiana State, Oklahoma's sugar bowl foe, lost to Kentucky, 19 to 0, and Georgia, 7 to 0. However, in defense of the Tigers, it must be pointed out that they hold victories over three conference champions, two of them bowl teams. They beat North Carolina, the southern conference champ, 13 to 7; Rice, the southwest conference champ, 14 to 7, and Saturday bounced into its bowl bid with a 21 to 0 lashing of Tulane, the Southeastern champ.
Ohio State, the visiting team in the Rose bowl, lost to Minnesota, 27 to 0, and was tied by Southern California, 13 to 13, and Michigan 7 to 7.
North Carolina moved into the Cotton bowl with a 14 to 7 victory over Virginia Saturday, but before that lost to three teams—L.S.U. Tennessee by 35 to 6 and Notre Dame by 42 to 6. Rice, the Southwest champ by virtue of its weekend 21 to 7 conquest of Baylor, lost only to L.S.U.-quite a record by 1949 bowl team standards.
Kentucky lost two before getting into the Orange bowl, losing to S.MU. by 20 to 6 and Tennessee. 6 to 0. Santa Clara lost two and tied one. The losses were to California, 24 to 7, and Oklahoma, 28 to 21, and the tie was with Stanford, 7 to 7.
There was still some unfinished bowl business, despite the raft of selections made during the weekend. The 'Gator bowl at Jacksonville, Fla., announced the selection of Maryland as one of its participants with the other to be announced tomorrow. Maryland plays Miami Saturday.
Texas Tech earned a Sun bowl spot against Georgetown with a 23 to 13 licking of Hardin-Simmons Saturday but promptly turned down the invitation and so Texas Western now is considering the bid.
Some teams played football without thought of bowl games. And they did right well, too. Army completed its eighth undefeated, united season with a 38 to 0 win over Navy, and Notre Dame also protected a perfect record with a 32 to 0 win over Southern California. The Irish play S.M.U. this Saturday on the heels of the mustangs' 21 to 13 surprise loss to Texas Christian.
Here are the other bowl games as the lineup now stands:
Refrigerator bowl, Evansville. Dec. 3: Hillsdale (Mich.) vs. Evansville.
Glass bowl, Toledo, O. Dec. 3.
Univ. of Cincinnati vs. Toledo U.
Junior Sugar bowl, Monroe, La.
Dec. 9: Lee McRae J.C. vs. Wharton

Tall Sophomores Are Allen's Hope
Coach F. C. Allen will waste no time inaugurating his youth movement for this year's Kansas basketball club. Two and possibly three sophomores will be handed starting jobs when the Jayhawkers kick the lid off her 1949-50 season against Rockhurst in Kansas City at 8:15 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are on sale now at the Athletic office.
The principles will be the already fabulous Clyde Lovelette, the 6'9" 235-pound giant, and Bill Houghland, scraping 6'4" jumping-jack. Lovelette is a cinch to open at center in a new single post offense which Allen has been installing since October.
So far the rugged newcomer is living up to forecasts with his scoring and rebounding. He will be obliged to maintain that pace to keep ahead of Jack Carby, another sophomore who measures 67" by 229.
Houland, a tireless battler and promising shooter, has grabbed a quick lead in the early dash for a starting forward berth. Two other sophs, Bill Lienhard, 6'5", and Bob Kenney, 6'2", also are hammering for recognition.
Petersen always commands consideration because of his periodic scoring outbursts. He missed the Big Seven individual title only four points last season with a 12-31 strech. More importantly, he set a new K.U. scoring record of 96 markers in six league road games.
Both now are engaged in a bitter scrap for the remaining forward berth with holdovers Gene Petersen, Buddy Bull, and Harold England. Both are trailing in the defensive department, however, and can't be expected to break in until they improve this phase of play or one of the veterans sags.
Bull is a sawed-off hustler of intense desire and could seep up the spot out of sheer determination. England is a deadly left hand poker but never has been consistent in his three previous seasons.
The veterans Jerry Waugh and Cale Bouchin will man the guard spots.
Jan. 2: McMurry vs. Missouri Vallev.
Salad bowl, Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 2: Arizona State vs. unnamed opponent. (College of the Pacific, Wyoming and Colorado Aggies have received "feelers.")
This means the entire Kansas
'Gator bowl, Jacksonville, Fla.
Jan. 2: University of Maryland vs.
an opponent to be announced to-
morrow.
Fineapple bowl, Honolulu, Jan. 2. Stanford vs. University of Hawaii.
Perfect Marks Are Maintained By Undefeated
New York, Nov. 28—(U.P.)—Football's perfect record list of 17 college teams remained intact today after the only six which had weekend games met their tests successfully.
Of the 17, all but five teams, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, California, College of Pacific, and Hillsdale of Michigan have officially closed their seasons, but some of them may revise invitations to post-season bowl games.
Notre Dame wends up next Saturday against Southern Methodist at Dallas in the finale to one of its most glorious seasons. College of Pacific, the unchallenged high scoring champions of the nation with exactly 500 points in 10 games, journeys to Honolulu to play the University of Hawaii on Dec. 16. The others play in bowl games. Ohio State in the Sugar bowl and California plays Ohio State in the Rose bowl, both on Jan. 2, while Hillsdale will play Evansville College of Evansville, Ind., next Saturday in the aptly named Refrigerator bowl.
Of the 17 teams, only four, California, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, and Army were of the major category. Army, with its glorious 38 to 0 long line of victory, floundered at Philadelphia, had the best offensive mark of the big teams with 354 points in nine games, an average of almost 40 per game.
The other "big boys" wound up impressively, too. Notre Dame's 32 to 0 trouncing of Southern Union was more memorable than the history of that colorful series while Oklahoma drubbed Oklahoma A. and M. to the tune of 41 to 0.
front line could be built of second year timbers before the season is far progressed. Allen will pick up two more highly regarded prospects today when Dean Wells, forward, and Jerry Bogue, guard, trade their football gear for court raiment.
Physically the upcoming Jay-hawker sophomores are probably the equal of any in the land. How far they can pull K.U. out of the cellar where it has languished in ties the last two seasons, is another matter. One certain fact is that Allen will throw them as much of the rebuilding burden as they can handle.
"Any improvements we make this year will have to come chiefly from our sophomores. Our veterans have been around for two years when we finished in a tie for last and cannot be expected to turn into champion owl." The spirit is great and competition is keen. I feel we definitely are on the road back. How far we can go this year remains to be seen."
Rockhurst opens its season two days earlier than the Jayhawkers against Kansas State in Manhattan. The Mountaineers closed on December 5 against Creighton before opening its home season against Purdue here December 10.
