California Hopes To End Big Ten Victory String
San Francisco, Nov. 22—(U.P.)The California football team which started its season with mediocre prospects suddenly loomed as the Pacific coast's "white hope" today in its determination to end its Rose bowl victory famine.
For three years the Western teams have absorbed humiliating lickings from the Big Ten invaders, but Cal vowed a different story for its Jan. 2 duel with Ohio State. And, what's more, this spirited optimism was supported by the coast's football experts.
University of Southern California coach Jey Cravatt played both Ohio State and California this season, tying Ohio State 13-13 and losing to Cal, 16-10. He said, "California will beat Ohio State, but it is going to be a tough job. The Bears will win because of superior strength in the backfield. I would say, the lines are about even."
"Over all," he said, "you could describe them as having a rugged line with fine ends, fine punting, good running and good passing.
"Also, they are a good second half team. They appear to me to be 50 per cent stronger the second half against Michigan than they were in the first half—just as California has been most of its games this season."
Coach Lynn Waldorf said his California scouts have seen Ohio State in action three times this season—and that the bears are ready. Scout Harold Grant described Ohio States as "A咕, sound football team."
At Columbus, O., the selection of Ohio State to meet Cal in the Rose bowl was met with whooping enthusiasm. Coach Wes Fesler said, "it's wonderful, wonderful as can be. All I know now is that we have only 16 days to practice."
Ernie Godfrey, who scouted California three times for the Buckeyes, was optimistic. "California will have a tougher time against Ohio's single wing than Ohio will have against California's T-formation. The reason is that Cal has not played against many teams with the single wing while Ohio has lots of experience against the T."
As the coaches began mapping strategy for the game itself, the perennial ticket plague swept into the California athletic office. For, although the Rose bowl stadium seats 99,800—9,000 more than last year—the are never enough to go around.
California ticket manager George Briggs said the 9,000 extras go to those who financed the stadium enlargement. As for the other 91,000, 44,000 go to California, 15,000 to Ohio State, 17,000 to the Rose bowl committee, 3,000 for sale to the press, 6,000 for veterans and civic organizations and a scant 6,000 for John Q. Public.
The tickets sell for $5.50 each, except for students. California students pay $2; no price has been set yet for Ohio State students, although they began lining up at 6 a.m. yesterday—even before the team's selection was announced—to purchase them.
As California and Ohio State jubilantly prepared for the Rose run, Stanford took a consolation prize after its 33-14 loss to Cal—a game with the University of Hawaii Jan. 2 in the Pineapple Bowl at Hawaii.

Basketball Team Skips Vacation
Solid Copper Beverage Mugs 98c
While students are home eating mother's Thanksgiving turkey dinner and enjoying a well deserved four and a half day vacation, Dr. F.C. "Phog" Allen's basketball squad will remain in Lawrence to practice.
The Jayhawkers have only nine days left to iron out their flaws before meeting the Rockhurst Hawks in their season opener on Saturday, Dec. 3 in Mason Halpin field house, Kansas City, Mo.
Dr. Allen said his squad will practice twice daily during Thanksgiving vacation. "The boys have the desire to be in tip top condition when the season opens and are determined to give Kansas a fine team this year," Dr. Allen said. The squad has shown over-all improvement since practice started on Oct. 17 and should be ready to go against Rock-hurst, he added.
Joe Louis Has Match Tonight
For his second in a series of six no-decision bouts, Louis has trimmed his weight down just a shade to 226 pounds from the $229\%$ he carried against Joe Baki in Boston, Nov. 14.
Newark, N. J., Nov. 22—(U.P.)—Joe Louis, who says he isn't making a comeback but keeps taking on new bouts, will step into the ring again tonight against young Joe Cheshul in a 10-round no-decision fight.
Chesulh, a 24-year-old former Divinity student from Bayonne, N. J., doesn't figure to hurt Louis much He's a clever boxer, but punches delicately. He has won 24 out of 27 fights since he turned pro three years ago, and his speed may cause Louis to huff and puff a bit.
Cheshul, at 187, will weigh 39 bounds less than the ex-champ.

Men's IM Has Successful Fall Season
Bv NELSON OBER
With the finishing of the fall program of the men's intramurals a grand total of 1,550 University men participated in the five sports offered.
615 Mass.
In commenting on the large number of participants, Don Powell, intramurals director, said the fall program could be considered quite successful.
There were 57 intramural football teams this fall composed of approximately 1.000 men who played a total of 175 games. This was the largest number participating in a single sport. Golf had 163 men in the single elimination tournament. In tennis there were 136 in the single elimination brackets. There were 126 men pitching horseshoes and 125 in the badminton competition.
The winners in the five sports are as follows:
Football: Independent "A", Dix club; Independent "B", Jim Beam's dream team; Fraternity "A", Beta Theta Pi; Fraternity "B", Sigma Chi; Hill "A" champion, Beta Theta Pi; Hill "B" champion. Sigma Chi.
Golf: James L. Houghton, Alpha Tau Omega.
Tennis: Robert G. Swartzell, Independent.
Horseshoes: Carl Cole, Oread hall.
Badminton: Hervey Macferran,
Phi Gamma Delta.
In speaking of the University's fall intramural system as a whole Powell said, "K.U.'s outdoor intramural facilities are far above the average of other universities and colleges in the U.S. As long as we are able to retain these and they are not used as a fieldhouse site or some other purpose, we will continue to have a
fine fall intramural program. We feel that it is one of the leading programs in the country in that it reaches a greater percentage of the male student population than do most."
With prospects of an exceptionally large number of intramural basket ball teams participating this winter the program will reach even more men in the University than before. Although there is limited space for basketball practice and games the winter program includes approximately 150 teams with about one out of every three University men planning to play.
The Navy Could Have Used
This Before Unification
Rochester, Minn.—(U.P.)—Rochester doctors are using an antiseaseallness drug to combat X-ray sickness.
The new drug, dramamine, was uncovered early this year as the most successful agent yet to prevent or cure motion sickness on ships or planes.
Doctors said they tried dramamine for the new purpose because of a similarity between motion sickness and radiation sickness symptoms, which often accompany X-ray treatment.
Dramamine was used on 82 patients and results were termed excellent in 25 per cent of the cases and good in another 53 per cent.
