Bears, Sooners, Longhorns Slated To Lose In Bowls
New York, Dec. 9—(UP)—California's Golden Bears and Clemson's tearing Tigers, both of whom finished among the nation's undefeated and untied titans, were underdogs as they headed toward New Year's day bowl battles.
The men who post the prices figured that the North Carolina-Oklahoma
ROSE BOWL
till—without a perfect record in the house—would be the game of the day come New Year's day.
Northwestern $61\frac{2}{3}$ over California—that's even smaller odds than expected, however, for the Pasadena clambake. U.S.C. brought 'em skidding by fighting Notre Dame to a draw. It sounds even when you consider that California beat U.S.C., which tied Notre Dame, which beat Northwestern. But that problem of schedule severity raises its head again, and Northwestern certainly had a tougher row to hoe than the Golden Bears.
SUGAR BOWL
North Carolina's 1-12 over Oklahoma—The Sooners lost their opener and then came like Whirlaway in the stretch. The Tarheels were tied once. Both beat Texas, the only common opponent. But again it's a shade for a team with a tougher schedule when they hook up at New Orleans.
COTTON BOWL
Southern Methodist $6\frac{1}{2}$ over Oregon—Oregon's record seems the most impressive, with only one loss against S.M.U.'s loss and tie. Then, too, S.M.U. barely skinned through three games. But again it's that tougher schedule which apparently makes the Mustangs the choice at Dallas.
ORANGE BOWL
'GATOR BOWL
Georgia 7 over Texas—on first glance this appears to be an underlay. Georgia dropped only one game, a close 21-14 decision to North Carolina, which whipped Texas rather handily, 34 to 7. The Longhorns also were bounced by Oklahoma and S.M.U. which makes them appear like a fine steak dinner for the Bulldogs in the Miami muscle dance.
Missouri 7 over Clemson—see how much respect that undefeated and untied business means! The men of Missouri were bounced twice this season but also clawed such as S.M.U. and Navy. Clemson apparently lost much prestige for this Saturday Jan. 1 tussle at Jacksonville, Fla., when it barely squeezed past much-battered Auburn, 7 to 6, in its season finale.

Three Proposals To Big 9 Vote
Chicago, Dec. 9—(UP)—The Big Nine opens its regular winter meeting tomorrow with three items on the agenda which could make Western conference history.
Major topics which faced the faculty representatives, athletic directors and football coaches were:
1. Decision by the faculty representatives whether to admit Michigan State as the tenth member of the league.
2. Approval, amendment or rejection by the faculty representatives of a new plan to tighten restrictions on scholarships held by athletes.
3. Preparation by athletic directors and football coaches of the grid schedules for 1950, 1951 and 1952.
There were elements in each topic which could produce heated discussions before final settlement.
It appeared that the major point affecting Michigan State's bid was whether the faculty representatives have become convinced that the league could be stronger as a 10 team loop again. Although most representatives decline to discuss their position, it was understood that Minnesota was the strongest supporter of the Spartan case.
There was a split among the representatives on the scholarship rule. After nearly two years of discussion the amendment finally was approved by the faculty representatives last fall. But, according to league regulations, it must be approved unanimously by the faculty boards of member schools.
Not all of the faculty boards approved the amendment and so it was thrown back to conference action again. Approval by a majority of the faculty representatives at this meeting would make the rule effective.

Cleveland Pitcher's Condition 'Good'
Cleveland, Dec. 9—(UP)Dr. Spencer Braden, the brain specialist who performed an operation to remove a weak spot in an artery in pitcher Don Black's head Tuesday, said today the condition of the Indians' hurler was "very satisfactory."
"Black has made very good response to the operation." Dr. Braden said and added that "barring complications everything should go well."
Black suffered a brain hemorrhage during a game with the St. Louis Browns here late in September.
It was probable that athletic directors and football coaches would sit in daylong session and possibly fail to complete the grid schedules for the three years. Efforts at the last conference meeting at Madison, Wis., last May failed to produce a schedule. Should officials fail this time, the faculty representatives might be forced to order the grid slates for three seasons.
