Hawaii Discovers That Bowl Picking Is No Bed Of Roses
It was the Pineapple bowl at Honolulu which got caught in the most embarrassing predicament as invitations crackled over the wires in a frenzy. Hawaii was picked as one team, and the University of Louisville and Redlands of California both were tendered invitations as the visiting eleven. Both accepted.
Two of the proposed bowl committees got a little tired of the entire frantic proceedings and just tossed in the towel. The Legion Bowl set for Los Angeeles Dec. 20 and the Alamo Bowl scheduled for San Antonio, Tex., Jan. I both gave the lack of representative teams as their reasons for bowing out.
New York,—(UP)—The nation's newest fad of bouncing bowl bids from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and points west, got screwier than ever today after one post-season game invited three teams.
But that was only part of the pixy pageant enacted by the bowl brethren. Compton, Cal., Junior college got sore when it wasn't selected for the Little Rose bowl at Pasadena, Dec. 13. So Compton just decided to start its own bowl and challenged Tyler, Tex., Junior college. Tyler accepted, and the two teams even thought of snatching that "Little Rose Bowl" title since Tyler is now the rose-growing capital of the U. S., or claims to be.
Had enough of bowls? Don't quit yet. The University of Nevada was picked to play in the Salad bowl at Phoenix, Ariz. But when North Texas State was named as its opponent, Nevada turned around and rejected the bid. Wasn't satisfied with the opponent.
The only thing to do was to let the Hawaii team pick its opponent. It picked Redlands. Coach Frank Camp of Louisville admitted he was a "little disappointed," but would not elaborate.
John Lujack Wins Heisman Trophy
John Lujack, Notre Dame quarterback, today was named winner of the Heisman trophy annually awarded to the outstanding player of the year as chosen by an annual New York poll of sportswriters and broadcasters.
Lujack, one of the best all-around players in the college game today, was named all-American last season, and is sure to repeat this year.
Behind Chappuis were Doak Walker, S.M.U. back with 196, Charley Conerly, Mississippi back with 186, Harry Gilmer, Alabama back with 115, Bobby Layne, Texas back with 74, Charles Bednarik, Penn center with 65, and Bill Swiaacki, Columbia end with 61.
The 22-year-old field general from Connellsville, Pa., received 742 points, winning easily over offensive star Bob Chappuis of Michigan who polled 555.
An all-American team compiled at Duke university from the selections of 100 sports editors on college newspapers finds Ray Evans in the second team backfield and John Rapacz, Oklahoma lineman, at center on the third string. The Daily Kansan submitted its selection in the Duke survey.
In 1946 and 1945 the trophy was won by the "Touchdown Twins" of Army, with Glenn Davis getting the trophy in 1946, and Doc Blanchard annexing it the year before.
Duke Polls Colleges For All-American
First team: Ends-Poole, Mississippi and Swiacki, Columbia; tackles —Connor, Notre Dame and Davis, Georgia Tech; guards —Steffy, Army and Fischer, Notre Dame; center—Scott, Navy; backs, Lujack, Notre Dame, Chappuis, Michigan; Walker, Southern Methodist; and Layne, Texas.
The Oklahoma region, in the Pleistocene period, was overrun by horses some no larger than a fox, camels, rhinoceroses, mastodons, mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, musk oxen and immense herds of elephants.
Ags, Sooners Win Openers
New York—(UP)—Intercollegiate basketball, spiced with an intersectionsal flavor, will begin in earnest this week with three Madison Square garden doubleheaders included in the first major outburst of 1947-48 games.
Two Big Six quintets opened their 1947-48 basketball seasons in victory last night, the Kansas State Wildcats taking a 52 to 37 tilt from Rockhurst college at Manhattan and the Oklahoma Sooners defending western champs, defeated the Mustangs from Southern Methodist, 55 to 45 at Norman.
Rick Harmon, lanky forward, set the pace for coach Jack Gardner's Wildcats as he sank eight from the field for a high total of 16 points. Harold Howey, K-State's ace of last year, followed Harman with 13. The tough Hawks trailed at halftime, 18 to 25.
Bruce Drake's rebuilt Sooners turned in an impressive night's work against the Mustangs to serve notice on the rest of the Big Six that they will again be among the league's toughies. Sparking the 55-point Oklahoma barrage was Bill Water, 6 foot, 5 inch sophomore center. Gerald Tucker's understudy last year the tall Sooner racked up seven goals and two free ones to total 16, one behind Roy Pugh, the Mustang center.
Paul Merchant and Paul Courty, holdovers from last year, trailed Waters in the scoring and stood out on passing and rebounding.

IM Entry Deadline Moved To Dec. 4
The deadline for intramual basketball and rifle entries has been extended to noon Thursday, Don Powell, intramural director, said today.
A total of 70 teams has already turned in entries for basketball competition, but the rifle entries have lagged. Rifle team matches will be on Monday and Wednesday nights, with possibly another night per week added later, Powell said. Points will be awarded on the same basis as for B-team football and basketball, that is, 35 points for a win and half that for a loss.
League competition in both basketball and rifle shooting will begin next week, with the first games on Monday. All basketball contests will be in Robinson gymnasium or the new annex. Teams may reserve either of these courts for practice this week by signing the practice schedule in the intramural office in Robinson gymnasium.
Einstein's theory of relativity is said to be understood by only fourteen persons in the whole world.
Business, too,
must have expert navigation
IN the telephone business, much of the knowledge of "where we are" and guidance as to "where we are headed" comes from the analysis of statistics.
Telephone statisticians and engineers are constantly studying trends and figures. They assemble the facts, analyze them, correlate them, discover their significance, draw guidance from them.
The work of these men is vital to our never-ending task of improving telephone service.In such work many college-trained men have found satisfying and rewarding careers.
And this is but one of the many interesting phases of the telephone business.
There's opportunity and adventure in telephony.
