2,500 Orange Bowl Tickets May Arrive This Week
Robinson gymnasium was a bedlam of activity this morning as Orange Bowl-minded students swarmed through the doors in search of precious tickets for the Miami classic.
Since the announcement last Friday that Kansas would meet Georgia Tech in the 16th Orange Bowl game, students, fans, and alumni have hounded athletic officials for tic-® kets.
The University will receive "a sizeable amount of tickets—probably around 2,500—sometime this week," Athletic Director E. C. Quigley said this morning. Students who wish tickets must sign application blanks in the athletic office.
Mr. Quigley also said that no decisions have been made as to when the Jayhawker gridsters will leave for the Florida game, or when and where the Kansas team will train for the first bowl contest in the history of the University.
No Decision Until Coach Returns "No decision will be made on such matters until Coach Sauer returns from the West coast," Mr. Quigley said. Mr. Sauer will address the Kansas alumni association of Los Angeles tonight, and plans to return to Lawrence in time for the annual football banquet Wednesday night.
The Jayhawkers will be the third Big Six conference team to play in the Orange bowl and the second to meet Gergia Tech. But Kansas will be shooting for the first Big Six victory in a major bowl. Conference teams have lost 5 games in "Big Four" bowls, and the Jayhawkers will have a chance to redeem the prestige of the league.
Georgia Tech defeated Missouri back in Paul Christman days, 21 to 7. in the 1940 Orange Bowl.
Oklahoma lost to Tennessee in 1939 by a 17 to 0 score, Nebraska was defeated 21 to 13 by Stanford in the 1941 Rose Bowl, Missouri barely lost 2 to 0 for Fordham in the 1942 Sugar Bowl, and the Tigers were defeated 40 to 27 in the 1946 Cotton Bowl by Texas. Georgia Tech Is Oponent
Announcement of the selection of Georgia Tech as New Year's day opponent of Kansas came Friday afternoon, only a few hours after delighted Jayhawker fans learned that their team had receive the Orange Bowl nod.
The Kansas bid was accepted by Athletic Director E. C. Quigley in Lawrence, and Head Coach George Sauer in Tucson, Ariz., where the Jayhawkers were preparing to take the field against Arizona university. The Kansas team voted unanimously to accept the bid.
The Georgia Tech bid was accepted by Bobby Dodd, Tech head coach Coach Dodd was one of Bob Neyland's greatest tailbacks at Tennessee. His present team employs basically the single wing, but occasionally throws in a "T" play for variety.
All-American Tackle
Georgia Tech, situated at Atlanta, has a potential All-American in Bob "Earthquake" Davis, tackle. Davis began to attract attention early in the season, and as the Tech's rolled along has picked up more and more supporters. The helfy lineman has been a consistent star in the Tech forward wall, and possibly was one of the major reasons why the Georgia team has an undefeated record, except for a 14 to 7 loss to highly-rated Alabama.
The record of Ray Evans, Jay-hawker candidate for All-American, speaks for itself. Completing six years of collegiate and service football, Evans is rated as one of the finest backs ever developed in this area, and has already been named first team All-American on several selections.

Four Kansans On All-Big Six
Two backfield aces and a pair of star linemen were chosen from the University of Kansas fill positions on the Associated Press All-Big Six team for 1947, giving the co-champs the greatest representation on this year's mythical eleven.
Ray Evans and Otto Schnellbacher, repeaters from last year's dream team, were the only players on the squad to get unanimous support from the coaches and sports writers who picked the honor eleven. Don Fambrough was also picked for the second straight year, and Forrest Griffith, named for the first time, is one of two sophomores and the youngest member on the 1947 team.
Other Jayhawkers included among the choice talent in the conference are Bud French, picked on the second team backfield; Hugh Johnson, Dick Monroe, and Frank Pattate, selected for positions on the third team. French and Monroe are sophomores, Johnson and Pattate are juniors.
Missouri and Oklahoma each placed three men on the first team, and Nebraska's Tom Novak received such enthusiastic support that he was given a first-team guard berth to make room for Johnny Rapacz at center.
Schnellbacher's running mate at end is Mel Sheehan of Missouri. Tackles are Wade Walker, the Sooner who repeats from last year, and Chester Fritz, Missouri's captain-elect for next year. Harold Entsminger and Jack Mitchell, the brilliant T-formation quartebacks for the Tigers and Sooners, fill out the backfield, along with Evans and Griffith.
Walker, Rapacz, and Novak are also repeaters from last year's star-studded team. The two Sooner stars, both juniors, are the heaviest men on the team.
Good guards were plentiful this year in the Big Six, and the second team selections are among the best in the midlands. Paul Burris of Oklahoma was mentioned for All-American last year, and Bob Stone of Missouri was a key figure in the powerful Tiger wall.
The University of Colorado officially becomes a member of the Big Six today. The new league will contain seven members, but will be known as the Big Six until someone thinks of a better name.
Colorado To Join Big Six Today
Colorado was admitted to the conference March 1. The first sport in which the Buffs will participate is basketball, and they will gradually fit into line in other sports.
The university is located at Boulder, Colo., and has an enrollment of about 6.000. It's football field, Folsom Field, seats 27,500, and the field house will seat 5,000.
It is possible that the conference will be known as the Big Seven, as the Rocky Mountain group of that name has become the Skyline Six.
By Paying $5 A Week He Can Clean Up Debt
Goshen, Ind...(UP)—If he keeps his word this time, Guy McKinstry, 47, might be free of debt by April, 1950.
McKinsey was jailed for contempt of court when his divorced wife charged that he owed $633 for the support of his children.
USC To Decide National Champ In Two Games
New York—(UP)—The question before the house today was which is the better team—Notre Dame or Michigan—and it was up to Southern California to learn in two not-soeasy lessons.
The judge let him go on condition that he keep up $5 payments every week until he is caught up.
The Pacific Coast champions, unbeaten though tied once, meet Notre Dame this week in Los Angeles' massive Coliseum. That will be lesson number one. Then on New Year's Day the Trojans meet Michigan in the Rose Bowl for lesson two.
Although the comparative scores in the two games surely cannot be considered a foolproof measure of the two Mid-West mighties, they'll have to decide the mythical national champion.
One thing is certain, though. Army is not the champ, and that must be pleasant relief to those who became tired of the Cadets' domination. The 21-0 victory over Navy ended the West Pointers, who didn't do so badly this year despite losses to Notre Dame and Columbia and ties with Penn, and Illinois.
S. M. U., the Cotton Bowl team, was involved in the biggest surprise of the past week-end. It took all of Doak Walker's brilliance to save the Mustangs from defeat, and as it was they got only a 19-19 tie with T. C. U. That spoiled their perfect record, and also the Cotton Bowl's hopes of being the only post-season classic between two major undefeated and untied teams. Penn State, champion of the East, is S. M. U.'s opponent for New Year's Day.
Georgia Tech upheld the Orange Bowl's faith by making one touchdown count for plenty in downing Georgia, 7 to 0. The Orange Bowl picked Tech Friday to meet Kansas despite the grave danger of an upset the following day. Kansas beat Arizona Saturday, 54 to 28.
Elsewhere in the South, Mississippi beat Mississippi State, 33-14; Tennessee upset Vanderbilt, 12-7; North Carolina downed Virginia, 40-7; Florida lashed Kansas State, 25-7; and North Carolina State played a scoreless tie with Maryland.
In the East, Jolly John "Ox" Dag Grosa was handed a pleasant farewell present from his Holy Cross team. Da Grosa had resigned effective after the game, and his boys upset Boston college, 20 to 6, to make him feel a little better.
In the Southwest, Oklahoma shaded the stubborn Oklahoma Aggies, 21 to 13; Rice downed Baylor, 34 to 6.
K-State Gives Up, Turns To Basketball
Manhattan — (UP) — With another dismal football season behind, Kansas State turns to basketball tonight, opening here against Rockhurst college of Kansas City.
The Wildcat Cagers have a 25- game schedule that includes Long Island, Texas Christian, and Indiana.
Coach Jack Gardner, who has been working his squad out for more than two weeks, said tonight's starters probably would be forwards Harold Howey and Rick Harman, guards Jack Dean and Howard Shannon and center Clarence Brannum.
