UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1947
BY COOPER ROLLOW Daily Kansas Sports Reporter
The hectic scramble to line up teams for post-season bowl games has begun, and a United Press survey reveals that a record number of 22 contests will be on tap from Dec. 6 through New Year's Day.
Virtually all the bowls which operated last year will be at it again, with three new bowls ready to make their post-eason debuts. New Year's Day battles will be held this year for the first time at Cleveland, Memphis, and Birmingham.
As usual, the "big" bowls are attracting the most attention. The top teams of the nation usually make their way to the Rose at Pasadena, the sugar at New Orleans, the Orange at Miami, and the Cotton at Dallas. But this year a bevy of major teams will probably receive bids from promoters elsewhere.
Kansas is under consideration as a 'Gator Bowl contest according to J. B. Darby, Chairman of the Selection Committee for the Jacksonville, Fla., bowl. Darby said recently that the committee wanted a Southeastern conference team such as Alabama, Vanderbilt, or Mississippi State to meet a team chosen from a list which includes Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, or Virginia.
Of course, the bowl set-ups will probably change as the season progresses and inevitable upsets disrupt the football picture. The final bowl listings will not be made public for several weeks, and during this time Kansas and other Big Six teams will be under constant surveillance by bowl promoters.

Get your parlay cards ready.It's Friday, and time for another "pick-em and pray" session. Here's the way the football picture shapes up this weekend:
KANSAS OVER NEBRASKA—for the first time at Lincoln since 1916. The Cornhuskers may have the triple advantage of underdog spirit, a 31-year jinx, and a home game, but those benefits won't be enough to halt the Jayhawkers' title drive.
OKLAHOMA OVER KANSAS STATE—It will take Sam Francis at least two more years to pull the Wildcats up from their habitual rung at the bottom of the Big Six football ladder. That is, if he sticks around that long.
NOTRE DAME OVER ARMY—Frank Leahy has waited four long years for this one. He won't be disappointed.
MISSOURI OVER DUKE—just because they're from the Big Six, we'll stick by the Tigers. The Missouri showing against Nebraska last weekend proved that the Faurot men are not to be underestimated.
MICHIGAN OVER INDIANA—The Wolverines in general and Chappuis in particular should be too much for the Hoosiers to handle.
SOUTHERN CAL OVER STAN-
FORD—Any bets?
NORTH CAR. OVER NORTH
CAR. STATE—One thing is certain:
Caroline can't lose.
RUST OVER OKOLONA—The Society Editor hasn't missed yet.
TEXAS OVER BALOR-strolling down touchdown Lave.
CALIFORNIA OVER WASHINGTON—The Bears are good and mad. They don't intend to lose again this season.
PENN OVER VIRGINIA—just because the bookies say so. It looks like a tosse-up from here.
Irish-Cadet Game Tomorrow Will End 34-Year Tradition
New York—(UP)—Army and Notre Dame, which began their sparkling football series by sheer accident 34 years ago, close it on a note of vengeance at South Bend, Ind., tomorrow with the unbeaten Irish favored by 18 points.
It stands as the game of the week even above the intersectional duels (5, 0)
It stands as the game of the wee between Pennsylvania (5-0) and Virginia (6-0), George Tech (6-0) and Navy (1-4-1) as well as critical conferences tests for Michigan, Southern Methodist and Kansas.
The matter of vengeance in the Army-Notre Dame game rests with the Irish (5-0) as a result of 59 to 0 and 48 to 0 loyalties by army's wartime elevenes of 1944-45 and possibly for the abrupt termination of the series which had become a frenzied peacetime institution in New York's Yankee stadium. Soft Soff'r' Foe Army
The fact that Army (4-1-1) has been beaten by Columbia and tied by Illinois removes little of the luster from the final game of the series that opened in 1913 when a cadet manager, seeking a soft touch from the Mid-West, invited "little Notre Dame" to fill an open date on army's schedule.
A forward passing combination of Gus Dorais to Knute Rockne shattered Army that year and Notre Dame went on to win 22 games, while tying four and losing only seven.
Headlining the remainder of al
