Late Touchdowns Add Excitement To Bowl Games
Touchdowns scored in the final minutes decided two of the annual New Year's day bowl games yesterday, and kept fans in the stands to watch the final scoring in the other three.
Two. Last Minute Victories
The most exciting finish of the day was Duke's thrilling victory over Alabama in the Sugar bowl. After Hugh Mcrow's 75 - yard touchdown runback of an intercepted pass, Duke drove to the 1-foot line where the Crimson Tide held. Giving them an intentional safety, the Alabamans kicked from their 20, but in two plays Duke had driven back to a touchdown, a minute of playing time remaining. On the last play of the game, the Crimson Tide completed a 35-yard pass, the receiver finally being stopped on the 25-yard-stripe.
Also winning by scoring with only two minutes to go, Bob Waterfield, U.CLA., put the West all-star team in front by 12 to 7. Big Jim Kekeris, all Big-Six tackle from Missouri, kicked the extra point to make the final score 13 to 7. Both of the West's touchdowns were made in the final period.
Three Other Late Scores
Southern California's touchdown on the last play of the Rose Bowl game made little difference as they overpowered unbeaten but onceied Tennessee 25 to 0. It was the Trojans eighth Rose bowl triumph. They have never been defeated in the Pasadena bowl.
Georgia Tech's last period score was rather futile as they were upset by Tulsa 26 to 12 in the Orange bowl in Miami. The Golden Hurricane gained revenge for last year's 20 to 18 defeat to the same Georgia Team. The score was a mild upset as the Engineers were slight pre-game favorites. The 8-year monopoly of the Southeastern conference in the bowl was broken by Fruka's fourth straight bowl team.
The Oklahoma Aggies easily overpowered Texas Christian to win the Cotton bowl game 34 to 0, also scoring a touchdown with two minutes to go. The Horned Frogs, weakened since the close of the season by transfers, lost to what is considered by many the best team in the Missouri valley area. The Aggies were led by all-American Bob Fenimore who scored two touchdowns, also passing and kicking brilliantly.

Jimmy Byrnes seems to be hot o' the trail of 4-F's. Along with his day-after-Christmas order banning horse and dog racing after tomorrow came the threat of action against 4-F's. Now this morning Byrnes makes the statement that all 4-F's will either be placed in limited service or in essential industry unless obviously unfit.
Whether college would be included in the essential class remains to be seen, but the indications would say no. Kansas' basketball team would be hurt by the loss of Moffett, Peck and Carlson, but it is doubtful if Congress can move swift enough to catch anyone before the close of basketball.
Would Hurt Next Year's Team
Would Hurt Next Year's Team Next fall's Jayhawk football team would be the first to feel the effects of the order. Several 4-F's played invaluable ball this year.
Such standouts as Moffett, all-Big Six quarterback; Long, second all-Big Six tackle; Hird, second team all-Big Six center; Chestnut, ace drop-kicker; and Sutherland, speedy wingback, were all either 4-F's or medical discharges last season.
Not Necessarily Army Material
Not necessarily Army Material Byrnes' statement was accompanied by a quotation that, "a man may have a trick knee, but if he can play football, the chances are that he can get along at Verdun or in Belgium." He, like other critics of civilian athletes, has missed one important point. The football trainer may spend a couple hours before each game taping up trick knees and use several bottles of liniment, rolls of tape, and other bracing devices.
The athlete then is able to play most of a 60-minute game, getting rest during each huddle, time out, and through substitutions. Armies do not have time outs or trainers for each platoon to keep the men fit.
Whether or not they can do the army any good thus remains to be seen. If they can, they certainly should have been in before. Baruch wanted them 16 months ago but Byrnes left them alone until after you Runstedt's drive seemed to make it necessary. If they can speed the victory and save more American lives, no one, even coaches who

One West Coast aircraft plant, immediately after the racing ban was announced, advertised for jockeys to work in small cubbyholes inside airplanes. After the thrill of racing horses for several years, life in a cramped position making airplanes would be dull indeed. It is doubtful whether they can get many to work. One jockey has gone to Mexico City to race, but most will follow the horses back to their farms, riding a little to keep the horses in condition until the ban is lifted.
All Teams Play Big Six Games

--conference fans should have a fair idea of what to expect in the coming race, keeping in mind, however, that anything can happen and often does in the Big Six. Oklahoma and Iowa State, co-champions last year, are both expected to be powers this season with Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Kansas State battling it out down the line for runner-up spots.

Extensive Practice Last Night
Coach "Phog" Allen put his charges through a long scrimmage last night in preparation for the invasion of Tigerland. At times the Jayhawks looked good but on the whole their play was very spotty. Owen Peen was at the quarterback slot last night with Kirk Scott and Herb Heim at guards, "Whitey" Carlson and Charles Moffett at forwards.
Dean Corder stood out on the blue team and will be tried out with the varsity this afternoon. The varsity and the reserves were very evenly matched, and several members of the blue team are pressing varsity men for their positions.
Winter Sports Club to Plan Flooding of Tennis Courts
Plans for immediate flooding of tennis courts on the campus for ice-skating will be discussed at the meeting of the Winter Sports Club tonight, reports Charles Kunzezi man, president. The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. in the Men's Lounge of the Union building.
Missouri Is the Favorite
"Doc". Allen definitely does not have a set five yet, and it is impossible to tell who may be playing on the starting quintet from one game to the next.
On the basis of their defeat of the Kansas five in Kansas City before Christmas, the Missouri team will no doubt be the favorites in the Friday clash, especially as the game is being played on the Tiger home court. Last year the Jayhawkers defeated the Tigers in Kansas City, only to lose two weeks later in Columbia.
This NEWS Will SURPRISE YOU!
"In this war the electric utility companies in the United States have produced six times the electricity that they did in the first World war.
"Since Pearl Harbor, the business-managed privately-operated electric light and power companies have turned into the United States Treasury the tremendous sum of $1,300,000,- 000 in taxes—and today are paying federal taxes at the rate of nearly $1,250,000 every twenty-four hours.
"And, on top of all this, these electric utility companies in the same months since Pearl Harbor have paid for the support of state, county and city governments another $700,- 000,000 and are today paying state and local taxes at the rate of $650,000 per day.
"This $1,900,000 a day now being paid in taxes is almost twice as much as the owners received in dividends or the employees received in salaries and wages."
This is an example of how one industry (privately-owned electric light and power companies) with good business management has met all wartime needs for electric power, without rate increases and at the same time paying the ever increasing taxes levied on private companies to support government. This is a concrete example of good business management and the Free Enterprise System.
