Big Bowl Games To Take Spotlight New Year's Day
Football's big day, Jan. 1, will decide between Southern California and Tennessee in the Rose bowl, Duke and Alabama in the Sugar bowl, Tulsa and Georgia Tech in the Orange bowl, and Oklahoma A. and M. and Texas Christian in the Cotton bowl. Also among the number one contests of the day will be the East-West game in San Francisco.
In the Orange bowl, it will be a return engagement for Tulsa and Georgia Tech. The Miami backers are the only ones ever to schedule the same combination twice in a row. Tulsa and Georgia Tech were both beaten twice this season.
Aggies in Dallas
At Dallas, the Oklahoma Aggies were the first to arrive yesterday for pre-game workouts in the Cotton bowl. The Aggies were beaten only once, by the Norman, Oklahoma Navy Zoomers. The Cotton bowl officials point to yardage figures to support their contention that the day's stars will be playing in Dallas.
Both Tennessee and Southern California have lost one game and tied one in the regular season. The Trojans were tied by U.C.L.A., but in a return game defeated the Bruins. Tennessee is rated by the experts as "untried" and usually predicted less powerful than their Rose bowl opponents.
Keskeris to Be in Frisco Game
Reskerns to be in Pfisco Clark
In the Sugar bowl, George Clark,
Duke running back, is expected to
star. The records show long runs by
him in Duke's games against Wake
Forest, North Carolina Pre-flight,
and Georgia Tech.
Missouri's Jim Keckeris, the secret weapon in the Missouri-Kansas game, is expected to count heavily for the East in the San Francisco game.
Three other bowl games, the Oil bowl at Houston, Texas, the Iron bowl at Birmingham, Ala., and the Sun bowl at El Paso, Texas, will round out the New Year's day program.

One of the jurist's caps is entirely black, and the other has a simple decoration of white braid around the top and bottom. Prof. W. L. Burdick believes that the cap with the braid is one which was worn by the presiding judge. Both hats are more or less three-cornered.
According to Major Immel, former secretary to ex-Governor Payne Ratner, German courts contain no reference books. The accused is dealt with according to the administrator's memory.

Sportorials By EARL BARNEY, KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
In the same hurriedly drawn breath we wish to thank all K. U. sports fans for their loyal cooperation during the past 12 trying months of war-time athletics, and to announce that next Monday's Kanan sport page (and all lothers this semester) will be edited by Jim Mordy, new Kanan sport seditor. It is probably fitting to conclude our term with a forecast or two, smiling over the thought that we do not have to explain our way out of the results! And logically enough, that forecast concerns the five major bowl games to be played on New Year's day. So...we're off!
The Oklahoma A. & M. T. C. U. Cotton Bowl battle seems to be the most one-sided of the frays. Having seen the Horned Frogs in action early this season, and having watched a fine Oklahoma eleven perform that was overwhelmed by the powerful Cowboy team, we will certainly string along with the Aggies from Oklahoma on this one... Another easy one appears to be an East victory in the annual Shrine bowl game in San Francisco. The eastern squad is dotted with more stars than there are in the Milky Way, and should have little trouble overpowering the smaller West team... The world famous Rose Bowl contest looms as a shoo-in for the Southern California Trojans as time draws ever shorter. The Southern Cal.-Tennessee fray may turn into one of the best of New Year's day battles, but the Vols really haven't been severely tested this year. We cannot forget that the Trojans never have been beaten in a Rose Bowl affair. The Orange Bowl battle between Tulsa and Duke is the first potential toss-up on the schedule. The Golden Hurricanes are at present on the short end of the betting odds, and though the Engineers are at their best in post season games,
we will cast our lot with the Tulsans, probably on their superior offensive play. Our final selection is even more difficult than we had thought at first. The Duke-Alabama fray is truly a toss-up in every sense of the word. Any choice in the winner of this contest will probably be based on personal preference, and our hopes have always ridden with the Crimson Tide.
By the way did any one notice that two of the bowl teams were K. U. opponents early in the season? We are speaking of Texas Christian and Tulsa. Incidentally, the Jayhawkers played undoubtedly their best two games of the season against these elevens. The 7-0 victory which the Horned Frogs eked out at Saturday night in Kansas City would give the Jayhawks credit for being a powerful early se son eleven...

a powerful early season.
"Phog" Allen is both elated and disgusted with the performances of his young Jayhawkers in nightly basketball practices. When the lads are playing in intra-squad games, they perform like seasoned veterans, committing very few blunders of any sort. But put them on a court, and they run over the boards like a bunch of junior high lads. All that keeps the Hawks from becoming a championship team this winter, then is inexperience. It isn't the caliber of the men, but their sudden shifting to a league in which they never have played before. But Allen still looks into the future with the same pessimism that he has shown on almost every occasion this season.
If only for the books, here is our prediction as to how the Big Six will be stacked when the fireworks cease this March: Oklahoma to win 8; Iowa State—6; Kansas and Missouri—5 each; Kansas State—4; and Nebraska—2. Take it or leave it, there it is...
Although it was not strictly a campus event D-Day was an important day at K, U. On June 6 the Allies landed on the Normandy beach of France. Whistles blowing, radios blaring, and newsboys yelling the news, awakened students and peoplewell in the early morning. The AST trainees held a special retreat formation on the parade ground east of Lindley hall that evening.

Seahawks to Meet Iowa State Cagers On Cyclones' Court
For the Cyclones, tonight's game will be the last of a strenuous pre-conference schedule, with Kansas State scheduled to play here Jan. 3.
Ames, Iowa, Dec. 29—Following a two-day layoff, the Iowa State College Cyclones reported back for a hard work-out last night, in preparation for Iowa pre-flight. The Seahawks come to Ames tonight for the return tilt of a two-game series.
Four civilians, Orlyn Feuerbach, Bob Petersen, Dana Omer, and Gene Phelps have returned from the holiday vacations early to prepare for tonight's tussle. Equad members of the Navy V-12 had only a two-day lay-off over Christmas.
lay on.
Iowa State has won one and lost two so far this season. After opening against Minnesota with a 42-41 victory, the Cyclones lost to the Seahawks, 49 to 39, and to Drake, 42 to 35. On the other hand, pre-flight has dropped one game in eight starts and that at the hand of Wisconsin university. Even in that game, however, the Seahawks were out in front with a 5-point lead with only 6 minutes of the ball game left to play.
play.
No radical changes are contemplated in the Cyclone line-up for tonight's game. Coach Louis Menze will again start Myers and Feuerbach at forwards and Petersen and Block at guards. The pivot position is still a toss-up with Bill Bailey, who has started the first three games for the Cyclones, battling it out with Bob Mott and Sam Deal.
During the past week, Menze has been concentrating on defensive play. It was that department of the game that broke down for the Cyclones in the last two games.
