There is a growing suspicion that the UnivcrsiLy of Texas and the University Tennessee will engage in the lowest scoring game the Cotton Bowl has produced since that scoreless deadlock between representatives of (he same and LS in the 1947 game.

A defensive struggle will be nothing new to Gen. Bob Neyland's Tennessee Volunteers, who have not scored in their last two postseason tests, but it would be a drastic departure from the Longhorns' post season pattern. The last time Texas played in this Dallas classic it was a party to bowl scoring records with its 40-27 conquest of Missouri on Jan. 1, 1946. SWAMPED ALABAMA Two years later, after their first season under Blair Olierry.

the Longhorns led over Alabama, 27-7, in the Sugar Bowl, then the very next year they rewrote their previous post season scoring records by upsetting Georgia, 41-28, in the Orange Bowl. The Longhorns' most impotent offensive showing in bowl play was here in the Cotton Bowl in 1944, when Dana Bible's team was tied, 7-7, by Randolph Field. That is the only blot on the Longhorns' postseason record, which got its start a year earlier with a 14-7 victory ovcr Georgia Tech in the Cotton legc over Bowl. College. eleven.

Cotton Bowl at Dallas: Texas over Tennessee. With Townsend in the backfield and McFadin on the line the Texas team is at least the equal of any team in the country. In addition, Die Longhorns will be playing before the home- folks. Orange Bowl at Miami: Clemson over Miami. Gator Bowl at Jacksonville: Wyoming over Washington Lee.

Bob Tarlctou, former president of the San Antonio Missions of the Texas League, has inquired into the local haseball situation and plans to come to Paris within, the near future to look things over. Tarlclun would prefer to operate a Paris team in the Gig State League but would be interested in an East Texas League' franchise Johnny Taylor, Paris Junior College's two-year all-conference guard, is seeing considerable action as a varsity sub for Texas Christian's Horned Frogs.

Nor would Willett give any inkling ot the nature of the purported abuses. But the sanity code deals with subsidization of athletes and presumably this Issue Is paramount in the caises Involved. Whether-the group Includes any of the "seven sinners" named at the NCAA ccjaventlon In New York last year was also left unanswered.

The six have been cited, however and iheir names will come up in fluor discussions over possible punishment at the corning Dallas session. There may be strong agilaliou for revision of the code, however, and if some of the proposals were adopted, ihe suspensions would bt automatically ended before they went in-to effect.
