10 SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 1933. GRID SEASON MOST EXCITING ON RECORD Stanford Promises to Name Its Rose Bowl Rival Monday TIGERS SOLE MAJOR WITH CLEAN SLATE Pow'er, Versatility Mark Tribune's All-Rocky Mountain Conference Eleven Defeat of Army, Duke Puts. Climax to Year Full of Surprises By HKRBERT KARKER NEW YORK, Dec. 5 wa.s "curtains" for football today after perhaps the most exciting campaign on Record. Sectional championships except in the southwest had beiMi decided definitely, but the mythical national throne seemed fated to go tor a generally recognized occupant.

The overturning of both Army and Duke in yesterday's smash Ing finnle left H. O. (Fritz) CbrLslcr's, rejuvenated Princeton Tigers the country's only major undefeated and untied team and with as good a claim KE any to national honors. Yet Princeton's schedule, almost exclusively an all-eastern one, operates to the Tigers' disadvantage In national title argument. Could Princeton athletic authorities be persuaded to accept a bid to the Rose bowl, assuming one were extended, the Tigers might be able to prove conclusively their right to the throne in a hand-to-hand tussle Stan- lord on New Year's day.

Any possibility of such a meeting, however, seems to have vanished with the announcement of the Princeton board of athletic control last week that the Tiger policy against postseason games still stood. Sophs Come Through The Tigers, with sophomores manning most of the posts, climaxed their first undefeated and untied season since 1922 by trouncing the Eli.s of Yale at New Haven, 27-2, and gaining adequate revenge for the 51-14 lacing they rook two years ago. Meanwhile, Army's hopes of its first perfect season in 17 years crashed in the turf of the Yankee stadium, where a crowd of 76,000 saw Notre Dame climax a disastrous campaign with a spectacular fourth-period assault that beat the cadets, 13-12. Wallace Wade's Blue Devils of Duke, at the same time, likewise were forced to accept their first defeat as Georgia Tech fought its way to a 0-0 verdict at Atlanta. Otherwise, the closing program was marked especially by Southern California's rout of Georgia at Los Angeles, 31-0.

Georgia put up a fight in the first half, but the Trojans wore them down steadily thereafter scored almost as they pleased. S. U.Tie Louisiana State's hope of sharing the Southeastern conference lead with Alabama went by the boards at New Orleans when the Tigers could get no better-than a 7-7 draw with Tulane. Mississippi routed its rival, Mississippi State, 31-0, In another conference struggle, while South Caro Una of the Southern conference was spilling Auburn of the Southeastern In an upset, 16-14. Florida avenged that defeat by turning back Mary land, 19-0.

Texas Christian and Baylor wound up the Southwest season with victories over Southern Methodist, 2G to 6, and Rice, 7-6, respectively, but the conference championship still remained In question pending decision whether Arkansas, the actual winner, should be penalized for playing an Ineligible msn. The championship winners of the other eight major groups or conferences follow: (best record).

I 10 Utes, Colorado Ags Each Gain Three Honor Spots Davies, Savich, Ostler, Win Places; Wilson Rated Season's Outstanding- Performer By BOB GOODELL Every factor of football skill is represented on The Tribune's all-Rocky Mountain conference eleven for 1933. A heavy but fast line, whose members have exceptional offensive skill as well as defensive strength, and a speedy, ruggec backfield, with remarkable ability in every phase of the game stamps the honor team as one which would make up a truly grea aggregation in anybody's Utah and Colorado Aggies eachl placed three men on the all-star llliO with Utah Aggies awarded two positions, and Denver, B. Y. U. and Colo-j rado U.

getting one each. Outstanding performers on the first! eleven are Pete Wilson, B. Y. U. halfback; Hack Davies, Utah end, and Ed Barton, Denver guard.

These three men won wide favor from every critic arid from every opposing team, Wilson stamping himself as the greatest individual performer of the conference. Gains Against 'Em All This Cougar ace made consistent gains against every team B. Y. U. played, with no effective interference provided against such teams as Utnh.

Denver and Utah Aggies. Against the San Diego marines, a strong Pacific coast team, Wilson made more ground than any man on the field, as was his custom in practically every R. M. C. game.

His punting was consistently brilliant, NEW YORK, Deo. Herald-Tribune tonight says lias learned Columbia university's foolliall eleven hail licen iiv- vitcd to play Stanford in (he Ro.sc Bowl game at Fasndcna New Year's day. PASADENA, Dec. 3 the football world will be turned Pasadena Monday to leai'n, after week of which one of a ialf dozen victorious gridiron teams the United States will be extended invitation to play Stanford in the Rose bowl here New Year's day. Al Master.s, graduate manager of tanford university, i.s due to make he momentous announcement some ime Monday in the event his nego- iations, started last week, were irought to a successful conclusion.

Stanford officials and the Rose ournament committee remained si- ent. It was learned, however, that lal C. Reynolds, member of the Rose ournameni football committee, was New York last Saturday night. It vas- thought he was handling nego- lations there for Stanford. This would mean any one of several earns, including Army, defeated Saturday by Notre Dame; Princeton, which 'Stanford followers hoped might be made to change its mind and accept after all, or possibly Co- vimbia, beaten 20 to 0 by Princeton, may be extended the invitation.

It was hard to determine whether his indicated that Nebraska, victor over Oregon State by a decisive score but beaten by Pittsburgh and and tied by Minnesota, were out of the running. Dana X. Bible, Nebraska coach, was believed to be in ew York. It was understood, unofficially, that still was a chance of getting that Army would be liked despite its defeat; that Michigan might be had if properly approached; hat Nebraska and Columbia were jeing considered, should the negotia- fall through, and that Duke was definitely out of the picture since its defeat by Georgia Tech. OF BURGLAR'S PISTOL BALL TORONTO, Ont, Dec.

Johnny Copp, University of Toronto football player, died in a hospital today from bullet wounds received when he grappled with a burglar outside his father's home Thursday night. The thief escaped. and he wn.s a very fair passer as well. Wilbur White of Colorado Aggies easily gets the nomination as his running mate at halfback. White was the spearhead of the Farmer' attack all season long.

An exceptional passer, he was a fine ball carrier and punter as well. George Grosvenor, Colorado U. star, draws the quarterback assignment. Another triple threat man, he almost beat Utah by the individual brilliance of his performance here, as well as doing splendid work elsewhere. Superiority on offense gives him an edge over Dammann of Colorado AR- gies, a crafty field general and excellent blocker.

At fullback, the frequently underrated Ralph Maag of the Colorado Aggies is given the call. Constantly backing up the line, Maag was superb defensive player and the best blocker on the Farmer team. He would be an ideal mate for Wilson. Marines; Snare President's Cup SAN DIEGO, Dec. The west coast navy retained the president's cup, emblematic of the national service football championship, here this afternoon a 14 to 7 victory over the San Diego marines.

At the close of the game, Admiral Joseph M. Reeves, commanding the battle force, United States fleet, presented the president's cup, offered in 1924 by President Calvin Coolidge for the national service championship to the all-battle force team, congratulating both squads. A football, autographed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, went with the award. The game, the climax of the football season, marked the first time the president's cup has been formally awarded in the wesl, previous games having been played in Washington, D.
