AP University of California athletic heads ducked into seclusion today as the zero hour neared for their announcement regarding the Rose Bowl football bid.

C. AT BOTTOM IN SATE RACE THOSE PITTSBURGH TONGUE-TWISTERS DUKE STADIUM, DURHAM, Nov. 27. After travelling six thousand miles this autumn to cover football games from the bushes to the major leagues, here I unpack the old faithful typewriter that spieled off strange sounding names in Scandinavian countries and as far into the provinces as Powdersville. But, it so happens the severest test of the sticky keyboard was to be precipitated by Pittsburgh's roster which has just been announced.

Good old cognomens that seemed more appropriate in a grand opera program than a list of All-American football candidates included such typetwisters as Ras-kowiski, Markovsky, Asavitch, Lezouski, Tezze, Naricm, Cassi, Souchak, Etze, Spotovich, Scarlpin, (not a piece of jewelry), Chickerneo and the one and only Marshall generally recognized as America's No. 1 back. Of course Duke had its Muelaner, Devolentine and even Brunansky, but I felt more at home with Eric Tipton and Elmore Hackney and Dan Hill, not to mention a few others. The subject. Qf nomenclaure is hastily dismissed to absorb the atmosphere of a great, colorful throng of spectators here to see the Duke Blue Devils "Wade" through Pitt if they can.

Overcast skies, which leaked intermittently during the morning, left no moisture on the arena which had been protected by a tarpaulin covering. Removal of the blanket opened the avenue for the North Carolina State, Duke and other bands to parade before game time. The conventional fanfare, not unlike that at the Furman-Clemson game, but more pretentious, kept the multitude mindful that one of the greatest final games of the wild and woozy football season was soon to be unfolded. NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT ON GAME FIFTY SCRIVENERS, from New York, Pittsburgh, and as far west as California joined the southern scribes to hammer out thousands of words which may carry little more weight than to load down telegraph wires. National spotlights were focused on this game which supposedly carried in the balance Pitts' chances of an invitation to the Rose or Sugar bowl.

A word shoved in edgewise with Coach Jock Sutherland of the Panthers elicited no response from Sutherland to indicate he at this time seriously considered a palm from Pasadena. "We'd appreciate the honor, of course," he said, "But that's not the paramount issue." If his players dreamed of another bowl bid it was not talked by them in their sleep, the genial Jock said. "We play the games as we come to them, and do our best in each assignment, that's all there is to it," he added. "By the way, how's things down at Hendersonville," the Pitt mentor asked, as if to veer the interview. Sutherland passed several weeks pleasantly at the mountain resort the past summer.

And it was just five months, when in Greenville, Sutherland said he couldn't understand then why his team was to be labelled the nation's No. 1 eleven before the first kickoff. "Yeah, I remember making that statement, and I'll still stick to it until after this ball game today. Yet, I hope I'm not immodest in saying I think our team is as good as the best in the country." CLIMAX TO GREAT GRID SEASON COACH WALLACE WADE, as usual, was reticent to make predictions. But, the talk here was that if Duke won it would be a masterpiece fashioned by Wallace, the wizard, who is known to be a master in campaigning for any one big game.

Each team had been thoroughly scouted all season, for the impression prevailed, until Duke lost to North Carolina, the Duke-Pittsburgh winner would likely be the team selected to represent the East in the Rose bowl. Well the Panthers and Blue Devils have bounded onto the field, and the last sixty minutes of my six thousand mile football perlgrinations are about to start. It's a wonderful climax to a season that has afforded your correspondent some of the greatest thrills In twenty-five years of covering football. nation. PAPA GOLDBERG THERE Marshall Goldberg, with Papa Goldberg in the crowded stands as his chief rooter, did not turn in a bad performance considering the slippery turf that sponged under a misty rain which fell intermittently soon after the opening kickoff.

Tho wiry, snake-hipped halfback gained 64 yards in 20 plays and lost 20 in four tries, but his touring was done deep In his backyard and without serious menance to the Blue Devils. The real misfortune was suffer times drove deep into scoring terrain only to be turned back by a determined line and pass defense, Georgia Tech had to capitalize on a Georgia fumble for its lone score. Oliver Hunnicutt fumbled and Georgia Tech again recovered on the 17. Some 14.000 Georgia partisans of a capacity crowd of 28,000 that jammed Grant field yelled for the Bulldogs to rise defensively. But the Engineers connected with one of their surprisingly few completed passes when Captain Fletcher Sims laid the ball into the hands of Dutch Konemann, who got to the one.

Sims then plunged over for the score, but his try for the point was blocked by Center Quinton Lumpkin. In the first period, Georgia Tech marched from the Georgia 43 to the 13 and there Sims' try for a field goal from the 21 missed badly. The Engineers came right back, but passes missed their target and Georgia took the ball at the nine. A FINAL THREAT In the fourth period, Georgia Tech behind the line kicking of Captain Sims kept Georgia on Its heels. On two occasions, the Engineers menaced the goal, moving once to the 26 and then to the 15, but the Georgia line would not give and Sims passes were batted down by the Georgia ball-hawkers.

The final threat came in the last minute and was killed by Vasso Cate's pass Interception on the Georgia 2. This was the fifth deadlock in the long series. Georgia has won 16 times, and Georgia Tech 11. The lineups: GEORGIA Pos. TECH Maffett LF, Morgan Davis LT Rimmer i SYRACUSE, N.

LOUIS, Nov. 27 Of) Appointment of Charles E. "Gabby" Street as Manager of the St. Louis Browns today left Babe Ruth again "on the outside looking In" as far as a major league baseball post for 1938 was concerned. RUTH OUT OF IT In naming Street to the only vacant Job in either league, President Donald L.

Barnes of the Browns disclosed he had given Ruth only passing consideration. The former home run king of the New York Yankees has been quoted as saying he would return to baseball only as a big-time manager. "We did not believe that a big name like Ruth's would do so much to rebuild the ball club," Barnes said. "And, after a time, the name would not have the drawing power without a club to back it up. Street, former manager of the National league St.

Louis Cardinals and of a number of the minor league clubs, was chosen by Barnes "because of his long experience and uniform success in baseball," especially his ability to develop young players. At his home In Joplin, Gabby waa optimistic about the future of the team that finished in the American league cellar this past season. NEED REPLACEMENTS "It's true that the Browns need some replacements but onhy in a few Instances," he said, "it isn't like starting a club all over but rather a ca.e of strengthenini; weak positions. The clJb is far from hopeless." The "Old Sarge," who led the Cardinals to two National league pennants and a world championship back in 1930 33, came to the Browns late last season as a coach under acting manager Jim Bottomley, who had just succeeded Rogers Hornsby. "Sunny Jim" was released last week.

Nov. 27 UP) South Carolina's 1937 gridiron campaign was a matter of history today with the punting and the passing and the plunging over for another year. Clemson's Tigers held the state championship, but it was an honor reluctantly yielded to them by Fur-nwn's fighting Purple Hurricane in their annual Thanksgiving day battle. BENGALS DEADLOCKED That game, with the Hurricane upsetting the dope for the third successive year by deadlocking the heavily-favored Bengals in a tic as surprising as it was scoreless, was a moral victory for Furman t-ecause it dashed its traditional rival's hopes of an unblemished Southern Conference record and a claim on the circuit title. The vaunted Clemson power had been expected to blast aside the Hurricane by several touchdowns, but it failed to dent the indomitable Furman defense when the goal line was near.

The Tigers had to be content with the state crown after a two-year Furman reign, U)ey failed to get revenge for those 1935 and 1338 defeats when they were the favorites. The mythical Palmetto championship went to Clemson, because although it suffered the one tie, it was the only team undefeated In state circles. The Tigers won two games, beating Presbyterian and the University of South Carolina. Citadel's Bulldogs, the surprise team of the year, finished second to Clemson with five wins and only one loss the latter to the Carolina Gamecocks.
