(Associated Press Photos) Anti'Olympic Group Lays Plans For Counter Attack United Press Sports Writers Debate On Probable Outcome Of Rose Bowl Contest Passer i I Says Wet Weather Won't Bother Mustangs Much LOS ANGELES, Dec. -80. (UP) Buckets of liquid sunshine were pouring from California's famous skie8 yesterday, which seemed to make It a propitious time to find out how the long-haired lads from Texas will do If it rains In the Rose Bowl New Year's Day. Bob Finley, a tail young man shaped like a wedge, who will do most of the ball throwing for the Jaunty Southern Methodist flea clr-cua when It engages Stanford, ambled out on the sun-porch of the Vista Del Arroyo hotel to get a load of the "low fog." "I don't reckon It will bother us much." Finley mumbled rubbing some late afternoon dew between thumb and forefinger. "It rains in Texas Finley is Questioned Finley wns asked what he would do about ball throwlnk a Southern Methodist specialty In case the skien should oo.e more unusunl weather during or Just prior to next Wednesday's matinee.

"We'll run. pass and kick," said the loquadkous Finley. "We always do that." To Illustrate his point. Finley pulled some yellow dust, which he said was resin, out of his pocket and rubbed It on his pants leg. It didn't do the pants leg anv good, but he said It was good stuff for the hands when throwing a wet ball.

"We heat Hardin-Simmons in the rain." the lanky Texan said. "I averaged fiO.l yards kicking against Texan Aagles In our Inst gnme and it was wet. i kicked 65 ynrds against Hnrdln-Simmons. too. I guess I'm luckv tn the rain" Coach Matty Bell, shrewd, hard-eyed and full of business, confirmed this rumor.

"Finley will be our only Important change In the llneun If It rains." he said. "We'll keep him In as long as he lasts In that case. Rain mav make It a bit. more difficult, hut will ha as had for Stanford as It will be for us." Finley halls from Corstenna. also the home town of Bobby Wilson, pony hairback of the Mustangs herd.

If Stanford were such stickers for parses, would seem logical thnt by now const teams would have found It out and passed them ragged. As it was, only two touchdowns were scored on the Cardinals this acs.ion by U. C. L. A.

and Santa Cl.ira and both of them were over the ground. Stnnford has the edge on straight-ahead, power football. Bobby Orayson Is one of the greatest line plungers In the country. Bob Hamilton Is a demon blocker and cuts huge holes In opposition Unea for Orayson to dart through. Moscrip's field rronls, which won three games, will aid the Cardinal attack.

And In Jimmy Coffin, Stnnford has a buck who should be able to match S. M. elusive Bobbv Wilson. Defensively, Stanford Is the strong, er. It has a giant line which held seven mnjor opponents to 13 points and fifll ynrds.

Offensively. Stnnford rolled up 1.4 SO vat da on the ground. Will Strike F.nrly Stnnford will strike in the first period and then play Inspired football to protect that margin with one of the bitterest defensive fights ever seen In the Psandena bowl. S. M.

U. will have many scoring opp. rtunltles but never will be able to smash through thnt rugged red line. The long-haired Texnns, playing before the biggest crowd In their lives half as many as they played to all senson will be scared stlfi when they move onto the field. And before they find themselves, Stanford will have the game wrapped tip and rendy for delivery to Palo Alto.

Tilt At Pasadena Weather Men Forecast 'Unset tied Conditions' Tomorrow GRAYSON WILL PLAY Mustangs Arise Early And Hold Secret Morning Workout Bv PA IX ZIMMKHMAN i (Associated Press sports Writer) PASADENA. Dec. 30. (AP) Southern and Stanford football kept a weather eye on the skies today. There was threat of rain in the air for their intersectional grid clash at the Rose Bowl New Year's Day.

While meteorologists were not prepared to say what would happen on Jan. 1, they forecast rain for tonight or tomorrow and unsettled conditions the next day. Thrown Into Turmuil Possibility of a soggy field and, In the California parlanoe, "slight precipitation," had a tendency to throw the whole Rose tournament game setup Into a slight turmoil. mere was cons mi emit ie Jecture as to how a slow tield w.s: and "liquid sunshine" would ar-feet the two teams, and even more consternation urn one ticket scalpers who had hoped to clean t' up on the ducat murket tomur- row and Wednesday. General opinion prevailed that Stanford, with its ponderous line and a team of 11 pounds to the man -heavier than the Mustangs, would gain the advantage In case of rain since Coach Matty Bell's team depends on passes and fast breaking running plays.

On the other hand, the Invading Texana thoroughly demonstrated this season, especially In their came -With Texas A. siid that they could throw passes In th rain and that Bobby Wilson, star halfback, also could run on a slow, slippery field. Stanford's team never has been classed as a mudder. It lost to Columbia on a wet field here two years ago as the moat outstanding example of Its reaction on a soggy turf. Eight players on that team are back In the Home Bowl this time, Including Bobby Gray sun.

I Columbia Turned Trick I Tet the fact remained that Colum-' Mb, outweighed almost as much as Southern Methodist will be, scored only touchdown of the encounter Followers of the western represen-. tattve were cheered with the news today that Orayson, despite a slight cold which kept him confined to the hotel yesterday, definitely would be ready to play. Almost all trace of his ailment had vanished when he worked out with the squad at Brookalde Park this afternoon. Coach Claude (Tiny) Thorn hi gave the Indiana their last serious workout, including aa of days a lot of passing, with Orayson and BUI Paulman doing the throwing.

James rtioscrip, run, whose condition has been a question since the team's arrival, showed up to better form and there was every Indication he would start the game with his Injured left knee In a brace. In a sudden switch of plana, the Mustangs arose early today and took a secret morning workout at Occidental college which lasted two hours. Cloaked In Mecrecy While the activities of the 8. U. squad wa cloaked In mystory, It was understood Coach Bell drilled them for two hours, with an hour and a half of dummy scrimmage on defense and offense.

Included the offensive workout was a great deal of pass throwing. Southern Methodist will drill only ngnuy tomorrow, in tne Koae Bowl. Stan ford, does not propose to set foot on the turf where the game will be played until New Year's afternoon. The plans are for a light final workout at Brookalde Park tomorrow.

30.f (AP) Rainy weatherjj looming for the East-West football game here New Year' Day, will aid the eastern cause, in the opinion of Coach Andy Kerr. The little mentor from Colgate, who has helped coach eastern squads for several years, dropped his customary cautiousness today to exclaim: "We'll give It to them If it rains. It won '6 affect the eastern boys who are used, to playing in all kinds of on the western tdc of the picture, Coaches Percy Locey and Orln llulllntierry were worried over the possibility or a storm approaching from the northwest might reach here time to wet down the eleventh annual classic. Hope For Dry Held "Naturally we hope for a dry field for our speedy backfleld men" Locey said. Both squads went through light afternoon workouts with the sessions devotea largely to signal drills and field goal kicking.

Five eastern stars demonstrated the matter of making points from kicks should not he an acute problem. Those who may be called upon to try to toe the oval through the up rights are Riley Smith, of Alabama: Dick Crayne, Iowa; Dick Heekin, Ohio State; Sheldon Belse, Minesota, all backfleld men: and Joe Stydaker. of West Virginia, a tackle. Smith Is ths long range marksman, booting them irequenuy irom tne u-yara line.

Th most recent starting team possibility saw Wallace at righ half and Lam at left half.

Benny Leonard To rr iiid iviviui NEW YORK, Dec. 30. (UP) Benny American Olympic Committee Receives Resignations Of Four By BOH CAVAONAHO Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK. Dec. 30.

(VP) While the American Olympic committee is undergoing a "house cleaning" to rid the organisation of any members not in full sympathy with American participation In the 1036 games at Berlin, a new counter movement to keep Uncle Sam's athletes out of the International sports carnival was started today. Kecelre Four Resignations Four resignations from the A. O. C. already have been received and accepted.

They were from Jeremiah T. Mnhoney, former president of the Amateur Athletic union and leader of an unsuccessful fight to boycott the games at the recent A. A. U. convention; Louis D.

Benedetto, of New Orleans; Charlotte Epstein and Henry Hcnshel, of New York. Upon the recommendation of Avery Brundage, president of the Olympic committee and of the A. A. a letter will be sent to Olympic committee members asking those not fully in accord with American participation to signify by tendering their resignations. 'Only those four resignations have been received to date." said Frederick W.

Rublen, secretary of the committee. "There are only a few "oppositionists left. They include Charlea Ornateln, of New York, and William P. Kenney, of Boston. Ken-ney Is chairman of the boxing committee." Fresh Campaign Planned Ornsteln, a vigorous boycott advocate, told the Associated Press he hasn't decided whether to resign, and revealed that shortly after the first of the year a new national movement will launch a fresh campaign to keep America from being represented at Berltn next summer.

"We haven't done anything officially alnce the A. A. U. convention." Ornatein asserted, "but different groups throughout the country are sounding out sentiment and getting suggestions for a new plan of attack on American participation. I imagine It will get under way in a couple of weeks." Alama Downs Opens Meeting Wednesday SAN ANTONIO.

Dec. 30. (UP) The World Almanac nays Its 1,459 miles from Los Angeles to Dalln too far for any of Southern Methodist's football players to walk but that's what all 31 of them may have to do if Stanford wins the Rone Bowl gnme. Even if they should hot-foot It back aa far as El Paso, there might be a vigil ante committee waiting to Inform them that the Lone star state had disowned them.

That's how seriously Texans take their football. So I predict S. M. V. will bent Stanford New Year's Day and ride back home In the style of kings and conquerors.

Mental attitude will decide the game that's what a lot of couches here for the American Football Coaches' convention believed and picked Stanford. "Stanford lost twice, It won't lose a third time," was the trend of thought of those coachei favoring tho far westerners. Indian Are t'nfnrtunntf was unfortunate for Stanford's hard-luck seniors to draw 8. M. (J.

for the flnnl game of their collegiate careers. They deserved a better break, but the guy who has been dealing Rose Bowl to Stanford the past two years stack rd the cards on the Cardinals for the third straight time. It appear to some that Stanford has the psychological ecine. but the opposite is true. All Coach Matty Bell will have to do when he semis the Mustang out to battle In the Arroyo Seco Nw Ycnr's afternoon is name his starting line-up.

"Piny your game." that's all he'll need to say. And chancre are that will be his speech, or one Just as short. The playr-rs won't have to tnke any vows, go through any rltunla with the left hind lug of a rabbit killed nt midnight in a graveyard, or listen to any impassioned plens about, "this Is tho chance you've waited for Every a. M. O.

player will give himself his own pep talk. Each player will enter the game with the same spirit that his forefather demonstrated at Sun Jacinto and at The Alamo The Texana are country bnya and they know there's a lot of difference In going back to the little hnmleis they hull from such as Coraicana, Tyler, Hlllsboro, and being aked: "Say, Bobby how did they atop you?" or "say. Bobby toll ua how you got away from Moserip." Dream Of Lifetime You get the general Idea If you hall from a country town. A Rone Bowl game to a country boy Is the dream of a lifetime. The Stanford boys almost have an option on the place.

If they thought It would be glorious to win a Rose Bowl gnme. they would have won one already from Columbia or Alabama. The last chance for Stanford's sen iors doesn't mean a thing. S. has 17 am I or and every one will be twice as Hnxlous to win because noth ing so wonderful ever happened before in their young Uvea.

tor in another Stanford defeat The Cardinals will have their defense moulded to atop s. M. passes. If they don't do anything cIm. Stanford will make certain they will break up the MwstaiiftV aerials.

Thcv probably will, but while they're doing it 8. U. will rip the Stanford line to plecea. That will be the big surprise New Year's Dny. Then when Stanford, a team which Cnn't meet nn emcri(ency, has to ha its tactic, to t.

30. (UP) Stanford ia due to win one Roaa Bowl gnme because the red-Jersled team which bowed to Alabama nnd Columbia in the Isst two Paa.idcna classics will go Into this week's battle ngnlnst Southern Methodist with a weapon It apparently didn't possess before fighting spirit. Stanford Is a better team than generally Is believed. As a cocky ouuch of sophomores, the Cardinals were hailed as a potentially great team until they lost the Rone Bowl game to an Inspired Columbia eleven. That defeat aeemed to take something from Stanford which It didn't get back until thta season when the going been me tough.

Lacked Spirit In In 1934. Stnnford won all Its coast assignments except a tie with Santa Clnra. I saw all those Rnmea and watched a tenm that played perfect football, mechanically speaking. But a certain spirit wss lacking because Stnnford won those battles too routinely. Against AlAhama, the Csr-clinsls seemed to find themselves when they took a touchdown lead In the first period.

But they wilted when Alabama cut loose with 22 points in the next session. This season Stanford, shot with Injuries, had to fight for the first time In three years to get the bowl bid. It came back after the U. C. A.

defeat nnd whipped previously tin bent-en California. That certain spirit was with Stanford all season nnd the urge to win. plus Its all-aroun(t attack and defense, will provide the margin of victory ngnlnst S. M. 0.

Stanford la fiithtlng mad because of the long odds favoring S. M. U. The sophomores of 1033 are going to shoot the works to win thrlr last bowl assignment. And Stnnfotd In In the snme spot to score an upset which Columbia wns In 10,14, because experts slmost unsnlmmislv give the constant little or no chance.

Most of, this sentiment has been built around the Texana' famed aerial stuck. Stnnford sppeared weak against Alnbama'a passes but since has lenrned. In the Inst bowl game. Don Hutson, Ainbnma end, played phenomenal football, eatcnlng numerous difficult onuses. Hutson since has proved himself a great receiver by developing into one of the best ever seen In the National Football Irague.

Agnlnst a mnn like thnt even Stanford couldn't stop an aerial attack. Perrect Aerial Defence Nevertheless, the Cardinals have concentrated on aerial defense. In the Ainbnma game.
