Conservative observers gave the big Bruins a slight edge in game to be witnessed by nearlv 90.003. But more etnhusiabllc bucr-ra picked the Bruins to win in explosive fashion In this, the Inaugural Ros bowl encounter of the five-year pact between the two conferences.

Both squads were In splendid physical condition. There should be no alibi for either In this respect. The same appeared to be true as far as the mental attitude of the two teams, although there have been whispers that Ray Eliot, coach of the visitors, had his troubles in this line. Dismissal of two players from the squad for cunew violation as taken as unusually stern action end possibly as a warning to other squd-men. One thing seemed certain.

Eddie Lynch, hard-hitting Mansfield lightweight with an impressive string of ring victories, has been matched against Mickey Head, a topflight Louisiana amateur boxer and trainer of the visiting Monroe team. A one-time Golden Gloves champ on the West Coast, Lynch Is a fast-moving, clever boxer who pack a good wallop In either hand. The local scrappers defeated the Monroe team the last time the squads met in an inter-clty match here, but the visitors are reported In top shape and ready to square accounts In Friday's go around. With most of their "best boxer appearing on the card, the Optimist club, sponsors of the matches, will have a hard time headlining any single bout. Both Al Quinn.

the Sa-repta battler who has shown plenty of hustle in previous bouts here, and Tommy Beasley. Bossier City lightweight with over two score ring victories to his credit, are scheduled to see action. Quinn, a 145-pounder, is matched against Joe Battaglia of Monroe, and Beasley opposes Calvin Bowie In a return match.
