A Joint announcement of the selection was made late today by C. R. (Dudy) Noble. Mississippi State Ath letic director, and Dr. Fred T.

Mitchell, college president. The resignation of Morton was an-, nounced today from Lexington by Frank L. Summers. VMI director of athletics. Morton, popularly known as "slick" ucceeds Allyn McKeen who resigned after a season In which his team didn't do well, losing to Its ancient rival, University of Mississippi.

Morton Is a graduate of Louisiana State university and was an outstanding back at LSU for three years. He was reported In Mississippi today en route to the New Orlesns Sugar Bowl football game tomorrow. The new state college mentor has the reputation of developing some of the finest passing and running teams In the South. He will report for duty at Mississippi State college within 10 day, noble said. In Mortona first coaching Job he turned out a championship team at St.

Stanislaus academy. Bay St. Louis, Miss. From there he went to Boga-lusa, for a coaching Job and made a good record later as a back-field coach at Louisiana State. Morton will announce his assistants at State college later.

This year Morton had the best team In recent years at VMI. He used the formation In developing his team. The new head coach la married and has two children. Morton phoned V.M.I, athletic director, Frank Summers from Baton Rouge this morning and asked to be relsed from his contract to accept the Mississippi State Job. Summers said Morton was granted his release In the face of a much better contract V.M.I, authorities were prepared to give him.

Presumably this meant a boost In pay. Summers said cadets and alumni alike will regret losing the popular T-for-matlon mentor, who turned a so-so 1947 club Into a scrappy outfit that was unbeatable In Its own class. The Keydets won six and dropped three this fall, losing to more powerful William and Mary, Virginia and Tu-lane. Morton took over the grid helm at V.M.I. In 1947, replacing Allison T.

(Pooley) Hubert. Sparked by Quarterback Bobby Thomason, the nation's third ranking passer, the Keydets this year en-Joyed one of their best seasons.

The William and Mary Indians breezed in today for their football scramble with Oklahoma A and in the second annual Delta Bowl game here tomorrow and found themselves favored by ix points. But you couldn't say anyone was taking those six point too seriously.

William and I Will Meet Missouri STILL FAVORED OVER SOONERS Choo-Choo Charlie Will Start in 15th Annual Football Classic Bv Al'STIX BEALMEAR New Orleans, Dec. 31 7P) North Carolina and Oklahoma collide in the 15th annual Sugar Bowl game tomorrow with the fate of both teams leaning heavily on the unpredictable stomach of Carolina's Charlie Justice. He all-America choo choo, triple-threat tailback in the single wing at tack of the Tar Heels, remained in bed on the eve of the New, Year day struggle with an upset stomach that has plagued him much of th past week.

Apparently recovered from the ailment after missing practice last Monday and Tuesday. Justice worked out Wednesday and Thursday but turned up sick once more today. "I don't feel too well and I'm a little weak, but I think it's Juft an upset stomach," said Justice at th Hammond training base of the Southern conference squad. "I'll play tomorrow unless something happens between now and then. I haven't any pain.

Carolina Head Coach Carl Snavely made no attempt to disguise his disappointment over the misfortune. He said Justice probably would start the game but "we're afraid he won't be right." "This is quite a blow to us." Snavely added. "Justice has played practically every minute on offense for us, except when we've had good-sized leads." A weakened Justice, who does most of the punting, passing and running for the Tar Heels, would boost Oklahoma's chances of victory tremendously. Even before this last-minute development. North Carolina was favored by only the slimmest of margins.

the exception of Justice, both teams will be in top physical condition for the opening kickoff at 1 :48 p.m., CST. Justice's absence or even his inability to play his best, would be a disappointment to most of tha sellout crowd of some 82,000 largest throng ever to 6ee a football game in the south. Snavely said Dick Bunting, his No. 2 tailback, would fill Justice's shoe on offense if Choo Choo is not ablt to play. The Tar Heels, who feature a well-balanced attack with separate units for offense and defense, won nine of their ten start over the regular season but were tied by William and Mary, a mistake that cost them the conference title.

Oklahoma, which operates from th highly-explosive' split-T, won nine straight games after losing it opener to Santa Clara and csptured the Big Seven championship with probably the most powerful offence ever seen in that league.

Dec. 31 (JP). The fourth annual battle for the Gator Skin tomorrow afternoon matches Southern conference football champ-Ion Clemson and Big Seven' runner-up Missouri.

The Gator Bowi crowd of about 36,000 will aee favored Missouri try to live up to the role and batter a fighting Clemson Tiger that swept by 10 opponents In 1948 for a perfect reason. They'll expect to see an offensive battle between Bus Entsmlnger, quarterback in Missouri's split-T formation, and Bobby Gage, Clemson 'a single wing formation tailback. They carry the bulk of their, teams' offense, both running and passing. They are the field generals who call the plays. Both were standouts all year and won top all-conference honors.

A capacity crowd of 60.000 fans will turn out for the spectacle. Being staged for the 24th tjme, cloudy weather with possible showers was forecast.

The eastern team, coached by Andy Kerr of Lebanon Valley. Bernie Bier-man of Minnesota, and "Tuss' Mc-Laughry of Dartmouth, will line up as the popular favorite. The 24-man squad includes the finest available talent east of the Mississippi river. All-America Bill Fischer of Notre Dame will be one of the line stalwarts, slated to start at left guard. Michigan's number one national college team of 1948 will be represented by three players.

Columbia's Gene Roe side and Frank Burns of Rutgers outstanding pass throwers and able field generals, will divide the quar- terbacking duties.

Last New Year's day's East team defeated the West 40 to 8. The current comoination is considered almost as strong. The East, however, will not have an all-America Johnny Lujack doing its quarterbacking and passing this time. On the Western side, the only pre-game advantage to be found was in poundage. The West line, with such powerful men aa Laurie Niemi, 240 pound Washington State, tackle, and his alternate at that position.

Bob Hendren of Southern California, a 235 pounder, had a bulge in weights up forward. Hendren, who stands six feet, eight inches, was out much of the season due to a broken arm. but has recovered and la expected to add great strength to the Western cause. The West will be handicapped by the limited services of one star player. Jack Kirby, fast, pass catching halfback from Southern California was benched when he suffered a chipped wrist bone during practice.

Kirby vai the player who caught the passes that enabled TJSC to tie Notre Dame earlier this month In one of the season's big upeets. The west, coached by Jeff Cravath of Southern California; L. R.

Sharp clear weather is in prospect. The athletic associations of each school will receive between $105,000 and $115,000 and the players will get the glory. Oregon, co-champions of the Pacific Coast conference with a record of nine victories and only one defeat, presents Norman Van Brocklin, one of the finest of collegiate passers, and Southern Methodist, the Southwest em champions, counters with Doak Walker, twice an all America and In addition throws in Gil Johnson, considered by some as Van Brocklln equal as a pa seer. S. M.

U. is rated as 6 12 point favorite. Both teams are in fine physical condition. Only Fred Goodwin S. M.

U. center, is out of action. He has' a torn knee cartlidge. A free scoring game appears likely. Oregon is rated the stronger in the lir- and Southern Methodist better in the backfield.

The Oregon line is big and rangy. Din Garza, senior end, stands six feet two inches and weighs 198. Brad Eck-lund, 214-pound 6 foot three inch center, is a workhorse. In 10 years of football he has never failed to start a game, but behind the Oregon line there is only Van Brocklin who is considered up to S. M.

best, although George Bell is a driving back and Johnny McKay is a breakaway runner. S. M. TJ. is said to win football games with only a backfield.

Walker, an in spiring field general, leads it. John son is the passer, and Kyle Rote and Paul Page are both dangerous runners. Oregon under Coach Jim Aiken uses the formation, but does not substitute a complete team at a time Aiken usually sends in about six or seven men on the change from offense to defense. Southern Methodist under Coach Matty Bell uses the single ing, and likewise substitutes in smaller groups. Neither team played a common op ponent so there is no direct basis for comparison.

In winning nine games and making 194 points to 82 for the opposition Oregon set down Santa Barbara college, Stanford, Idaho, Southern California, Washington State, St. Mary's Washington, U. C. L. and Oregon State.

Michigan, rated the nation's best team in the Associated Press annual poll, gave Oregon its only defeat, 14-0. Southern Methodist knocked over Pittsburgh, Texas Tech, Rice, Santa Clara. Texas, Texas A. and M. Arkansas and Baylor.

It was beaten by Missouri and tied by Texas Christian 7-7. S. M. TJ. made 229 points to its ooponents' 92.

Of the four Major Bowl games, the Cotton Bowl succeeded ln coming up with a surprising, dark horse entry Oregon. The Rose Bowl in Pasadena is committed to the Pacific coast and Big Nine conferences, leaving the; Cotton. Sugar, and Orange Bcwls to. maneuver for the rest of the nation best teams. California w-as chosen for the Rose Bowl, and Oregon, which bed tied California for the conference title, was overlooked ln the genera! speculation because It ws believed the Big Nine contract banned consideration.

But just as North Carolina (which wound up with Oklahoma ln the Sugar Bowl) was playing coy with Bowl Chairman Dan Rogers, a hint was dropped that Oregon would be willing. It developed that 6ince all the proceeds of the Cotton Bowl Hie vuuipvung Kims wiere was no ban in the Big Nine's Rose Bowl contract, and tlie Pacific conference quickly gave permission to Oregon to come here.

Southeastern Champions aV Rated Seven-Point Favorites By FRANK EIDGE, JR. Miami, Dec. 31 (1PI. The Georgia Bulldogs and Texas Long-horns lay their unblemished bowl records on the line in the Orange Bowl tomorrow before a capacity crowd of 60,000 fan. The Southeastern conference champions from Athens, go into the game against the Southwest conference runners-up a seven-point favorite, mainly on the accurate passing arm of lanky Quarterback Johnny Rauch.

But the Bulldogs and their pessimistic coach, Wally Butts, were concerned because the bigger Texans have become aroused over certain remarks about the Lone Star team. The Orange Bowl committee was criticized for making a "third-rate choice" ln Texas. The Longhorns didn't like such language. All 43 team member vowed, "We'll make a game of it." "We can win it," said Texas Coach leading point scorer, throueh thelGeri 204-pound Texas line, Rauch will start throwing from any place on the field.
