BOWMAN MICHIGAN-WISCONSIN DECIDES ROSE BOWL TRIP Tech And 'Bama Battle For Bowl Bid MIAMI DAILY NEWS ALLEY MIAMI DAILY NEWS, Saturday, Nov. 15, 1947 going to the Orange Bowl. But that's up to the team." One or both elevens should wind up in a Jan. 1 contest. Mississippi State's aerial circus, which shares the leadership of the Southeastern Conference with Tech, goes against Louisiana State te Baton Rouge.

Other top games in the deep South are Duke vs. Carolina at Durham, with the leadership of the Southern Conference at stake; vs. Tulane at New Orleans, Tennessee vs. Boston College at Knoxville and William and Mary vs. Washington and Lee at Roanoke.

Southern Methodist's undefeated Mustangs figure to take another hurdle in their drive toward the Southwest Conference title when they engage the Arkansas Razorbacks at Dallas. Once-beaten Texas faces Texas Christian, which has swept to three straight conference triumphs. Texas A and Rice meet at Houston while Baylor takes rn Tulsa, leader of the Missouri Valley Conference, at Tulsa. PENX'S BIG who made Virginia their-sixth straight victim last week, probably will have their hands full against Army. The East's other major undefeated power, Penn State, also faces a thorough testing against Navy at Baltimore.

Princeton, which gained a leg on the hallowed Big Three title by trouncing Harvard last week, could make it official by beating Yale at Princeton. Southern California, with the Pacific Coast championship almost in the bag, enjoys an off week while its rivals bat each other about. UCLA should encounter no great trouble against Washington at Los Angeles and the California Bears appear to be a spread over Montana. Missouri is favored to score its sixth straight victory over Oklahoma and stake a strong claim to the Big Six Crown. Kansas plays a non-member in Oklahoma A M.

By GAYLE TALBOT tAss. rlat rrci -rl NEW YORK, Nov. 15. The biggest thing on today's football agenda is the heralded collision at Madison, of the mighty Michigan Wolverines and the Wisconsin Badgers, on which a trip to the Rose Bowl probably hinges. There are several other hot games, high at least in sectional interest, such as Georgia Tech and Alabama at Birmingham, Texas and Texas Christian at Austin and Army-Fenn at Philadelphia, but none packs quite the Impact of the meeting between the Big Nine leaders.

Michigan, trailing a record of seven straight victories, can virtually sew up the Rose Bowl invitation by humbling the fast-coming Badgers, whose conference slate is marred by an early season tie with Indiana. None of the other conference teams is within shooting distance otthe crown. MICHIGAN has been installed a two-touchdown favorite and the odds appear to be justified. The 45,000 capacity stadium at Madison has been sold out for two weeks and scalpers were reported asking $100 for a pair of tickets. Other Western Conference bouts pit Illinois against Ohio State at Columbus and Minnesota versus Iowa at Iowa City, with not a great deal at stake in either instance.

Notre Dame meets Northwestern at Evanston. Georgia Tech, emerging from a narrow scrape with Navy last week, risks a seven-straight winning record against Alabama in the South's major attraction. The Engineers from Atlanta and the Crimson could be battling for an Orange Bowl invitation, for the report is that the winner probably will receive an early bid to Miami.

Gulfstream conference champion ship should be decided at Memorial field tonight when Miami Beach and West Palm Beach tangle at 8:15. The Beach Tyrhoons, defending, carry a 3-won, 0-lost record into the contest while the visiting Wildcats have two wins against no losses and a tie with Tech High.

Both teams have strong Lake Worth left on their schedules, but Miami Beach can do no worse than tie for the title if it wins tonight. For the local eleven, the return to Gulfatieain conference competi tion may prove the needed tome after a 27-13 defeat by non-loop Bay High of Panama City last week. With designs of stepping up the touchdown power of his offensive unit, Typhoon mentor Frank Pas-kewich will open with both Dick Tannahill and Doug Cove In the backfield tonight. Tannahill has developed into the Typhoons" most effective runner, while Cove can pass as well as scoot through the smallest forewall opening. The Typhoons will have to atop the line smashes of Billy Overfelt, however, to come off winners.

Over-felt has carried the major portion of the WPB offense thus far and he bulls for yardage behind a Wildcat line which has shown grudging resistance all season. Truck Schulman, Beach line behemoth, still is out with leg and back injuric but Paskewich has been bringing along capable substi tutes. W. I REACH MIAMI RFACH No. I'laier Ml.

15 (T) Hampered by wind, rain and mud, Cumberland university eeked out a 6 to 0 victory over Florida State college here yesterday. The game's only score came in the second quarter when Bernard Hicks took a 10-yard pass from Brown Braley on Florida State's 20-yard line and cut across the gridiron. The visitors swarmed over the Cumberland line and blocked Carl Boley'a attempt at an extra point by placement. Both teams dropped the slippery, heavy ball numerous times. The home team recovered three of its five fumbles, while Florida State regained six of her 11 bobbles.

The passing was as numerous, and ss had. as the fumbling. Florida made 11 attempts, completed three and had two intercepted. The Bulldogs tossed 16, completed six( and saw Florida grab three. In the last quarter Florida made ite bid for a score, moving up to the Cumberland 25-yard line, but there the Bulldogs held them fori downs.

The winners were able to mark up only six first downs as the visitors tallied for nine. WORST DEFEAT SINCE 1944 Vandy Power Buries By GUY BUTLER (Miami Dally News Pporta Fdllor) Vanderbilt's gold-helmeted Commodores cruised all over Male Wait Eying a eUlm to the Southern championahlp, the RUng will be aiming at win No. 6 and their fourth ove-r out-of-state opposition. Ten years ago, almost to the exact day, little round man Wally Butts brought a finely-tuned Purple machine here to wreck a proud Stingaree 34-7. Those 34 points were the most any team before or since has scored on a MHS eleven except for a 58-0 defeat administered by Gainesville back In 1822.

the first year of football for the Stings. Gainesville the Sting didn't miml too much for they were inexperienced then. But Male's victory came when the Stings were annually battling for the Southern championship and the shock was 10 times greater. JESS YARBOROrGH wu the victimized coach that year of Butts, who stepped not long afterwards into the driver's seat at the University of Georgia. Both mentors have departed, leaving tonight's renewal up to Male's Luther Hanshue and Miami High's George Trogdon.

-But Yarborougli will be sitting in the stands tonight hoping to see the tables reversed on the Kent in li inna. And the odd ride with the Stings this time. Though Male High is rated No, I prep team Kentucky, local adherents figure they haven't yet seen the likes of such a powerhouse as the Stings appear to have this year. Winners of seven of eight games, the Purples nevertheless have to take a backseat in the records to the Stingarees, who have won four straight and piled up 115 points to six in the process. IIASVT been backward In the touchdown production business, however, and has chalked up 193 points to 14.

But seven of their opponents points were scored by Charlotte, N. which used them for a 7-6 decision over the Blue Grass gridders. Charlotte is the only mutual foe met by the two teams, and Miami High whipped the Carolinians, 33-0. But Charlotte had six men Injured when it met MHS and the score can't be taken as indicative of what may happen tonight. Leading the visitors' T-forma- tion is Jitterbug Jere Smith, 165- pound left halfback.

Smith is considered the finest runner on the team although Ed Hamilton, 165-pound right halfback, and Oddia Martin, 158-pound fullback, have shared the scoring honors with seven touchdowns apiece. Averaging 176 pounds, the Male line will be outweighed slightly by the locals. A slight tackle shortage may be felt by the Stingarees. however, for Charley George and John Vereen, Nos. 1 and 2 at right tackle, are injured and young Bob Wodrich has drawn the starting assignment opposite Don Matchett.

But both George and Vereen probably will wheel into the line of fire before the game ends. Kut Koesy, leader of the MHS attack, and his backfield cohorts, Jim Dooley and Jack Schneider, are expected to take up any slack that may turn up in the line. Versatile Koesy has been particularly impressive through the air lanes and his tosses to Dooley and End Hanford Knowles may pro- Miami figuratively if not literally last night, landing five ii 3F jR.

Clive Shrader bucked for zero then Johnston stepper hack and pegged one to Bob Bowman the dead run Bowman reached over his shoulder, clutched it and eluded Nalley to dash across for U-M's lone score. Ghaul tied it with his one-pointer.

On the last play of the first quarter Vandy had driven down to the Hurricane 15 where it was fourth down and five. In went Clinard and a field-goal attempt appeared certain. But the ball was at an angle from the goal so Lawrence, holding, tried to run for it but was spilled hard by Settembre and E. Houck to the Miami 31. However, the Commodores were undaunted and soon after the second period began they took over a Ghaul punt at their 34 and in four plays had their second touchdown, marching 64 yards.

Hicks got six and North 12 on a reverse. Bob Berry passed beautifully to Hicks for 42 yards to the U-M rt and then Berry circled right end for the marker. Clinard made it good and it was 14-7. TIIK ENEMY caught fire then.

He run over unmolested. Clinard's kick waa blocked but it was 26-7. The two Beach boys, Pavidson and Rich, got into the fracas about that time and the former especially made life miserable for the Hurricanes, driving to the Miami 2R when Bowman saved a TI) by getting into the way of a Vandy pass intended for Rich at the goal line.

The fighters made their decisions imultaneoualy in Madison Square Garden last night shortly after Fox topped the Bronx Bull in 2:26 of the fourth round of their slated ten. A roaring, capacity crowd of 1S340 was lured by the records of a puncher with a sensational knockout string and a rough, bruising mauler who had never before been stopped It was the first time LaMotta ver faiied to go the route.

LMotta bored in. in his usual ty but his body punches didn't faie the solid, straight-punching 21-ye-ar-nid Philly negro.

In becoming the first fighter ever to top LaMotta. Fox kept his own unique record alive. It was his 5th gr.ockout in 51 pro bouts. times at obth goals in a 66 to It was just the sort of a night for moonlight cruises etnd with an appreciative crowd of 29,717 look Injc on the dry-land Commodores made the most of it with lon and spectacular dashes over the Bur-dine turf that stamped them, in the eyes of this throng at least, as a squad with distinct bowl possibilities. BULWARKED BT a bruising battering line that grudgingly yielded every inch gained by Miami and a backfield of swivel hips, twinkle-toes and battering rams, the Tennesseeans who boast vic tories over Alabama, Ole Miss and Northwestern, ground the hapless Hurricanes into the sod but they did it so artistically they made even their victims like it.

Tf it had been a one-period eon-test, however, the scrapping, clawing defenders would have emerged with a 7-to-7 dogfall. While both sides were fresh and full of vim and vigor the Hurricanes played them on even terms, staging a roaring comeback to dent touchdown territory on three plays after Vandy had wheeled across dizziy in two snaps. But the 4 2 a Commodore steam-roller, htgh-geared and rearm' as they paraded before a potential "Orange Bowl bid," warmed to their work early in the second period, with another lightning thrust and in quicker time than it takes to tell, almost, had three additional leather luggers over the double-stripes. From then on it was simply a matter of how large the score. Coach Red Sanders employed everybody on his bench except the rubber- downer, making a motion once as if to send him into the lineup.

Evidence of the Vanderbilt superiority is clearly told in the statistics which gave them 13 first downs to 9.399 yards net total gain against 147 and 164 yards against 81 on aerials. IN JUSTICE to the Miamians it may be cited that Harry Ghaul, their punting wizard, was sorely handicapped by injuries and was not up to his high-class standard and half a dozen others were ailing which cut down their effi-ciancy. Ill or well, however, the Hurri canes could never have kept pace with the brilliant sophomore, Bobby Berry, who twice broke loose for touch downs; the 200-pound Miami Beach freshman. Dean Davidson, a youthful bulldozer: and the mercury-heeled Jamie Wade, Joe Hicks and Liee Nalleyk. to say Caught of Herbie Rich, another fleet-footed Miami Beach lad.

The fans, accustomed to emitting Bronx cheers for the Hurricanes' oft-times puny efforts, were fairly stunned into silence bv the clever manipulations of the Commodores, their antelopean speed and the ease with which they smashed big. yawning gaps in the U-M line.

IT WAS a game of touchdown ixirsts, with virtually all of the six scores made from far out. Bobby Berry broke the ice when the first quarter was half gone. It came like a bolt from the blue. Harry Ghaul had quick-kicked 30 yards, partially blocked, and the runback was eight yards to the Commodore 43. Bernie Rohling struck for five whereupon Berry snatched the pigskin, swept wide around his own end, walked the "tight-rope" at the Miami 40 where he was almost pressed out of bounds and suddenly, almost miraculously, came streaking out from a bevy of tacklers Into the t-lesr and on he went for a 52-yard touchdown gallop.
