Generally, the bids have been accepted and the slights discussed from coast to coast by now, but the schedule makers "in the West and South threw a wrench into the machine this year, so it's sure to be another week at least before we start worrying about how to get to see the pigskin pageant at Pasadena. BOSK BOWL TOPS You get the general idea that the Rose Bowl sets the pace in this annual post-season flurry off the delay shown by the country's top teams, Tennessee and Texas A.

and in making a move. Both figure they have fair country chance of receiving the call of the West and are willing to gamble on losing out elsewhere. So, even at this late date, it is logical to suppose that the Sugar and Cotton bowls will have to bide their time until the Coast Conference makes its move. This cannot possibly come until after the Bruin-Trojan clash which decides the title Saturday. Tennessee, of course, must play Auburn this week-end, too, but the Sugar Bowl was willing as early as a week ago to accept the Volunteers on their record to date.

Only Coach Bob Neyland refused to rush into the thing. His eyes are turned westward. THINGS SHAPE VP Things have shaped up pretty much as I predicted a week ago from Chicago.

Mary's Easy Winner Loyolans Tally First When DeLellis Romps, but Soon Fall Apart BY CHARLES CUKTIS It took the Gaels of St. Mary's nearly a half to get the sparlc they needed for a touchdown drive, but when the bomb finally exploded it sent Loyolans and scores sprawling all over the Co liseum turf yesterday. After a lengthy afternoon of what passed for football the Gaels had won a 40-7 "game and added another to the list of seasonal defeats for the Lion3 of Del Rey. PLENTY OF EMPTY SEATS St. Mary's hadn't earned a decision since the first week in October, but that didn't stop Coach Slip Madigan's boys yes terday when they did every thing but knock the Loyolans completely out of the Coliseum which had about 95,000 empty; seats for the The afternoon started calmly enough, and indeed, at one point the Loyolans were out in front by the magnificent total of 7-Q after Tony DeLellis' 60-yard gal lop on an intercepted pass.

But when the combined pass ing and running attack of the Gaels started to click the Lions were as helpless as babes in the woods. OUTMANNED BY FOES There will probably be a lot of theories as to what happened to the Lions in their last couple of games (they lost to Santa Clara by 41-0 last week.) The truth of the matter probably is that they are outmanned by nearly, any opposition you can mention but it also appears the boys aren't trying very hard once they get behind. And after the Gaels scored their second touchdown yesterday which came on an inter cepted pass deep in their own territoryall the heart seemed to go out of tne Loyola gang. Now for the gory details. TOXY GETS AWAY Although the Gaels drove 70 yards to be stopped on the Lion 10, there was nothing of great moment in the first quarter.

Early in the second period, however, with the Gaels on Lo- yola's 45, Norm MacPhail passed straight into the hands of DeLellis, the 155-pound mite who is a good part of the Lovola ball club. Tony took the ball on his own 40. and a MiU-A blocked out the only two Gaels with a chance to nail him, sprint- ed 60 yards for the score which Bernie Quesinberry converted. POOR KICKIXG Loyola's poor kicking, how ever, had the Lions in a hole shortly thereafter and the Gaels found themselves on Loyola's 3S. Jack Crampton and Ed Heffer-nan made it a first down on th 28, Dante Magnani got 2 more and then after an incomplete pass, HefTernan tossed a short one behind the line of scrimmage to Magnani who went to a touchdown with Nick Katzmeyer converting.

The Loyolans, who hadn't mad a first down to this point, suddenly started to strike by air aft. er Stan Farwell Intercepted Hcf-fernan's pass on the Loyola 45. Farwell hit Bill McCarthy witti one of his southpaw aerials on the Gael 45 and then connected Turn lo Page 16, Column 4 Pro-Bowl Tickets Go on Sale Today Pro-Bowl football tickets go on sale today.

Kicks Sink Redskins Three Field Goals Pave Way for 9-7 Victory and Crown Illustrated on Faq IS. NEW YORK, Dec. 3. (JP) The New York Giants protected a two-point lead today to win the eastern championship of the National Professional Football League on three field goals. Ward Cuff and Ken Strong kicked the defending league champions into the divisional title by a 9-to-7 margin over the Washington Redskins before a crowd of 02,404, second largest ever to see a National League clash.

The Giants meet the western, kings, Green Bay's Packers, in Milwaukee next Sunday for the loop crown. REDSKIXS BELTED For three periods, the Redskins, crippled by injuries, were belted all over the field by the underdog Giants. Then in the final chnpter, they started to roll with Frank Filchock's- passing and Dick Todd's galloping through the mud and occasional rain. Filchock passed '20 yards to Bob Masterson for a Redskin touchdown with six minutes to go. They kept right on going after that, staging a march from the Giant 44 to the 10.

With 45 seconds left, Beau Russell rushed onto the field to try a field goal from the 15-yard marker. Referee William Halloran, standing behind Russell, ruled the kick wide, Bl'X TWO PLAYS The Giants took the ball and ran a couple plays to end the game. The Giants started to roll early. They received the opening kickoff on their own 20 and moved to the Ward Cuff then got by the entire Washington secondary, but, as he was in the clear, he stumbled and fell on the Redskins 39. Richards carried to the 30, then Cuff dropped back to the 40, and from a slight angle, place-kicked the Giants to their first three points.

This boot, along with a 15-yarder with which Cuff gave the Giants their final three points after Hank Soar had intercepted a Washington pass in the third, gave Cuff the field-goal kicking championship of the league. He kicked seven during the season. Between Cuffs two boots, Strong connected with one from the 19 at a sharp angle to the right. Lineups: Washington Mitnpr I.E. ilk lit L.T.

If the Trojans are elected by the Coast Conference we'll see Tennessee just as sure as shooting fish, and if the Uclans win, the pendulum is apt to swing Texas way, although that isn't final by any means. In any event, all but the Cotton Bowl are in a pretty good spot.

BAIT B.I That $80,000 bait put out by the promoter of the Dallas venture isn't going to interest Rose or Sugar Bowl candidates much. Each team is going to pluck off better than $100,000 in the Tasadcna game regardless of who the teams are. As for the Sugar Bowl, it is available rent free, and with the seating capacity increased to 70,000 the sum of $80,000 doesn't appear to be so very tempting. The melon should be better than $250,000 there. Then, too, there is the small matter of prestige.

The Rose Bowl, with its 24 successful games as a background, has this in copious quantities, with the New Orleans event next best. THE GAME Nothing will change the fact that the Pasadena classic is The Green Bay in Late Rally to Triumph DETROIT, Dec. 3. (JP) The Green Bay Packers retained the western division championship of the National Professional Football League today by coming from behind in the last period to conquer the Detroit Lions, 12 to 7. A crowd of saw the game, played in a chilling drizzle.

Players were almost unrecognizable because of the mud a few seconds after the opening kickoff. The Packers will play the world champion New Yorkj ty in lne third and finally a touchdown and a conversion that won the game in the early minutes of the fourth quarter. Clark Hinkle, fullback, smashed over from the 1-yard line for the-win-ning marker. The Tackers succeeded where Detroit had failed early in the second period, turning a Lion fumble into three points as Paul Engebretsen booted a 16-yard placement. A fumble on the Packer 29 set up Detroit's only points seconds later.

SAME MOODS "In the Washington game, they seemed to be somewhat in the mood we were against Washing ton State both of us had trouble keeping the game at hand in mind. The Trojans will look a lot different Saturday and I hope I can say the same for us." It will be back to the fundamentals at Westwood today as the Bruins toil behind locked gates, as they will all week. Horrell figures it will take expert blocking to spring Kenny Washington and Jackie Robinson loose against the rugged Troy line and Bruin blocking hasn't been of the best this sea son. Pass protection lor passers and kickers also will figure prominently in the week's toil.

For, regardless of what the mo tion pictures may show in con nection with Ernest Steele's pass catch and inadvertent sojourn in the end zone where safeties some times are scored on such things, the grid drama goes into the books as a Trojan victory and it will stay there as such. BIGG EH PROBLKM Far more important to the men of Troy now is the question of what to do about the unbeaten but twice-tied Bruins, and the S.C. coaching staff had the matter under deep advisement until late hour yesterday. All this final game of the season at Memorial Coliseum next Saturday has to do with things is to decide Pacific Coast Conference title and the Rose Bowl rights.

Every indication was yesterday that Southern California's rnnnins? cuard. lfarrv 0 ohhiji, vvuuiu inca pacitated for this game, if not out of the struggle.

Seldom indeed have we been forced to apologize for our teams, either in this classic or the intersectional games that mark the regular season.

Take, for example, the way our weakest team, Stanford, tied into Dartmouth Saturday and gave this august member of the Ivy. League a trimming. That victory saved Stanford from going through the schedule without a win, yet Dartmouth lost only to Princeton and Cornell in prior struggles. ox Tin: sroT The only bad mark on the West's record this year was the lacing Pittsburgh gave Washington back in September.
