By JOHNNY BRADBERRY, Assistant Sports Editor. DALLAS, Texas, Jan. 1. As gallant a rally as the eyes of Texas have ever witnessed fell exactly three yards short for Georgia Tech here today. Thirty-six thousand Texans, who love their football rough and glory in a fighting heart, really saw one today when the Techs spotted the Longhorns two touchdowns and then roared back in the-last quarter to score once and fall just three short yards away from the goal line on another drive, all of which left the Southwestern Conference representative ahead at the end by a 14-7 margin in the seventh annual Cotton Bowl classic, JACKETS if OAR BACK.

New Orleans, Jan. 1. There is still plenty of the stuff of Old Hickory left in the Tennesseeans. They showed that today in beating a sharp, fast Tulsa team. 14 to 7, in the ninth Sugar Bowl football game with some 70,000 persons looking on.

Had it not been for the fighting spirit of Andrew Jackson and the Hickory fiber of his being, this Tennessee football team would have lost today. Because this Tulsa team was all they said of it and Glenn Dobbs is one of the great passers of the year. I think his performance in the second quarter, when Tulsa scored its lone touchdown, was one of the most amazing of all times. Glenn Dobbs completed seven consecutive passe for the touchdown. In the series of plays involved in the march he completed 10 ef 11, the last seven one after the other.

You will find nothing else like that in the record books. VOLS NOT GREAT. This was not a great Tennessee team. It never really got going. I- put together fragments of J- 'tV.

He struggled and then fell limp on the platform. It was a realistic elosc-up for Brown's latest picture, which at this time is called "The Chatterbox." It probably will have a new title when it reaches the screen. An Atlanta sailor who has been in a major naval engagementVance Lynch, 2130 Boulevard Granada, 'Cascade Heights was an onlooker and he got a great kick out of Brown's act. He didn't realize, he said, that a star ever went through anything like that. Lynch's father is a switchman on the Southern railroad.

Brown yelled out to Lynch and a companion, Octabe Guttierrez, a soldier from New Orleans: "So you would' like to be in movies, eh, fellows?" Later on Brown posed with the boys and gave them tickets to the Rose Bowl game. Brown is co-chairman of the "Be a Rose Bowl Host to Service Men" group. Mrs. Hobart Bosworth is also co-chairman. Brown is the only man on the committee.

Rogers is making a new picture, "Idaho," and Ona Munson, who played Belle Watling in "Gone With the Wind," is playing a similar role in Idaho.

She runs a gambling house. Smiley Burnett, who is playingin the picture, quipped that this one's "Gone With the Draft." I suppose he meant Rogers for Autry. The visit with Brown was entertaining all the way. He recalled with pleasure his visits to Atlanta. He helped open one season when the weather was 31 decrees.

ORANGE BOWL STADIUM, MIAMI, Jan. 1. There can be peace and quiet again in this football world. The monster that had taken the shape of a and threatened to spread terror all over the country has been shackled.

Coach Swede Phillips is expecting a tough game. He is taking only eight men on the trip as several of the squad members have been working during the holidays and were unable to practice with the team. Players making the trip are Captain Waddy Gantt, Jim Gullett, Hokey Jackson, Alternate Captain Johnny Dobbs, Jack Battle, Bill Miller, James Garner and Hank Lcvinson.

"FEAST" BEGINS. They fed the Tide and Eagles to each other at 2:05 o'clock this afternoon and sat back to wait for a massacre between the two biggest lines in the nation.

An overflow crowd of nearly 16,000 contributed the proceeds of the game' to service relief funds. The Cowboys from the plains of west Texas, sparked by freshman Fullback Camp Wilson and little Doc Mobley at half, swarmed over the Bombers in the second quarter and wentWnto a 7-0 lead with Wilson scoring over his left tackle.

Mobley, the nation's leading ground gainer, set up the Cowboy tally when he intercepted a pass by Billy Sewell, Washington State's passing star last season, and romped 66 yards to the Air Force nine-yard line. Hardin-Sim-mons failed to score then, but after the Bombers punted out to their 29, big Camp Wilson rammed over the goal line on the next play on a 29-yard ride.

It was a natural play, Texas undoubtedly expecting a pass on fourth down. the striking each time, it appeared certain that Alabama had done the see line. It was that line which wore down the Tulsa team.

Tulsa had a minus 39 vards i running with the ball. Tulsa gained 18 yards through the air. I do not think they gained anv-! thing through that hickory line from Knoxville.

Big Vic Spadaccini, now a lieutenant in the Air Forces, but for three years fullback at Minnesota and later with the Cleveland Rams, steamed over from the one-yard stripe. Captain Al Bodney, a Tulane product, missed the conversion and the Cowboys still led. The Bomber offensive went into gear in the fourth, aided by a pair of 15-yard penalties against Har-din-Simmons. The two Minnesota, teammates. Lieutenant Harold Van Avery and Spadaccini, went into action and ended a combined aerial and ground drive with Van Avery scoring the winning touchdown.

Bodney converted. the Techs to win and it wasn't there for them to tie it up. Texas' today, and so here it is. He's a mighty unusual fellow, is the Babe. He was a star at California (Berkeley), playing on Andy Smith's wonder team.

He made all-conference center a couple of years. He played on great teams but he was never a performer in the Rose Bowl. California's Bears were a little high-hat in those days. And yet the Babe, while never playing in the Rose Bowl, was in the game that dedicated the bowl in 1922. California played U.

S. C. The Babe, a California (Berkeley) star, married Winifred Louise Martin, daughter of the University of Southern California's popular captain, Harry Lee Martin ('89), and today he is coach of University of California at Los Angeles. He really has been getting around. In fact, when he and his brothers finished going to the University of California, they left such a mark behind them that the school officials named the athletic field in their honor.

Today it is known as Horrell "Field. As an insurance man, before he accepted an assistant's job at U. C. L. A.

under Bill Spaulding, the Babe did very well, indeed. But coaching was in his blood. And as he returned from Honolulu with a U. C. L.

A. team, he was the new head coach and didn't know it. That was on December 1, 1938, and Bill Spaulding had decided to retire from active coaching and become athletic director, a position he holds at the Bruin school today. He is one of the best liked members of the coaching profession. holiday bid.

There had been no hint of the things just ahead. It was a Boston party all right, for 12 minutes of the first quarter, and nobody could see anything but a slaughter for Alabama. But the Tide had bowl tra Here is Alabama's second quarter scoring spree in chronological order: Russ Mosley passed 14 yards to Substitute Wheeler Leeth in the end zone to climax a 60-yard march. Jonny August passed 16 yards to Substitute Ted Cook in the end zone to complete a 33-yard d-rive. Bobby Tom Jenkins ran 40 yards around his left end.

Hecht kicked goal. Alabama drove 57 yards to the eight, and Hecht kicked a field goal from a differ-cult angle. TIDE LEADS. 22-21. Thisc gave the Tide a 22-21 lead at the half, and as things wound up, this goal by Hecht, in the last seconds of the first half, actually was the deciding factor.

The scoring action, however, was by no means finished. Don Sails, running like a needled whippet tank, placed the Tide in position to score their fourth touchdown early in the third quarter with a 20-yard smash right through the giant Boston middle. After August had passed to Babs Roberts over the goal, only to see Roberts drop the ball in the open, he skirted around right end for 15 yards and the score was 28-21. The big Boston bruisers were scattered prone all over the field on this perfect scoring play common to the Notre Dame sys dition to preserve and what they did to the Eagles after spotting nanovich to the ball and recovered for a safety. Mosley drove the final nail into Boston's coffin with a punt dead on the Eagles' one-foot line.

A 44 yard pass from Connally to Killelea gave the Eagles a moment of hope, but a fumble at Alabama's 32 fell into Crimson arms and the teams left with Alabama celebrating this New Year's party, and all. The statistics don't tell Alabama's superiority, but they do reflect the clean plane on which the game was played. Penalties imposed against these "roughest" teams in the country totaled only 31 yards. Alabama was docked for 20, and Boston 11. Twenty of these yards were for excessive time-outs.

Fullback Carl Lucas, of Boston, went out in the second quarter with a broken leg, but this was suffered when he fell after batting down a touchdown pass in the end zone. And Bill Cunningham? Here is what the sage of Boston had to say: "When you're beaten as cleanly and as splendidly as was Boston College today, the only thing to do is stand at salute as the victors go by. It was a fine game of ball, played in the truest tradition of sportsmanship, brilliantly won and gallantly lost in a magnificent setting, so in taste with the times that none who saw it will ever forget it." This appears to be a fitting epitaph with Boston flavor and all, for the that crossed the river them 14 points, no figures will ever tell. The Tide made a myth of the with five touchdowns and barely missed three more. They tossed in a field goal and two extra points and rubbed it in with a safety that was donated by the harassed Eagles.

It was Alabama today that made no mistakes after Holovak had made those first two touchdowns. And it was the Tide that made their breaks and leaped upon them like a fiendish bob cat. line superiority was evident all afternoon despite great play by Harvey Hardy, the Jackets' Ail-American guard, and the two ends, Helms and Marshall. The running of McKay and Field was something to watch. Both of these lads are fast as all get out and their 195 pounds are churned by a great will to go forward.

LONGHORNS SPEEDY. Field exhibited his speed when he ran that punt back. Tech had stopped a long Texas march on its own 10-yard line and the boys breathed a sigh of relief when Helms got off a nice 50-yard kick. But Field took it on the dead run at his own 40 and sped straight up the middle, outrunning everybody until he reached the Tech 30, where six Longhorns picked him up and formed a convoy for the rest of the journey. But at that, the Jackets nearly tied it up.

With four minutes left to play, they took the ball on their own 46 as a result of McKay's East Nips West, 13-12 tem. Hecht missed his placement again and Boston opened a drive. Statistics equally rare ability of the two or three receivers to catch it, Tulsa would not nave been in the game. As it was the game was one of the most spectacular of all the brilliant games which have been played here. Tennessee, I think, fooled the Tulsa ns with a pass attack which was better than any they had shown southern rivals all year.

Passes led to both Tennessee touchdowns and Tennessee com-pleted seven of 17 attempted for an average comparable with that of Tulsa. I liked what the coaches said. Henry Frnka, of Tulsa, said we knew Tennessee had a terrific team. They were every bit as good as we thought. We were out-manned, of course.

Our boys played their hearts out. I'm proud of them. I'm glad wc gave the Sugar Bowl a good game. We il always remember the Sugar Bow I with pleasure, but we'd just as soon forget the Tennessee line. John Barnhill, the winner, said, "I think it va one of the greatest scraps I've ever seen.

Neither team, no matter what the breaks were, stopped trying. That is the stuff that insures victory against the Germans and the Japs." It was all of that. There were plenty of servicemen here today, thousands of them, from ships and camps and airfields. Their spirit was that spirit on the field and maybe they learned some of it there. DOBBS PASSES.

All agreed the second quarter was the thriller. It was then that Tulsa scored, with the famed Glenn Dobbs completing 10 of II passes, seven in a row-. It was then Tennessee scored, heavily and with powerful runs and passes. Tennessee almost took over. Continued on Page 7.

Jan. 1. -(INS) Published reports that the Chf-saso Hears staged a four-hour protest meetinff the nicht before they lost professional football title to the Washington Redskins were denied yesterday Ty Luke Johnson, co-coach of the Bears. Reports were that the Bears were angry on the eve of the game because if they won the championship, and no one expected otherwise, they would be obliged to play an All-Star team in Philadelphia December 27.

Johnson said the Bears were not unwilling to play the second game, but they asked Elmer Layden, football commissioner, to advance the date to December 20 to avoid any Interference with their Christmas holiday. This Layden tried to do, Johnson said, but souvenir programs on the Philadelphia game had already been printed and a change in the original date would have meant the loss of $100,000 from advertisers. The night before the Redskin game, Johnson said, every member of the Bears was in bed at the curfew hour, 11 o'clock. 103 Yds. lost.

Lucas Alabama 0 22 8 9 37 Boston 14. 7 0 0 21 This ninth Orange Bowl classic was strictly an offensive game, with both the Eagles and Crimson Tide running or pr.ssing on third and sometime fourth down. The spectators, like the Alabama team, had a field day, but until the Tide put it away in the fourth quarter nobody was convinced that Boston was beaten.

HOLOVAK IS STAR. Holovak was everything Bill Cunningham and the other erudite Bostonians have claimed. He was the whole Boston attack, but he was not the equal of Russ Craft, Bobby Tom Jenkins, Russ Mosley and Johnny August, the chief collaborationists in crime against the easterners. Holovak scored all three of Boston's touchdowns, the first two on runs' of 65 and 33 yards. He made the third on a 2-yard smash.

In all, he gained 137 yards running and 45 on a pass. Long scoring jaunts were outside Alabama's right end on lateral passes from Quarterback Ed Doherty. Alabama had to come a long way to recoup the damage dealt by Holovak's startling runs. The Tide had gained 10 yards and lost 9 while the Eagles were soaring highlighted by Holovak's 39-yard sprint on his pet play, that carried to the Alabama five. It failed when Killelea slipped and fell-behind the line.

The Eagles had traveled 75 yards for this one and when they missed it virtually sealed their fate. It was their last serious gesture. Alabama, still fearful of the Eagles' running game, struck out to make it stick in the last period, and Jenkins struggled across backward from the one-foot line at the end of a 68-yard junket. Hecht connected from placement and the Tide led, 35-21, with nine minutes left. The Eagles, with Mickey Con-nally passing, moved out to mid-field in a hurry, but Hecht intercepted a toss at Alabama's 43.

The Eagles gained the ball on a punt and again tried to take up the slack. This time Jim McWhor-ter, the Athens boy, intercepted and ran back to the Eagles' 10. The Tide couldn't budge the frantic Eagles, who took over at the eight. It was here that the snap from center fell into the end SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. I.

(A) A band of college all-stars brought the East i's football triumph over the West in live years today, edging out the westerners. 13 to 12, in a spine-tingling charity game before a near-capacity crowd of 58,000 in Kezar Stadium. The two teams, evenly matched, played a brand of football as wide op-en as a church door, and it was anybody's ball game until the final gun. The West had power aplsnty on the hoof and the East had the edze in fleetness afoot, but both outfits took to the air early in this annual Shrine classic and yardage was reeled off in spectacular fashfion. Two great opposing passers, Columbia's Paul Governali for the Esst.

and Washington State's Bob Kennedy for West, turned in some jobs. Governali tossed -ne touchdown pass and paved the way for the East's second score tn another aerial thrust. Kennedy, passing fiercely a 1 afternoon, scored on a lateral and passed a Alabama Scorino: Touchdowns. Jenkins only bad punt of the day. Prokop passed to Sheldon on the sidelines for a first down at the Longhorn 37 and the handful of Tech fans took a new lease on life.

Marshall ran for 4 on an end-around and then made a brilliant catch of Prokop's pass on the Texas 9-yard line. Tech drew a five-yard penalty, but Rabbit Jordan got 10 around end on an end-around. Prokop got a yard and Sheldon threw two incomplete passes with the clock showing a few seconds more than two minutes to play. TEXAS LINE GREAT. Bobby's last effort was a dismal one as the ball slipped out of his hand as he was starting to throw to Plaster in the flat.
