NAVY DEFEATS VALIANT ARMY EEVEN, 14-0 Middies Cash In On Fine Running And Passing Game To Annex BOTH ELEVENS GRAB CHANCES FOR THIS GAME No Time Wasted After Vol Win Over Vandy And Boston Cops NEW ORLEANS, Nov.

80 (JP) University of Tennessee and Boston College were selected today to play In the New Years Sugar Bowl football classic here. Both have accepted. The much -awaited announcement was made by the New, Orleans Mid-Winter Sports Association, sponsors of the Sugar Bowl program, SO minutes after Tennessee had beaten its ancient rival, Vanderbilt, 20 to 0 and Boston College had vanquished Holy Cross 7 to 0. The decision left Nebraska, another strong team which some thought would get the Sugar Bowl bid, a potential selection for the Rose Bowl. Both participants in this intersectional battle for the 194 Sugar Bowl title are unbeaten and untied.

It will be the first time two teams with perfect records have been signed for the Sugar Bowl and the first time a New England club has been asked to the New Orleans game. Vols Want It At (Nashville, Major Bob Neyland announced tonight he would bring his Tennessee Volunteers to New Orleans to meet Boston College in the Sugar Bowl game New Year's Bay. 1 The Tennessee football coach, after a brief meeting with his players following their 20 to 0 victory over Vanderbilt, told newsmen that most of his players had been to the Rose Bowl at Pasadena. and the Orange Bowl at Miami, and they wanted to go down to New Orleans. "Tennessee supporters and alumni have been urging us to play, at New Orleans if the opportunity comes, so that they might follow the team in its post-season game." A.

N. Goldberg, president of the New Orleans Mid-Winter Sports Association, said in making the announcement: AU Satisfied Our executive committee, which wa unanimous in its choice, considers itself fortunate in securing Boston College- and Tennessee to play the seventh annual Sugar Bowl classic 4hce it assures, our 78.000 New Years Day guests a truely great football game. It is the opinion of the committee, and I think national experts will agree, that the meeting of two such magnificent teams here on New Years day will produce a titanic classic; probably the most exciting game in the Sugar Bowls successful history. The announcement was made at 6 p. m.

while Stanford was still playing California and needed a victory for undisputed possession of the Pacific Coast Conference championship which carries automatic participation in the Rose Bowl. Frankie Sindwich Makes Traditional History As Bulldogs Win Miss State Sitting Pat Until Stanford Announces Opponent TUSCALOOSA, Ala, Nov. 30 (JP) Authoritative sources said here tonight Mississippi State football team had been invited to play in the Orange Bowl Jan. 1 but was withholding acceptance pending the outcome of a feeler received from Stanford University in regard to possible participation in a Rose Bowl game at Pasadena. Mississippi State players previously voted to accept any bowl bid decided upon by athletic authorities.

It was learned from the same sources that a final decision on bowl participation was unlikely before Monday. Neither Orange Bowl nor Mississippi State executives would confirm the invitation or acceptance immediately. Mississippi State, with only a 7-7 tie with Auburn marring its record, defeated Alabama 13-0 today. Speculation on the other Orange Bowl participant centered chiefly around Georgetown, Nebraska and Pennsylvania team. According to aviation engineers, the use of landplanes In transoceanic service would permit the keeping of schedules to a much larger degree than is now possible with flying boats.

BL ROMNEY WHEELER COLUMBUS, Ga, NoV. 80 (JP) Auburns Tigers beat Florida, 27-7, today in a Southeastern Conference contest, but dont ask why. Some 7,500 chilled fans alternated between cheers and moans as the two teams gave an amazing exhibition Of butter-fingered football In which no less than 16 fumbles occurred. Florida scrambled the oval nine its own mlsplays thrice and lost the ball on six occasions to the alert Tigers. Auburn hobbled seven times, regained the ball on fout and lost it thrice.

There was little to choose between the two' during the first three quarters of the game, as mis-play after misplay switched the ball from, one side to the other. In the final period, however, the Tigers turned on the power, adding two touchdowns to a first-period lead to run their total to 20 points. But Florida favored In pre-game speculation after sensational upsets of Georgia and Georgia Tech wasnt to go home goose-egged. On the final kickoff a speedy substitute halfback, Pat Reen, grabbed the ball on the Gator seven, wheeled and doubled through a half dozen tacklers, and scooted up the field for 93 breath-taking yards and a touchdown. Fullback Charlie Tate placekicked the extra point to give Florida Its total.

i. Fumbles Hurt It was a Florida fumble by Halfback Red Harrison In the first quarter which gave Auburn its chance for the Tigers first touchdown. Recovering on the Gator 10, when Guard Ernest Mills fell on the ball, Auburn opened up and two plays later Halfback Bud Wendling barged around left end to score standing up. Dick Mc-Gowen booted the extra point. The game wore down to the fourth quarter before Auburn was again able to punch over.

A Florida fumble this time by Leo Cahill gave the Tigers the ball on Floridas 18. Ty Irby, substitute fullback, picked up two through the line, lost a like distance when he fumbled and Jimmy Samford fell on It. Then Irby faded back, whip ped the ball to End Babe McGehee on the six, and three plays later Irby dived over, to score. Clarence Harkins placekicked for th conversion.

30 (JP) The Navy football team turned a better-than-fair season into something extra special this afternoon by beating the Army, 14-0, before a crowd that filled not quite all of the 102,000 seats In Municipal Stadium. It was, finally, a victory over Army, and that Is enough In Itself. Now that the Middies have won this one, they can forget about those defeats by Penn and Notre Dame and that scoreless tie with Columbia. In a rivalry that has been memorable for thrilling battles, this was not, however, a standout. On offense Nivy had far too much power In its running attack and on defense the heavier Navy line held the Cadet ball carriers to a net total gain of 19 yards and the Navy ends and secondary combined for a pass defense that rushed the pitchers, covered the -ecelvers on all but 5 out of 17 tries and Intercepted three Army aerials.

Navys linesmen were too sturdy and its backs too many. Even though the Middles lost sophomore star Bill Buslk of Pasadena, Calif, on a first half injury and also saw Wes Gebert of Everett, Washn, go limping to the sidelines, they had others by the hatful to throw in for yard gaining plays almost whenever they wanted. Buslk Paces Buslk, a smooths yet powerful runner before an old side Injury cropped up again to bench him, scored and pretty well engineered the first touchdown the first time Navy got possession of the ball. Army, having received the kick off, ran only two plays from Its 20 before Sophomore Hank Mazur, of Lowell. Mass, punted.

Buslk came racing back from his 35 to the Cadet 42 and the Navy was on its way. Sharing honors for the winners with the numerous backs was Sophomore Tackle Gene Flath-mann a 250 pounder from Charleston, S. this big boy was In on almost every play, and it must be heartening tonight for Coach Larson to realize that Flathmann. Buslk, Clark. VltuccI and so many others will be back for another fling at the game next year.

The accurate toe of Burly Leo Costa tipped the scales to the Bulldogs homecoming day crowd of some 30,000 watched Sophomore Frankie Slnkwich engined Georgia to its first triumph over Georgia Tech since 1936. The tension of this ancient football feud that began in 1893 flared often, but was highly noticeable on two occasions. First when Georgias Hayward Allen fumbled deep in his territory on an attempted pass to set up a Georgia Tech touchdown and again a Yellow Jacket offside penalty nullified a seemingly winning touchdown pass from Little Johnny Bosch to End Bob Ison with less than two minutes to play. Tech Scores In the first three minutes Georgia Tech marched 73 yards to a touchdown In nine plays and took what seemed a commanding lead of 13 to 0 when Allen's fumble was recovered at the Georgia four, whence Ralph Plaster bored across to score. Georgia Techs ensuing kickoff went out of bounds, one of three that did that, and the Bulldogs took the ball at their 35 and n.

arched 65 yards for their first touchdown. Interference with one of Georgias passes gave the Bulldogs the ball at the Tech 11, and Jim Todd shot a touchdown pass to Carl Grate. Costa scored a perfect placement. To start the third period, Georgia Tech's kickoff again sailed out of bounds and it was Georgia's ball at the 35.. Here was where the great sophomore tailback, Sink-wlch, started the maneuvers thai sent the Bulldogs Into the winning lead.

Slnkwich Goes In 11 plays, three of them passes by Slnkwich and six of them runs by the same hard-driving Bulldog. Georgia paraded 65 yards again to score and Costa kicked it down the middle. The, touchdown came on a 14-yard pass from Slnkwich to Lamar Davis. The ever-alert Georgia pass defense took advantage of another Tech, miscuje as Center Tommy Witt intercepted one of Bosch heaves and ran 27 to the Jacket 27 midway of the third period. Slnkwich reeled off 12 yards and passed to Jimmy Sklpworth for the score In the end Guard Will Burt booted the extra point.

Just as -Georgia staged Its winning uprising, Georgia Tech came to life In the fourth period, driving 68 yards for a touchdown The score came on a 19-yard pasa from Bosch to End George Webb after running and passing of Dick Bates had carried the ball Into scoring position.

The Bears were outscored and outplayed most of the way but never out-gamed. California opened the game without the services of its great left tackle, 'Bob Reinhard, hospitalized last night with Influenza. He is an outstanding candidate for all-America honors. On the second play after the kickoff, Californias first string right halfback Jim Jurkovlch, went out of action fromi a kick In the head.
