Makes His Move ROSE BOWL FOES 3ays Corum By BILL CORUM NEW YORK, Dee. 31.

(INS) his column's New Year's resolution is to be a better column. To start the sevens rolling in '937 we arc picking Washington over Pitt in the Rose Bowl game, 'f we miss it will be the, first Rose Bowl game on which we have been wrong in five years. Last vear we went so far as to call Stanford score over S. M. 1-0.

We figured Alabama would beat the Indians with passes in 1935 and the year previous Columbia was our six-star special. Pitt has a representative and well coached team. Dr. Jock Sutherland's teams always are well coached. The chances of the Panthers also are enhanced by the cold reception they got from the press and public when it was announced they had been tendered the invitation.

A college football team scored is a dangerous team sinee spirited youngsters are apt to be sensitive 1, 1937 Rose Bowls Rivals Spend Ouiet Hours -w An estimated crowd of one million and a half this morning wilt line Pasadenas gayly decorated streets to witness the twcnty-eiglnh annual Tournament of Roses, but some 70 youths members of the Universities of Pittsburgh and Washington football squads -will not join in the celebration. Neither team will see the parade. Rival Rose Bowl elevens pasid the eleventh hour of their pre-game preparations yesterday in relaxing as much as possible. Pittsburgh players took long, leisurely walk in the morning, but Washington player- w- "i-d to their feet as much as possible. Sutherland Careful Coach Jock Sutherland was particularly careful about his Pittsburgh team's diet, cutting down oil water consumption.

Washington players ate a dinner featuring characteristic training t-blc menu. Sutherland insisted that his men remain in their rooms and not in the lobby while in the hotel. Both teams were guests of the United Artist Theater management for the early evening show last night. By 9:30 oclock Washington players were in bed, while their foes also retired early. Practically every member of both teams attended the theater.

The only. Washington players to be found at their hotel were those having parents or intimate friends calling. Spirit Of Huskies Ed Nowogroski, veteran Husky fullback, and a soft-spoken youth, was one ol the Washingtonians who remained to greet family and friends. He best characterized the spirit of the Western team by admitting that we are taking this game very seriously and realize its a tough ball game. Nowogroski revealed that he was in no position to report his coachs plans this morning.

However, believed that his team-mates probably would elect the game captain several hours before the kick-off, or in the dressing quarters just before taking the field. a round ahead of the field in doubles, turning back Bond and Yeomans in a third round encounter, 6-3, 6-3.

Semis Gained By Favorites In Net Play By DICK CHARNOCK Donald Budge, Bernie Coghlan of Santa Monica, and Joe Hu.it and Bobby Riggs, both of Los Angeles, yesterday entered the semi-final biacket of men's singles in the annual Southern California midwinter tennis championships, being played on the La Cienega courts in Beverly Hills.

Defeats Pair Budge, fiery red-headed Davis Cupper, blasted his way past Hughes of Long Beach and .1 Millman, Los Angeles, 6-2, 6-1, in both instances. Today he meets Joe Hunt, who yesterday accounted for Lloyd Budge, Dons older brother, 6-4, 6-4, and Ed Amark, 6-3, 6-1. Riggs ran into a Tartar in Mort Ballagh, veteran L. A. public park player, finally winning at 4-6, 8-6, 6-3.

In his quarter-final against Louis Wetherell, Southern California parks champion, Riggs elected to turn on the heat and put over a 6-2, 6-0 win, Coghlan, who is to face Riggs in the lower half semi-final today, won a close decision over Frank Kovacs of Oakland, highly touted Davis Cup hopeful of the future, 4-6, 8-6, 6-4. Win In Doubles In mens doubles, and junior events, play was relegated chiefly to first and second round eliminations. Budge and Sidney B. Wood stepped ther. The Huskies are equally for-i tilied.

The consistent rainfall of this week has not slowed the playing field appreciably. Many observers anticipate a tie in todays classic, and if that should occur neither the Huskies or Panthers will have a victory to their credit, although they have played in five other Rose Bowl games. Washington has a record of one tie and one defeat, having tied Navy 14 to 14 in 1924, and lost to Alabama, 20 to 19, in 1926. Pitt has the unenviable record of three defeats at the hands of Stanford, 7 to 6 in 1928; S. 47 to 14 in 1930, and the Trojans again in 1933, 35 to 0.

It was because of past performances of Pittsburg in the Rose Bowl, when the Panthers were the victims of the worst defeats in the game's history, that some newspa-lermen unleashed a strong, critical oarrage when they were invited by the Huskies early last month to play here again. That attack stung the Panthers to the quick and the resentment remains, since it follows a season in which Pitt's record brought recognition as the East's outstanding eleven. Edge In Psychology The result is that, Pittsburgh has a strong psychological edge over Washington. That written criticism has been used by the Pitt coaching staff to whip the players into a fighting mood. The response was obvious.

Pitt is determined to erase, in a past humiliating defeats and make the critics eat their words. Psychology then, in a word, may be the deciding factor in the game. To offset what advantage Pitt may have in it's will to win, Washington has a powerful line, probably the strongest the Pacific Coast has yet seen.

Los Robles CO 8628 TODAY A NEW TRADITION will make it's bow during hall-time at the Rose Bowl game. Under direction of Audre Stong. the crowd of 88,003 will sing Auld Lang Syne. What could be finer? Let it ring out! ONE THING OVERLOOKED, 1 that has been an important factor in Pittsburgh's three previous Rose Bowl appearances in which the a ers met disaster, was the weather. For the first time today, unless a broiling sun beams down or it rains at game, time, the weather will be to Dr.

John M.1I1 Mi LAM) Bain Sutherland's liking. If you have been a Rose Bowl "regular you will recall that perhaps the warmest New Year's Days Pasadena has had in the past ten years were the three that Pittsburgh played here, against Stanford in 1928. against U.S.C. in 1930 and against 'he Trojans again in 1933. It was so hot on those days that most of the men watching the games shed their coats.

The Pitt coach would not have minded the heat so much if his team had not been matched with a California team. He figures that U. S. C. and U.

C. L. especially have a decided advantage when the temperature mounts. The fact that the Panthers are playing Washington today adds to bis optimism even though it is hot, an eventuality that seemed exceedingly unlikely yesterday morning and impossible last Wednesday night. Jock figures that Washington desires warm weather no more than Pittsburgh.

ff, if, SUTHERLAND AND PHELAN agree on one thing -both want a last, dry turf, but they have had their difficulties. The main controversy was over what color jerseys both teams would wear today. A Coast conference rule allows the home team to prescribe white for the visitors if there is a color conflict. Consequently Phelan held out for his universitys colors, providing purple shirts, with gold stripes and gold numerals. A rule in the East gives the visiting team the privilege of making it's choice.

Sfftherland therefore insisted upon blue jerseys, with gold stripes and gold numbers. In fact they are all the Panthers brought with them. A stormy meeting resulted when th matter was discussed by the two coaches. Sutherland stalked out. saying.

"You can wear what you please but were going to wear blue and gold. At late hour last night the Huskies were standing by purple and gold but they might relent and appear in while "uppers this afternoon. The radio announcers hope so. Jf. if, DON HARRISON, Pittsburgh's athletic director, is certain now that the Panthers cant lose.

He claims he hasn't won a single bet all season long, so propositioned the writer with a SI .00 wager on his own team's rival. It was taken. ff, Sf, IT MIGHT INTEREST THE Sun Captire and Royal Countess were the early leaders in the six furlong dash, but coming into the stretch Danger Point, with Appren-tiee Bobby Dntter up, made his move.

Irrepressible, an Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt filly, had no trouble taking the third as favorite, with Pep Talk, a long shot, running second, and Flying Breeze third. Two Straight Stand In made it two in a row for Vanderbilt by taking the fourth.

Mildair was a rank outsider, but held on well to take the second money, with Final Appeal, the favorite, running third. Hondo and Bakerstown, favorites in the betting, fought it out for second money in the fifth race, with Hondo grabbing the place purse after Major Austin Taylors Which-cee had won in a cantor. Whichcee paid the first long price of the day, returning $14 on $2.00 win tickets. Danger Point in the featured sixth race paid the days longest price of $26.00 to win, $14.60 to place and $7.89 to show. That was the longest win price.

Mildair beat it for a place price, paying $34.40 for second money. Photo Finish Indiantown and City Slicker continued the parade of favorites in the seventh, the two finishing in a photographic finish, with Indiantown taking a nose decision.

0J.PJ East and West meet here tomorrow in the annual All-Star Shrine football game. The heavier and presumably more powerful West eleven was given a slight edge by most experts because of a soggy field. But the belling odds, significantly, remained even. More All-Americans will appear tomorrow than ever before in the history of this contest of super-stars. Screen Stars Pick Husk'es As Underdogs Filmsters hung a heavy handicap on Pittsburgh gridders last night by making the Panthers a topheavy favorite to wrest the 1937 Rose Bowl guerdon from Washingtons Huskies.

It was the same gang that rode Discovery to a brilliant seventh p'ace in the Santa Anita Handicap last February who were sure Brevity couldn't miss in the Kentucky Derby, and who picked the Giants as a mortal cinch in the World Series. Pitt Jinxed? If Pitt survives the jinx it will be a startling exception among Hollywood favorites. The picture prediction was at odds with betting by the general public, which gave Washington a slight edge. Nevertheless Pittsburgh cant miss, said Fred MacMurray. Any team capable of defeating Notre Dame 26-0 is good enough for me.

Said W. S. Van Dyke, director: The best team usually wins, and that means Pitt. William Powell: My hunch is that Pittsburgh will win. Robere Taylor: I like Washington, but I'll be satisfied with a tie.
