or not speedy Ralph Ellsworth would accompany the Texas Longhorns football squad on its Cotton Bowl trip remained in doubt tonight. Ellsworth, recovering from an attack of the flu, did not work out with the Texas team in its final practice session today before the with Randolph Field Saturday at Dallas. Coach Dana X. Bible said that Ellsworth would be examined by a doctor and whether or not he made the trip hinged entirely upon the physician's decision. Ellsworth was expected here tonight from his home in San Antonio.

Bible also said that it was highly doubtful Marcel Gres, regular left tackle, would be able to play. Gres was seriously ill in November, and has not returned to form. Bible plans to take a 35-man squad, including Billy Andrews, half pint manager who successfully drop-kicked several points after touchdown during the past season.

in Rodgers Misses Bus As Ramblers Arrive DALLAS, Dec. 30. It's old stuff to Mayor Wopdall Rodgers by now this missing football teams when they come to town. But for the record he failed to contact, at the appointed place, his third in less than a week today when the Randolph Field squad slipped into the city and reached the hotel before his honor could overhaul them and tell them how glad he was they had come here. Last week Mayor Rodgers couldn't catch up with the San Angelo and Lufkin teams when they arrived in Dallas for the state schoolboy final.

Anyway, the mayor and other city and civic officials went toward the city limits to greet the Randolph teams as it arrived for a Cotton Bowl game Saturday with Texas. The party passed the bus carying the squad in the middle of the Houston street viaduct. Rodgers and party quickly turned around and pursued the visitors, I catching them as they were un- eastern. AU hands agreed there wont be much need for the figure zero in keeping a running total when two teams which scored six touchdowns in a previous settp get together again on what probably will be a dry, f.asl field. Coach Bernie Moore of the thrice-beaten Louisiana Tigers forecast an exciting afternoon for the spectators who can find seats in the stadium.

Scores Expected "I'd say it will be a traditional Orange Bowl and long runs all over the field," he said. "The only trouble for us is that the Aggies should be doing most of it." "It will be a great game," said Coach Homer Norton. "We know LSU, and you can look for plenty of action and scoring." What worried both coaches were the psychological angles of the lirst bowl re-match of a regular- season game, won Oct. 9 by the Aggies, 28 to 13. Norton Worried "The hardest thing in football is to beat the same team twice," Norton declared.

"My boys feel too sure of themseh'es. It's a job to get them back at their peak. They were up there when they played LSU before." Moore has taken pains to dispel any defeatist feeling in the LSU ranks by stressing the advantages of knowing what to expect and of the lessons learned in absorbing the licking.

"That really will hurt," Norton said. "Flanagan is a key man in our defense and we were hoping he would be at his peak." Flanagan hurt the knee in the final game with the University of Texas and was unable to practice for several weeks.

Norton said Red Burditt would take over the running and passing duties. The Texas coach put hi boys through a stiff workout. He said they were listless after their long train ride and showed the effects of a sleepless night in a coach. Tiger Fasten The atmosphere at LSU's camp was brighter. Moore kept Steven van his standout back, polishing his passes and Red i was working beside him.

LSU. with the line-cracking Van Buren'to count on, hasn't thrown as many passes as the aerial minded Texans but there were indications Moore might try to steal the Aggies' thunder and take to-the air.

Hotel lobby quarterbacks and visiting football coaches today, made Georgia Tech the favorite over Tulsa by a "very slight" margin in the Sugar Bowl classic here Saturday. Coach Frank Leahy of Notre Dame said he didn't know very much about Tulsa but commented that the Hurricanes undoubtedly had "plenty" and that the game should be close.

Coach Bill Alexander didn't agree with the lobby boys who have been patting him on the back this week and telling him that his Georgia Tech boys were "sure to win." "I don't believe we deserve to be the favorite," Alexander said. "Tulsa has entirely too many good boys to make me happy."
