PAGE SIX ' - - s - Traditional Battles Mark Final Football Weekend NEW YORK, Nov. 30—(AP)---College football has its, last big fling of a troubled season tomorrow with two major bowl berths up for grabs and enough traditional games to keep the fans happy. 1 The colorful Army-Navy spectacle in Philadelphia and the Notre Dame-Southern California clash at Los Angeles will offer an unprecedented football feast to television view ers from coast to coast. Army and Navy start bumping heads at 1:30 P.M. (EST) and at 5 P.M. (EST) the Fighting Irish and the far western Trojans will pick up the ball. Bowl at Stake It's in the southwest, however, where the bowls are going to be filled. The whacky Southwest Conference race goes down to the wire with two key games, Southern Methodist vs. Texas Christian at Fort Worth and Bay lor vs. Rke at Houston. To the champion will go the lucrative Cotton Bowl position against Kentucky at Dallas. The runner-up may get a shot at un defeated Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl at Miami. But it's possible for a tie finish in that scrambler conference, and where do they go from there? Baylor Favored TCU (4-1) can clinch by beat ing SMU, which is out of the race. Baylor is 3-1-1 and Rice is 3-2. A defeat for TCU and a win by Rice would cause a TCU and Rice tie. A Baylor victory and TCU loss would give the crown to Baylor. A tie for TCU and a victory for Baylor would bring about a TCU and Baylor dead lock. A tie for Baylor and a loss by TCU would result in a Baylor- TCU deadheat. If the unexpected normal hap pens, and believe me, some smor malcy is due sometimes, TCU should take the marbles. The Horned• Frogs are favored by 6% points. A crowd of 33,000 is anti cipated. Baylor, ninth-ranked nation ally, is favored by 6 2 h points for the Houston clash which will lure some 55,000 customers. Trojans vs. Irish Navy is favored by eight points to make it two in a row over the Cadets but on how Coach Eddie Erdelatz hates that favorite's role. He's fearful of inspired, do or-die play by the lightly-manned West Pointers. Last year a fired up Navy club upnded heavily favored Army 14 -2 e and Erdelatz fully understands what spirit can do. That's the way it's been in this heated rivalry through the years. Southern California (7-3) is a seven-point choice to down No tre-Dame (6-2-1). And the Tro jans have no liking for the fav orite's spot either. Some 50,000 fans will pay their way into the Coliseum for the 23rd meeting of these perennial grid powers.
