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. '

Will Get Bowl Bid ' .
• ' Soccer Coach Bill Jeffrey yesterday practically conceded the
New Year's day Soccer Bowl bid to Temple, winner of eight games
and only one tie this season.
If Temple gets the bid, the Owls *ill take on the University
of San Francisco at St. 'Louis. The invitation is the second for San
Francisco, which played Penn State in 1.950. The game ended in a
2-2 tie.
, Jeffrey said that Temple "will
probably get the invitation" and
that it is "very receptive."
If Temple does accept, it will
put a 16-game streak on the line
against a club that is perennially
one of the top clubs on the Pacific
Coast.
Olympic Thouts
Temple, coached by Pete
Leaness, had a 14-game winning
streak going . until Penn State tied,.
it, 1-1, last Saturday on the base

had scored eight minutes earlier.
