The site will .be a soggy rain loaded field in Mobile. in a game growing in importance by the year—the Senior Bowl. Here in early January each year the final College game of the season is played. When players trot on the field their rating is as pure amateur as possible in the sense of subsidized college foot ball. When they leave the field they're professionals. Members of the winning team are "tainted" with $5OO hard earned money. Members of the losing team get $4OO each. Two previous Senior Bowls flopped financially. The first was played in Jacksonville, Fla„ in 1950. This year?—local sponsors have their fingers crossed, their hopes up and their pocketbooks open. This game guarantees players their earnings, and sponsors are ready to make their word good with other funds should ticket sales fail to provide the treasury. South All-Americans are tail back Hank Lauricella of Tennes see; tackle Pug Pearman of Ten nessee; guard Ray Beck of Geor gia Tech, and Center Doug Mose ly of Kentucky. North squad All-Americans are guard Bob Ward of Maryland and tackle Jim Weatherall of Okla homa. Second team Northern All-Americans are fullback Ed Modzelewski, Maryland and cen ter Dick Hightower, Southern Methodist. =----- /~~' Y ` - ~l'~~ ~,~1 .d _ lA' ow rolie I top.see csois' poll/ !ifiP 9:1 WHITE BUCKS by. sgorfun; . „ d'q 5! = 4 r i_ r For that Collejiate - 4. look.
