PRE-BOWL COMMENTS-
Last Saturday afternoon, your writer watched the
Army-Navy football game on television. Nothing made him
..riore disgusted with the post-season bowl selections than to
hear that Navy still had the bid to the Cotton Bowl, despite,
a 7-7 tie with the Cadets.
We left the set talking to our
selves, wondering how on earth
a bowl selection committee could
have the nerve to offer a bid to a
team that was lucky to come oft
the field with a tie, after being
4iutplaved the whole game asl
Navy was.
Navy, with the exception of its
one touchdown drive, was never
in the game. Army outplayed the
Middies in every phase of thel
contest and deserved the win.i
Fumbilitis. a "disease" which'
plagued the Cadets all season,'
prevented them from winning.
The Middies were pathetic to ,
watch on offense. They accumu- '
lated only five first downs dur
ing the game, only twice mak
ing two of them in succession.
With the exception of Ned Old
ham's punt return late in the
first half. the - Sailors - did not I
advance past their own 39-yard
line under their own power.
Yet, they still received a bid to
the Cotton Bowl. Admiral W. R.
Smedberg. head of the academy,:
wisely turned down the bid.;
Looking at the situation realis-'
tically, he said that Navy did not
deserve to go to the bowl. How
right he was.
After the Nary refusal. Syra-•
cuse received the lucrative offer
and naturally accepted. Few com
plaints can be registered over the
Orange selection. Syracuse, led by
All-American Jimmy Brow n,
compiled a 7-1 record during the
regular season and should pro
vide host TCU with stern compe
tition
Pitt's selection for Gator Bowl
action was another farce, as far
as we are concerned. At the
time of the selection. Pitt and
Penn State had identical rec..
orals. 6-2-1. Penn State out
played the Panthers in its 7-7
fie, yet was not even mentioned
as a bowl possibility.
What we'd like to know is just i
what does a team have to do to
attract attention from the so
called experts. Here is a team that
beats Ohio State and West Vir
ginia. outplays a seven-p oin t,
favored Pittsburgh. and gives
Syracuse and Army the scare of
their lives. Yet, did it come in for
serious consideration for a bowl
berth? Not to our knowledge. It's
an odd world isn't it.
BASKETBALL TIDBITS—
After watching Coach John
basketball learn open its
season in grand fashion with an
88-51. victory over Carnegie Tech's
tough Tartans. we feel certain
that better things are yet to come.
Egli's boys. although a bit rusty
at first, proved they had the po
lentiat to bring home a winner.
All that remains is to develop it.

he'll see that the foundation is
there. More game experience
should mold the Lions into a
tough, aggressive, smooth-work
ing unit.
Were not jumping on the band

a few games. But, they'll give
almost any team on their sched

West Virginia. Pittsburgh. and
Temple. As long as they keep
hustling, always giving their best,
what more can anyone expect.
Sophomores Carm Palmeri° and
Tom Hancock were quite impres
sive against the Tartans. The first
game "shakes" were evident, but
with more experience, these two
could develop into top-flight
players. If the sophomores adjust
