There's no w
equal basis with
necessary amoun
that takes money.
The quickest way to make it is
with the help of a huge stadium!
and an attractive schedule such!
as the ones in the Midwest, South,[
and West.
Back east the major powers
like Penn State and Syracuse
compete against - the best in the
land and they do it the hard
way—without the big stadium%
and big crowds.
That's why a bowl bid means
so much to these institutions.
Both Penn State and Syracuse
are very much in the running for
a bid this year. Possibilities in
clude the Orange, Cotton, Liberty
and Gator Bowls.
Taking a quick glance, the Lib
erty Bowl in Philadelphia has the
largest seating capacity-102,000.
The Orange Bowl in Miami seats
76,000 and the Cotton Bowl inDal
las, 75,000. The Gator Bowl in
Jacksonville, Fla., seats 46,000.
That's a, mighty attractive
slate for two learns which are
expanding their schedules to
lake in the top powers• in the
country.
The southern bowls have all the ,
prestige and glamour right now,
but the Liberty Bowl has plenty of
backing and is looking for a top
notch eastern team to play a team
from some other section of the
country.
The purpose of the Liberty
Bowl is to restore grid prestige
in the East. Penn State and Syra
cuse are helping restore the pres
tige this year and either school
would fit into the Liberty Bowl's
plans, especially Penn State.
Philadelphia happens to be one
of the strongest Penn State alum
ni areas. Proof of this is the group
of alums who have rented a room'
in the Penn-Sherwod Hotel for a
closed circuit viewing of the Penn
State-West Virginia game today.
But what does the Liberty
Bowl have to offer financially
compared to the other bowls?
Let's take a look. First is the
stealing capacity-102.000 is a
lot of seats. But who would
want to go out and watch a
game on Dec. 19 in Philadel
phia?
Well, the Liberty Bowl commit
tee feels that a good attraction
will offset cold weather. They also
look to the fact that Philadel
phians manage to fill Municipal
Stadium for the Army-Navy game
on the last Saturday in Novem
ber.

Carbo Says Guilty
For First Time
NEW YORK (1)) Hoodlum
Frankie Carbo, shadowy survivor
of many an oldtime gang war,
pleaded guilty yesterday to hav
ing an undercover role in boxing.
He long has been tabbed as rack
ets czar of the professional ring.
Carbo's capitulation marked the
first time in more than 30 years
that authorities were able to hang
a rap on the 55-year-old mobster,
known to the underworld as "Mr.
Gray." Back in 1928, he served 20
months for manslaughter in the
killing of a cab driver.
He faces up to three years on
three counts to which he pleaded
guilty before the second day of
his trial opened in General Ses
sions Court. Seven other counts
were dismissed. He will be sen-i
tenced Nov. 30.

Bowl Games Are
Worth Plenty
By Sandy Padw•
Collegian Sports Editor
ommercialism is the biggest factor in col-
,r for a major university to compete on an
her football powers if it doesn't have the
of scholarships and financial help. And
contract. The teams in the Liberty
Bowl will be playing before a na
tion-wide audience with no other
competing games. And both
schools will split the money from
the TV rights.
Next is the guarantee. Ac• ,
cording to the Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin, the NCAA
says the two bowl teams must
get 75 per cent of the gross.
And this means everything—
gate receipts, concessions and TV
money. The Bulletin also said that
this guarantee drops to 55 per cent
in places like the Cotton Bowl if
the stadium has a bond issue
hanging over it.
Now you're asking about the
Orange Bowl. Right now the num
ber one team for the Miami ex
travaganza • is Missouri, a team
Penn State beat earlier this year.
And bowl committees don't usu
ally pick two teams that have
played each other before.
Getting back to the Liberty
Bowl, the committee said
Wednesday that the ticket sales
look wonderful. The tickets
haven't even been printed but
8000 are sold.
The committee also has a plaw
set up where anyone can become.
a charter member of the Lib-1
erty Bowl by purchasing a block;
of 16 tickets for $lOO. Some 480,
people have done this.
So that's money in the bank fore
the Liberty Bowl, and by Thanks- 1
giving the committee feels it will,
be able to offer a nice guarantee.'
Committee members feel that they'
will be able to offer betw,een!
$125,000 and slso,ooo—the same'
amount the major bowls guaran-i
tee.
Now think of this. It costs a
small fortune to transport a
team to Miami, Dallas, or Jack
sonville. Planes, hotels and band
transportation would cut into
the guarantee quite a bit.
But the Liberty Bowl wouldn't'
cost that much. A team could,
leave two days before by bus
Hotel accomodations would be ex-!
pensive but not as expensive as
clown South. The band could leave
the morning of the game and
could come right back.
Before anyone thinks of any
bowl, though, some 44 Penn State
football players must get by the
likes of West Virginia, Syracuee,
Holy Cross and Pitt.
' Then if they do it'll be interest
ing to watch the developments.
State Considered
For Cotton Bowl
Penn State is one of eight teams
being considered for a Cotton
Bowl bid, the Associated Press re
ported today.
Jack Lowe, president of the
Cotton Bowl, said letters mention
ing the big game and stating they
were being looked over had been
sent to the Lions, Syracuse, the
Air Force Academy, Clemson,
Missjssirmi, Louisiana State, Ten
nesse and Georgia Tech.
"These were very informal and
did not constitute an invitation,"
Lowe said.
Last year, the bowl game paid
its competing members $177,000.

In the most interesting game of
the evening Jordan Hall nipped
Watts I, 7-0, to remain in conten

throughout the game, Jordan
finally scored midway in the last
period behind the brilliant play
of quarterback Jack Wright.
With the ball at midfield Wright
sidestepped a crashing lineman
and with two others right on his
heels unleashed a 40-yard pass
which Bill Ripley caught as he
fell in the end zone. Wright and
Ripley each intercepted two pass
out from the five yard line and
then tacked on the extra point
to give Lehigh a 7-6 victory.
