The siiRRestlon thnt T. C. U. iind
Tennessee meet In a final game
to decide the colleelate football
championship of the United State
for 1938 Isn't mien bad idea
when yon come rljjht down to foot
ball facts concerning these two
chools.
Southwestern conference foot
ball In no hear on eligibility and
amateur standings, and neither Is
the SouthcaHtcrn. In all probabil
ity, players on both Meyers' and
Neyland's squads would be schol
nstlcally "in trim" for such a
game.
A Real Drawing Card.
Both are undefeated and untied,
. . the only major tennis In the
country with such a record. They
cem to be a perfect match. Ten
nessee proved lis worth with that
17 to 0 slaughter of Ktldham's
Rooners and Davey O'Brien and
Ills mates were good enough to
humble Carnegie, who had licked
Tift in November.
The gnme, whether played in
Fort Worth, In Knoxvllle, or at a
neutral site, would draw a capa
city crowd. Tennessee could pack
Home 30,000; Koith Worth about
45 or 50 thousand, and sites that
. would bold anywhere from 70 lo
even 100 thousand could he found,
if the promoters behind such a
gnme could make It attractive
enough.
Even In the Springtime.
It would mark the first time any
mich "finals" had ever been played
off. Almost everyone who follows
football would attribute the na
tion's number one spot to the wln
ner. Why sure, let's have it! But
what would we call the game?
the Spring Bowl!
Football has always been
thought of ns a fall sport. The
bowl games pushed it a little ways
into the winter, and now we may
even see it going into the spring
days.
Well, if this gnme occurs, It
means thnt football, starting in
fall, going up to spring, then a
couple weeks layoff before spring
practice would become an all-year
round nffatr. . . .
No need to talk of the final
exam schedule published In to
day's "Hag." Lewandowski, Jones,
Brownie, and the other coaches
have continually pounded eligibil
ity requirements into varsity ath
letes' heads. The lluskers lost one
of the best sophomore basketball
rrs this year, when Jimmy Taylor
tripped over the scholastic hurdle,
find are wary of losing more dur
ing spring sports. The chances to
cop conference meets and cham
pionships Isn't any ton high now,
so here's hoping finals see Huskor
runners, grnpplers, swimmers,
gymnasts, footballers, and others
come through with victories . . .
in the classroom.
We still pick K. U. to cop the
Fig Six basketball championship.
Nebraska will be second . , . don't
throw that stuff!

English Cheering Anemic
Compared to U. S. Colleges
Although football as played in
England is considerably different
from American football r.t no
point do the two games differ as
much as in the attitude and be
havior of the spectators attending
these games.
No need to go into detail about
the antics of the crowd at one of
our collegiate games with cheer
leaders, cheering in unison, boo
ing, loud yelling, etc. Then pic
ture if you can just about the ex
act opposite and you will have an
idea of the English spectator at
cither a rugby or soccer game.
The first major difference comes
before the game starts. Whereas
in the stales both teams appear on
the field for a warming up period
of well over a half hour accom
panied for the most part by cheer
ing, etc., in England the teams do
not mako an appearance on the
field until a minute or so before
game time. A few quick tosses
around and positions are taken for
the kickoff.
When the teams trot on (he field
hey are greeted with polite ap
plause and usually there is very
little difference in the "hand" giv
fn the home team and that given
the visiting team.
At no time before, , during, or
following n game is there any or
ganized cheering. Whenever a par
ticularly good play has been made
(even if it does not result in a
goal or a try in rugby a touch
down is known as a try), there
'ill be a round of applause most
often from adherents of both
sides.
Whenever a goal or try Is made
" round of applause is forthcom-'nK-
If the goal is accomplished
flT a piny that was particularly
bl'illiant the applause will be a
b'tlc louder and prolonged. At no
kme does the English spectator

Now that Jan. 2 is past and
gone there's nothing left but a
few finishing touches in the form
of a few scattered pro games,
we'll say farewell to football, for
a day at. least, by giving the
various bowl tilts a final look see.
First, in Interest aronnil been
was the Orange Bowl game in
which Big Six enthusiasts learned
I that maybe Big Six football this
year wasn't quite so hot as they
thought, and Oklahoma maybe
learned a little about the old say
ing "Pride goetli " etc.
That 17-0 plastering the Vol
unteers pasted on the Sooncrs
as well as the bowery brawl the
game developed into, won't do
the Big Six a whole lot of good.
Tennessee was favored to win,
but everyone this corner in
cludedthought Oklahoma had
a chance. As the game developed
all they had was a very tough
day. Of course, the Sooners
missed Howard McCarty and
Bill Jennings, but considering
the way the lighter Vol line out
charged the Oklahomans, those
two wouldn't have made the
game much more interesting.
Altho it's an old Tennessee
custom to sling a punch at the
drop of a helmet, Oklahoma was
in the game, too, and if the type
of football played in the Oiaiige
howl is taken as a criterion to
judge Big Six ball, it will be a
while before the big bowl boys
want a midlands team in their
games.
The Orange Bowl game furn
ished a few interesting sidelights.

Nation's Mentors Also
Recognize Need for
Improvement in Togs
Only two minor changes wer
made In the football rules for 1939
af the meeting of the rules com
mittee of the National collegiate
Athletic association in Colorado
Springs, Colo., the first of the
week.
These rule alterations confined
themselves with regulations gov
erning eligible pass receivers.
The two changes:
The penalty for a forward,
pass striking an ineligible player
shall be the loss of the down and
15 yards from the point of the
previous down, Instead of the
more severe ruling of the loss of
the ball.
2. All ineligible players must
remain on the line of scrimmage
until after the pass is thrown.
The penalty for this will be 15
yards and the loss of the down.
These changes would encourage
an Increased use of the "shovol"
pass, according to Walter R. Oke
son of I.ehigh university, chairman
of the rules committee.
