Show Sports Here and There By Al Ablett Football: Stanford clinched the Rose bowl game by defeating defeat-ing University of California in the final and then chose Nebraska Nebras-ka as their bowl opponents. A great many people might say, "Why Nebraska?" For one reason, rea-son, Nebraska is one of the top flight teams of the country- They won the big ! six championship and besides that they beat Iowa and Indiana from the Big Nine and Pittsburgh in the east- True they lost to -Minnesota in the first game of the season, but who didn't lose to the Gophers? Biff Jones has a big rugged team with plenty of speed and power- I think the Rose bowl patrons this year will see a better bet-ter team in Nebraska than they saw in Tennessee last year. The Sugar bowl has matched two of the nation's unbeaten or untied teams in Tennessee and Boston college. This game should be a real tough test for both squads. Neither one has had a very hard schedule. Boston Bos-ton college had Georgetown to get over and Tennessee had Alabama. Both teams should go to the wars on New Year's day at full strength. To try and pick a winner at this early day would be foolish, because too many things can happen between now and New Year's day. It does look like an even match. In the Orange bowl it is Mississippi Missis-sippi State against Georgetown. Mississippi State has one of the finest teams in the south. From all accounts this boy Johnson is a standout back in a season that produced as fine a se,t of ball carriers, as hr-': come along in many years. Georgetown has lost one game since 1937, that was this year, to Boston college by one point- A great game is in store for the fans down in Miami-The Miami-The Cotton bowl brings together to-gether Fordham and the team to be selected from the Southwestern South-western conference. No doubt it will be Texas Aggies. If the Aggies are selected the Cotton bowl, in my estimation, will have two of the country's outstanding out-standing teams. The Sun bowl has Arizona Teachers playing Western Reserves Re-serves of Cleveland. Two of the better teams from the small schools. I will try and give the Bulletin readers some dope on the individual teams from now until game time- Basketball The high school has started to practice in earnest for the opening of the season and Coach Warren G. (Sonny) All-sop All-sop has a large squad out. They are mostly new men and what they will do under fire remains to be seen. Stan Long, Sergio Alvarez and Frank Nelson are the letter men backt There are some good looking new boys in the material Sonny has to work with. They have a number of practice games lined up starting this week-end. Gemmell club has decided not to enter any league this year. They are going to play independent ball. Games have been booked with all the strong Utah teams and they will play all of the strong traveling teams. I believe in this way they will be able to show the Bingham fans a better brand of basketball. A. J- Boberg has been appointed appoint-ed manager for his second term-The term-The team under him last year won the Industrial league championship champ-ionship and was ranked as one of the strongest clubs in Utah. Bo has about 15 men out and from these he will pick a squad of ten. So the boys are going at top speed in hopes of being one of the ten selected. Gemmell loses a good man in Dick Marsh, the six-foot-three inch guard who received a contract from the House of David. Dick will make them a good man. At a meeting following practice prac-tice Wednesday the Gemmell squad elected Marlowe Turpin, their star forward, as captain- Boxing Gemmell club members mem-bers were treated to a swell boxing box-ing and wrestling card last Saturday Sat-urday evening. Johnny Candia and Bill Fowler fought the main event in the boxing end of the show and for three rounds it was as close as the bread in a drug store sandwich. In the fourth round Fowler showed why he won the Golden Gloves championship champ-ionship in the lightweight division divis-ion by opening up with a two-fisted two-fisted attack that had Candia reeling, and just before the bell Bill sent a right to Johnny's whiskers that put the Garland boy down- No doubt the bell saved him from a knockout and beat Fowler out of a KO, al-(Centinued al-(Centinued on page eight) SPORTS HERE AND THERE ' By Al Ableli (Continued from page one) though hp got the unanimous decision. Del Kunkel beat Dobey Osborne Os-borne two falls out of three in the main event of the wrestling show. The fight between K. O. Lip-sey Lip-sey of M. level and Cyclone Shannon of D dump stole the show. Both boys are from Bingham and it ended in a draw. Billy Conn beat Lee Savold last Friday and he beat nim easy. ! But someone should tell Conn that Savold is no Joe Louis. Conn is just too small 'for Joe and he can't hit hard enough to punch his way out of a paper ba. He would do all right until a champ caught him, then it would be just too bad. I still say the iigiit game needs cleaning up. Hymie Caplin, manager man-ager of Lew Jenkins, the lightweight light-weight champion, has been indicted in-dicted for swindle. It seems as though he furnished the bank roll for a bunch of card sharps. Hymie has managed five world's champions, so you would think he would have money enough without stooping so low as to be mixed up with a gang of card sharps, wouldn't you? This sort of thing sure doesn't do the fight game any good. This column picked an all-American all-American team, just as a guess as to what men would make Colliers, United Pross and Associated As-sociated Press teams. Our choice differed on the concensus team of the three sources mentioned on two positions. Goodreault of Boston at end and Bauman of Northwestern at tackle were favored fav-ored over Odson of Minnesota, tackle, and Frutig of Michigan, end |
