Show Unbeaten Teams Dwindle; Bowl ' Troubles Grow NEW YORK, Nov. 15 (U.W Diminution of the nation's major ma-jor perfect record football teams to five, one of which says "No thanks I've had some," has the "bowl-game" promoters tearing , their hair today trying to land suitable attractions for their postseason post-season shows. With four established bowl games, headed by the Tournament of Roses festival at Pasadena, and with New York impresarios planning plan-ning a fifth, there aren't enough perfect records to go around now, and there may be fewer after November 26. The clean-slate list is headed by Notre Dame, which is not interested in-terested in a bowl bid because it goes to the coast to play Southern California December 3. This leaves Duke, Tennessee, Texas Tex-as Christian and Oklahoma in the major classification, and there is a good chance that Oklahoma will meet its nemesis against tied but undefeated Iowa State this Saturday, and that Duke will find Pitt's Panthers too tough on the 26th. Tennessee still has a tough nut to crack in Mississippi, and Rice might break T. C. U.'s winning win-ning streak this week end. Since New Year's day falls on Sunday, some of the bowl "classics" will be held over until Monday. This will be the case in the Sugar bowl at New Orleans, said Herbert Benson, president of the Mid-Winter Sports association. |
