Five of Nation’s Major
Unbeaten 11s Bowl Bound
Although none of the unbeaten
By JOB REICHLER
NEW YORK. Nov. 24 — Ex-
cept for ell-conquering Notre
Dame and once-tied Pennsylvania,
five of the notion's seven undefeat
ed major college football teams to-
day were either bowl-bound or
were awaiting “feelers" to partici-
pate in post-season clashes.
Three of these elite elevens,
Michigan and Southern Methodist,
each with a spotless slste, snd
once-tied Southern California al-
ready were “in" no matter what
happened from here on in The
other two, unscathed Penn State
and once-deadlocked Kansas,
haven't received any definite of-
fers but both were reported being
under consideration for appearanc-
es in bowl games.
Undefeated Notre Dame already
has announced its antipathy to-
ward any post season games ss
has once-tied Penn Esch still has
one game to play on its regular
season schedule, the Irish meet-
ing Southern California in a deci-
aive game Dec. 6, and the Quakers
engaging Cornell in a traditional
Thanksgiving day game
No matter what the outcome of
the Notre Dame-USC game a week
from Saturday, the Trojans will
face Michigan in the Rose bowl at
Pasadena, Calif., New Year's Day,
Saturday's 6-0 win over U.C.L.A.
Insured it for the Trojans The
Wolverines clinched their entry
- last week, when they swamped. Wis-
—consin for the Big Nine title. The
21-0 triumph over Ohio State day
before yesterday had no bearing.
Southern Methodist, the last of
the four unbeaten and untied
teams, is s certainty to be the host
team in the,Cotton Bowl at Dallas.
Tex., Jan. 1. The Cotton Bowl
takes the Southwest conference
champion as host team SMU has
not yet clinched the title but can
do so by besting Texss Christian
next Saturday.
However, victory over Baylor
insured the Mustangs' appearance
in the bowl since only Texss could
tie SMU for the title should the
once-beaten Longhorns best Texss
A. & M. Thanksgiving day and it
SMU lost to T C.U. precedent calls
for the team that lost to the other
during the season to withdraw
from the Cotton bowl picture in
ease of a tie.
Although Jordan C. Ownbypres-
ident of the Cotton Bowl Athletic
Association, has stated that the
guest team has not been decided
as yet, it is felt that Penn State
would get the nod Penn State con-
cluded ita first undefeated, untied
season since 1212 Saturday by wal-
loping Pittsburgh 29-0.
Other schools under considera-
tion include Georgis Tech, Missis-
sippi snd Kansas. A committee is
expected to go over all available
teams today. .
Kansas, sharing the Big Six
conference title with Oklahoma,
was being mentioned prominently
not only for the Cotton bowl, but
for the Sugar and Orange bowls
While Jayhawk Athletic Director
E. C. Quigley could not be reached
for comment. Coach George Sauer
said be had heard nothing about a
bowl bid
Kansas, with one more game to
play, is on the way to its best sea-
son since 1908 when it won nine
and lost one. The Jayhawks earned
the Big Six tie by conquering Mis-
souri 20-14 Saturday while Okla-
homa was eking out a 14-13 win
over Nebraska

Could Land
Bowl Bids
By WILBUR MARTIN
Associated Press Staff
The Southwest conference was
thinking about bowl teams today
and a couple of games this week
fit neatly into the scheme.
Southern Methodist university is
already assured host spot in the
Cotton bowl, while Texas snd Rice
could lend post-season bids by
thumping Texas AAM and Baylor
respectively this week
The undefeated, untied South-
ern Methodist Mustangs scored all
of their points in the finsl five
minutes in clinching a tie for the
conference crown against Baylor
last week. 10-0.
The Ponies plsy Texss Christian
university Saturday, but a defeat
would only spoil their record. They
gained the right to enter the home-
town Dallas classic on the win.
Texas, the team which could share
the championship should Southern
Methodist lose, dropped its only
game of the season to the Mus-
tangs—14-13.______
Rice, which has snapped an ear-
ly season slump, took over third
place in the conference standings

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24—Sling-
in’ Sammy Baugh, darling of
Washington football fans for 11
seasons. Sunday was honored by
the nation’s leaders, civic clubs and
just plain Joe Fan as 35,362 spec-
tators rocked Griffith stadium with
roaring approval of the, gridiron
deeds of the famed Texas tosser.
Coremonies were held before the
professional football game between
the Redskins. Baugh’s team, and
Chicago Cardinals. Slingin’ Sammy
showed his appreciation for the
lavish gifts and praise bestowed on
him by turning in his most bril-
liant exhibition of his career as he
threw .six touchdown passes to
spark his team to an upset 45-21
victory over the heavily favored
league leaders of the western di-
vision.
The Sammy Baugh Day, sponsor-
ed by the Washington Touchdown
Club, was marked by a presenta-
tion speech by Attorney General
Tom Clark. Taking note of his fel-
low Texan’s brilliant football ca-
SMU Likely To
Name Foe Today
For Cotton Bowl
DALLAS. Nov 24 —
The
team that will play Southern Meth-
odist in the Cotton Bowl ia due
to be named today and there are
strong indications that it will be
undefeated, untied Penn State.
Such a clash would be the only
bowl game in the country with
two elevens boasting perfect rec-
ords -that is. If Southern Metho-
dist beats Texas Christian Satur-
day in the last game on the sched-
ule Penn State already has finish-
ed the season
Coach Matty Bell of Southern
Methodist said he would ask his
reer. Clark added: “We honor Sam-
my Baugh not only because he is
great on the gridiron but because
he is humble. Even though he is
the greatest passer of all time be
is Sammy Baugh It’s a privilege to
present him with his fine station
wagon.”
The station wagon, a beautiful,’
red Packard, was inscribed: “Sling-
in" Sam, the Redskin Man." The
car carried number 33 on the li-
cense tag, the famed number that
has marked Baugh for his 11 sen-
’national years as a professional
player. Oddly enough, 33 seems to
have quite a bearing on Sammy’s
destiny. He’s 33 years old this year
and in putting on his greatest ex-
hibition. Baugh threw 33 passes of
which he completed 25 for 355
yards net gained.
Just after the National anthem
had been played, the go-piece Red-
skin band broke into “the Eyes of
Texas", as the vast crowd roared its
tribute to the slim, lanky Baugh
whot trotted out to the field. An
opening speech was made by Ar-
thur J "Dutch" Bergman, former
Notre Dame football star and one-
time Redskin coach. Then came an-
other tribute from Lee Arries, pres-
ident of the sponsoring Touchdown
Club.
Finally, Baugh himself stepped
to the microphone. It was some-
thing of an occasion to bear Baugh
speak because Slingin' Sammy is
notoriously shy and generally
avoids “speechin’.”
His rumbling voice spiked with
emotion, Sammy made his speech
short and sweet. “It’s been a great
pleasure to play for you, he said,
and t think-you’re the greatest
bunch of fans 1 ever had the op-
portunity to play before Thank
you from the bottom of my heart."
With that, Sammy set about to re-
pay the fans’ kindness by giving
them a day to remember
in addition to hie car. Baugh al-
so received an oil painting of him-
self in his familiar passing poet
The quiet Baugh, considered the
greatest passer that ever lived, now
has a ranch in Rotan, Texas. He
