YOU LOOK AT THE record and you have to go along with
Green Bay. The Packers won big last year. They were practic-
ally unbeatable this year. They have a more balanced attack,
while New York depends upon Y’. A. Tittle’s passing arm to a
great extent.
But the Giants should have learned one thing from\the
Detroit-Green Bay game—how to heat the Packers. The Dions
did it with a punishing type of defensive line rush, just the type
of line play the New York forwards should be able to do. The
Lion defensive line accounted for eight points.
If the New York line can repeat that feat of the Lions, it
could he enough. Never say there’s fear in this corner. The hunch
here is that the Giants will do it.

Green Bay defensive halfback,

may explain part of it.
The Giant running game is
not up to the passing arrack
but Webster, a big eat, is a
iirst-down maker of rare skill
and Phil King is a stampeding
type when he has a chance to
shift into high.
Joe Morrison, strong and
nimble, is the principle Giant
backfield reserve.
The Giant defense was hum-
bled last year by the Packers
and it has rankled for 12
months. These are proud men.
They are strong men. They
are pros. They will put out
today as they rarely have.
There will be something., extra

Although the decline of West

Best Record
The Pacific coast hasn’t had
it so good in years and South-
ern California is out to em-
bellish the record against Wis-
consin in Pasadena on New
Yean’e-Dayt---•
McKay, the realist, had to
agree. No fewer than 27 of the
young men who hjelped win 10
straight games will return.
The only losses of conse-
quence are Ben Wilson, the
fullback who mthe Los Angeles
Rams drafted a year ago; Marv
Marinovich, a tackle; and Ken
Del Conte, whom McKay calls
his most formidable linebacker
southern California.
Junior All-Americas
Among the illustrious lads
coming back are two who were
named to the All-America team
as juniors. They are the 6-foot-
5, 225-pound end Hal Bedsole
and Damon Bame, a line back-
er.
“The best thing that Bedsole
does,” said McKay in answer
to a' question, “is run with the
ball after he catches it. He is
a very superior pass catcher
and do you know that he was
a quarterback in high school
and junior college? He can
throw the ball a far piece, too,
but he’s too valuable on the
other end.”
Southern California is some-
thing hi the way of assurance
to run over the Pacific coast
—not for another year at least.

By Associated Press
There have been a lot of
brother acts in the big leagues
and at one time there were
three of the DiMaggios play-
ing at one time but never on
the same team.
There is an excellent chance
this year or next that the
brothers Alou—three of them
all will be wearing the uni-
form of the San Francisco Gi-
unts.
Two of them—Felipe and
Matty—are now. And the third
19-year-old Jesus Alou, may be
soon. The youngest Alou has
been ripping the ball all over
the place in t h e Venezuelan
league. At last look he was bat-
ting better than .400.
In a couple of years of low-
er minor league experience,
young Alou has never hit less
than .336.
He has the same speed and
ball-hawk ability of his two old-
er brothers and it is not incon-
ceivable that one day all three
Alous may be flanking each
other on the picket line.
It could even be this year or
next, except for one small
thing. . . the Giants have a guy
named Wilile Mays who looks
pretty solid in the outfield for
a while. Wilile is 31 years old
which is quite a bit more than
any of the Alous. But he still
looks good for quite a few
years of play.
fumbling.
Badgers Hit Quick
With its big punch on of-
fense, Wisconsin likes to score
early and keep pressure on the
other team. It is most easly
scored on in the fourth quart-
er but it did .rally in that last
period to puli out the pivotal
Minnesota game which gave
the Badgers the Big Ten title.
There is no question about
j the fact the Badgers will go to
the Rose Bowl determined to
bring a victory back to the
Big Ten. They are not happy
over those two previous losses.
Another factor in the game
will be ithat Wisconsin can
claim the unofficial national
title if it defeats Southern
Cal. It isn’t often that you
have this situation in a bowl
game, the number one school
meeting the runner-up.
Southern Cal probably will
key its defense on the tall
Richter. If it doesn’t this tal-
ented catcher may drive the
Trojans crazy.
