  uxysr-SSR s~~-<”~ MICHIGAN IS FIRST CHOICE LOS ANGELES, Nov. 80. = The sports writer’s of this section-a group that has nothing whatever to do with the matter-got together last night and decided that Mich igan, Big Ten conference winner, was the logical opponent for Sou thern California in the coming Tournament of Roses New Years day football game. They decided, too, that Colgate and Pittsburgh were the only al ternatives and Colgate shaded Pitt a bit, although this last announce ment was greeted with plenty of charges of logrolling and ballot stuffing. The occasion Tor all these momentous verdicts was the dinner given by the tournaments football committee to permit newspapermen to witness the formality of South ern California receiving and accept ing an invitation to represent the west in the annual Pasadena Rose Bowl classic. Actually, the Trojans received and gave an affirmative answer to the New Years day bid Immediate ly after they became coast confer ence champions Thanksgiving day by defeating Washington, 9 to 6. Also, as matter of fact, Mich igan, Pittsburgh and Colgate long since have received “feelers” as to their attitude in representing the rest of the nation against the west. The newSpapermen knew all about these things days and days ago but that didn’t Interfere with enthusiastic reception of the an nouncement that Southern Califormia was to play and it didn’t spoil disorder of the balloting. An actual count of the number of newspaper speakers revealed that one more favored Colgate than Pitt as an alternative to Michigan. Southern California, advised by the Rose Bowl officials, will of course make the selection and in vite the eastern opponent to Rose Bowl. At the same time, the group which attended that very fine banquet last night knows the sports situation in this section. Accord ingly, it is a safe bet Michigan is first choice and Colgate and Pitt are almost tied in the runner-up position. Saturday the Big Ten meets and at that time ruling is expected on whether Michigan can come west to be the first Big Ten team to appear in the Rose Bowl game since Ohio State was beaten % to 0 by California in 1921. If Michigan is eliminated the choice will then fall between Pitt and Colgate, with no other teams being considered.
