  SEVERAL TEAMS WIN BOWL BIDS BEFORE FINALE The 1851 college football season heads into its final big week with almost as many major teams already assured of bowl berths as are on the unbeaten and united list. And it’s highly possible that by sundown Saturday the situation will be reversed, for two of the six re- maining with perfect records face really rugged opposition and third will have its work cut out for it. Oddly enough, the two teams most likely to drop from the unbeaten slate-Tennessee and Stanford-al- ready are assured of action in the Jan. bowl bonanzas. Tennessee, which must meet 1951’s comeback champions, the Kentucky Wildcats, is lined up for the Sugar Bowl, and Stanford, which must go against powerful California, clinched a Rose Bowl bid Saturday by whip ping Oregon State 35–⁠14. Otherwise, the teams with all- winning records should conclude their seasons that way. Maryland, bound for the Sugar Bowl against Tennessee, is heavily favored over West Virginia, Michigan State, No. l team in the land. should romp over Colorado, and San Francisco should have no trouble against Loyola of Los Angeles next Sun day. Michigan State also is out of the bowl picture because of Big 10 rules, but San Francisco is avail able. The other owl-bound team is ; Georgia Tech, due to go to the Orange Bowl. Two games which share the lime light with the Kentucky and Stanford California struggles should give some idea as to the other bowlers. Illinois could clinch the Big 10 title and subsequent Rose Bowl trip by beating : or tieing = North western, and the winner of the Rice-Texas Christian game will take at least temporary lead in the race for Southwest Conference honors and the role of host in the Cotton Bowl But, whoever wins, the Southwest Conference won’t be settled as usual until the final day of the season Dec. l.
