  Football Roundup With the exception of the Army Navy affair and a few scattered games across the country this week, the book was closed today on the 1851 college football season. The participants in two of the four major bowls have been de- cided, and one team has been selec- ted for each of the other two. The concensus seems to be that the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans has the best teams for the annual New Years Day games. The Rose Bowl probably will be next. followed by the Cotton and the Orange. Unbeaten Tennessee, the nations No l team, and Maryland, cur rently ranked No. 4, collide in the Sugar Bowl ard it should be a battle to see. On the basis of it’s stunning 28–⁠0 victory over Ken lucky Saturday. the Vols probably will rule favorites. Maryland, too. scored humping triumph, defeating West Virginia, 54–⁠7. Rose Bowl The Rose Bowl gets Illinois and Stanford, champions, respectively of the Big Ten and Pacific Coast conferences. Neither outfit was ex- pected to finish near the top before the season got under way. California, the September fav- orite on the coast, finally did beat Stanford, 20–⁠7, in the final game of the season for both schools. But it was too late to hurt the Indians in their quest for the title. Illinois made it, but not by much. In fact, it was a field zeal by Sam Rebecca in the I2-degree freeze of Evanston that enabled the Illini to defeat Northwestern, 80, and win the championship. Cotton Bowl The Cotton Bowl will send Ken lucky to battle the cnampiOn OI the Southwest Conference. which has not been decided However, Texas Christian has the inside track at the moment. Their 22–⁠6 deci- sion over Rice Saturday broke first-place tie.
