  Bowl Pickings Get Simmer NEW YORK Up – The football bowl pickings are getting simmer and simmer as the deadline nears for the selection of the representatives in the post-season gridiron classics. Another conference bowed out of the picture officially last night when the faculty committee of the Big Seven ruled to abide by the circuits present rule which prohibits any post-seaSon competition. That action put a quietus on reports that Oklahoma and possibly some other members of the confer ence would seek permission to play on New Years Day. Once-beaten Oklahoma had been mentioned as a possible participant in the Sugar, Cotton and Orange Bowls. AS the situation now stands only the Rose Bowl is definitely set with the Pacific Coast Conference winner, probably Southern Califor. MIA or U.C.L.A., opposing the Big 10 champion. The Cotton Bowl is sure of the Southwest Conference titleholder as the host team. Right now Texas is in line for that honor. Georgia Tech, powerhouse of the South. eastern League has accepted an invitation to play in the Sugar Bowl. If Florida gets past Tennessee Saturday, then the Gators can look for an Orange Bowl bid. They have lost to Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech but only by a combined mar gin of 10 points. The Vols of Ten nessee, with 81 record. also have eyes on one of the major bowls. Mississippi, another member Of the Southeastern Conference, like. wise is looking downward but the Rebels have a Saturday engage. ment with powerful Maryland. The Terrapins themselves would like very much to travel to the sunny climes on Jan. / but they are on probation for playing in the Sugar Bowl last New Years Day and are not likely to risk additional punish ment by the Southern Conference. Even the pickings among the in dependents are not plentiful. Without attempting to list them in order of possible preference the leading eligibles include Pitts burgh, Syracuse and Holy Cross and possibly Villanova – all East ern outfits. Pittsburgh has defeats by Okla homa and West Virginia on the wrong side. Syracuse has dropped two, one to Boiling Field and the other to No. i ranked Michigan State. Holy Cross has lost only to Syracuse but has not played an impressive schedule. Villanova def initely was in running until smoth. cred 42–⁠6 last week by Tulsa.
