  Bowl Picture Taking Shape 1t looks like Jolly Roger Staubach is going to sail the good ship Navy straight into Dallas for a New Years engagement against the land forces Of Tex as in the Cotton Bowl. What would be one of the most attractive bowl pairings in the college football ranks came closer to reality Saturday when Staubach passed the fourth-ranked Middies to a 42–⁠7 trouncing Of Maryland and top ranked Texas kept its perfect record intact by beating Bay lor, 70. Navy can insure a bid by dis posing Of Duke next Saturday and arch-rival Army Nov. 80 while the LonghornS would be in by winning one of their fl nal two games against Texas Christian on Saturday or Texas AIM Thanksgiving Day. The picture for the granddaddy Of all bowl games-the Rose Bowl-was a lot more muddled today although Washington is a good bet to win the host team role after overpowering Califor- MIA, 1926, Saturday. The HuSkles are on top of the Big Six with only weak UCLA and Washington State to come. Close On Heels The Big Ten, which tradition ally sends its champion to Pasadena, Calf, for the Rose Bowl has produced another close race. Michigan State, a $50 vic tor over Purdue, currently is setting the pace with a 4O-1 league mark and the eighth ranked Spartans can clinch at least a tie for the title by beat ing Illinois Nov. %. Close on the heels of the Spar tanS are Ohio State GOD and second-ranked Illinois GID, which dropped its first game of the season Saturday by a 1913 count to Michigan. The Buck eyes lost to Penn State, 1877, in a montague encounter. Ohio State has two conference games left against Northwest ern and Michigan while Illinois must meet Wisconsin and Mich igan State and hope for a slip by one of the leaders. Sixth-ranked Oklahoma and 10th-ranked Nebraska are head ing for an Oct. q climax at Lincoln for the Big Eight crown and a trip to the Orange Bowl. Nebraska, fresh off a 23–⁠9 vic tory over Kansas, first meets Oklahoma State next week and the Sooners, who toppled Iowa State, 24–⁠14, clash with Missouri. Other Strong Candidates The Southeastern Conference, which sent four representatives to bowl games last year, is back with several more potent candidates. Third-ranked Mississippi, which enjoyed a 41–⁠0 rout over Tampa, is leading the race with a meeting against weak Tennessee coming up next week. Other top contenders are fifth ranked Auburn which dropped from the list of perfect record teams by losing to Mississippi State, 1910; seventh-ranked Ala bama, which was idle, and Lou State, a 28–⁠14 winner over Texas Christian. Auburn and Alabama will clash Nov. 80 in what could be a meaningful game. Princeton, which along with Texas and Auburn were the only major college teams to boast perfect records going into last weekend’s action, went the same route as Auburn by suffering a 21–⁠7 upset loss to Harvard. Princeton still enjoys a half game edge in the Ivy League standings with a contest against 4 -. W. CT |
