Page Six TIMES-NEWS, TWIN FALLS, IDAHO Wednesday, December 27, 1944 EDEN FALLS OFF UNDEFEATED LIST Red Grange Would Like to Be Different but Fears Bookies Have Bowl Games Dead Right By RED GRANGE The Original Man-in-Motion Written for NEA Service PASADENA, Dec. 27 Southern California is a 1-to-4 or 20-point favorite over Tennessee in the Rose bowl on Year's day. Duke is given a two-touchdown margin over Alabama in the New Orleans Sugar bowl. Georgia Tech is Judged a touchdown stronger than their rematch in the Miami Orange, bowl. Oklahoma A.
and M. is considered 20 points better than Texas Christian in the Dallas Cotton bowl. As much as I would like to be different, I fear the books have the correct slant. They usually do, as a lot of people were convinced when they refused to string along with them and myself, after I warned what would happen to Navy in the Army game. I can't help but remind you that I called the big one right on the dot.
As for the most worth while of all New Year's attractic.is the EastWest Shrine hospital game at Kezar stadium, San Francisco -I like the East. For the very good reason that in this third war year little Andy Kerr, George Hauser and Bernie Bierman have the pick of more and superior athletes, led by the versatile and resourceful Les Horvath of Ohio State. Callanan is Replaced It has been said and written that Tennessee is being led to slaughter, and that's the case from where I sit, as Southern California bids for its eighth straight victory in the Tournament of Roses without its star of a year ago, George Callanan, out with a bad knee. Tailback Callanan's loss hurts, but by no means wrecks. Bob Morris is a speedy and capable replacement.
The Trojans have. in Capt. Jim Hardy one of the more skillful passers and quarterbacks and Draft to Hit College Stars WASHINGTON, Dec. 37 (AP) College athletics as well as professional sports will be hit by Jimmy Byrnes' crackdown on 4-F athletes. College stars in this classification will be reviewed by selective service right along with professional This came today from the office of the war mobilization director, who has asked selective to check the physical qualifications of professional athletes in view of the manpower shortage.
College athletics were not mentioned in Byrnes' letter to Selective Service Director Hershey, but the White House explained yesterday that "it applies to everybody." Asked specifically if that college athletes who are 4-F, Byrnes' office said that it does. Almost every college in the country still participating in war-time sports will feel the effect. Football in particular is vulnerable. Teams playing in bowl games New Year's day are spearheaded by athletes who have been rejected for service. In many instances, a 4-F plays alongside a service trainee.
But another phase of Byrnes' double-barreled action in which he cracked down on all horse and dog racing, will not be applied to college sports. In calling on race tracks to close up, Byrnes pointed out that urgently needed transportation facilities were being used at the tracks. There is no intention this time. of extending this transportation restriction to big college football games, Byrnes' office said. This apparently leaves the bowl games free to be played without further government limitations, and games next fall may not be affected.
Duck Season Ends Jan. 1 BOISE, Dec. 27-Season for shooting ducks and geese throughout Idaho ends Jan. 1, 1945. Birds may be shot on New Year's day.
That is the final date. The season is 10 days longer than it has been for several years, and in most parts of Idaho has been successful from the hunter's standpoint. Ducks and geese may be kept in possession 45 days after Jan. 1. The possession limit is 20 ducks in the aggregate of all kinds, plus 10 or in the aggregate of mallard, pintail, or widgeon.
The possession limit can include not more than one wood duck. Four Canadian geese may be possessed. No Upland Bird Limit There is no time limit on possession of upland birds or game animals legally taken. Violations of migratory bird laws have been more numerous this winter. Night shooting has caused difficulties in, several areas.

Bodies of at least eight have been found. Several arrests have been made for possession of swan. There is no open season on swan or any white goose.
Trapping to End Trapping of several kinds of fur comes to an end in some districts Dec. 31.

Coach Terms Acequia Cage Tour Successful Southern Tennessee California- Tulsa TechGeorgia every advantage, including navy and marine trainees and tradition, easily could prevail by as many as five touchdowns. Duke tackled the best, acquitted itself creditably. The Blue Devils certainly were the finest losing club in the country, finishing like Whirlaway in the stretch. Eddie Cameron has stickout backs in Tom Davis and Gordon Carver and is strong in the middle.
As in the case of Army against the Dukes, Alabama will have to pass and run outside to get anywhere in particular. Like Tennessee, Alabama started from scratch following a year's layoff. Durl. has the Navy and margin, figures to prevail by touchdowns. Hurricanes Can't Take It Tulsa pours it on, but can't take it.
While the Golden Hurricanes have no Glenn Dobbs or Clyde Leforce in their back field this trip, not once have they failed to score enough to win two or three games. On the two occasions when they bumped into class, however, Oklahoma A. and M. and Iowa pre-flight rolled up 46 and 47 points, respectively, on successive week-ends. Georgia Tech has a perfect record in four bowl ventures.

However, the Indians Marine three What little hope that Ye Olde Sports Scrivener had that the Magic Valley would see some Pioneer league baseball this coming summer has gone glimmering now the war situation has seen to that. When the pudgy one left Pocatello after the November meeting of the Pioneer league moguls, there remained that one chance in 100 that the league would resume play next spring.
The war situation wasn't 80 terribly bad and there was a slight possibility that the nazis would crack, thereby releasing some manpower for baseball that could not otherwise be had. This ancient word puddler believes that even the baseball moguls who then turned their thumbs down on a resumption believed that they'd be called back some time in February and plans made for baseball. But there's no chance of that now. Even the most optimistic believes the end of the war is in the far distant future and that instead of manpower being released to baseball it will be continually subtracted. There is a possibility that this drain upon the athletic world will be such that the major leagues may find it necessary to suspend.
There has been a change of heart Washington. They are beginning to see, and rightly, that if a youngster can participate in rigorous athletic competition that, despite what the doctors say, he's able to bear. armsjust like your lad and mine. That's the mood that the nation has been put in by the reverses in Germany. It has come almost overnight.
You can feel it in the air. The war is the No. 1 business and there's no time for athletics that provide only amusem*nt. If athletics must be had, let them be turned into the war channel. Use them only to prepare youths in body mind for the business at hand, and that business is the war.
