FilmTrade
imAg"reed Upon
LOS ANGELES (-) - Big Ten
and Pacific Coast Conference foot-
ball teams which still have a
chance of playing in the Rose
Bowl game have agreed to ex-
change films of any two 1956
games, in lieu of - scouting.
A joint announcement by the
two conferences said this was the
result.of negotiations between the
commissioners of the PCC and the
Big Ten. The agreement is the
same as last year's

The- Illini are reputed to be
more solid than they were last
year. Hampered by weak lines, they
had not been able to utilize their
great backfield speed over the
past few years. This year, however,
Elliot has developed a better-than-
average forward wall.
Illini Inconsistent
This, of course, adds to the
disappointment which Illinois par-
tisans have felt this year. Although
Eliot's squad is currently riding
below .500, the Illini are inconsis-
tent enough to give any team fits
on a given day.
They've already proved this-
against MSU.
From end-to-end, the visitors
will average 209 lbs., or four
pounds per man more than the
host Wolverines, who have a simi-
lar weight advantage in the back-
field.
Quarterbacking Improved
The visitors were supposed to
have one glaring weakness in their
backfield at the beginning of the
season-the quarterback position
-but they apparently have solved
it. Sophomore Bill Offenbecher has
developed quickly in the signal-
calling operation.
Illinois is not known as a pass-
ing team, but Michigan has pre-
pared for an aerial barrage, if
it should come. Michigan coach.
Ben Oosterbaan, however, is most
concerned with the lightning-fast
halfbacks of the Orange and Blue.
In the series which began in
1898 with a 12-5 Michigan victory,
the two teams have played 41
times, Michigan winning 25 games
and the Illini 15, including five
Wolverine-Illini clashes have been
decisive-there have been no ties.!

Several Bowl Seetns May Be Made
On Basis of Today's College Results

By GARY PECK
The bowl promoters should be
able to get busy after today's foot-
ball results are in and the vari-
ous conference races are unrav-
elled.
The winner of the clash between
two perfect-record teams, Georgia
Tech and Tennessee, today at At-
lanta, Ga., can have its pick of
Sugar or Cotton Bowls.
Gb.; gia Tech, ranked number
two nationally, will be sparked by
its speedy halfback, George Volk-
ert. Injuries have kept Volkert
sidelined for most of the season,
but it looks now as if he'll be near
top speed for the invading Volun-
teers, the nation's number three
team. Tech ,is favored by a touch-
down.
"Volkert adds a lot to our of-
fense," Coach Bobby Dodd said.
"He is such a fast, smart runner
that he is a threat to go all the
way every time he handles the
ball. No one else on our team can
match him for pure speed."
Tennessee can counter with a
deadly all-the-way threat of its
own in All-America hopeful, John-
ny Majors. Vol foes this season can
vouch that Majors is pure poison
on a run-or-pass option play from
Tennessee's single wing.
Both squads have a great deal
of experience and know-how.
Georgia Tech has only three play-
ers missing from the two starting
teams of a year ago which lost
only to Auburn by two points and
defeated Pittsburgh in the Sugar
Bowl. Tennessee is also blessed
with three experienced men at the
all-important tailback position
and a hefty, magnificently-condi-
tioned line.
The game itself promises to be a
very close-knit battle. Tennessee
and Tech have met two common
opponents so far this season, Au-
burn and Duke. The Vols defeated
Auburn, 35-7, and Duke, 33-20,
w h e r e a s the Yellow Jackets
downed Auburn, 27-7, and Duke,
7-0.

scouts, was promised clear, cool
weather for this battle of unbeat-
en,teams. Last year's game, a 50,-
000 sellout in Knoxville, ended in a
7-7 tie, leaving Tech with an 8-5
margin in the series.
The Pacific Coast Conference
will probably elect the winner of
today's Oregon State-Stanford
tussle as its representative in the
Rose Bowl. Led by the effective
passing of John Brodie, Stanford
may be expected to beat Oregon
State. The Indians also have a
ICE-SKATING CLASSES
All men interested ni signing
up for either beginning or in-
termediate ice-skating should
register for these classes in
Room 4 at Waterman Gymna-
sium. Classes will be held at,
10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on
Mondays and Wednesdays and
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
stout defensive line, a pair of ex-
cellent ends and big and fast run-
ning backs.
So far this season both teams
have been defeated once in con-
ference -play. Oregon State, on
one hand, lost to Southern Cal.
and beat UCLA, while on the oth-
er hand, Stanford beat the Tro-
jans and lost to the Uclans.
The Texas Aggies will practi-
cally clinch the Southwest Con-
ference title if they can get past
the Southern Methodist challenge

at Dallas. A trip to the Cotton
Bowl is doubtful, however, unless
the Aggies' probation is lifted. The
Mustangs appear to be the big-
gest obstacle left on the Aggies'
road to the championship.
The combination of Jack Pardee
at fullback and John Crow at
halfback gives A&M a powerful
one-two punch. The Aggies' vic-
tory over TCU, last year's South-
west Conference champs, cata-
pulted them into the role of fa-
vorites in the conference race.
A victory at Maryland probably
would move Clemson into the Or-
ange Bowl as the Atlantic Coast
Conference champs. On the basis
of this season's play, Clemson
must be given the nod as favorite.
As of today the Tigers are unde-
feated, but do have one tie with
Flordia to mar their record.
In another very closely-rated
game, Vanderblit's Commodores
meet Kentucky's Wildcats. Van-
derbilt was hurt quite a bit at
graduation and, as aresult,thas
an inexperienced team, which is
just now beginning to show some
signs of life.
Kentucky, however, has strength
on the ground and a good pass de-
fense. The Wildcats should be able
to cinch the game.
Oklahoma can't go to the Or-
ange Bowl even if it wins its 37th
straight at Iowa State and keeps
on winning the rest of the season.
The reason: The. Sooners went last
year.
