After counting up the damage, newshawks agreed that Dartmouth, Minnesota, Princeton. Southern Methodist and Texas Christian were all strong Eastern Rose Bowl material. Dartmouth, the nation's highest scoring major team, has yet to play Princeton. For the third successive year, Princeton's juvenile journalists derisively flayed the Rose Bowl game, this time as a "commercial classic," summarily counted their team out. Minnesota would probably decline, if asked, because of Big Ten conference rulings. Left as most probable choices were Southern Methodist and Texas Christian...

...florid and spectacular, a gambler's style, based on passes and pure speed. Last month experts thought Rice, Conference champion last year, with an available first string weighing one long ton (2,240 lb.), had the strongest concentration of football manpower in the U. S. Then Southern Methodist became high-scoring team of the country with 148 points to 6 against four opponents.
