DUKE TO ROSE BOWL To Play Southern California i On January 2nd It will he Duke vs. Southern California In the football feature of Pasadena's Tournament of I .Hoses on Monday, January 2,] 1939. Southern California was chosen 1 Monday afternoon as the Paeiflej Coast's representative in Hie Kose Bowl game ? and. In what turned j out to be reeevd time, the Trojan ! officials setMed oi^ Duke, issued an ! invitation, received an acceptance.! Southern Conference colleges' had voted Duke a "dispensation" , from the conference's rule prohib iting participating in post -season j fooMiall games. News of Duke's nomination as ? the "Eastern" standard-bearer was flashed front Los Angeles Monday evening within a. very few minutes after Willis O. Hunter, Southern Cal's director of athlet ics. had concluded a telephone i conversation with Wallace Wade. Duke's head coach and - athletic director. In view of the rapidity with which Southern California audi I Duke got together Monday on t'heir Rose Bowl engagement, it I appears safe to say neither blush ed or said "This Is so sudden." Apparently the Trojans, feeling j safe in the West Coast balloting. | had popped the question to Duke a bit ahead of Mine. And Duke had had time to get parental consent. "The sudden announcement broke all recent records in decid- | ing on the Rose Bowl candidates, and brings together t'wo of the finest teams of their respective sections of the nation." read a , paragraph in the Associated Press' tirst bullet'in from Los Angeles j announcing selection of Duke. The news spread quickly in Dur ham, and Duke University stud ents ? waiting and hoping for justj that? proceeded to stage an infor mal celebration. And Mien they , probably began wondering just how they could manage to scrape up the cash for a trip to Calif or-] ilia ? and that's a problem which i will get attention of many North j Carolinians between now and the departure of the Old North State's first "Rose Bowl Special." Duke has completed it? nine ,game schedule ? and there's no j need to remind that the Blue Dev- j lis are undefeated, uutic^> and ' unscored-on. Southern California has one' more game on its regular sched ule ? thr Trojans bat Me Notre i Dame's undefeated Irish at Los Angtles on Saturday of this week.
