Texas Christian to Meet Carnegie Tech

Fortworth, Nov. 29.

Texas Christian University, outstanding grid machine in the southwest, and Carnegie Tech, leading eastern eleven, will clash in the annual Sugar Bowl game at New Orleans, La., it was announced today.

Howard Grubbs, athletic director of Texas Christian, accepted the invitation to clash in the annual football classic. He accepted the bid from New Orleans after a long night conference during which his committee considered an offer to play in the annual Cotton Bowl game at Dallas.

Texas Christian together with Duke University and Notre Dame are considered the outstanding football teams in the country this season.

The Horned Frogs, who finished sec-and in the southwest conference last year, swept through the loop this season in brilliant manner. Victorious over everyone of its rivals, the Texas Christian University was credited with the most successful season im history because of triumphs over three traditional rivals, Texas, Rice and Southern Methodist.

Carnegie Tech almost had a perfect season. The only spot of its otherwise perfect record is a defeat sufféred early in the season against Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish whipped Carnegie Tech, 7-0, in a game which still is the subject of controversy because of alleged errors on the part of the referee who was blamed for the touchdown which led to the defeat. T This will be the first time that Carnegie Tech will appear in the Sugar Bowl Game, but Texas Christian will be making its second showing in the annual New Year's Day game, Texas 13, Centernary 0 Texa: 21, Arkansas 14 $6; Temple 6 34, Texas A. and M. 6 Marquetie 0
