SOUTHS BID FOR TWO I ROSE BOWL GAMES FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov. 21. A plan to "blanket the Rose Bowl" with two stellar; football attractions the Saturday before New Years and the Monday following was announced here today by Elliott Roosevelt, son of the President, and Curtis Sanford, originator of the Cotton Bowl Football game. Invitations will be sent to Tennessee, Oklahoma, Carnegie Tech, Pittsburgh, Duke, Notre Dame and other outstanding teams of the nation to participate in the double feature attraction. The Southwests representatives in the games will be Texas Tech, which will play in the Saturday game, and the Southwest Conference champion, expected to be Texas Christian. Both Tech and T. C. U. are undefeated this season. Tech has yet to play Marquette and T. C. U. has Southern Methodist remaining on its schedule. S. M. U. also has a chance at the conference title, while Tech, running virtually as an independent is a top heavy favorite to finish the season unbeaten. It has won its only two scheduled games in the border conference. The Cotton Bowl stadium in Dallas, where the games are to be held as features of the week-long cotton festival, will be enlarged to seat 75,000 fans. As an added inducement to outside schools to take part in the game, an addition of 0,000 or more to the school -expense funds was promised by Sanford. - ,
