NEW ORLEANS SUGAR BOWL PITTSBURGH, Pa., Nov. 29. The lineup in the Sugar Bowl football game in New Orleans on January 2 will be Carnegie Tech versus Texas Christian. Carnegie Tech authorities announced today they had accepted the Sugar Bowl bid. Permission to accept was granted yesterday by the board of trustees. The trustees gave the athletic authorities permission to accept any post season bowl bids, the most attractive of which was for the Sugar Bowl. Selection of Texas Christian as the opponent met with the approval of head coach Bill Kern of Carnegie Tech. When the first invitations and feelers arrived, Kern expressed a desire to meet the horned frogs of Texas. Texas Christian finished its season undefeated and untied and was a strong contender for an invitation to the Rose Bowl game until Duke University was selected by the Coast authorities. Duke climaxed its brilliant season by defeating Pitt in Durham last Saturday, thus hanging up an undefeated, untied and unscored on record. Carnegie Tech will resume practice on December 12 in a local armory. Training was broken after the Thanksgiving Day battle with North Carolina State at Raleigh. The trip to New Orleans will begin December 19, the final day of school preceding the Christmas holidays. The famous Carnegie Tech band attired in Scottish kilts and the entire football squad of forty-three players will be taken to New Orleans school authorities announced.
