LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23—(UP)—With a pair of taco
panties flying bravely from the cowcatcher of their special
train, the Duke football players arrive here tomorrow for the
I ' battle of the lingerie" with Southern California.
Not in history of the Rose Bowl has a visiting team arrived
under such an odd emblem. Eastern teams have come flying
American, state, university, and even city, flags, but -none has
ever come to do battle under the bargee of the boudoir.
