Armed Services Will Benefit From Approaching Bowl Games
New York dispatch reports college football will allocate gate receipts from the January 1 bowl games to war charities and service programs. The Rose Bowl leads with a $45,000 deduction for servicemen’s recreational facilities overseas, with Washington and Southern California sharing the remaining proceeds along with other Coast Conference schools. Randolph Field’s Army Air Forces drive plans to raise funds for 12,000 tickets for servicemen, while New Mexico and Southwestern Texas split their Sun Bowl purse 50-50 for war charity donations. East-West game hopes to give another $68,000 to Shrine hospitals, with portions to war charities. Sugar and Orange Bowls forego cash gifts but offer reduced-price tickets. Sugar Bowl faces a $50,000 price tag to serve men, and Orange Bowl must rely on seat losses and reduced pricing. War bond drives and film showings accompany ticket campaigns, totaling multi‑million dollar aims.
