Villanova Rejects "Bowl" Bid

PHILADELPHIA--Villanova College, chagrined because its undefeated but tied Wildeats were not offered any of the larger football "Bow" bids, today refused an invitation to meet Texas Tech in the Cotton Bow at Dallas, Tex., Jan. 2.

Coach Clipper Smith, whose Wildeat teams have been tied but undefeated in 20 games since 1936, voiced the opinion that Texas Tech "was on the upgrade" but that Villanova had hoped for a crack at Texas Christian, Carnegie Tech "or a team of that calibre."
