The Cotton Bowl probably will not be a sellout for the third time in five years.

Officials have already given up hope that all the tickets will be sold for the Jan. 1 game between UCLA and Texas A&M.;

The Cotton Bowl, which has a capacity of 68,252, was far from being sold out for the 1996 game between Colorado and Oregon and narrowly missed selling out when Texas A&M; met Notre Dame in 1994.

Fewer than 45,000 showed up for the 1996 game played in bad weather.
