Dope Braces for shock.
The dope must brace for a num-,
Der of shocks today. Last Satur-
day the count was % to in the
way of favorable results. with four
ties. The big upsets were Column
bia. Rutgers and Dartmouth Syr-
acuse lost her chance while ham,
,mering at Pittsburgh's goal. an in
tercepted pass, with an s0-yard run,
turning near,victory into Tar nearer
defeat. Harvard was doped at one
touchdown above Centre, and, elm.
mating an early tumble on Centres
4-yard line. these figures were
about correct.
But this Is a tougher day. Those
first five selections alone are enough
to leave one dizzy when you fig-
ure the way footboll game can
be turned upside down in a flash.
The Penn State-Syracuse contest
at the Polo Grounds is one of the
hardest of the lot to pick.
Both machines have a world of
Syracuse hasn't struck its top
stride. When It does, any team
might as well look out.
Some Hand Ones.
The strong Army team will bring
a real war to New Haven, where
Yale is much stronger entrenched
than the Blue was against Iowa.
Yale has a strong machine to
stop, but we pick the Bulldog to
win after another typical Yale
Army battle, hard fought and ex-
citing to the final play.
Princeton has been moving stead
lily forward, with fine results up to
date'from a team that was shorn Of
so many veterans and so many
stars. The Tiger will give Chicago
a first class battle, but the heavier
attacking Maroon team figures to
win by one or two touchdowns. But
there will be no Western romp.
Dartmouth always feeds Harvard
the best she has. but Cambridge
overshadows Hanover and the
Crimson has too much power for the
Green.
One Of the Closest.
When Georgia Tech and Notre
Dame meet there will be quite
enough thrills to carry over the
week end.
The first inclination here was to
pick Notre Dams. But Georgia
Tech seems to be two touchdowns
stronger at home than she is on
the road, and Georgia Tech at home
has been almost unbeatable. Both
elevens should score. but unless
Tech breaks down before Rockne's
bewildering passing game. the
Southern team should pull through.
The Navy and Penn are In for a
fine scrap, but the Navy has too
much line and backfield power, plus
experience. for Penn to have any
great chance of winning.
4, Penn has been coming along
nicely. but the Navy looks to be
one of the star machines OF the
year. with big line and three or
four fast. experienced backs.
Out West.
In the conference whirl Michigan
should beat Illinois in the big game
of the day. in spite of severe VOL
VERNE losses through the Ohio state
contest, where Yost lost two of his
best.
Illinois gave Iowa all the Hawk
eyes could handle and Iowa was
much further along than she, was
against Yale.
Last Saturday we picked Mime
sofa to beat Northwestern to o.
but Northwestern back recovered
tumble, to run 100 yards for the
tieing touchdown, at to z.
Minnesota has just as hard a game
today against Ohio State, where a
frank confession here must admit
that the chances are almost exactly
equal-but Minnesota is playing at
home.
Up to date the dope standing is
as follows: Correct selections, 81:
incorrect selections. IL. And most
of the upsets came from what SEEM
ed to be the easiest choices-notably
Columbia to beat N. Y. u, Rutgers
