predict the winners is on us
once again. Things we have read,
things we have heard, bits of dope
gathered hither and yon, all go
to make up our estimate of various
teams chances. If some of the in
formation is not accurate that is
our bad luck.
We have tried as much as
humanly possible not to let
prejudices interfere with our
best judgment based or what
ever information we may have.
In most cases we are relying on
what others have seen and re-
ported. None of the predictions
is guaranteed. So many things
can happen. II anyone was sure
of the outcome of the various
games there would be no need
TO play-nO hope for the under
dog-nO excitement at all.
We will begin right at home.
Luckily we can pick the home
club and will not get in bad right
at the start.
BUTLER should defeat Frank
lin by three touchdowns, at least.
The Baptists probably will not be
able to stop the local back field.
WISCONSIN is likely to de-
feat Purdue in a fierce battle.
The Badgers will gradually wear
down a game Boslermaker
eleven.
NORTHWESTERN must be
given the edge over Indiana, but
Pat Pages teams always have a
chance and an upset is possible.
The Purple, however, is a 2 to l
choice on a local board.
NOTRE DAME should have a
rather easy time with Penn State.
We look for margin of three
touchdowns favoring the Irish"
Rockne's men may not open up
but they will get enough scores
at South Bend to make it de-
Cisive.
1t is always dangerous to pre-
dict a Chicago defeat, but
PENNSYLVANIA looks too
strong and should win by at
least one touchdown.
OHIO STATE appears to have
all the best of it at Columbia. A
great array of backs should make
life miserable for the New York
school. It looks like a couple Of
touchdowns advantage for the
Buckeyes.
ILLINOIS will ramble against
iowa. Zuppke has just about ev-
erything and the decisiveness of
the count is going to surprise
the dOpesters.
MICHIGAN is the choice over
Minnesota but it may be closer
than some imagine. The Gophers
have a pounding attack and the
Wolverines lost three of that
great 1925 line. If Minnesota gets
on the run Michigan will pile up a
score, otherwise look out for a nip
and-tuck affair.
DARTMOUTH at Yale looks
like a tOss-up. From this dis
lance it appears to be the tough
est game in the East. The Dart
mouth team is given the edge"
Both are exceptionally strong
a battle of giants.
The NAVY may surprise Prince
ton. Neither team at this present
moment appears as strong as in
the past. The Tigers always are
slow starters. They were medi-
OGRE in their first two games. 1t is
another even-Stephen affair.
ARMY must be give the slight
margin over Syracuse. But here
is another chance for an upset.
Not many points are going to
separate those two elevens when
the final gun is fired Saturday
evening.
GEORGETOWN is supposed to
have a strong club and so is given
the pre.game verdict over West
Virginia
AS Kansas failed to show a lot
against Wisconsin last week,
KANSAS AGGIES are given the
choice in the Arkansas game,
feature of the Missouri Valley con-
ference.
In the South, Alabama and
Georgia Tech go round and round.
1t is one of those toss-up affairs
as far as advance dope goes. Use
your own judgment. We sorta lean
toward GEORGIA TECH.
After the results come in, kind
ly refrain from writing in any let
tiers telling us how far off we were.
we will realize it and will be told
about it. Undoubtedly there will
be upsets.A There always are.
I~1HE players Of the short
priced favorites have had a
- terrible time of it during
the first three days of the fall
meeting at Latonia, track. The
choices have been going down
with sickening thuds.
Wednesday not a favorite won.
Susan Rebecca, Coohogan and
J. Marrone III were backed to
even money and less, but that did
not make any difference. Susan
was second, Coohogan third and
Joe out of the money.
The form players are gasping
for air and the bank rolls are fast
disannearing II the tables don't
