DOZEN TEAMS IN
 RACE FOR TITLE
Football Championship Aspira.
 tions May Be Wrecked

New York, Nov. 1 QP-Football championship aspirations. sectional or national. that have taken bud in October face the prospect of a kill ing frost, if not a few destructive blizzards from opposition territory in November.
 The array of college elevens hav- ing title hopes of nationwide con- cern as they enter the final month of gridiron campaigning. headed for the storm areas. has dwindled to a select dozen or so of hardy aggrega- tions.
 They can't all weather the big blasts of November but among the foremost teams now are West Point. New York university. Georgetown and Carnegie in the east. Tennessee. Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech in the south, Nebraska, Iowa. Ohio State and Illinois in the middle west, Utah in the rugged Rocky Mountain area and Stanford on the Pacific coast.
 AS it happens there are any num- ber of low pressure areas ahead of most, if not all of these outfits. It is pretty well known that the un- beaten Army faces a succession of blustery afternoons against such teams as Notre Dame. Nebraska and Stanford before the final returns are tabulated on the cadet cham pionship claims.
 All that Stanford has to do in order to come east for the Army battle with clean college slate is to trim Southern California this Sat- urday and then mop up Santa Clara. Washington and California. If there are any soft spots" there, Pop Warmers men would like to known about it.
 The hopes of New York university or Georgetown should be abruptly settled this week. These two SCOT ing hurricanes will swirl into each other and the shock should be felt for some distance beyond the con- fines of the Yankee Stadium.
 No matter which wins, however it will have additional storm sig. nals ahead. N. Y. Us remaining list of opponents includes Missouri. unbeaten Carnegie and the Oregon Agsies. Georgetown plays Carnegie next week. then West Virginia. Fordham and Detroit. all strong teams. Carnegie plays Notre Dame in between these engagements with Georgetown and N. Y. U.
 There will be a dispute about 1t if Ohio State finishes with a clean slate and wins the Big Ten" title. The Buckeyes, after battling Prince ton this week. play Iowa and Ill., nois, as present the only two re- maining conference teams neither beaten nor tied. ...-..H
 Vanderbilt and Georgia Techs Golden Tornado, two of the out standing southern conference con- tenders with unblemished records, settle their private argument next week at Atlanta.
 The University of Utah Indians nave StdIhcu UlptdlSu lIlIVu&u good share of their difficult sched- ulc. On successive Saturdays they have disposed of two outstanding rivals for Rock Mountain conference honors and they oppose third. Colorado college. this Saturday. in what may be the deciding game Of the series.
 It will take lot of master mind- ing 10 pick this years All-America quarterback, at the rate any num- Der of them have been performing so far. The Pacific coast has put the spotlight on Don Williams Of Southern California. The middle west counties with at least one out standing star in Fred Hovde of Min nesota while the east contributes Howard Harpster, Carnegie captain. to the debate. In the south Can nonbalI Clyde" Crabtree. Florida's s quarterback, and Jimmy Armistead. Vanderbilt captain. are offered for consideration.
