 Tennessee. unbeatcn and tied only by Kentucky, is in for q great strug- gle with South Carolina. despite the Spotty record made by the Palmetto state boys. A fine side attraction of this game will be the appearance of Gene McENcr, the Vols all-America halfback.
 The Florida Oregon contest car rics the spanGles of an inter- sec tional affray and what a game. it should be. The Gators won six and lost but one southern conference same, while Oregon had record of four and one in the Pacific Coast conference season.
 Western Maryland, one of the few UnbCaten and united teams of the country, will face natural and de- termined rival in Maryland.

P. 1. and Johns Hopkins, alter earlier losses to North Caro- lima, South Carolina and V. NJ. l., and being tied by Virginia.
