ALABAMA HAS

u
Alabama, big power house Of the
South, Notre Dame, defeat-defying
dynamo from the banks Of the
Wabash or Whereabouts, and Ford

three undefeated major elevens

national football title in today's

Oregon face opponents that should
not prove troublesome.
'Ban1a, heavily seeded with ton
mage and speed, runs up against
Florida, the team that scared to
the heights last week to hold
Georgia to a scoreless tie. Penn,
recovering brilliantly to smother
Kansas after collapsing before
wisconsin, play the Irish in Phila'
delphia, while Fordhan journeys
west to test Detroit. Neither
Notre Dame or Fordham has
been defeated since 1928.
The three undefeated teams

"Jack, the Ripper" Roberts
and muddIeS Austin DOwneS,
the heavy Georgia quarter
back, is going to make a lot
Of trouble.
Notre Danes terrific assault
IS too much for a crippled team
such as Penn to halt. Knute
Rocllne has one of his better edi-
tions this season and he will in
wade Franklin Field with an al,
most perfect machine, in prime
confidence Of unbroken victory.
Detroit would have to have had
miracle man treatments to cope
with Fordham since their z to 3
surprise defeat last week by Iowa,
yet the Motor boys beat West Vir-
Rinia by q bigger score than did
Fordham. The game should be
close and hardfought with the
edge to the Fasteners, but Ford
ham will undoubtedly be hard
pressed to win,

Yale has day off in taking on

win at least one game in battling
Lehigh.> Dartmouth plays the un-
beaten Allegheny eleven.
Georgia and New York Uni
verSity will furnish one of the
days most bitter battles in
New York. The Southerners
