found public attention CEN
tered on five major battles in the
East, Midwest and Far West.
Heading all the others in pre-
game estimates of probable at
tendance-100,0 00-waS the ira
ditional clash between Southern
California and Stanford in the big
new Olympic Stadium in Los An
geles.
Just as conference championship
hopes hung in the balance in the
Southern California Stanford contest,
so did possible title honors rest on the
outcome of the Big Ten clash ut
Evanston between Northwestern and
Minnesota, both unbeaten in confer
ence competition. Another big Mid
western spectacle sent Pennsylvania, an
unbeaten aggregation, against Notre
danes Ramblers, unbeaten, but tied by
| Northwestern, at South Bend.
In the East the duel between Harvard
and Dartmouth at Cambridge and the
intersectional battle between Georgia,s
undefeated Bulldogs and New York
University at the Yankee Stadium here
topped the days program.
These five games were the headEners
of another heavy slate of intersectional
and 1ntrasectional games, but dozen
others were not far behind.
Brisk Brushes In East.
In the Far East Fordham's undefeat-
ed Rams ran up against the strong De-
troit outfit, Virginia played Columbia,
Army was matched with Louisiana
State, Brown with Ohio Wesleyan and
Syracuse with a minor opponent in
| Western Reserve.
Along with the Harvard-Dartmouth
| tangle were such sectional trays as
those involving Pitt and Carnegie Tech,
Bucknen and Georgetown, Temple and
Vilanova, Colgate and Penn State,
Rutgers and Lafayette, Lehigh and
Princeton, Yale and st. Johns (Md.).
Cornell and Alfred and Boston College
and Western Maryland.
OF these only Yale and Cornell were
standouts because of the minor oppo-
sition with which they were confronted.
In the Midwest, Nays disappoint-
| ing. eleven hoped to redeem itself
against Ohio State, but with prospects
none too bright. Washington and JEFF
ferson, another Eastern outfit, invaded
/ Milwaukee to play Marquette, Centenary
clashed with Purdue and Arkansas with
Chicago in other intersectionaI contests.
In the Big Ten, Minnesota and
Northwestern, of course, headed a slate
that also included games involving
Michigan and Indiana and Wisconsin
and Illinois. Iowa, another Big Ten
team, had small hopes against Nebraska
Of the Big Six.
First place in this latter conference
hinged upon the outcome of the Kansas
State-Iowa State game. The other Big
Six duel OF the day sent Kansas against
Oklahoma.
Some Battles in South.
I There was comparative hull in ac-
tivities in the Southern Conference with
| Georgia in the North and Tennessee,
another leader, playing Carson-Newman
IN "breather." Tulane, however, was
confronted with the stubborn Auburn
OUTFIT; Vanderbilt plays Maryland;
Florida was matched with Alabama and
Duke sought to stop Kentucky in the
leading conference battles.
In the Southwest, Southern Methodist
and Texas Christian, both unbeaten in
conference play, faced strong opposition
In Texas A. and NJ, and Rice, respec-
lively Texas and Baylor were rivals in
| another conference game.
Sharing interest in the Far West with
Stanford and Southern California was
the clash between Washington and
California, while in the Rocky Mountain
Conference, the Utah Indians squared
off against Colorado College, with the
former picked to win almost as they
pleased. The Utah Aggies, technical
leaders, faced Brigham Young in an
other important clash
