CLOSE GAMES
!. CREATURE
SCHEDULE
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Today the public is interested
In all football games played.
The public wants to know
about games listed as close.
A number of close games are
on this weeks schedule.
In Washington, seven games
have created interest. Those
seven are: /. Villanova-South
Carolina. 2. Boston-New Hamp-
shire. 3. Davidson-Washington
and Lee. 4. Gettysburg-Juniata.
S. Michigan.Michigan State. 8.
Indiana-O Ohio University. 7. Rice
Louisiana.
Seven tight games.
There are others just as tight.
Villanova-South Carolina: Caro-
lima will be favored to win. II
is a big, heavy, active team. 1
pick Villanova, however.
BoSton-New Hampshire: Two
teams evenly matched. New
Hampshire has an edge.
Washington and Lee:
Much depends on Sawyer, w.
and LIS star back. He llmped
all last week with a frontal
chariey-horse. I prefer Washing
ton and Lee. ,
Gettysburg Juniata: Little
known teams. Juniata.
Michigan-Michigan State: The
dopesters have Michigan state
winning. Michigan, a conSlS'
tently great defensive team.
Michigan should trip State.
Indiana-Ohio University: Too
close to be comfortable, but In
diana looks the winner.
Rice to Win
Rice-Louisiana: Another one
mighty close. I take Rice, due to
new coach at Louisiana.
Maine Connecticut State: A
hard one to pick. Maine won last
year, 6 to 0. Rudy Vallee's stein
Song" may pull Maine through.
Johns Washington Col
1ege: Last year j. H. won, 6 to 0.
Do not accept that score as mean
ing anything. j. H. should win
with goodly margin.
Manhattan st. Joseph: This
game set out as a warning by
New York forecasters st. Joseph
may come through, as New York
says it will, but Manhattan ap-
pears too strong.
North Carolina Vanderbilt:
Vandy too strong for the Caro-
linianS.
Oklahoma Tulsa: Washington
ians like Tulsa. However, what
edge there is goes to Oklahoma.
Oregon-Santa Clara: Another
toSs-up, despite Santa Clara's win
over California. The Santa Clare
win, however, means an edge to
that team.
Penn State-Lebanon: Another
tight one, but State should win
again this year.
Texas to Repeat
Texas-Centenary: Texas picked
to repeat its victory of last year
which was a 6-to-0 affair.
John Caroll-Wittenberg: A hard
game. Picking winner difficult.
Wittenberg won last year, 6 to o.
and seems in fair way to repeat.
Xavier-Centre: Two bad teams
The question here is. Which is
the worse?" This years contest
even-steven, with what edge exists
going to Xavier.
California; Olympic Club: The
club team is not an easy one to
beat. Navy Bill" Ingram'S team
took a licking from Santa Clara
a week ago. Such a plaStering
always help team which is
hailed in preseason dope as a
national championship combina'
ton. California should win after
a struggle.
Georgia-Virginia Polytech: V.P.I
Is hailed as the dangerous team
of the Southern Conference. Even
so, Georgia is standard good
combination
Georgia Tech-ClemSon: Latter
sometimes comes through with
dangerous teams. However, it
seems Tech has the advantage.
IN. I.-Dpke: Mighty tight.
v. M. I. will improve, but Duke
should win.
Tulane-Texas A. & M: Hard
game last year won by Tulane.
Z to 0. Tulane again.
The following teams should win
their games: Alabama, Auburn,
Arkansas. Baylor. Boston College,
Chattanooga, Colgate, Columbia,
Cornell, Haskell. Dar m lou t h,
Fordham, Georgetown. George
Washington, Harvard, Holy Cross,
Iowa, Iowa State, Kentucky,
Maryland, Minnesota, Northwest
ern, Ohio State, Penn, Princeton,
st. Bonaventure, Rutgers, South
ern California. Springfield, Syra-
cuse, Tennessee, Texas Christian,
Army, Navy, w. and j.. Pitts
