LOCAL GAMES
EASIEST To
FIGURE
BY HARRY COSTELLO

With the powerful and versa
tile Crimson Tide of Alabama
rushing toward Washington's shore
line, and Virginia Polytech NOV
ing on College Park, interest in
grid games locally strikes its first
high point of the season. Ala
bana and v. P. I. are figured to
win over George Washington ard
the Old, Liners of Maryland.
: Seven other games interest local
followers of football. These seven
games are listed at the top of the
following forecast.
Yale-Chicago: Last year Yale
won in a walk. Chicago has a re-
juvenated team and will not be
easy to defeat. This game mighty
hard to forecast. Yale should
come through, as an extra week
OF practice right now means much
% Eli Yale.
Best Game of Day
Michigan-Northwestern: Prob
ably the best game of the day.
The Wolverines proved their merit
against State last week. North.
western, of course, is one of the
great teams of the year. A battle,
with Michigan favored by this
writer, because Michigan makes
her breaks.
Rice-Southern Methodist: An
other hot game and hard to
figure. S. M. U. has a habit of
coming back after an early sea-
son defeat. Ray Morrison, coach
OF the Mustangs, says his team
houl d win, despite Rice's
strength. However, I take Rice.
Minnesota-Purdue: The Goph-
ers are slow starters, comparing
favorably with Navy in this re-
Spect. Even so, this game is
listed as tight one in all fore
casts, Minnesota should come
through.
= Arkansas-Texas Christian: One
OF those bitterly fought to the
finish games. Texas Christian
seems improved and has an ex-
cellert chance to win.
Davis and Elkins-New River
State: D. E. should take this
one after a mighty battle. New
River is ready for the issue, even
If it is an unknown team. If one
tea mgets the jump it may win
easily.
Dickinson -UrSlnus: The hard
est of them all to figure. UrSinus
looks victorious at this date, but
small influences may change the
aspect by Saturday.
Princeton Columbia: Lou Lit
ties team appears just too strong
for the Tiger. The latter team
may battle it out, since it is
Princeton'S first appearance in
New York in many years. The
Tiger has Fritz Crisler.
Pitt-Duquesne: A local bat
tie and hard to dope. I ex-
pect Pitt to win by a couple of
touchdowns, and maybe three.
Fordham-Bucknell: The latter
tripped "Cav's" great team of
last year. The Major is ready
for Buckneu this year and Ford
ham probably will obtain re-
Venge.
MISREPRESENTATION and Lee:
Navy should improve enough to
exc out a win, but this one will
be close. Navy probably will not
develop much before its early
November games.
Penn State-Waynesburg: Al
ways a battle. Waynesburg
should win again this year de-
spite an improved State.
western Maryland Marshall
College: The latter team has the
players. A tight game. Har-
lows team may be tripped.
Battle Seen Here
California-St. Mary'S: Another
battle. Looks like California; S
improvement is great enough to
warrant choosing the Golden
Bears.
Citadel-V. M. l.: You pick this
one. Last year it was 13 to 13
and a sensational game. 1 like
Citadel again.
Creighton Marquette: Marquette
should come through Dartmouth
Lafayette: Dartmouth; Florida
Sewanee: What a battle! Florida
holds an edge; Gonzaga- Idaho:
Another battle-royal. Gonzaga by
whisker; Kent-Otterbein: A
dangerous one to fool with. I
take Otterbein.
MiSsouri-TexaS: Texas should
win; North Carolina State-Clem-
son: Clemson should win by a
touchdown; Ohio State-Indiana: {:
A hard one. Ohio should cop;
Notre Dame Haskell: Notre Dame
with comparative ease; Tennessee
North Carolina: Tennessee; Am
herst-Union: Amherst might take
this one after a struggle; Georgia
Tech-Kentucky: Kentucky looks
too strong
