n IEW YORK, November %
M Thanksgiving day has lost
i Y much of its old glory as an
outstanding foot ball date,
but score of major games to-
morrow will keep the tradition
alive.
Except for the intersectional clash at
Lincoln between the Nebraska Corn
huskers, Big Six championships and
Oregon State, the program is marked by
the renewal Of long series of turkey
day rivalries. Notable among these will
be Penn and Cornell, Brown and Col
gate in the East; Virginia and North
Carolina, Virginia Military and Virginia
Poly in the South: Kansas and Missouri
in the Midwest and Texas and Texas A.
and NJ In the Southwest.
On no other day of the year, perhaps.
is the foot ball dope so liable to be
scrambled, but on the basis Of results to
date, the prospects for tomorrow's
games line up about like this:
Nebraska-Oregcn State-On the basis
OF their performance against Fordham
10 days ago, the Beavers from the Far
West look slightly the stronger, but
there's considerable doubt whether they
can hit that peak again. Nebraska. too,
Is all but invincible at Lincoln, inspir-
ing q faltering ballot for the Huskers.
DENN- -CORNELL-Penn would like
to close one of its most dismal
seasons with victory over Cor
nell. but the 1thacans, none too sue
cessful themselves. will be favorites.
Alabama Vanderbilt - Alabama the
choice to win and gain at least a share
in the Southeastern title.
Kansas Missouri - There's nothing
whatever in the records to indicate that
Missouri can hold the Jayhawks in
check. Missouri has won only one game
in eight this year.
Colgate e-Brown-Despite the defeat BY
Tulane and the tie with LAFAYETTE, COL
gates Red Raiders loom at least a
touchdown better than the Bruins,
whose only major victory was scored
over Syracuse
st. Marys-Oregon-Th passing at
tack the Gaels showed against U. c.
49, 80 -oSN "NSA' PAlo a SLbAOy
game. should give Oregon plenty of
trouble
Kentucky Tennessee-Since Tennes-
sees early season defeats by Duke and
Alabama, the Volunteers have run up
81 points in winning four successive
victories and that sort of thing looks
much too tough for Kentucky.
TEXAs-TEXAs. A. AND M.-Com-
parative scores help not a bit III
the quest for the winner here. If
there's any advantage in home field,
the edge belongs TO A and M
itt-Carnegie-The Panthers seem to
pack too much power for Carnegie.
VirgiEia-North Carolma-The edge,
and it's thin one, apparently belongs
to North Carolina.
U. c. L. A.-Washington State-wash-
inston State seems to be a logical IA
vorite though the score probably will be
close.
Denver-Colcrado University-Denver
needs a victory here to gain at least
tie for the conference title, and the
records indicate the pioneers may get
1t after a nard battle.
Colorado Aggies-Utah-Utahs been
beaten but the Indians still are strong,
possibly too strong for the AggieS, who,
with Denver. alone have escaped defeat
in the Conference
Y IIRGIN1A POLY-VIRGINIA MILL
v TARY-This one seldom follows
form, but V. P. I. has the better
record.
West Virginia Washington & Jeffe--
son-Two old rivals meet here. with
West Virginias Mountaineers boasting
the better attack and favored on that
basis
Loyola Centenary-Centenary's unde-
feated gentlemen will be favored over
their New Orleans rivals.
Kansas State Texas Tech Texas
Techs no pushover, but Kansas State
should win.
Tulsa a-ArkansaS-A tight battle ind-
Gated with the edge apparently belong
ing to Tulsas strong eleven
Oklahoma Oklahoma A. and M-Tvo
Of the most evenly matched rivals Of
the day, with a narrow edge apparently
in A. and MS favor
