line up something like this:
Fordham-Oregon State-A slight lean

list. The weak offenSe the TrojanS

put up a strenuous argument.
Duke-North Carolina-The records
point to another triumph for unbeaten
Duke.
Colgate-Syracuse-Syracuse has been
too inconsistent this season to warrant
any prediction for a victory over Col
gate.
Chicago -nlinois-The nlini look far
superior.
Tulane -Kentucky-Tulane has played
winning foot ball since 1t stopped
fumbling and the Greenies are favored.
Washington-U. G. L. A.-This Wash
ington outfit beat Stanford at home and
was trounced $50 by California at
Berkeley. The U. c. L. A. game at
Seattle inspires a tirnid ballot for
Washington.

with Dartmouth apparently the better
team this season.
