The Washington times., 1933-11-08


Washington, as usual, ponders
the outcome Of seven games
seven favoriteS.
Illinois VS.. Northwestern. When
the Illini played Michigan to a
standstill, Illinois stock went up.
When Northwestern played Mime
S ia, conqueror of Pitt, to a stand
still, Northwestern stock went up.
The favorite will be Illinois, but
I feel that Northwestern will rise
to the occasion.
Navy VS.. Columbia. Lou Titles
team enters this game favored 10
G,feat Navy. RIP" Miller's lads,
however, will be hard to beat, and
I take Navy.
Pittsburgh VS.. Duquesne. This
one looks like the battle Of the
day. The Dukes have prepared
for this one. Any team which
can defeat Detroit is worthy OF
more than passing consideration.
I look for Elmer Layden's team
to surprise the football world by
turning back the PantherS.
Favor Farmers
Michigan State VS.. Carnegie
Tech. Another fine contest.
Since it is played in East Lansing,
and since Charlie Bachman's boys
are at their best at home,
favor the Farmers.
Indiana VS.. Chicago. A tight,
hard game. Indiana, because Of
it's defeat by Notre Dame, appears
moderated in advance dope. Chi
cago is an improved aggregation,
but this one should be close, with
the Midway just barely eking out
a win.
Oregon VS.. Oregon State. Two
teams with excellent defenses. It
would appear that both are ready
to defend more than they are
ready to attack. Oregon State
appears to hold a slight edge.
Washington and Lee vs.. Vir-
GINA. A traditional. Cast aside
all pre-game dope. No one can
decide this one until the last
minute of play. The Generals,
under "Tex" Tilson, have made
a wonderful showing. He should
be able to get w. and l.. at top
for this one, so I take the Gen
erals.
Battle Royal
Another battle-royal appears TO
interest a large number of people.
Villanova VS.. Boston College.
The wiSeacres lean toward Vii.
lanova. AS the date for the Holy
CROSSE. C. game approaches, B.
c. is always better team than
it appears. I take B. C.
The following list, with choices
designated, is a troublesome affair.
The lists which preceded this one
more or less indicate that the
forecaster Of today must know
last minute. local conditions; wit
ness the Tennessee-George Wash
ington incident.
Catholic University VS.. Detroit.
A better game than most suspect.
The Cards are an improved team.
Detroit is very strong. The
Titans at the moment are really
one of the most versatile and
efficacious attacking machines in
the nation. While C. U. will give
battle, and plenty of it. Detroit
should win.
Maryland VS.. Duke. The Old
Liners have been travelling. This
is a chance to see if they have
developed as they promised they
would, by the second Saturday in
November. A better contest than
most suspect. Duke will win, but
should encounter stiff opposition.
Brown-Syracuse. After that
lacing of last Saturday. it would
appear that the Bear is breathing
hard. Syracuse is in good shape.
A hard one to pick. but it looks
as if Brown may take this one.
If Syracuse wins it will surprise
no one.
Crimson Improved
Harvard-Army. The Crimson Is
vastly improved in these past two
weeks, as Harvard thrives on easy
prey. Army, however, has the
stuff of which champions are
