vEW YORK. November 6.

nj Two Of the country'S nine
Y major foot ball cham
pionships may be settled
this week, but the rest will have
to await developments of Novem-
ber l8 or later.
With q full month yet to 60
before some of the final returns
are in, the championship races
looked about like this. today:
Big Six-Nebraska can clinch the
title beyond dispute by beating Kansas
this week
Missouri Valley-Drake will win the
crown if the Bulldogs spill Oklahoma
A. and NJ. If the champion Aggies beat
Drake and then Creighton, they'll finish
with perfect conference record of two
victories, no defeats.
East-Army, Princeton and Duquesne,
the sole remaining undefeated and un-
tied teams, with the first two conceded
the best chance Of winding up that way.
DIG TEN-The elimination of nl-
n nois left only Michigan, Purdue
and, at the outside, Minnesota, to
carry on. Minnesotas tussle with Mich
igan may be decisive.
Southwest-Texas and Arkansas, the
only undefeated teams, meet Friday,

Southern California still in the run

can step in If the Georgians falter
Southern - Duke, South Carolina,
North Carolina and Washington and
Lee survive.
Rocky Mountain-Utah leads, with
Denver and the Colorado Aggies a step
behind.
TSHIS weeks schedule is devoted al
most entirely to sectional warfare,
with only four major intersec-
tional tests on the card. The principal
features Of the week, by sections, fol-
low:
East-Duquesne' unbeaten record
may go by the boards in the battle
with the Pitt Panthers, but Princeton
looks too strong for Dartmouth, and
Army should continue its sweep at Har-
wards expense. Georgia's invasion of
New Haven to meet the Yale Bulldogs
tops an intersectional program marked
otherwise by Ohio States trip East
to play Penn, Carnegie Techs
tangle with Michigan State, at East
Lansing, and West Virginia's contest
with Wisconsin, at Madison. Fordham,
its Rose Bowl hopes ruined by st.
Mary's, meets New York University.
Other leading pairings send Navy
Boston College, Syracuse against Brown
and Rutgers against Lafayette.
ri IG TEN-Tested by Illinois, Mich
n igan may find Iowa just about as
tough in the most important duel
of o conference slate that also sends
Northwestern against Illinois and Chi
cago against Indiana. Purdue will
travel to South Bend to see whether
it's possible for Notre Dame team to
lose four games in succession. f,
Big Six-The Nebraska-Kansas game
tops the program by common consent.
Iowa State plays Kansas State and
Oklahoma meets Missouri.
Pacific Coast-Southern California'S
struggle with Stanford is the outstand-
ing feature, although the Oregon-Ore-
gon State match may carry more cham
pionship significance. If Oregon should
win, then the Southern California-Ore-
gon game of November 18 may be de-
Cisive. An Oregon State victory, on the
other hand, will enable that team to
finish its conference schedule with three
victories and a scoreless tie with South
ern California. California and Wash
ington. Washington State and Idaho,
collide in other conference games this
week.
CoUTH - Mississippis Southeastern
- title hopes will be tested by Ten
nessee, but Vanderbilt should con-
tinue In the running at Sewanee's ex-
pense Florida and Georgia Tech, Tu-
lane and Mississippi State square off in
other conference tests, while Alabama
and Kentucky are facing Southern Con-
ference foes in Virginia Poly and Vir-
ginia Military, respectively. Within the
Southern Conference itself, Duke should
continue its winning streak at Mary
lands expense, and South Carolina looks
superior to North Carolina State Wash
ington and Lee, another contender,
stacks up against Virginia.
