Pittsburgh, Nov. 6.-Big teams swing
into the home stretch In races for
sectional, intersectional. traditional,
and national honors on Nov. 10.
There isn't q section Of the coun-
try that fails to advance at least
two outstanding attractions.
1ntersectional contests will attract
the most attention. Pittsburgh plays
Nebraska at Lincoln. I have taken
four good football teams to Lincoln
and we have returned with one victory.
Three games have resulted in score
less ties.
Dana Bible has good Cornhusker
crew-one that has come along rapidly
since losing an early season fray to
Minnesota. Nebraska plays football
that is hard to beat before q home
crowd. am looking forward to an
other scoreless tie, II we can hold the
Huskers.
Two Of the best teams in the
country meet when Tulane tackles
Colgate In New York. I am picking
Colgate after q scoring spree.
Notre Dame and Navy meet on q
neutral field In Cleveland. and the
Irish should resume on the victor
ious way, avenging last years defeat.
Another southern array comes north
when Georgia meets Yale, and the
quest will be successful. Harry
Mehre,s Bulldogs should be too much
for Ducky Ponds Bulldog, although
1t will be close.
Ram Must BE Ready
Jimmy Crowley's Fordham Ram,
after three tough games In q row,
will have to be set to Withstand the
attack Of Trusty Tallman's West vir-
ginia Mountaineers. Fordham should
win, but any slip Is likely to mean de-
feat.
There are five important eastern
games, although none Of them will
have q real bearing on the sectional
leadership. Bowdoin and Maine meet
In q game stepped In tradition. I am
inclined to pick Charley Bowser's
Bowdoin band.
Holy Cross Crusaders are going
to prove entirely too much for Chick
Meehan,s men Of Manhattan.
4 expect Penn State, In the midst
81 q real football revival, to beat
Pennsylvania. Washington and JEFF
ferson meets Bucknell, and the edge
must be given to the Presidents.
Every Western Conference outfit
will be engaged in championship
games. Bernie Bierman's Minnesota
Oophers, favorites for the title, have
Indiana on their hands, and while they
should win, any laxness is liable to-
prove fatal.
The closest battle Of the day on this
front should take place when Ohio
State meets Chicago. I have an idea
that Francis Schmidt's Buckeyes have
lost the one game that they will lose
this year, and will have little too
much on the ball for the Maroons.
Iowa figures to lose to Purdue: bar
ring one Of the biggest upsets Of the
day, Michigan and Wisconsin will bat
tie along until Michigan wins. and
Illinois will hand Northwestern . de-
cisive defeat.
Decides Rose Bowl Team
The game that will decide the Pasa-
dena Rose Bowl representative from
the west will be played at Palo Alto,
Calf. This brings Stanford and
Washington into action In . battle
worth going miles to see. Jimmy Phe-
Ian has done q good Job at Washing
ton, but Stanford's fast team should
be q little too much.
Southern California and California
meet in q game that will have little
bearing on the title, but one that
means q lot to both teams. I expect
to see . fairly decisive Trojan victory.
In the southwest, Rice, still head
ing the parade, will meet rugged OPP
position IN Arkansas, but the Owls
will be too much for the Razorbacks.
Texas should get by Baylor, and Cen
tenary and Southern Methodist should
have little trouble with Tulsa and
Texas A. q NJ. respectively.
Missouri Valley games will see the
runner-up to Nebraska decided when
Iowa State and Oklahoma meet. It
looks like Iowa State. Kansas State
should repeal Missouri.
There are no important battles
In Dixie.
In the most important, Washing
ton and Lees Generals, who have lost
by close scores to good teams, should
beat Virginia. Mississippi Is picked
to defeat Florida. Auburn should de-
feat Georgia Tech, Maryland should
trounce Virginia Military Institute,
