"A YEW YORK, October l9.-The
M task of picking winners in
Y college foot ball becomes
harder every week, owing to
the fact that you never know just
who is going to win. This depart
ment is proud and happy, therefore,
to announce that 1t picked the win
ner of the Princeton Williams game
last Saturday with no trouble at all,
and that it had a shrewd suspicion
that Dartmouth would beat Maine.
This week the doping Is
tougher than ever, but IL you
are thinking Of putting down
bet you can rely pretty thor
oughIy on the following anal
ysis:
Albright -Muhlenberg-A toSs-up.
New York Aggies-Open date.
y-SeWanee-Take q chance on

wagner -UpSala-A toSS-up.
Cornell-Open date.
Columbia -Navy-H Berries plays

T0SS-UP BATTLES
DOMINATE SLATE
Timid Ballot Is Cast for
Minnesota in Contest
With Pittsburgh.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n TEw YORK. October 1s.-An-
I'M other fine array of toss-up
v games confronts punch-drunk
foot ball prognosticators this
week. But without further preamble
and waving immunity, here's how the
Friday and Saturday slate appears
from this corner.
Pitt-Minnesota-Scylla and Cha
rybdis, the devil and the deep blue
sea. Two powerhouse teams, repre-
senting the best, or close to the best,
in the East and Middle West. Both
undefeated and united, but with Min
nesota the more highly rated Of the
two. The breaks" favored the Co
pliers a year ago and probably will de-
that alone, a timid ballot for Mime
sofa
Alabama -TenneSSee-th Southeast
ern Conference title may depend on
this one with the Crimson tide of Ala
bama slightly favored in another tus-
sic Of unbeaten, united teams.
-Navy-Sti1 another one
involving teams with perfect records,
but Buzz Berries or no Buzz Berries,
the chips are down on Columbia.
Harvard Holy Cross-The Crimson
pulled a surprise by upsetting Brown,
but it will be an even greater one If
Casey's men take" Holy Cross, one Of
| the East's best.
Irish" Given Edge.
n 1OTRE DAME -CARNEGIE-How-
I'M ard Harpster, now Carnegie
coach, was poison" to Notre
Dame in his undergraduate days. Since
he won't be playing quarterback,
though, a vote for Notre Dame.
Colgate-Ohio State-Andy Kerrs
Colgate backs can toss that pigskin
| around like a basket ball, but Ohio
State seems to pack superior power.
A vote for the Buckeyes.
Fordham-St. Mary's-The Gaels,
still mad over their defeat by Nevada,
| will be all the tougher. Fordham was
not too impressive against Boston
College, but still is reckoned one of
| the East's top five teams until proven
otherwise. On the toss Of a coin,
| Fordham.
Michigan-Georgia Tech-Two OF
! the seasons major disappointments
! collide here and if there's an all-but-
imperceptible edge for Michigan it's
predicated on the fact that the
! Wolverines are playing at home.
Yale-Brown-Yale has manifested
serious defensive weaknesses. Browns
attack seems to fade in scoring ter
ritory. One guess Is as good as an
| other-Brown.
Princeton Washington and Lee
Nobody has started to weaken on the
| Tigers yet.
Dartmouth-V -Virginia-The Indians
from Hanover, N. H, are on the war
path again.
Vanderbilt-Auburn The Commo-
dores Of Vanderbilt picked.
Chicago Is Favored.
Chicago Indians-If Clark Shaugh-
messy hasn't got something at Chicago

Colonial Team Is Underdog
In First Major Home Battle

For George Washington 1t will be
the first real test of the campaign.
In three games Of more or less minor
character, the Colonials have been
unscored on, in fact have yielded only
five first downs, while winning two
and in the other themselves failing
to score.
OF almost as much interest as the
team trial will be the test of Tuffy
LeemanS. the Colonials' ace back. who
this early has been singled out as all
America timber. Leemans has been
the only consistent ground gamer on
the squad, and with an average Of
more than 8 yards a carry, ranks in
this respect with the country's leaders.
Leemans' right eye, seriously dam
aged three weeks ago at Denver. has
healed rapidly, but tonight will be
protected by a special headgear de-
signed by his ingenious coach, Jim

c. U. Has Soft Game.

CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY does not
" play a strong team tomorrow,
and to say that it should have
good game would be saying some
thing hardly in keeping with what
actually are the prospects. The
Brooklanders ought to beat the Uni
versity of Baltimore by almost as
large a score as they may care to
run up.
The contest between the c. U. fresh
men and Maryland freshmen, though.
may be another stern affair. In all
the games played between the yearling
teams of these universities not more
than touchdown mas ever separated
them.
Gallaudet goes down to play Bridge
water, the team American University
whipped decisively. The Kendall
Greeners. although not yet fully re-
covered from their defeat by Washing
ton College, are of the opinion that
they have an excellent chance to place
the game in their credit column.

Gus DOrais Sees
Win for Cophers
BY GUS DORAIS,
Coach, Detroit q.

nETROIT, October 19.-The
~ game on which the eyes OF
the Nation are focused will
bring together two of the strongest
teams in the country, Minnesota
and Pittsburgh. They are well
matched. with Pitt having a slight
edge in speed and Minnesota in
power. Pittsburgh's excellent back
field personnel will be evenly
matched for the first time this
year.
Minnesota rested last week and
Pitt was emotionally high for the
Southern California game.
Because of this psychological ad-
vantage for Minnesota, I'm picking
the Gophers to win.

Maryland Has Even Chance.

N KARYLAND, after four years of
QN consecutive victories over Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute. for
the last two years has suffered defeats.
AT College Park two years ago the
Blacksburg eleven simply ran wild
and won by % to 0. and last year at
Norfolk won again by two touchdowns.
Naturally Maryland is anxious to get
the game back on the other side of
the sheet, and believes that 1t has an
even chance to do just that, at the
same time recognizing that the Vir-
glnians have an outfit that is physi-
cally powerful, full of all kinds of
potentialities, and worthy opponent
at any time.
Maryland plans 10 start against "
F. I. practically the same team that
played against Navy. Every man that
look part in that game Is in good shape
and ready to go again. The game at
Norfolk should be one of the most Bit
terly contested of all that have been
played between the two schools.

BANK NLEEMANS
IN SCRAP TONIGHT.
Georgetown and Maryland
Are Ready for Trying
Games Tomorrow.
BY H. C. BYRD.

HREE local college elevens seem
to be at the turning points of
their schedules tonight and
tomorrow, George washington
against Tulsa, Georgetown with Will
liam and Mary and Maryland against
Virginia Tech. Each school believes
that victory should mark the begin
ming of successful route that ought
to be extended considerably before
November ends. In other words, the
Colonials, Blue and Gray and Old
Liners feel that the way to greater
achievements will be opened If their
efforts this time are successful.
The most dificult task seems to
confront George Washington, if Tulsa,
as is claimed, has as strong a team as
it put on the field the last two or
three seasons. 1t Is not such an easy
task to beat the OklahomanS at any
time, and for the Colonials to do that
seems more than unusual
At least the local school has not yet
been able to take the measure of its
opponent from the oil fields. But it is
a long lane that has no turning, and
some time a George Washington vic
tory is as sure as death and taxes,
which some people claim are the only
sure things under the sun. Maybe
that time is at hand, and perhaps
after the final whistle is blown to-
night the Colonials will stand with
their hoodoo broken and their flag at
the masthead.
