Zuppke May Fool Bucks

NHIO STATES BUCKEYES, still
" smarting from that Notre
Dame shock, will have a chance to
take it out on Illinois, but they had
better watch out for the Illini. Bob
Zuppke is a tough fellow to beat
when he points for one game.
All Purdue has to do is to stop
Oze Simmons, Dick Crayne and
Iowa, which it isn't likely to do.
Chicago, with Jay Berwanger in
form, is the choice to beat Indiana,
and Northwestern should win over
Wisconsin.
Kansas State has too much ma
terial for Oklahoma, improved as
the Sooners are.
In the Southwest, the parade of
S. M. U. and Texas Christian should
continue, with the former beating
Arkansas, despite long train ride
back from the U. G. L. A. game, and
the latter winning over Texas.
There isn't lot of action on the
West Coast. U. S. c. may get back
on the winning side against Wash
ington State, but this one is a toss
up. Neither California nor Stanford
should have much trouble with Col
lege of the Pacific and Montana
State, respectively.
On Sunday, st. Mary's and Santa
Clara meet in their traditional
struggle. This game always is close,
and the breaks will have to go de-
cidedly to one team to prevent a
tie.

Hoppe Challenges
TRIAL Leader
New Yorker Takes Runnerup
Spot in Cue Meet.

By United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 10. Willie
Hoppe, veteran New York player,
today was the chief challenger for
the lead in the worlds three cushion
billiard tournament held by Welker
Cochran, San Francisco.
Hoppe boosted his total to four
victories and one defeat by beating
Otto Reiselt, Philadelphia, so to 38
in SO innings last night. Cochran,
who has four wins and no defeats,
was idle yesterday but tonight will
meet Augie Kieckhefer, Chicago.
Kieckhefer last night lost to
Kinney Matsuyama, Japan, SO to 80,
in 80 innings and dropped to fifth
place. The defending champion,
Johnny Layton, Sedalia, Mo, was
pushed into sixth place when he
lost to Tiff Denton, Kansas City, so
to SO in Al innings. Arthur Thurn-
blad, Chicago, defeated Allen Hall,
st. Louis, so to 48 in so innings.

the feature tug at the Armory
McMillen rates as one of the top
ten in the graphing sport, and will
be the toughest opposition Ed the
Stranger has tackled here.
Ed the Headlocker accepted the
McMillen melee after humpty-
dumptying Chief War Eagle Strong
bow at the Armory last night.
Strongbow. a young Indian whose
chief hold was a grimace and a
snort, wasn't in old Eds class.
The Stranger Topped the Red
skin first in IA minutes with head
lock, and one minute and IS seconds
was all that was required for the
second fall, which ended with the
Chiefs noggin in Eds vice-like lock.
In the semi Windup, Paul Jones,
Texas tornado, outclaSSed Bob
Blair, Oklahoma veteran, in two
falls. Jones, speedy, rough and
tumble performer, won the opener
in 10 minutes with a f1gure-four
scissors and the final in 40 seconds
with the same hold.
Rudy Strongberg pinned Karl
Hansen in the opener with body
slams in seven minutes.

Red Raiders Are Due

CYRACUSE'S record is going to be
- damaged Saturday when the
Orange meets Colgate. The Red
Raiders lost three hard-luck ones
IL a row, and are due to hand some
one real beating.
Penn State has to come back after
a really hard victory over Villanova
and meet PENIS powerhouse. The
Quakers have had trouble with
Penn State in the past. and this
year should prove no exception, but
the edge belongs in Philadelphia.
Columbia gets chance to even
up with Navy, but the Middies have
too many guns for the Lions.

Duke in Tar Heel Path

NUKE and North Carolina meet
IL in the Southern headliner.
North Carolina can win this one and
be pretty certain of playing in either
the Rose or Sugar Bowl. Carl
Snavely has a fine team and should
be able to win.
Another game that is going to be
we'll worth watching is that between
Louisiana State and Georgia.
Georgia lacks the man power to
cope successfully enough with the
Tigers.
Kentucky and Tulane meet in a
close one, with Kentucky having a
slight edge.
Both Tennessee and Vanderbilt
have found the going rocky thus
far, but their records will not detract
from the interest of this Southern
classic. I'll ride with Ray Morrison
and Vanderbilt.
Alabama, now riding high, wide
and handsome, has a decided edge
over Georgia Tech.

Pilney Not to
Oppose Army
PfefferIe Also Out for Week,
Layden Says.

By United Press
SOUTH BEND, Nov. 13.-Hopes
which had doomed on the Notre
Dame campus that Andy Pilney,
half back, and Dick Pfefferle, tackle,
would be able to play against the
Army Saturday, were exploded
today by Coach Elmer Layden.
Neither star will be in shape for
the scrap in Yankee Stadium, New
York, Layden said.
Pilney and Pfefferle received leg
injuries in their grueling struggle
with Ohio State. Others on the in
jured list, including Shakespeare,
Fromhart, Kopozak and Mike
Layden, are expected to return to
drills before Friday.
A dummy scrimmage on defense
against Army plays kept the squad
busy yesterday.

Still a Gopher Year

MICHIGAN is back again with an
AVA old-time defensive eleven,
playing with effect its punt, pass
and prayer system. This is just the
type of football that will make the
going tough for the Gophers, but
this still is Gopher year.
Nebraska is moving along like a
champion, and has its greatest
chance since 1923 of beating Pitts
burgh. The Huskers have Cardwell
and LeNoue, they have the incen-
tive, and have not had too strenuous
going in the last few games.
A Temple team that has the ad-
vantage of a two week rest will have
a slight edge over Marquette. The
latter had tough game against
Michigan State Saturday, and will
have to meet fresh Owl team, one
that has been able to point for this
game.

cially in the Winter varieties. At
