Q few Of them on the wing and
equal a winning percentage of
500 Of a week ago.
I feel my luck is with me
this weekend and that is the
time to make the best of it
when the urge is strong.
Navy's three teams stand to
stop Columbia, which is having
Q rough season and no foolin'.
Up until this morning l thought
I'd 60 over to Annapolis and see
the game, but I never like to see
people cry and so will spare my.
self the agony Of catching the
tears as they roll from Lou Lit
ties owl-like eyes.
For you see, when Lou cries.
his wife Loretta, who is also In
Annapolis. is more than likely to
break out sobbing, too, and that
is a scene from which I COVER
lady in tears.
Army Not So Sure
But I don't think Navy'sbrother

have as good fortune with Notre
Dame as the Middies should have
with Columbia. You see. 1 still

9onder of my Scotch. Leastways.
I'm going to stick to the Ram.
blers in Yankee Stadium this
afternoon, not to be obstinate
but because 1 think they have
the Army'S number.
Locally Catholic University,
which finished so strongly in its
fourth quarter week ago, seems
good enough to take what Dick
Harlow left at Western Maryland.
Likewise I favor Maryland over
Washington and Lee, at which
game I shall be watching the
bands Of Almas and Bouni Tenn
Piles blare away between the
halves.
Manhattan stands to stem
Georgetown, although George
town should give the JasperS
good game and I am looking for
no overwhelming score.
The Big Three Sat-Ups
Other Eastern teams who
should emerge victorious in my
humble belief include Yale, Har-
ward and Princeton, neither of
which is facing anything like it's
toughest foe.
That goes for Fordham, Holy
Cross and Pennsylvania, but
some of the others on the At
lantic seaboard will be more un-
certain.
For instance, Williams and
Amherst are almost a Stand-off
and since I don't like to dilly.
daily with that sort, I'm going to
pick Williams and duck my head.
Marquette ought to make dog
meat of Temple. I'll close my
eyes and pick Colgate to stop
Syracuse and that's about all it
amounts to, blind guess.
Pitt and Nebraska are going to
put up one of those dog fights
with emphasis on Pittsburgh
which showed agains Army that
the Panthers are at their peak.
Dartmouth appears to have a
little something on Cornell just
as Boston College figures over
Springfield and New York Uni
versity rates higher than Rutgers
by at least S to /.
Moving westward and south
ward, let's see what is to be
found:
Alabama certainly should be
able to hurdle Georgia Tech.
And Rice out-figures Texas
A. and M.
Louisiana state should double
any score that Georgia makes or
even hold 'em scoreless by from
s to 0 to IA to 0.
AS I intimated yesterday the
Duke-North Carolina game is one
OF those traditional matters
wherein often the underdog (see
BurruS Jenkins admirable car
toon today accomplishes the i'm
possible. In such a case Duke
would win, but North Carolina
averages up better in my book.
Southern Methodist rates bet
ter than Arkansas, and Tulane
looks a bit better than Kentucky
from this distance Vanderbilt out
ranks Tennessee.
Were I a wagering man, I'd
lay it on the line at no less than
even money that Indiana could
exc out a narrow victory over
Chicago, but this game looks
awfully close from 800 miles
away.
Other Selections
Iowa over Purdue.
Ohio State over Illinois.
Minnesota over Michigan as
she pleases.
Southern California over Wash.
ington State.
Santa Clara over st. Mary's.
California over College of the
Pacific.
I think that covers the vital
ones. I also think there's a lot |
of winners in there.
The first attribute of an ex-
pert is confidence.
The second conceit.
The third is that he MUST be
crazy.
