TEXAS CONTEST AND FORDHAM- N.Y.U. STANDOUT Last Two Big" Games on
 College Football Slate
 Due This Week
By HENRY SUPER

United Press Staff COrrespOndent) New York, Nov. 26-(UP)-The 1885 pigskin parade ends this week with two games-one in the east the other in Texas-shoving hand- full of other battles into the back ground in national interest.
 The east takes the lead-oh po- Sition Thanksgiving day as New York university's undefeated eleven meets Fordham in its last and most severe test of the season.
 On Saturday, the spotlight swings to Fort Worth, where two unbeaten giants of the Lone Star state Texas Christian and Southern Methodist-cross swords.
 Competing against the Texas classic for national attention on Saturday will be the Army Navy and Princeton-Yale brawls on the east ern front.
 Expect SO,OOO
 Upwards of 80,000 persons are ex- pected to jam Yankee stadium to see N. Y. U. seek its first undefeated, united season in history-a feat which, if accomplished, may send the violet clad eleven into the Rose Bowl New Years day against Stan ford.
 Fordham is expected to be a 6-5 favorite purely because it has had more rugged opposition from New YorkS metropolitan area,
 Betting on the Texas clash is even money. If the Christians win, they will clinch the southwest conference title and will need only a victory over Santa Clara, December 2, to as- sure them perfect season. s. M. U., if it wins, will gain at least a con- ference title because 1t has a final conference engagement against Texas A. and M. a week later.
 The Army-Navy clash also is an even proposition. Army lost to Mississippi State and Pittsburgh and held Notre Dame to 8 tie. Navy was whipped by Yale, Notre Dame and Princeton, but seemed to find itself later against Columbia and Pennsylvania. Past records mean little in the service brawl and 85,000 will jam Philadelphia's Franklin field to see the clash.
 Princeton FavOrite
 Princeton, apparently the eastern champion after last weeks triumph over Dartmouth, will wrap up the title if it beats Yale, Saturday. Princeton is a 21a to 1 favorite, but last year the Ellis blemished the Tigers otherwise perfect record and are pointing for e similar victory this season.
 The southeastern and Rocky Mountain conference titles will be settled in bitter sectional fighting.
 Louisiana State risks its south. eastern division leadership in g game Saturday with Tulane. Should L. s. U be whipped, the champions ship would go to the winner of the Alabama Vanderbilt game Thursday However, all L. s. U. needs to as- sure itself of the title is a tie with Tulane.
 The Rocky Maintain crown will be decided Thanksgiving day when Colorado meets Denver and Utah meets Utah State. Denver and Utah State each have won five conference games and lost one, while Colorado and Utah each have won four and lost one.
 Titles in other conferences have been settled, although there is a possibility that U. c. L. A. may make the Pacific coast championship a three way affair.
 The Los Angeles eleven has won three and lost one and needs vic- tory over Idaho, Saturday, to tie with Stanford and California, which closed their seasons last week against each other.
