IL you TO Hau'
In fact, about all I find can
depend upon around here is the
Fordham football team and me.
We're both consistent. Every
Saturday l pick them to lose their
first football game and every
Saturday they don't.
This time, Purdue, Of the Big
Ten, ought to catch them on the
rebound from the Pitt game and
have just enough to win against
a defense that ranks no worse
than second in the country. Pur-
due, two weeks after the Mime
sofa meeting, should be exactly
set for this one. The first Satur-
day after the Gophers give you
a go-over, you're not so good; on
the second, you're usually great.
That's one thing I can guarantee
about Fordham. 1t positively
isn't great.
There's a possible Rose Bowl
bid waiting for Fordham on its
performance today and, down
in Birmingham, two of the
South's unbeaten teams, Alabama
and Tulane, will be shooting for
the same award. So will Louisi-

Figures Against Tulane
Alabama, with either the first
or second best defense in the
country, figures with me against
Tulane, but it's a tough one to
call. In fact, you don't call it;
you just throw your coat over
it and run. If you can do any.

and Temple; Colgate and Holy
Cross: Arkansas and Rice; Wash
ington and Stanford. and Oregon
and U. c. L. A, they're your
dice.
That Louisiana State is due
and l don't mean to win. Just
a flier on Mississippi State but
I think the latter'S worth it.
That's not the mirror trick; you
do it with an opera hat. 1t is
also my hunch that Auburn
will lose to Georgia Tech at At.
lanta. You do that one with art
needleWork.
AS for the others mentioned,
I should say that Colgate's worth
a dollar for dollar bet over Holy
Gross; that Temple can beat
Michigan State if it only will
and that, with some foreboding,
I'm taking Washington over
Stanford. Also Arkansas over
Rice and U. c. L. A. over Ore

NOtre Dame Should Win
Notre Dame should carry its new
momentum from the Ohio State
game all the way down to Balti.
more and beat the Navy, although
undoubtedly the day is coming
when somebody isn't going to beat
the Navy. The shock will be ter.
rifle but largely unjustified. The
Navy isn't bad; only unfortunate.
Indiana will come East and take
Syracuse, unless all form Is a
deluSion. Michigan will come East
and, I think, lose to Pennsylvania,
although Big Ten football is just
a shade more substantial than
ours. Harvard ought to come off
the Princeton game and win hand
lily from Virginia. Princeton ought
to come off the Harvard game and
show a winning drive against Cor
nell-or quit kidding us.
In the Southwest, I'm going with
S. M. U. against Texas A. g. M,
and Texas Christian against Texas.
In the Blk Six I'm always with
Nebraska against anybody, and
this time it's Kansas. Naturally,
Minnesota will take the North
western defeat out on Iowa-and
Northwestern, Scenting a Big Ten
title, should take Wisconsin in
stride, although this one may be
closer than they think. Unless
Ohio States means to lose them
all, it ought to start q new win
ming streak Of one straight against
Chicago.
Yale May Be Pressed
Southern California, after that
two weeks rest, over California
any time and Yale over Brown,
perhaps not as easily as Yale i'm
AGNES. Carnegie Tech seems to
have too much or at least enough
for N. Y. u, and I'll string with
the records just once more in 60
ing with Washington State against
Oregon State. In the same way,
