BY HARRY COSTELLO
Well, those who love to pick 'em
certainly face o tough one this
week.
The card:
1. Navy vs.. Yale.
2. Colgate vs.. Tulane.
3. Richmond VS.. Emory-Hen-
~.
4. South Carolina VS.. v. P. I.
5. Texas A. g. M. VS. Texas
Christian.
6. Tufts vs.. Colby.
7. Duke VS.. Georgia Tech.
Picking five winners in this
card stacks up as a task fit for
the All-America Board itself. In
any event, here's taking a fling.
/. Navy has excellent man
power. The MiddieS have improved
slowly but surely. Weak against
the forward pass in the Virginia
game of last Saturday, the Tars
face q good overhead attack from
the Yale eleven. Yale proved it.
self when it stopped the heavier
and more powerful Pennsylvania
team last Saturday. This game
should be packed with action. Id
like to say Navy but I'm afraid
I must say "ale.
Tulanes Wreak Havoc
2. Ever since Colgate became
known as the Mad Magicians of
the Chenango," the Tulanes, of
whom I know quite a bit, have
wreaked havoc with the Magicians.
Last year, for instance, Tulane,
licked by 40 points by Louisiana
State, dumped the Colgates for a
row of Chenangoes. Tulane is
greatly improved this season.
Colgate, so it's said, is better than
in several years. My choice is
Tulane.
8. Toss a coin. If it comes head,
Richmond; if it comes tail, Emery,
Henry. Two teams who have been
up against it insofar as attack is
concerned, since the beginning Of
the season. Some insist this looks
very much like a scorelesS tie,
Since one must pick winner.
I'll take Emory-Henry, for no
good reason at all.
4. South Carolina dropped Flor
ida last Saturday. Florida does
not have a grid team capable
enough to figure seriously in
Southeastern Conference competi,
ton. V. P. I. has improved each
Saturday. Since I once coached
the Gamecocks, and therefore
have it in my heart to wish Caro-,
lima well, I'll call this one in favor
Of South Carolina.
Battle Worth Seeing
5. If there is one game in Amer
lea this coming Saturday that I'd
love to see, next to the L. S. u
Mississippi game at Baton Rouge
it is the Texas A. & M.-TeXas
Christian battle. And, battle Ii
will be. The Aggies are right up
there this year. Christian always
is dangerous in a rivalry game.
> choose A & M.
6. Up New England way, for
many years now, it has been said
that no one successfully can pick
the winner Of the Tufts-Colby
game. Well, someone must .
some time or other pick the win
ner, even in a TuftS-Colby game
I'll take Colby, for no other rea
son than that Jack Lowney, old
Georgetowner, went to Colby by
, mistake before he discovered
Georgetown.
Z. Duke has it in for Georgia
Tech. The Rambling Wreck from
