YALE OVER ARMY
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH


International News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK. Oct. 16.-By sun.
down today. we'll all have much
better idea than we have now,
which happens to be roughly none
at all as to which football teams
are good and which aren't in at
least two of the major sections
of the country, namely, the East
and South.
BY the same hour. at least nine
of the country's ranking outfits
can and might be defeated for
the first time and. for this duol'
OILS distinction. I'm nominating
Tennessee. Fordham, Harvard,
Mississippi. Texas A. and M, the
Army. Centenary, Vanderbilt, and
Georgia Tech. trust they won
let this spoil their day. .,
Tennessee, having just come OH
q tough scoreleSs tie with Duke,
doesn't figure to be ready Tor an
other Brannigar so soon, this one
with undefeated Alabama, Whlch
took South Carolina just handlly
enough to be nicely sharpened 1or
today.
DUKE VS.. GEORGIA TECH
Duke, meantime, goes down to
Atlanta to play Georgia Tech
which has scored 1l9 points to
none against three opponents.
Wallace Wade hasn't had Two
bad games in a row since taxing
over at Duke some years ago ana
I don't think he's due to oreak
the continuity now. In the hgnC
of later developments, 1t may De
that the championship OF the
South is to be paid off with these
two games. =.
Certainly. the championship OF
the East would seem to be ouV
there on the auction counter, WIN
six undefeated teams coupled IN
the going at New YORK. new
Haven and Baltimore.
At New York, Pitt, the Rose
Bowl champion, will have another
fling at Fordham, this time with
q sound chance of winning by as
many as two touchdoWns. Ford
ham eked out a bloodless tie last
year, but just doesn't figure this
time.
YALE OVER ARMY
At New Haven, Yale and the
Army will put on another Of their
florid extravaganzas, with every
body more or less reduced to
picking the winner by ear. AS
a distinguished member of the
We-Wuz-Wrong Club, this posi-
lively qualities me to state that
Yale ought to win this one.
At Baltimore, I'm taking un-
defeated Navy over undefeated
Harvard, using more or less the
same infallible method.
West Coast football won't do
anything drastic, what with the
champion-apparent California out
fit dallying with College Of the
Pacific. The Big Ten will be
pretty much the same, with Ohio
State inactive, although North
western is picking up a live one
in Purdue, while Michigan may
turn out to be less Supine than
Minnesota suspects. The Big Six
likewise seems to face a fairly
orderly day, unless Oklahoma up
sets Nebraska at Lincoln.
In this connection, it's worth
stating that upsets at Lincoln can
be counted on t!.2 fingers of an
old maids mitten and, besides,
Oklahoma is doing lot of travel
ing in one week from Dallas to
Norman to Lincoln. Therefore
Nebraska to win.
"ACTION' SCHEDULE
The Southwest, of course, plays
an action" schedule throughout
and today'S events furnish no out
standing exception, especially un-
defeated Centenary versus un-
feated Baylor and undefeated
Texas Aggies versus Texas Chris
tian. think T. C. U. is worth a
flier, with the Aggies yet to prove
they have concerted attack.
Baylor is riding along nicely now
and figures against Centenary.
A few more free-style guesSes,
StrlctIy Tor my own amusement
and probably yours:
East-Dartmouth over Brown;
Tulane over Colgate; Notre Dame
over Carnegie Tech; Columbia
over Pennsylvania: Cornell over
Syracuse; Villanova over Man
haitian.
South-Auburn over Mississippi
State: Louisiana State over Missis-
Sippi; Southern Methodist over
Vanderbilt.
Middle West - Wisconsin over
Iowa; Princeton over Chicago;
Illinois over Iowa; Minnesota
over Michigan; Northwestern over
Purdue.
West Coast-U. S. C. over Ore
gon; Washington over Washing
ton State.
