NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-Holding in
abeyance dictionary amendment
proposing to definN football as a
game of chance" this guesSer. how
ever misguided, hazards the follow
ing convictions as to this weeks
program:
Northwestern-Notre Dame-The
temptation is strong to select this as
the spot that marks Notre Danes
downfall. Northwestern can match
the Irish" in man-power, some
thing no other rival has done, and
has a habit of playing its best
against South Bend outfits. But
thats just whistlng in the dark.
Waving immunity. Notre Dame.
Yale Observation-Disclosures Dick
Harlows Harvard teams develop
steadily and smoothly, week by
week. slowly mastering the intri-
cacies of the Harlow hocus- pocus.
It's never safe to hold Yale lightly
in an objective game, but this ballot
goes to Harvard.
Duke-North Carolina State-Cant
see how Duke can lose this one.
T. c. U. Appears Safe.
Rice-Texas Christian--Unpredic
table Rice may give the unbeaten
Horned Frogs some trouble, but
Christian has proved its right to top
flight ranking and should win safely.
California Stanford - California
shouldn't find this too tough to
hurdle and stay in the Pacific Coast
Conference running.
Wisconsin Minnesota - Harry
Stuhldreher's Badgers must have
caught fire. Judging by successive
victories over Northwestern and U.
C. L. A. With the Big Ten title
In the bag for the winner. this
should be one of the days outstand-
ing fights. One faltering vote for
Wisconsin.
Pitt-Penn State-The Nittanv
Lions are fast. but light. Pitt is fast
and heavy If Goldberg returns it
probably will be rout. but with or
without Goldberg. Pitt
Princeton -Army-Hard to figure.
but Army gets the nod on the theory
that the Tigers hit their peak last
week against Yale and may regard
this as an anti-cllmaX.
Michigan Given Nod.
Ohio te-Michigan-Either can
figure in the Big Ten title if Wis
consin and Minnesota tie Michigan
has been the more consistent and
rates an edge on that basis alone.
Iowa State-Oklahoma-The Cy-
clones are surprisingly tough. but
seem to lack undefeated and united
Oklahoma's all-around class. Ok
lahoma.
Auburn n-Georgia-The Plainsmen
.eem finally to have mustered an
attack. Auburn.
Fordham South Carolina - The
southerners have come far since
last season. but the Rams look too
strong. Fordham.
Columbia Syracuse No harder
one to pick. Both have been in
and-outers all season. Out of the
bat. Syracuse.
towns clean slate looks safe.
Manhattan-West Virginia-Prob-
ably extremely close. The coin says
Manhattan.
Observation-Disclosures.
Purdue Favored.
Purdue -Indiana-The favorite sell
dom wins this one. but Purdue must
be the choice.
Chicago Illinois-Illinois.
Iowa a-Nebraska-Both we'll beat
en- and not much to choose. Ne
br7 ska.
Michigan State-Temple-Johnny
P.ngel ought to provide the winning
margin for Michigan State
Detroit Tulsa -Even-stephen, but
ta-e Detroit.
st. Missouri-Missouri rates
t''e nod.
Kansas State Washburn-Kansas
safe.
Georgia -Florda-Tech hand
it,.
Baylor Southern Methodist -
Ouch! From the bottom of an
exceedingly deep hole. Southern
Methodist.
Oregon Washington Close
cough. Washington.
Arizona -Marquette-No real line,
b. take Marquette.
