only inmates in the institution now,

Even the best of dopsters have
missed a few this week, but local
maestro has turned a list into the
Post which is about as good as any
ones guess yet. Perhaps you don't
agree, but all goes along in gridiron
predictions.
Lansing over Galax.
Appalachian over Elon.
Duke over Wake Forest.
Carolina over Davidson.
State over Furman.
Tenn. over Citadel.
Virginia over Maryland.
Clemson over S. c.
Washington Lee over v. P. I.
Alabama over Sewanee.
Tulane over Mercer.
Georgia over Holly Cross.
Vanderbilt over La.
Erskine over Newberry.
He mentions some others that
look like a sure thing, but we will
take exceptions in the matter Of Ga.
over Holly Cross. We believe
Georgia will be crossed out here. We
believe Auburn stands good
chance to lick Georgia Tech, and
South Carolina to beat their Glenn
son brothers. But this is all sup
position, we leave it to the score
board on Saturday.
