NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The Pa
cific Conference tomorrow will be
looking intently in the general d.
rection of the Southern California
and U. c. L. A. game. The odds
are that Southern California, with
better line, will win. But there
are no set-ups at this football stage.
Not when town rivals meet.
It Southern California wins there
will be busy and immediate hud-
die on the part of Rose Bowl forces.
1t will be no light tangle to un-
ravel. Southern California has the
stronger team. Southern California
outplayed California badly. These
are two important details. But
Southern California already has
been beaten twice, once by Alabama,
and Southern California may be
beaten again by Notre Dame. This
would make three defeats. The bowl
choice though. will be made prior
to the Notre Dame game.
You can understand from this the
perplexing situation that confronts
the Rose Bowl Committee or the
Conference judges.
The Roundup for Tomorrow.
Cornell-Pennsylvania The Big
Red line, headed by Roth at guard
and big McKeever at tackle should
be more than the Red and Blue can
handle-especially when flanked by
Holland and Spang. Most of these
Cornell stars are playing their final
game. A good day for Peck will
make big difference. Cornell much
the better team.
Alabama-Vanderbilt- of the
big games of the South between two
good teams Alabama has a more
experienced line-more experience
all the way through, and this should
give the Crimson Tide the winning
margin.
Brown Columbia Columbia was
tired team last Saturday night. On
all-season form the two teams have
been well-matched in playing
strength, but Brown now has the
edge after a Today rest. Browns
last stand against Holy Cross was
one OF the seasons features. Brown
has the call.
Tennessee-Kentucky Tennessee,
one of the few unbeaten, and un-
tied. has the winning edge with such
stars as Wyatt, Cafego, Wood and
others.
Villanova Manhattan - Manhat-
tan did q fine job on Saturday but
Is now up against a better team In
Clipper Smiths unbeaten Villanova
outfit.
Nebraska-Kansas State-A good
battle. Nebraska came back last
Saturday and should be on its way
in a close game. Nebraska.
Missouri -Kansas-I like Missouri
In first-class show.
North Carolina -Virginia-An old
fashioned Southern classic, where
North Carolina has the call.
I like Clemson over Furman and
Texas A. and M. over Texas. Arkan-
sas over Tulsa.
Southern California-U. c. L. A.
One Of the big games Of the coast
war. Southern California should
win with q better line, plus Lans-
dell.
Looking to Saturday.
Army-Navy Two well-matched
teams. The Army has the faster set |
Of backs and the better passing. The
Navy has a good line, but so has
Army. I think Army has the edge
In this one.
Pittsburgh Duke-One Of the big
games Of the year at Durham. Duke
is not only united and unbeaten but
on. Duke has q stronger
defense than Pitt, while the Pan
ther has the better attack II Gold
berg is ready to ramble again.
Duke has a fine kicker in Upton
the edge here. 1t should be no sur
prise to see draw between two Of |
the country's best teams.
Tulane-L. s. U.-1'll take q chance
on Tulane, with a fine back in Brun-
ner.
Holy Cross Boston College-Holy
Cross, with only q one-point de-
feat by Carnegie. should win.
like Oklahoma over Oklahoma
A. and NJ, Auburn over Florida,
Georgia and Georgia Tech, even;
Baylor over Rice, Texas Tech over
Washington over WASH
lngton State.
T. G. US. M. UT takes no
daring to stick along with Dave
O'Brien and XII Aldrich. 8. M. U.
has been coming fast, but not quite
last enough.
Dartmouth stamford - Stanford
gave California an even battle last
week, but Dartmouth's backs are
too fast. This time they won't face .
Cornell line.
Fordham-N. Y. U.-Tordham has |
Too much backfleld speed and 80
gets the call In . game that may
oe much closer than 1t looked to be
some weeks ago.
What They Are Thankful for.
The duder-For any conceded
putt.
