NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Inadequately
prepared for the ambush that un-
doubtedly lies Just ahead, this corner
more or less boldly hazards the fol-
lowing guesses on the outcome of this
weeks program:

querors of Holy Cross, masters now of
Bill Kerns Pitt football system and
long time jinx for the Fighting
Irish" Carnegie Tech believes it can
win this one. Nevertheless this bal
lot, strictly unguaranteed, goes to
Notre Dame.
Yale-Michigan: In the conviction
that Michigan is one of the countrys
10 best teams, this votes goes to the
Wolverines despite the fact Yale al
ways has been troublesome for Crisler-
coached outfits.
Harvard Dartmouth: The Harvards
may have won moral victories over
Cornell and Army. but the pay-off
still is on the outfit which scores the
most points. Dartmouth.
Fordham- Oregon: The Webfoots
are strong. but Fordham, with one
big game finally under its collective
belt, rates the call.

Holy Cross-Georgia: On the re-
bound after the unexpected Carnegie
Tech defeat. Holy Cross.

overly "bullish" on Baylor's Bears,
but this nod is in their general direc-
