BY GEORGE KIRKsEY Limited Press tSaff Correspondent

New York, Oct. 26-(UP)-oive 6 thought today to the "unvictorious six"--Harvard Indiana, Nebraska, Washington, Washington State and Texas-who have been blowing through tough schedules Saturday after Saturday without once quaffing from the cup of victory.
 Watch these half dozen oft-hum- bled clubs; they are going to be tough babies from now on. Some where along the line they are apt to shock the gridirt n wiseacres with Q sudden reversal of form against elevens with superior records and enough press clippings to make the game seem in the bag,
 This may be the week when one or more of the bedraggled members of the "unvictorious six" quits beating around the mulberry bush and goes to town. Washington State, after i've straight defeats, is likely to see day. light for the first time and cross the victory line in it's game with Con- zaga.
 Washington has an oil week but the other four have tough opponents. Harvard plays Princeton, Nebraska takes on Missouri, Indiana engages Wisconsin and Texas meets 6. M, ..
 Going We'll
 It's not beyond the realm of pos- sibility that Harvard, improving from week to week, may win the Big Three title. The Crimson has had . chance tow in every game 1t has played except in the 20-0 loss to Cor nell. It lost to Brown, 20-i3; to Army, 20-i7, losing the lead three times: and to Dartmouth, i3-7. Dart- mouths unbeaten team had It's hands full beating bcak the persistent Harvards,
 Indiana and Nebraska, both beat. en three times and tied by each other, might easily Do in the unde- feated class now with c few breaks, The Hoosiers lost to Ohio State. e-O, outplaying the Buckeyes all the way: to Illinois, i2-2; tied Nebraska, O-0; and lost to Kansas State, i3-0. The Cornhuskers were licked by Mime. sota, i6-7; by Iowa State, 0-7; tied Indiana, 0-0; and bowed to Okla. home, l4-0. They haven't been pick ing on any setups and every club they play from here out had better DO ready for full afternoon. Imagine coaches like Do McAfiliin and Bif Jones going into the last Saturday of October without q vic. tory.
 Texas has been pushed oil over the field, getting clipped by Kansas, 1918; by L. S. U., 20-O; by Okla. homa, i3-0; by Arkansas. 42-6; and by Rice, i3-e. The Longhorns showed they were on the way back last Saturday by battling Rice into the fourth period before losing,

 Psychology
 Tn modern football suicide sched- ules sometimes get q good team in psychological rut they can't pull out Of until an entire season is shot Ia pieces with defeats. But somewhere along the line these teams which eet Kicked around usually rise up and smack down team with Q fancy record in what goes in the books as terrific upset.
 One of the greatest examples of this came in the 1893 Notre Dame- Army game. Notre Dame had won only two of eight games, but closed the season with 6 glorious i3-i2 yic- tory over Army, which had won nine straight games.
 Don't sell the "unvictorious sixV short They'll be heard from.
