I'm WEEK-END'S|
GRIDIRON BILL.
BY LAWTON CARVER

One of the toughest and most
impressive second week programs
ever arranged will be presented to
the football customers tomorrow,
and another batch of upsets,
played to the means and groanS
of many a coach and old grad,
seems likely.
The mighty began to fall last
week with great crashes which
shook nearly every front, and such
sectional StandoutS as Louisiana
State, Tulane, Illinois, Florida,
Maryland and Southern Cal
ifornia already have been beaten.
Anything can happen again to-
morrow, when the season finally
will get under way in full blast,
with virtually all of the major
elevens in action and with most
of them against foes capable of
winning. The Shadow-boxing is
just about over now. They are
punching for keeps from here on
out.
GOES OUT ON LIMB
Having thus alibied my way
toward this weeks selections, I'm
now getting out on a none tool
stout limb with Columbia over
Yale and Minnesota over Nebraska
in what probably will be rated thel
days outstanding attractions.
Columbia and Yale both are un-
tested, but the boys from the side
walks Of New York seem to have
an edge over the New Haven team,
which since last season has lost
Dave Colwell, Clint Frank and Al
HeSsberg, among others. Mime
sofas Gophers have a tough
game under their belts-that win
over Washington-and should be
able to turn back Nebraska out
fit which is making its season
debut.
But both of those contests figure
to be tough and close, and the
same goes for most of the other
major attractions.
Pitt, which ran up a 19-to-O
score on a tough West Virginia
eleven last week, will have its
hands full with Temple, but that
great Pitt backfield. headed by
Marshal Goldberg, figures to be
the difference between the two
teams.
PICKS OTHER Tits
Tn other Eastern enVaEementS,
the winners should be Manhattan
over Niagara tonight, Cornell over
Colgate, Harvard over Brown,
Penn over Lafayette, Army over
v. P. l., Penn State over Mary
land, and Boston College, Dart
mouth, New York University,
Princeton, Holy Cross and Ford
ham over Sparring partners they
have chosen for a workout.
In South attractions, Navy fig
ures over V. M. l., Georgia over
South Carolina, Georgia Tech
over Mercer, North Carolina over
North Carolina State. Tennessee
over Clemson, Louisiana State
over Texas, Virginia over Wash
ington and Lee, Tulane over Au-
burn, Duke over Davidson and
Mississippi over Louisiana Tech.
In the Midwest. Notre Dame
should start the season with a
victory over Kansas in a close
game, Ohio State and Indiana
provide a tosS-up, Illinois figures
over DePaul. Michigan State over
Michigan, Northwestern over Kan
sas State, Wisconsin over Mar
quette, and Purdue over Butler.
HOLDS SLIGHT EDGE
On the Coast, U. C. L. A. has
slight edge over Oregon and
other winners should be California
over Washington State, Idaho over
Washington, Santa Clara over
Stanford, Southern California over
oregon State.
Down in the Southwest, with all
it's razzle- dazzle, Texas A. & M.
looks a. shade better than Tulsa,
Texas Christian figures over Ar
kansas, Southern Methodist should
turn back Arizona and Rice should
take Oklahoma.
