If Tech ever is going to awaken,
it should do so against st. Johns.

ST. Johns will enter the game
without Frank Cady and Ed Fogarty,
who probably have been lost through
injuries for the rest of the season.
If Gonzaga can defeat Washing

Tommy Hoover's right toe, it will
accomplish something both Central
and Western were unable to do.
Hoover's place kicks gave his side
a 1-point triumph over each. Wally

be stopped, as he has played lead

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Although
some college football elevens are
emerging slowly from the crowd, no
single team, nor dozen, can be
singled out as the best. ..
Saturdays results, close as some
were, produced fewer surprises than
on any previous week end this sea-
son and indications are that the
elimination of weaker contenderS
will continue this week in an even
more orderly manner.
AS things stand now, these teams
have proved clearly their right to
be ranked high in their respective
sections They're all undefeated, Of
course):
East-Pittsburgh. Midwest-Notre
Dame, Michigan. Ohio State, Okla
home, Nebraska, Kansas State. South
Tulane, Kentucky, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, North Carolina. Southwest
Texas, A. and NJ, Baylor. Rocky
Mountain Big Seven-Utah. Pacific
Coast-Oregon, Southern California,

Guiding some teams struggling to re-
cover from early setbacks and others
which have not had a chance to
prove their strength. These include
Carnegie Tech, Duquesne. Cornell
and Harvard in the East; Minnesota
and Purdue, midwest; Louisiana
State, Georgia Tech, Tennessee,
Clemson and Virginia Military,
South; Southern Methodist and New

good pairings are Holy Cross Brown,

one of the better teams and shouldn't

Eastern's football game with Ana
costa at Eastern Stadium Friday
promises public high title series fol-
lowers one of the best contests Of
the young season. while the Gen.
tral-Roosevelt fray at the latter's
field figures to be a breather for
Hardy Pearce's defending cham
pions, who will be making their
first start of the year in interhigh
play.
The first tilt might reveal Just
how strong is Anacostia. Already
victor over more highly regarded
Tech team, Roland Lund's scrappy
bunch will meet in Eastern an
eleven that just recently began to
hit its stride under Mike Kelley's
coaching. On comparative scores,
Eastern appears two touchdowns
better than the Indians.
The presence of Art Faircloth in
the Anacostia backf1eld makes the
Indians ever formidable, however,
while the Kelley crew can bank on
Francis Hallama. Both boys are
big. fast and elusive. Eastern, how
ever, has two other ball carriers,
Eddie league and Ray 500, who al
ways are dangerous.
No Party for Roosevelt.
AS far as their game with Central
Is concerned, it is likely that the
Roosevelt boys wouldn't care if it
was postponed until doomsday. From
ali outward appearances it will be a
case OF the strongest team in the
series meeting the weakest, although
the Riders did show possibilities
against Western last week.
Both teams have played three
games this season, Central winning
two and losing one-to Washington
Lee-for its first defeat in two years,
and Roosevelt losing all three while
failing to score single point.
Central has bigger and better
backs and more of them, while
Roosevelt must rely mainly on little
Billy Harris and slow, but sturdy
Bennie Kolker. A passing combina-
ton, Harris to Danny Boothe, ALI
High end, worked we'll against West
ern and might worry the Blue and
White.
