 Rice is the choice over Arkansas at Fayetteville, and Baylor over Texas in Austin, but both will know they have given a perform ance
 Navy isn't likely to have as much good fortune make 1t as close against Notre Dame in Baltimore as plucky Army did at the Yankee Stadium. The Irish will be up as a result of the scare.
 West Point is back on its feet firmly enough to repel Brown at Michie Stadium.

Franklin and Marshall's capable crowd should keep New York University back on its heels in New York. George town will dispose of Maryland as 1t pleases at College Park.
 It will be totally unnecessary for Carl Snavely to call Cornell sig nals from the bench as the Big Red continues its mad runaway in the Yale Bowl.
 Pennsylvania works out on Har- var dat Franklin Field and Prince ton on Dartmouth at Palmer Stadi- um.
 It's Wesleyan over Williams at Williamstown, and Amherst over Trinity in Hartford.
