IF AND BUT DEPARTMENT

They say things must get worse
before they can hope to get better
and C. Mortimer Crumbly, D. A. S.
doctor of Athletic Statistics) certain
ly hopes this is a true statement of
the case. Last Saturdays sundown
brought large headache to the doc
tor. He had selected SO games and
saw 26 of them go bad while five
more were getting nowhere. The aver
age is now down to .8l2.
Docs old pal, Wake Forest, went
right back in the coma it likes so well
and allowed Clemson to declare field
day. Funny club! 1t can be the most
powerful ground crew one day and
silly bunch Of freshmen the next.
Rice, which has shown promise and
little else the past couple of years
has arrived. The decisive win over
L. S. u establishes the team as a
real threat. Stanford, through a one
point margin (Which Doc. had given
to Santa Clara) takes the lead on the
coast putting Shaughnessy-Sc Schwartz
coaching combine up front.
In the east, Navy must be given
consideration now and Princeton drop
ped from front ranking while the game
between Cornell and Penn at the close
of the season should be the one to
settle things. Fordham and Boston
College are the only other clubs ap-
pearing to have any claims although
Duquesne isn't completely out Of the
running.
Never one to go for Schmidt's brand
of ball, Doc. predicted the hipper-dip-.
per stuff would backfre, but who
thought it would blow up so early in
the season? When protecting a three
point lead in the final minutes Of the
ball game how smart do you consider
it to throw a pass from within your
own 20-yard line?
Northwestern must go up along,
side of Michigan, Minnesota and Notre
Dame in the midwest, the country's
strongest sector The Irish used their
regulars less than quarter. In that
short time they ran the score to 200
against good Georgia Tech team and
retired The rest of the squad got
one touchdown and allowed three.
Take it easy and let's go:
Akron -Wayne-We are quite through
with Akron and pick Wayne 30 you
can bet your money on the Zippers.
Alabama Tennessee One Of those
game-of- the day things and it will
be good one. Had Alabama a good
experienced quarterback, the game
would be in, but sophomore leader
is bound to make mistake or two
and that is the difference needed for
the Vols to pull through. But, for
the upset of the week, the hunch is
Bama
Albright -Catawba - Catawba drops
one.
Amherst Rochester-Another lean day
for Rochester.
Arizona Centenary The Wildcats
celebrate homecoming by repeating
last years score on Centenary.
Arkansas as-Texas-AbOut as pretty q
scrap AZ you'd care to see with
Texas and Grain looking plenty
good.
Army y-Harvard-Not much to choose
between these two, but Harvard gets
the call.
Auburn Southern Methodist-SMU u
was a sad disappointment last week
as they allowed Pitt to walk of
with all honors except punting in
tie game. Naturally they missed
their signal-calling cO-captain, but
even so, the play was below the
Auburn standard for this year.
Baldwin Wallace Western Reserve
The sophs at B-W are going to con-
tinue the pace now that they have
the feel of touchdown fever.
Bates Northeastern-Bates by the pro-
verbal mile.
Baylor-Villanova Baylor's not as
strong as we thought. It's Villanova
Boston College -Idaho-f it's less than
40 points for BE call for your free
pass to East Lynn.
Boston U.-Cincinnati-A world series
is enough glory for one town.
Bowdoin- Williams Williams by a
whisker.
Bradley Tech Michigan State - State
can't miss here.
