NEW YORK. Nov. 22-Just one
treacherous football guessing trail:
Wisconsin ADMINISTRATIVE knows
where the lightning might strike
next? 1t could happen even here,
particularly with so dangerous, if
erratic, club as the Badgers in
volved. Still, one solid vote for
Minnesota to close its season un-
beaten and united.
~ Cornell -Penn-The Big Red apa.
parently has fallen far of its early
season form, but perhaps the de
layed" Dartmouth defeat will turn
out to be one of those well-known
blessings in disguise. Cornell's de-
fense seems much tighter than
Penns. Frank Reagan probably will
be the best back on the field, but
we'll take Cornell to win the ball
game.
Boston College Auburn - The
Plainsmen come North with a for
midable scoring machine and great
back in Dick McGowen. 1t may be
close. but the choice is Boston
College.
One Vote for Harvard.
Yale Harvard-Both have come
long way since their early season
pastings. This ballot for Harvard is
based on the belief that the Crimson
has come farther and has the greater
reserve strength.
Tennessee Kentucky - Another
traditional affair with all the un-
certainty that implies. Nevertheless
it seems the best Kentucky can hope
for is to hold the score to respectable
proportions. Tennessee.
Ohio State-Michigan: Dangerous
spot for Tommy Harmon and Michi-
gan and no shattering surprise either
way. Ohio State has played well
all season and might turn the trick.
A none-too-confldent vote for Mich
igan.
Northwestern-Notre Dame: North
western seldom has much luck
against Notre Dame, but this is once
when it seems the Wildcats have a
definite edge, especially in the line.
Northwestern.
Mississippi State-Mississippi: One
of the toughest of them all to figure.
State, led by Harvey johnson, is
unbeaten, but was tied by Auburn.
Ole Miss dropped one-point heart
breaker to Arkansas, but otherwise
has perfect record. Out of the hat,
one vote for Hovious, Hapes and
Mississippi.
S. NJ. U. Is Given Nod.
Baylor Southern Methodist: A
battle royal, but We'll stick with
S. M. U.
Oklahoma Temple: Probably close.
Oklahoma.
Nebraska Iowa State: The Cy-
clones may make trouble, but hardly
enough to upset the probable Big
Six champions. Nebraska.
U. c. L. A.-Washington: The
Bruins finally found the scoring and
winning combination last week.
Washington, but leave your cash in
the safe.
Princeton-Army: The Cadets prob
ably will be thinking too much
about next weeks Navy game to
worry about this one Princeton.
Pitt-Penn State: Pitt has devel-
oped surprisingly well. Probably
we'll regret it, but we'll take flyer
,on Pitt to snap States undefeated
string.
Brown-Dartmouth: Dartmouth's
on the upswing and Brown seems
past the peak. A doubtful vote for
Dartmouth.
Columbia Colgate: Close enough.
The coin decides. Columbia.
Georgetown-George Washington:
No possible selection but George
town.
Holy Cross Manhattan: Manhat-
tan, has no luck. Holy Cross.
Looks Easy for Lafayette.
Il Lafayette-Lehigh. Old rivals these,
but this looks no contest. Lafayette.
yifanova-Duq A vote for
Duquesne.
Purdue Indiana: Both spotty, but
this game never goes the way it
figures to anyway. Revolving like q
top. Indiana.
Iowa-Illinois: Looks q tight de-
fensive duel. Iowa doubtfully.
