game to date are Lane Prairie View, Livingstone Morris
Brown, Florida Wiley Shaw, Southern Texas KY State
Alcorn, Xavier, and LeMoyne.
Of those lS outfits ten are in dangerat least, hy-
potheticay losing their undefeated status in

Shaw who is sentenced to hot date against the Lincoln

tabshed favOrites in games against Texas MOrehOuSe
Tuskegee Ark. State, Prairie View, N. c. State and Phi
lander Smith, respectively it is not written that they shall
or will win
Undefeated Livingstone is almost certain to get blem
ished this week against powerful North Carolina State but
Alcorn should take Jackson College in stride despite the
fact that their game is in the latters backyard.
The Prairie view-Texas College stir is a natural"
Prairie View top billed club in the Southwest loop this
and coavorite for national honors is the choc by the
books But interesting observation that Prairie View
with first class teams yearly hasn't beaten Texas entry
in a half decade.
Prairie Views hope of breaking the jnx that has
bounded Sam Taylor since he joined the Southwest
ranks hinges what the Panthers can do against the
Steers in Prairie View this week end This is game for
which the Taylomen will be keyed to the tilt.
Judging from the $50 pasting Prairie View smeared
Totson with only partme use OF her heavy guns last
Saturday. Sam Taylor good and ready for FOrney Num-

Benedict, in particular will be dangerous because the
Tigers got plenty of experience and tuning up against
promising Florida eleven last week end Va State will have
the consolation of Buefeds not having had previous
1910 either Another solace lies in the fact that the
Big Blues of the few clubs which lost heavily
