Bookies W airy
On Big Games
New York. for st
Time Isn't Picking
Irish as Favorites
BY PAT ROBINSON
News Service sports Writer

International news service sports Writer
NEW YORK, Nov. 5. - It's
strange the effect few football
upsets has on the mind of broad
way bookie. II a team has been
winning for him. he will be in
creasingly liberal in his odds on
that team. But let that team suf-
fer single setback and he crawls
into a shell.
Take Notre Dame, for instance.
We can't recall when a Notre
Dame team hasn't been the favo-
rite in this town no matter what
club it was playing. But the Irish
were held TO scoreless tie by
Army and so today we find the
books Offering a cautious and ten
tative 8 to 10 and pick EN- on
the Irish and Navy.
Strangely enough, those odds
seem fair enough at this time.
Both teams are unbeaten and both
have been tied and they play in
the same league.
OTHERS RATED EVENLY
And the books don't know what
TO do about that Tulane team. 1t
wins when it figures 10 lose and
loses when it should win. There
fore, we find Alabama Tulane also
quoted at s 10 10 and pick. as are
Rice and Arkansas, Detroit and
Marquette, South Carolina and
Kansas State ION the strength of
the upsets both have registered) +.
Purdue and Michigan State and
Ohio State and Wisconsin.
Remember. this is only the early
line and undoubtedly some of the
foregoing teams will swing into
decided favoritism.
But if the bookies are un-
wontedly cautious about these
teams. they have no doubt what
ever about Texas. Fordham and
Duke for they are quoting each of
them at 5 TO / against. respec-
lively, Baylor. Pitt and Davidson.
And one daring" bookie will give
you ) 10 that all three win and
any tie 10 count against him.
STRONG on MISsOITRI
Moreover, IL you think that
NYU has any chance against Mis-
sour the bookies viii let you
write your own ticket. Or they
will give you NYU and 20 points
at even money.
Minnesota, because OF injuries
TO three stars, Is tentatively
offered at only 3 10 / against Ne
braska and that price goes for
resurgent Stanford against South
ern California; Brigham Young
against Wyoming; Iowa against
Illinois and Oklahoma against

over Centenary; Cornell over Yale ::
Georgetown over Maryland: Wash

doubt that anybody will want any
