 Blaik, but in the battle in the Bowl lean to the Yale club which spotted Virginia 19 points and came on to win in the second half and which twice scored on a very formidable Penn sylvania outfit in the second half.
 Against Harvard and Yale, Penn demonstrated that 1t has too much power for Princeton at Palmer Sta- diun.
 NUMBERS GIVE GEORGIA MARGIN OVER COLUMBIA
 George permitted Mississippi to obtain a 14-point lead in the third period, and yet was good enough to earn Q tie. The Bulldogs had better not give Columbia any such bulge at Baker Field, New York, but the nod must go to Athens numbers.
 Tn other New York games, Ford ham figures to really get rolling against West Virginia and New York University is in for another rough afternoon at the hands of Syracuse. I'm giving Andy Tomasic and Temple 8 shaky vote against Penn State in Philadelphia.
 Any club capable of turning back Colgate must be given @ margin over Harvard, so the Dartmouth Indians should scalp the Johnnies on their home lot.
 Tulane and Clemson took much steam out of Boston College, but the Eagles are too big and swift for Manhattan at Fenway Park.
 Georgetown appears too large for George Washington, but this one is always dog fight, and SO 1t will be at Griffith Stadium the night of Oct. IT.
 COLGATE CAN'T AFFORD TO TUMBLE AGAINST DUKE
 Colgate isn't going to continue to tumble as 1t did against Dartmouth, but I doubt that the Red Raiders will get over the juggernaut Wallace Wade has created at Duke.
 It's Jack Wilson and Baylor over tricky Villanova in Philadelphia the night of Oct. IT.
 | Mississippi, back on the right track after being edged by George. town in game 1t should have cap tured, seems bit too well balanced for Holy Cross in Worcester.
 have a hunch that Indiana, af- ter 8 disappointing start, should get going against good Nebraska out 1t in Lincoln.
 Michigan State surprised in re- polling Marquette, but the Spartans are unlikely to meet with such good fortune against Santa Clara in San Francisco. Marquette should get even at the expense of Kansas in Milwaukee.
 Rice, whieh surprisingly shaded smashing Tulane, 10-9, must be rated ahead of Louisiana State in Baton Rouge. Southern Methodist shouldn't have much trouble with Auburn in Birmingham.
 GRANGE LIKE WILDCATS DESPITE MICHIGAN BALANCE
 Though many good judges believe Michigan is even better balanced than 1t was with Tom Harmon and Forest Evashevski in the backfield, my offside prediction is that the Northwestern steamrol'er will pre- vail in a titanic struggle in Evans ton.
 Ohio State is little bit too well supplied with everything but Purdue in Columbus.
 Iowa gives Wisconsin another headache in Madison. Minnesota has Q comparative breather in Pitts burgh in Minneapolis. Carnegie Tech has no business in Pitt Sta- alum with Notre Dame.
 A high class Missouri array takes Iowa State pretty much in stride at Ames.
 Oklahoma should outstagger Kan sas State at Manhattan.
 In Southwestern Conference en- agreements Texas A. and M. is fa- vored over Texas Christian in a thriller in Fort Worth.
 Texas again romps against Arr kansas in Austin.
 'BAMA OVER TENNESSEE; TULANE BOUNCES BACK
 Alabama figures to successfully hurdle Tennessee in Knoxville. Tu- lane should bounce back against North Carolina in New Orleans. An electrifying Vanderbilt aggregation appears to have bit too much juice for Georgia Tech in Nashville. Vir- ginia should outcharge Virginia Military Institute at Lexington. be bounced around for the remain Southern California hardly will der of the campaign, SO I rather ex- pect the Trojans to deal Washington State another reverse in the Los Angeles Coliseum.
 Oregon matches California,s power and has too much finesse for the Bears in Portland.
 Washington towers over U. 0. L. A. in Seattle.
 Stanford doctors up it's first wounds in two seasons at the expense of San Francisco at Palo Alto.
 In the Rocky Mountains Big Seven, Utah should roll on against Brigham Young.
 But after what happened to Tu- lane and Stanford, don't sue me if I'm Vvr0N1 hnra and khara
