NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-A trio Of
sectional spats monopolize the ma
tional spotlight today with the un-,
beaten football teams of Georgia
and Alabama tangling at Atlanta;
all-winning Ohio State the guest
of Wisconsin, which boasts a SINH
lar record, and Army's triumphant
Cadets mixing with Penn's once
beaten Quakers at Philadelphia.
And the way the fans have re-
sponded to those choice riorsels
you would think the contests were
being played in pre-Pearl Harbor
days. Penn officials estimated that
10000 would sit in on the pro-
ceedings at Philadelphia, the Ala
bama- Georgia game has been a
seu-out for two weeks and therell
be 10000 filled seats at Madison
Wisconsin.
Virtually all the star players in
the three casts were fit for action
except at Philadelphia, where Earl
Blaik, coach of Army, named Bob
Woods to start in place of the.
injured Ralph (Santa Fe) Hill at
right half. Capt. Hank Mazur, the
other injured Army halfback, will
start. Penn's forces are all set for
the fray.
Wisconsin's Elroy Hirsch and Pat
Harder, both ailing much of the
week, will be in at the kickoff
against Ohio State and the argu-
ment the past seven days in Dixie
has been which of the two teams,
Alabama or Georgia, is the
healthier.
Navy. Irish to Draw Heavily.
Although the Cleveland meeting
between Navy and Notre Dame
doesn't have the glamour of the
top three, it probably will be wit
messed by the largest crowd, with
officials expecting $4,000. 1t will be
Coach Frank Leahy's first chance
to see the Irish in action since he
left for a 17-day stay in the hos
pital and the Ramblers opened a
winning streak.
Neither will there be many empty
seats at Durham, N. c., where the
revived Duke Blue Devils, their
casualty list wiped out, entertain the
unbeaten forces of Georgia Tech.
The Dukes never have lost to Georgia
Tech on their home field, but enter
today's fray as the underdogs.
Not only is the days schedule
heavy in quality, it also promises
quantity.
The Midwest, as usual, leads the
way with Iowa's Pre-Flight Cadets
expected to handle Bob Cowan and
Billy Hillenbrand of Indiana; Illi-
nois hopeful of starting another win
streak at the expense of Michigan;
Minnesota at Northwestern, Purdue
invading Iowa and the rampant
Missouri Tigers taking on the Great
Lakes outfit at St. Louis.
UcIans Are Ambitious
U. c. L. A., scored on only once by
a Pacific Coast Conference eleven.
will be after it's third loop triumph
with Stanford as the foe and Oregon
State, Rose Bowl champion, goes
against the Huskies of Washington.
California, the September title
choice, will try to salvage some of it's
prestige against Oregon. Santa
Clara and San Francisco University
wait until tomorrow for their game.
Texas Christian, another on the
dwindling list of unbeaten teams,
shouldn't have too much trouble
with Baylor and Texas A. & M. COL
lides with the hapless Razorbacks OF
Arkansas. Texas is listed as shade,
better then the Mustangs of South.
ern Methodist. :;
Princeton, gradually gaining rec,
ognition as one of the East's best.
opens this years Big Three series
with a trip to Harvard and should
return with its first win over the
Johnnies since 1885. Colgate goes
to Holy Cross and North Carolina
re-Flight threatens Syracuse un-
blemished record.
Brown to Miss Margarita. =
Yale's freshman studded varsity
is favored over Brown, whose Bob
Margarita is out with an injury.
Paul Governah likely will be the
deciding factor in the Columbia
Cornell fracas. Fordham and st.
Marys of California take over the.
Polo Grounds in New York City.
Sharing the Southern limelight
with the Alabama Georgia and
Georgia Tech-Duke affairs are the
meeting between Louisiana State
and Tennessee and the Vanderbilt
Tulane contest. Louisiana State,
loser only to Rice, is spanked by
Alvin Dark, sophomore halfback
sensation.
The intersectional program also
includes Boston University's trek to
Cincinnati and Michigan States
appearance at Temple.
