Tennessee and Vanderbilt play
host to Fordham and Purdue, re-
spectively, with the Southern teams
| likely to meet defeat on their home
| gridirons, this weekend. Fordham
won after a stubborn struggle from
Purdue last Saturday and both
teams showed enough to cope with
this weeks rivals. Fordham looks
like one of the best teams in the
east and should chalk up a neat
win over Tennessee. Purdue has
the power to down Vanderbilt and
unless all signs are wrong, the
Boilermakers will show to good
effect.
The governors of North and
South Carolina will shake hands
before the Tarheels and Gamecocks
meet. But the amenities will cease
with that. The fur is sure to fly
when these rivals meet and South
Carolina will get hunk for a touch
down drubbing it had to swallow
last year.
Louisiana State is rolling in high.
Rice has a powerful team, but a
shade the worst of it when it
tackles the Baton Rouge Tigers.
Rice upset the dope last season but
will have to perform a gridirop
miracle to win this one.
Clemson is coming into its own
and should score an upset over
North Carolina State. Clemson has
plenty of punch in its backfield
and a line second to none in the
South. Give this one to Clemson
in a tight score.
Tulane has the spark to vanquish
Auburn. This one is going to be
plenty close, but Tulane figures
high in anyone's book.
William and Mary shows promise
of being the Southern conference
champions and while the scrappy
little Virginia Tech team will fight
it out all the way William and
Mary will show to better advantage.
Texas Aggies can be counted on
to show it's best form against Texas
Tech. This one figures to be a
handy win for the Aggies and show
the stuff that made the experts
pick them as one of the best teams
| in the southwest. Georgia won't
need Sinkwich to roll up a tidy
score against little Furman. This
one is only a breather for Missis-
sippi next week.
Navy is going to taste victory
when it tackles a light-scorIg Vir-
finia eleven. Bill Dudley is gone
and that means the Cavaliers do
not figure to bother Navy.
