NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-tR-l
Making the seasons second ap-
pearance as a football forecaster
with the full knowledge that last
weeks record of only three losses
in "a selections won't be ap-
preached.
The selections (probable attend
ances in parentheses):
Notre Dame over Pittsburgh
$4,000: The Irish have dropped
some and Pittsburgh has come a
long way since year ago but
Notre Dame should have enough
left.
Duke over Pennsylvania 100000:
Penn has two huge tackles but an
al-freshnan backfield. It's likely
to be close.
Navy over North Carolina Pre-
Flight Q4,000): The country's pre-
season choice as the No. college
football team makes its. debut.
Army over North Carolina g.
00O): Despite North Cardinals set
back by Wake Forest last week,
the cadets will learn here if they
have a line to 60 with their publ
cized backs.
California over UCLA (50,000):
The home field advantage should
give the Golden Bears the needed
lift in a game that could 60 either
way.
Tennessee over Kentucky Q8,-
0OW: Neither team played las.
year and Kentucky will wish it
still was idle.
Michigan over Indiana 100000:
The Culigan-Rifenburg passing
combine to defeat but not over
shadow the Hoosiers' Bob Hoern-
schemeyer.
Great Lakes over Illinois (25,-
000): Injuries and losses by Navy
regulations to hurt the Illini.
Southern California over College
of Pacific 100000: Not even Mr..
Stages presence can help here.

100000: Frank Thomas never has
lost an opening game since taking
over the Crimson Tide.
Northwestern over Wisconsin:
Freshman jug Girard isn't enough
for the Badgers.
Minnesota over Nebraska: The
Gophers stood up well last week
against the more numerous Iowa
SeahaWks.
Ohio State over Missouri (25,-
00W: The Buckeyes are labelled
the best all-civilian team in the

They are playing it in Florida.

the opposition is tougher this time.
