To Beat Ohio State;
Alabama Picked
BY HAROLD CLAASSEN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-There's
nothing like an upset to thrill the
football spectator and some $1,000
fans will jam Philadelphia Frank
lin Field tomorrow for Pennsyl-
vania's clash with Navy in hopes
of viewing a twist in form similar
to the ones which sent Ohio State
and Georgia down to defeat week
ago.
Both the Quakers and Middies are
undefeated and each holds berth
among the country's top 10 teams as
determined by the weekly Associated
Press poll. The only Penn casualty
is Coach George Munger, suffering
from influenza.
Navy's hospital roll is longer than
child's Christmas list, but the
Middies get this corners very hesi-
tant vote to triumph.
Other selections:
Ohio State-Minnesota: The pres
sure of their winning streak is off
the Buckeyes and they may re-
bound and halt Minnesota's hope of
gaining the Big Ten crown. But
the Gophers' all-around attack is
too much. Minnesota.
Duke-Army: A year ago Duke led
Army at the half, to 6, and may
repeat that experience this year, but
! by the end of the game the Cadets
definitely will be out in front. Army
Trippi Not Quite Enough.
Georgia Alabama: Charlie Trippi
has had another week to work his
talents into the Georgia setup. The
Bulldogs will need more than that
to stop the tosses of Hurting Harry
Gilmer. Godfrey Steiner will start
at halfback for Georgia, while his
brother, Rebel Steiner, plays end
for Alabama. Alabama.
Purdue Northwestern: Purdue's
reaction to its triumph over Ohio
State week ago may make this
close. Purdue.
Southern California Washington ::
The TrojansS haven't been beaten
by college club this year-and
don't intend to ruin that record this
week. Southern California.
Holy Cross Colgate: Stan Kos
lowski, Holy Cross great back, may
not play because of a knee injury
His absence would make it a tight
affair. Holy Cross.
Iowa-Notre Dame: This contest
ends the Hawkeyes' record of never
having lost football game to Notre
Dame. Notre Dame.
Cornell-Yale: Naval transfers and
returnees have altered both clubs
beyond recognition, but Cornell still
has the passing of Allan Dekdebrun.

tian: Bob Fenimore. the Nations S
top ground gamer, spells the differ
ence. Oklahoma A. and M.

porous pass defense to decide. Tulsa.
