I NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-P)-Aft-
er weeks of roaming the country
side for potshots at various out
siders, most major college foot
ball teams retire to their own
bailiwicks tomorrow to do what
they can toward settling sectional
and conference feuds.
One notable exception will be
provided at Baltimore, where the
Navy powerhouse that has rolled
over Villanova, Duke and Penn
State without having its goal line
crossed collides with Georgia
Tech team that has been pointing
for this game for two weeks.
But the rest of the skinny in
tersectional schedule looks rath-
er lop-sided, with such teams as
unbeaten Notre Dame moving In
against Pittsburgh, which lost to
both Illinois and Michigan State,
and Army-the best in the land
entertaining the Melville Or. ID
torpedo boat base, team that
is undefeated but hardly in Ar
my's class.
In the Midwest, southeast and
Southwest, however, there are
enough conference headliners to
make up for the lapses on the part
of the schedule-makers elsewhere
and delight the boys who pay the
freight at the gate.
Ohio State and Purdue, ranked
fourth and ninth in the nation,
respectively, tangle at Columbus
in the top-notch engagement of
full Big Ten card. Both have
walloped Wisconsin and Iowa in
conference play.
Indiana, with no worse than a
tie on its record, invades Iowa,
Illinois goes to Wisconsin, and
Minnesota. the country's number
five team, will be at home against
Northwestern, with Michigan idle,
In the Southeastern conference,
a strong Louisiana State team in
vades Georgia, undefeated and
reinforced by the return of Char
ley Trippi.
Alabama, the nations sixth best
with three wins in three starts,
meets an invading Tennessee
team with a similar record. Au-
burn will be at Tulane and Ken
lucky at Vanderbilt.
The Southern Conference sched-
ule sends Wake Forest to North
Carolina State, Virginia Tech to
Maryland and Virginia Military
to William and Mary and non
conference struggles in the south
find Eastern Flying Training
command at Mississippi State and
Cherry Point at North Carolina.
Texas, unbeaten favorite in the
Southwest Conference, will be on
its home field against Arkansas
in the league card which also in
cludes Rice at Southern Methodist
and Texas A. and M. at Texas
Christian, while Baylor steps out
of conference play to invade Tex
as Tech.
A full schedule in the Blk Six
sends Kansas to Oklahoma, Ne
braska to Iowa State and Kansas
State to Missouri. The unbeaten
favorites of the Missouri Valley
A. and M. and Tulsa
- play intersectional games. The
Aggies visit Utah and Tulsa will
be at home with Nevada.
In the east, sectional tussles
send Colgate against unbeaten
Columbia, undefeated Holy Cross
against Brown, Bucknen against
Penn State, Coast Guard against
Boston College and New London
Sub Base against Harvard.
Washington invades Oregon
State and Washington State meets
Oregon in Pacific Coast confer
ence games, while Southern Cali
fornia takes on College of the
Pacific in a montague affair.
Colorado College will be at Colora-
do in the Rocky Mountains.
