 Three times in the past the Irish have invaded Iowa City with un- beaten teams, as they will again this weekend And three times an underdog Iowa eleven has tri- umphed.
 Iowa however hasn't the reserve power to Outlast the Irish

 Southern California over Stan ford The Trojans apparently came to week ago in their 28 to 0 win over Washington but don't be surprised if only three-points sep arate the two Saturday.
 Tennessee over Wake Forest: Un- less the Vols are dreaming too much about their 12 to 0 victory over Alabama last week they should have little difficulty.
 Texas over Rice: One of the countrys great teams meets good club
 Harvard over Holy Cross: This IS the time that a stubborn defense will prove the better offense.
 Oklahoma A g. M over Texas Christian: Bob Fenimore is back in tip-top shape and the cowboys should start roaming again
 Ohio State over Minnesota: II has been a long time since Min nesota team has gone into a Big Nine fray pointing, with pride, to it's aerial attack. It won't be en- ough.
 Cal Over Wash
 California over Washington: For the second straight Saturday the Huskies will see more of the State of California than they desire.
 Michigan over Illinois The Illini haven't beaten Michigan since they upset Tom Harmon and Company in 1939. They'll have to wait an ether year at least.

THAT WILLIAMS
 SHIFT, OLD STUFF

NEW YORK, Oct 26. - Major League master minds have been using the Williams shift for years and it didn't change much whether the Williams was Cy, Ken or Ted.
 When Lou Boudreau, manager of tie Cleveland Indians came up with that right-side. switch against Ted Williams one day last July baseball men hailed the move as a revolutionary enc.
 However, Eddie Dyer, boss of the world champion St. Louis Cardin- als, who used the same switch so effectively against the Boston Red Sox slugger in the World Series, admitted he borrowed the idea from his old boss, Branch Rickey.
 Dyer said that Hickey, who man. aged the Cards from 1919 to 1925, originated the idea of the shift against Fred CCy) Williams of the Philadelphia Phillies around 1923"

mons comes to join that innumer-
able caravan, which leads to that
mysterious realm, where each

halls of death.
Thou go not like quarry slave
at night scourged to his dungeon
but sustained and soothed by that
unfaltering trust; approach thy
grave like one who wraps the
drapery of his couch about him
and lies down to pleasant
dreams"
