which are traditionally important
to their respective followers.

nicipal stadium months before the
service elevens took the field for
their 48th annual battle, since sea.

The Cadets, having won four, lost
two and tied two, were slight favor
ties, both on their overall record
and their slightly better showing
against three common rivals, Co.
lumbia, Penn and Notre Dame. Navy
has one victory and one tie In eight
starts.
Other Big Contests.
Elsewhere on this final big Satur-
day Of the 1947 season, the biggest
games on the schedule probably are
Georgia VS.. Georgia Tech, Missis-
sippi vs.. Mississippi State. Texas
Christian VS.. Southern Methodist
and Holy Cross VS.. Boston College.
The Southeastern Conference
championship Is involved In the first
two contests. Mississippi, the lead
er, has to win this one to take the
title. Should Charley Coner1y and
his teammates falter, Georgia Tech
could 60 to the top by beating
Georgia, or Mississippi State could
make 1t by the default Of both the
leaders.
Georgia Tech has an added incen.
tive to cop the title, having been Sc
lected only yesterday to oppose
Kansas In Miami's Orange Bowl.
Mississippi has accepted bid to the
Delta Bowl, new postseason fixture
at Memphis, with Texas Christian
as the opponent. Mississippi State
and Georgia are under consideration
by sponsors Of the Alamo Bowl at
San Antonio, Tex.
Southern Methodist, already elect
ed to play Penn State in the Cotton
Bowl likewise aims to close out its
regulation season by laying claim to
the Southwest Conference title with
a victory over T. G. us Horned
Frogs. Baylor meets Rice in anoth-
er old Southwest rivalry.
In the East, Boston College and
Holy Cross meet in one OF those
anything -can-happen games, with
B. c. likely to get one Of the minor
bowl bids by polishing of its ancient
rival. Others In the traditional
category are West Virginia at Pitts.
b,lrgh and Fordham and N. Y. D.
at New York.
Border Title at Stake.
The border conference title will
be decided In the meeting of Har-
din-Simmons and Texas Tech, both

Other season-end fixtures in the
south pit Virginia VS.. North Caro-

The local collegiate football season

The local collegiate football season
ends today with University of Mary
land playing North Carolina State
at College Park. The Terrapins,
who already have won seven games
and dropped only two for a record
far better than last seasons 3-6
figure, are slight favorites. Game
time Is 2 o'clock.
This will be the last game for
only four Terrapins, presaging an
other good year for Maryland In
1948. Those seeing action for the
last time-unless q bowl game comes
up-are Ends George Simler and
Fred Davis, Tackle Wilbur Rock and
Back Sammy Behr.
Two players in today's game are
In position to snare national leader
ship in two different departments.
|Lu Gambino, Maryland's big scoring
threat, needs 20 points to finish as
the Nations leading scorer. He's
now In fifth spot with 96 points
while leading the pack is Chuck
Schoenherr Of Wheaton ullo Col
lege, who already has finished his
season with lis points. OF the other
three players ahead of Gambino
all from small colleges, incidentally
only Darwin Horn of Pepperdine stif
has a game to play.
Getting 20 points may be tough fol
Lu. Best he's scored in any game
is 1s, which he did against South
Carolina, Delaware, West Virginia
and Duquesne.
Also after a record Is Leslie (Foot-
sie) Palmer, the Wolfpack kicker
All Footsie has to do is keep to or
close to his present punting average
of 44.3 yards per boot to break the
all-time record OF an even 43 yards
