COLLEGE FOOTBALL
 UNDER WAY
By AUSTIN BEALMEAR

NEW YORK, Oct 6-lR-One of these days the folks who have been too busy following the World Series to notice college football are going to find that the grid season al ready is well under way and that the action to date has resulted in such impressions as these:
 1.-Notre Dame, Michigan, Texas and Georgia Tech look like the teams most likely to battle it out for the mythical national crown.
 2.-The title chase in the Pacific Coast Conference threatens to be the dizziest of them all
 3.-Army refuses to roll over and play dead, even though Glenn Da- wis and Doc Blanchard are no longer on the premises
 Notre Dame. the nations No. l team in 1946, arrived on the scene Saturday and, although somewhat tardy picked right up where it left off last year by crushing Pitts burgh, 40-6.
 Michigan, which entertains Pitt Saturday, lambasted Stanford 49- l3, while Georgia Tech blanked Tu- lane, 20-O, and Texas trounced North Carolina, $40, running the Tar Heels bid for an l-victorious season with one of the outstanding performances of the day.
 On Pacific Coast
 Meanwhile. Washington State dumped Idaho, TO- and Oregon State stopped Washington, 14-7, in couple of surprises on the Pacific Coast while UCLA bowed to North western 27-26. Nevada upset Ore gon, 13-6. and Southern California was held to a tie by Rice, TT
 All of which makes California, originally tagged as an also ran on the Pacific Coast, look more and mere Ike the team to beat after its 45-6 runaway over St Mary's.
 Army, unbeaten since 1943, waltz cd merrily along with a 47-0 breeze through Colorado, indicating that the Cadets are not going to be pushed around this year despite personnel losses.
 Army's true strength will be test cd Saturday when the Cadets risk their 30-game undefeated record against Illinois, 35-12 conqueror of Iowa, at New York in the Easts foremost attraction.
 Duke, 19-7 winner over Tennes- see, plays Navy at Baltimore while Columbia, which stopped Navy, 13 6, entertains Yale, 14-0 winner over Cornell, in an Ivy League contest.
 Notre Dame this week invades Purdue, surprise 24-20 winner over Ohio State, while Ohio State enter tains Southern California and Wis consin plays host to California.
 Oregon will be at UCLA and Idaho at oregon State in the Pa cific Coast Conference Washington plays host to St. Marys.

Pet Speech Peeve of the Week.

G. P. T., of Pittsburgh. submits
this Pet Speech Peeve, and wins q
free, autographed copy Of my Prac-
tical Handbook Of Better English:
my pet peeve is the women who
read the commercials on cosmetic
and soap programs. These women,
with their phony broad AS and
their ,agonized affections, should
have their mouths washed out with
good, strong, unscented lye soap"
The women broadcasters them
selves are not to blame. It is the
sponsors who insist on that artifi-
cial lingo
Good speech, whether on the
radio, on the screen, on the stage,
or anywhere else, should not cali
attention to itself, as If to say.
What a smart boy (girD am II"
A puffed-up man speaker is bad
enough; but smarty : pants,
stuffed shirt woman Is horrid
thing to contemplate.
Radio has made great strides
during the past decade. The COM
petent broadcasters are giving us
a good pattern OF natural, nonsec-
tional (neutraD speech whose in
f1uence on the speech Of the nation
is definitely good.
AS a former operator Of adver-
tising agencies, with special en-
phasis on radio, I know the folly
OF any language, written or spoken,
that looks down its nose at people.
These sirupy voiced women an
nouncers, with their obviously
spurious "culchah," may have a
certain snob appeal; but I'll wager
that simplicity and honest Ameri-
can naturalness would sell much
more cosmetics and soap flakes.
What do you say?
The zone Of complex is confusing to
many people. Mr.. Colby's leafiet, C.13,
gives an explanation and examples in 8
clear, simple way.
