sas, cunning for the Pacific
Coast conference and Big Six
titles respectively, also remained
among the unbeaten although ties
mar their records. Southern Cali
fornia, which faces U.C.L.A. in
the big game of the week Sat-
urday, was idle Saturday but
Kansas came from behind to
overcome Oklahoma A. & M,
1877.
A victory over U. c. L. A. will
assure Southern California a
place in the Rose Bowl opposite
the might Michigan Wolverines
who won the Big Nine crown
and an automatic New Years
invitation to Pasadena by slaugh-
tering Wisconsin 4O-6. Bob Chap
puts, Michigan's great back,
threw three touchdown passes in
the rout and boosted his chances
for an All-America berth.
The UCLANS served notice
that they will be no soft touch
for the Trojans with a smash
ing 34-7 triumph over the Uni
versity of Washington. The Hus-
kies battled Southern California
all the way before succumbing
1910 several weeks ago.
California, the third Coast club
with a chance for Rose Bowl
honors, flattened Montana 60-14
and take on Stanford, Zig losers
to Oregon, Saturday in it's finale.
Alabama's bowl stock rose
considerably as hurting Harry
Gilmore led the Crimson Tide
to a 14-7 victory over Georgia
Tech. Utah's bubble was ricked
by Idaho, 1876.
PENIS ponderous Quakers had
hoped to avenge their beatings
of past seasons at Army's hands
but found the Cadets line too
formidable. Despite the nom
league tie, the Quakers captured
the Ivy League championship
when Princeton's Tigers clawed
Yale 40. Princeton, previous
winner over Harvard, nailed
down the ancient "Big Three"
pennant with it's conquest.
Southern Methodist and Texas,
two of the most sought after
teams for Bowl berths, continued
their one-two positions in the
hectic Southwest Conference
race. The All-winning Methodists
downed Arkansas 1916 while once
beaten Texas bowled over Texas
Christian 200.
Penn State proved it's merit
by defeating Navy 20-7 as Jeff
Durkota galloped 48 and AZ yards
for touchdowns on perfectly exc
cuted reverse plays.
Notre Dame, "down" after its
Army victory, found North
western a rugged foe again. The
Wildcats, always have been tough
for Notre Dame and the Irish
needed all of their 20-6 halftime
lead to finally prevail 26-19.
The game proved the Irish
are human, too, and served as
an inspiration for Tulane and
Southern California, last two foes
for Notre Dame.
Tulane was tied IT by Florida.
That surprising feat by Florida
was one of at least II form
reversals of yesterday.
Biggest upheavals of them
was Tennessee's 1918 trouncing
of Boston College for the Vols
first major win; Iowa's 1877
victory over Minnesota, II hours
after Hawk Coach Eddie Ander-
son had offered to resign; Okla
homa's 21-12 conquest of Mis-
souri, which dropped the Tigers
off the Big Six throne; North

squeeze over Virginia Military;

This is the week that Mr. Foot
ball fan finds out whether the
preseason propaganda about
North Cardinals four major
teams is true.
Is the University of North
Carolina really "bowl-bound"?
Is Duke on the ways back after
Wallace Wade's worst season? Is
N. c. State really loaded? And
has Wake Forest found backfield
strength to match its powerful
line?
The games this weekend, even
though they are the seasons
openers, should provide definite
answers in a hurry.
North Carolina tangles with
the University of Georgia at
Chapel Hill Saturday afternoon
while in nearby Durham, Duke
and North Carolina State square
off. Wake Forest entertains
Georgetown Saturday night.
Some of the edge was taken off
the North Carolina Georgia
contest when the Bulldogs had
to fight from behind in the final
minutes Friday night to down a
supposedly weak Furman outfit,
10 to 7.
However, North Carolina will
be out to avenge its Sugar Bowl
loss and the Bulldogs will be
"up" for this one after being
caught almost totally unprepared
by the Puppies from Green
vile, S. c.
North Carolina State started
on its way to a Gator Bowl bid
last year by upsetting Duke. The
Blue Devils will be out. to show
that last season was only a
horrible dream and that they
really are a power to be reck-
oned with.

Braves Blank Dodgers, 4 : O.
To Prevent Flag Clinching
Spain Allows Six Hits In
Gaining 10th Victory
o. Season

BROOKLYN, Sept. 21.-P-
For the second straight day the
Boston Braves prevented Brook
lyn from clinthing the National
League pennant when they beat
the Dodgers 40 today behind
the six-hit pitching of Warrne
SPAIN.
SPAIN joined teammate John
ny Sain in the 20 victory class
with today's win. The Dodgers
need only one victory or one
St. Louis defeat to win the flag.
The Cards were rained out of
their game with Chicago today.
1t was the second stright day
that the Brooks we're able to
net only six hits off Boston
pitching. In only one inning
did they get more than one hit
off SPAIN, the first lefthander in
the majors to reach 20 victories
this season, and the first Braves
southpaw to win 20 since Irving
Young did it in 1905.
That was in the seventh inn
ing when Ed Stanky and Peewee
Reese singled. Carl Furilo drew
a walk to load the bases but
Bruce Edwards ended the inning
with a pop to second base.
Ralph Branca, cunning for his
22nd victory and his fifth over
Boston in seven starts, was the
loser. He was tagged for all OF
Boston's runs and all eight hits
in the seven innings he worked
to lose his 18th game of the sea-
son.
The Braves scored a run in
the fourth on Earl Torgeson's
double and a single by Dick Cul-
Ter. They added two more in
the fifth on a single by Tommy
Holmes, a sacrifice, two walks
and Phil MASKS double. The
final run came in the seventh
when Torgeson scored on a
double steal.
