conference games.
The Nationals biggest crowd,
36,227 fans, showed up at Phil
adelphia and watched the Eag-
les beat the Chicago Bears, 1877,
in a driving rain. The victory
was Philadelphia's first over the
Bears in history and it dumped

turnout by beating the New

vision flag battle.
The 49ers, at home, fer the
first time in five games, ripped

streak to nine games. The
Browns have won eight without
a loss. Only 27,978 fans welcom-
ed the 49ers home.
Cliff Patton's 38-yard field
goal in the last period and safety
gave the Eagles their margin Of
triumph over the Bears, who
dropped their first game in five
starts.
The powerful Cardinals, be-
fore 23,423 spectators at Chicago,
spotted the Yanks a 60 lead and
then blasted across IA points in
the second period and 35 laore
in the third to win going away,
San Francisco wiped out go
half time deficit in beating Bal
timore, eastern half conference
leaders. The 49ers posted seven
points in the third period and IA
more in the final.
Otto Graham was the star in
Cleveland's victory over the
Yanks. The great quarterback
pitched four touchdown passes
and scored once in completing 81

l% Weeks College Football Games Will Go Long Way Toward Picking Bowl Teams
Major Teams
Still Lead
National Race.

New York, Oct. rs (AP)-Col-
lege football swings into the
back-stretch this week with
games that should 60 a long way
toward identifying the major
bowl principals.
California's potent bears look
like cinch for the rose bowl ii
they can squeeze by Southern
Cal Saturday st Los Angeles.
The Pasadena guest may be
decided at Evanston where
Northwestern engages Ohio
State.

Coach Bob Neyland, a renowned
pessimist, already has predicted
an upset victory for his boys.
Techs frisky Yellowjackets
meet an undefcated Duke team
that has been getting progressi-
vely better after two opening
season ties.
The Southwest feature is South
|ern Methodist against Texas
at Austin. The victor in this one
could well land in the cotton
Bowl although both must reckon
with Baylor, which has only a
tie on its record.
The job for the bowl promoters
was further sinplified last Satur-
day when two of the II unblem-
ished teams were stricken
from the list.
Army's powerful machine roll
ed over Cornell, 27-6, handing
the Big Red its first smudge.
Penn State, riding victory
string that covered the 1947 sea-
son, was tied by Michigan State,
14-14.
The nine left without defeat
or tie in major ranks are: Michi-
gan, Notre Dame, North Caro-
lima, Georgia Tech, Clemson,
Army Pennsylvania, California,
and Nevada.
OF these, Michigan, Notre
Dame and Army aren't bowl
candidates and Pennsylvania, as
an Ivy Lacquer, is not overly
receptive to bids.
Michigan, victor over South
ern Cal in the Rose Bowl last
year, can't return because of a
conference rule against repeat
performances. Notre Dame and
Army don't go in for the post
seadon extravaganzas.
The Wolverines, elevated to
the No. l spot last week in the
Associated poll, justified their
selection by overwhelming Mimi
esota Saturday, 27-14. They are
virtually "in" as Big Nine
Champions.
Northwestern, beaten only by
Michigan, then takes the lead in
the Rose Bowl picture on the
basis Of its 1915 triumph over
Minnesota. But Ohio State also
has lost only one game-to
Iowa.
California continued its dis
play of offensive power in smash
ing Washington, 21-0. If they
can get by Southern Cal, the
Bears wind up with the weaker
UCL.A.. Washington State and
Stanford.
Oregon, beaten only by Michi-
gan, still is in the running for
the Pacific Coast conference
crown and the bowl spot. But
the Webfoots' hopes depend on
California stubbing toe.
All the other unbeaten-united
giants came through last weeks
test under wraps except Penn
sylvania. The Penn forces were
handed tremendous scare by
winless Navy before they squeak
ed through, 20-14.
Notre Dame bulled right over
Iowa, 27-12. North Carolina
showed its old time power which
had been missing the week be-
fore in lashing Louisiana State,
34-7. Georgia Tech walloped
Florida, 42-7, and Nevada smash
ed Tulsa, 65-15.

Former Resident
Believes Streets Here
In Need of Repuir

Condition of Marysville streets,
especially those in the southwest
section of town, is the subject of
letter received last week by the
Journal from a former Marysville
resident who now lives in the
East but had occasion to return
to Marysville, recently. He is
Harold E. Raynor, now of -Leamin-
ister, Mass, who writes:
Some weeks ago / noticed in
your paper list giving Marysvile
streets. After a careful check, !
found no Buckeye st. was given
i would like to know why.
For 20 or 80 years l trod
through its sticky clay and last
April / had the opportunity to
travel over it again. / found the
same old sticky clay was still
there, altough in later years many
beautiful homes are dotting its
once barren, weeded fields which
now makes 1T one of the prettieSt
streets in Marysville.
Its time the street department
should consider it as such and
spend some money making it into
a hard surface street like Collins
ave-; in fact, all the streets west
of Maple st. from Collins ave. to
Fifth st. should have a little of
the towns money spent on them,
especially those from Maple st.
to Grove st. between Collins and
Eighth.
TAX payers in the latter area
have never received much street
repair, especially on those streets
running north off of Collins ave.
and on w. Eighth. It's about time
the mayor and others realize some
of the most beautiful streets in
Marysville are west of South
Maple st. and some of Marysville's
protest homes are along those
sticky clay streets which are in
bad need of repair.
"The old time tax payers along
those streets have paid many
times the price of good streets,
which they never got. So why
not pass this money on in the
form of good streets for the vets
and other newcomers who are
now willing to further beautify
them with beautiful, modern
homes?
"A true booster for Marysville's
side.
Harold E. Raynor."
