College Powers
Face Key Tests
WithConfidence
BY the Associated Press

Key games are coming up this
week for the Nations three lead
ing college football teams, but
all three are looking for victories
and only two of them expect a
serious threat later in the season.
Second-ranked Michigan State,
which overpowered Notre Dame,
AHA, to dominate the week
ends headlines, faces an i'm
portant Big Ten test as it takes
on Illinois, which put up a good
scrap before bowling to strong
Minnesota, 1913, Saturday. But
when the Spartans put this one
away, there's nothing much to
bother them before they face the
Gophers in mid-November.
Georgia Tech, which strength

minded Tulane. surprise 1913
Iconqueror of Mississippi. But if
Tech can handle the Green
Wave, only fast-rising Tennessee
bars the way to the Southeastern
Conference championship.
SO0nerS' Task Simple
For top-rated Oklahoma, the
task is simple: clobber Notre
Dame, avenge those 27-21 and
1921 defeats of 1928, and
hang UP a 35th straight victory.
Nothing is left on the Sooners'
schedule except a string of games
with mediocre Big Seven clubs.
The weeks scrambling for
conference honors gets off to an
early start Thursday, when
Clemson and South Carolina
tangle in the Palmetto States
annual State Fair classic at
Columbia. Clemson is a slight
favorite in the game which will
go long way toward clearing up
the Atlantic Coast Conference
title fight.
Georgia Tech is determined
after seeing Southeastern honors
slip away for the last two years.
The 1854 Engineers thought
they were the class of the con-
ference-as they probably were,
but Ole Miss won the title. Then
last year, the Engineers made
one mistake-they lost by two
points to Auburn-and in slipped
Mississippi again.
Now Mississippi has made a
slip in losing to Tulane, and now
the road appears clear for Geor-
gia Tech to go all the way.
Buckeyes, Frogs Stumble
Besides Mississippi, which will
try to pull itself together at the
expense Of Arkansas this Satur-
day. Ohio State and Texas Chris
tian will be picking up the pieces.
Both had been undefeated until
they ran into mousetraps in the
form of Penn State and Texas
AIM. Both lost by rs scores.
Ohio States defeat was signi-
f1cant only in that it showed
that some Eastern teams have
not forgotten how to play foot
ball. But it didn't hurt the Buck
eyes in their quest for the Big
Ten title. However, starting
with Wisconsin. they face five
straight league rivals and it goes
without saying they'll have to
improve their attack.
Texas Christian had built it
self into the favorite for the
Southwest Conference cham
pionship, but in this league a
different choice emerges from
the rubble almost weekly. Form
means nothing and the race
usually isn't settled until the
last week. TCU still has four
