Show U ' :1 p f Sports Here and There Hy AI Ablett This is the pay-off week in almost al-most every section of the country. coun-try. In the East: Cornell should have easy sailing against Yale. The big Red team is comparable to teams of the last generation. They have stars to bo sure: MeCul-lough, MeCul-lough, Langsberg in the back-field, back-field, Drahos, West and Blasko in the line, and in Jenkins and Schmuck they have a pair of ends that can turn plays in and catch passes from any angle- But from all accounts it is the sureness and certainty of action that makes them a great team-Yale team-Yale hasn't much this year, so it looks like they will get a lesson Saturday. In the midwest: Minnesota vs. Michigan hold the spotlight. This game brings together two of the greatest teams in the country. Big, hard-charging lines, ends that have size and speed. Back-fields Back-fields that know their way on the ground and in the air. Minnesota, I think, has done the best job of any team in the country. But of course they haven't been called upon to meet anything like Harmon and company. Coach Bierman has a great team and he says that they haven't reached their peak as yet. The Gophers have a typical Minnesota line, big and rugged. In Johnson they have one of the greatest of the ends. Their backfield is probably the fastest fast-est unit Minnesota has ever had. This boy Franck can really real-ly pack that mail and Smith isn't far behind. Sweiger is a Gopher fullback, by that I mean a big, hard-charging line cracker and a whizs at backing up the line on defense. Michigan must have a good line, since they stopped Regan of Penn cold, and he is ranked as the best running back in the east. Their backfield, well, there is Harmon, need anymore be said? I like Minnesota because too much depends on one man with Michigan. But regardless of who wins, wouldn't you like to see it? Southwest: The Texas Aggies Ag-gies meet their sternest test Saturday when they play S.M-U. S.M-U. The Aggies are a great team and this is their second season. So far, anyway, without a loss. In S-M.U. they are meeting a team that has only a tie to mar their record. The winner of this game should be declared the winner in that section. The Aggies led by the great John Kimbrough are favorites. But if it is close the kicking of Johnson of S.M-U- may mean the difference. I like the Aggies- In the south the game of the week is Alabama vs. Tulane. The Green Wave of Tulane has finally final-ly got rolling. At the start of the season they were picked as one of the great teams of the south, but they had a hard time getting into high gear. "Red" Dawson has finally found the right combination. com-bination. West: It looks like the winner win-ner of the Washington-Stanford game will go to the Rose bowl. Stanford has been rolling along in high with a tricky attack at-tack built around a great fullback, full-back, Siandlee. Washington has lost one game, that was the opener with Minnesota, and at that they gained more yardage yard-age than the Gophers, so I think they carry too many guns for Stanford. Besides they had a week's rest. Then there're the potential ail-Americans on the line-up. Rocky Mountains: The game of the week for the week for Utah fans is Denver and B.Y.U. If Kimball Kim-ball can keep the Cougars keyed up after their Aggies win they should take Denver at Provo-The Provo-The game of the year for the Bingham fans will be held today to-day at the Copperton stadium when our own Miners take on the Darts from Kaysville. Deb Young has a big team at Davis and of late they have been go- 1 ing great guns. I suppose they will go into the game as favorites, favor-ites, but if the Miners are on they will give them a whale of a game. The local team will go into the game with two new boys in the "line-up. Gene Goff will be at tackle in place of Max Seal and George Nichols will be at the blocking back in place of Stan Long- As we understand it, Long and Seal broke training. Too bad these two boys saw fit to disobey rules set down for the team. No individual is as big as the game. What is fair for the whole team must apply to each as individuals. indi-viduals. The action may handicap handi-cap the team, as far as winning the game is concerned. However, winning is only a small part of the game, especially in school- So this corner will be pulling for Bingham and Santy, who has the courage to uphold a principle regardless re-gardless of his winning record-So record-So long, Al |
