Rumor has It that they both hsve pretty fsir ball clubs In any man's league. Lou Brock, the boys at Lafayette say, may not be in shape for a full afternoon's work, and that may apell the difference. For better r worse, Notre Dame. Texas Cfcrtstiaa-U. C L. A. The Christians lost O'Brien, Aid-rich Aid-rich and Hale among others, but there has been little weeping at Fort Worth. U. C. L. A, operating operat-ing under a new coach, has three stand-out negro stars in Washing-" Washing-" ton. Strode and Jack Robinson, a efiphowioroboie, but the nod goe' to T. C U. Stsaford-Oregea State State may be one of the Coast conference's confer-ence's big surprises and gets the call here. North Carolina-Wake Forest , Wake Forest may turn out to be the best "sleeper" of the day, for Peshesd Walker has collected a first-class club. However, there were no flies on the North Carolina Caro-lina offense against Citsdel, and this conservative corner Is content to string along with the old guard. North Carolina. Tatane-deanson: CI em son's 13-' 13-' 10 contest of the Green Wave was one of lsit yesr's msjor ear- ' ly-sesson shocks. The South Carolina Car-olina outfit is plenty tough again, but we'll take Tulane, possibly proving some guys never learn. Colgmte-New York University This gets worse as it goes along. Colgate apparently is on the wsy back after two lean years, but this ballot for N. Y. U. expresses the belief the Violets will out-pans out-pans the pass-minded Raiders. North Carolina State-Tenaeesee The Wolfpack's close call with ' Davidson Indicated State Is in for a bad evening against a Tennessee team many experts think will be as good. If not better, than last year's unbeaten array. Indiana-Nebraska Reaching Into the hat. Nebraska. Wlseensln-Marquette This neighborhood scrap frequently pro- duces unexpected fireworks. Which, of course, doesn't get us any closer to the point. All right, Wisconsin, but It probably will be close. Temple Georgetown Stsbblng uncertainly in the dark, Georgetown. George-town. Holy Cross-Manhattan The Crusaders' first start under a new coach, Joe Sheeketski, but the power still is there. Holy Cross. Waahingtea-Pttt Charley Bowser Bow-ser Is trying to fill Doc Sutherland's Suther-land's shoes at Pitt, but that and a "puridicatlon" doesn't mean the Panthers are going into a sud-tfi sud-tfi r-"t- diva The Jose of .Marshall .Mar-shall Goldberg and other 1938 stalwarts stal-warts will hurt, but we'll, take a flier on Pitt. Southern California Oregon Possibly close, but Southern California, Cali-fornia, Rose Bowl champion, must be picked. Army-Furmaa Furman's first team looks good, but they play football with regiments these days. Army, with a stand-out back In Art Frontczak, to win handily. Navy-William aad Mary Ditto Navy to get Head Coach Swede Larson oft on the right foot. -- Mlnnesote-Arisona Need you ask? Minnesota. Kentucky-Virginia Military The Soldiers hsve Psul Shu, one of the country's great backs. He's the principal reason for this hunch on V. M. L Louisiana Stata-Miasissippt L, S. U. to avenge last year's stunning upset. Alabama-Howard No worries here for Alabama. Mississippi State - Arkansas Probably free-scoring snd probably close. By the coin, Arkansas. Davldsoa-Duke Davi d s on's dangerous In the air, but Duke should mop up. Texas A. M.-Ceatenary The Aggies look ssfe. - Riee-Vaaderbllt The tip is out that Lain and Cordill will be good this year. Therefore, trustingly. Rice. Oklahoma-Southern Methodist Out of a densa fog, Oklahoma. Texas-Florida The fog hasn't lifted yet Texas. Mlasosai-Colerade If anything, this is worse, Eeenle, meenie , , . Missouri. Santa Clara-Utah Might be close, but taking Santa Clara.
