There has been very little ac

field during the second half. Rain
has prevented the playing of most
of the scheduled games, and for
feits have stopped the other games
with the exception of the loive
game that has been played by

The professor may have some

declaration the professor averred
that colleges will grow tired of
serving as training schools from ^on thing. The professional game

that baseball has become a com-

THE BATTLE OF THE ROSES
• t Pa of them all, the Rose Bowl
»t Pasadena California. It pits Stanford, the Western Conference
nd Th. Nebraska, who suffered one defeat this season
.■nd that being administered by powerful Minnesota.
Stanford will enter the game with one of the best startin'^
material''
sfandirr All-American Halfback Albert, and
atandler, the hard charging fullback.
Meanwhile, Nebraska has on hand two teams, with very little
to choose between them. In fact. Coach Biff Jones has had trovbl.
in trying to fmd out which is his starting team. The Mid-Westerners
are big and fast, but the western heat may slow them down.
• 4.U ^ the Indians to find the corn to their liking and tram-
pje the Corn! uskers. Stanford over Nebraska.
THE COTTON BOWL
Coming eastward, our first stop is in Dallas, Texas where ihr
annual Cotton Bowl game is played. It is the battle of the giants
with the Texas A. and M. tangling with Fordham. Both teams havr
suffered one -lefeat in their games this season, the Rams losing a three
point decision to the St. Mary Gaels, and the Aggies suffered a 7-0
defeat at the hands of mighty Texas.
Fordtiam will enter this classic the underdog and will serve up
a mixture of power and deception. The Texans will strictly be
power, with Jarring John Kimbrough supplying the better part of it.
Behev’ng the Fordham’s Filipowicz and Eshmont will prove
^o much for the Texans’ Kimbrough and Thomason, we pick the
Rams to ram the Aggies.
THE SUGAR BOWL
Still moving eastward, our next stop is New Orleans, Louisiana
where the annual Sugar Bowl game is staged. And this year it will
be the only major bow! to exhibit two undefeated teams.
Boston College and Tennessee are the principles and they add
up to the best entertainment of the day. B. C. recognized as the east
ern champion, and Tennessee, claiming the same title in the South
The Eagles will be led by Charlie O’Rourke, the boy with the
magic pitchrng arm. They are a daring and tricky bunch and alway
give the crowd a good show. The Volunteers have two hard runnin?
backs in Foxx and Butler, and these boys should prove a menace to
the Beantov'ners before the afternoon is over.
But with all these good backfield men in the game we believ
that the game will be decided in the line. The Eagles are led jy Al'
American Gladchuk at center and Gooderault at end. While Tennps
see has the best set of guards in the country in Suffridge and MoHn
minutes remaining in the game.
Roberts and Bowden were con
stant threats for the Publishing
I house all during the game,
i By winning this game ITK
gained the right to play the Al
pha Pi boys for the Champion
ship. The date for this game was
set for December the fourth, but
they called it off and set a later
date, which at this time has not
been announced. This game will
be well worth watching by joi
fans. Most of us remember last
year’s play off between Alpha P.
and ITK. This year the game
should prove to be just as good.
