Last wpek end brought some
more upsets for dopsters, who
considered themselves experts in
picking winners. We suffered
two, too; but Saturday’s scores
proved that anything can happen
in a football game, ,
As we predicted, Sparta came
through in a big way to defeat
Boonville 21-0, inspite of the
.duidngjtf inland _mudd*„ field.
More power to the Yellow Jack

predicted, as did Davidson, Wof
ford,

scored a perfect record included

derbilt over Mississippi. The two
that we did not select were Wake
Forest over Carolina and a tie
between Navy and Duke. Wake
Forest played inspired football
