I Unbeaten Teams Favorites To Win Saturday IN®W YORK (INS) —Bowlcaanoioua Michigan, Maryland. Oklahoma and West Virgiaia are favored to remain the nation's only unbeaten and untied major college football teams thin weekend. But it may not be ao easy for the country’s Na 1 team. Michigan, or seventh-ranking West Virginia. The Wolverines, tied tor the Big Tea lead with Ohio State and only throe games away from the Rose Bowl, run into a perennial jinx at Illinois Saturday. Ths ilUiai bare won only half their aix games to date bat it doesn't mean a thing In this league. Michigan was bard-pressed to gain Its fifth and sixth victories the past two weeks, have to come from behind to nip Minnesota by one point and to overhaul lowa in the final 3% minutes. Any ot the Wolverines' three remaining opponents, Including Indiana and Ohio State, are capable of springing the year's big upset. West Virginia, which also sports a 44 record and probably will wind up la . the Sugar Bowl, moves over to George Washington, which also is unbeaten in Southern Coaference play. In fact, the Colonials have lost only one of their six scraps. Maryland and Oklahoma, the No. • and 3 teams, respectively, should have another easy time of it. Last week they demolished a couple of teams which had scored a collec- ' tive tqtal of four wins in 11 games. This week’s opponents have only two wins in 13 games between them, which should help explain why both the Terrapins and Sooners are ticketed for the Orange Bow). Maryland, with seven straight victorias, steps out of Atlantic Coast Conference competition to host LSU. nth in tbe 12-tahm Southeastern Conference. Oklahoma “risks" its 25-game winning streak against Big Seven neighbor Missouri, victoripsu only once in seven tries. Bud Wilkinson will be sitting across the Memorial Stadium from the man who taught him the split-T, Don Faurot. UCLA, the nation’s fourth-ranked tea mand probably the other Rose Bowl entry, should overpower College of Pacific while fifth-ranking Michigan State should reverse last year's defeat at Purdue. Sixth-ranking Notre Dgme, which knocked the pride of the east out of th<*®»bdirreti-rtmki*laßt week, follows dp that victory over Navy with a visit winless Pena. Eighth-ranking Georgia rambles to Tennessee Mississippi State and Auburn also meet in an important game bearing on the southeaster crown and Sugar Bowl bid. Ninth-ranking Navy hopes to resurface against Duke at Baltimore and Texas ARM, tied for 10th place with idle TCU, takes on Southern Melodist Another South west attraction fetes Baylor at Texas. No less important in Big Ten play is Indiana’s invasion of Ohio Stata or Nebraska’s visit to lowa State in Big Seven competition. Top conference games also include Stanford at Southern California, Washington at California and Idaho at Oregon State on the Pacific Coast, Davidson at Richmond in the Southern Conference, Princeton at Harvard-in the ivy League, Bowling Green at Miami of Ohio In the Mid-Arrierican and Houston at Tulsa in the Missouri Valley. Intersectional headliners include Virginia at Pitt and Dayton at Hoty Cross. Elsewhere, it's Army at Yale. Penn State at Syracuse and Wisconsin at Northwestern.
