Talkj NG It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—1 have noticed that all the football experts manage to bat around .800 (at the very least) picking winners, and I have come to the conclusion that either the football expert is a very superior sort of wizard or else he has a very soft dodge. 1 am not prepared to say which is the true state ot afTairs but in glancing over the schedule of Saturday s games, 1 find a number of gridiron tussles, as I believe they are called, the outcome of which seems as obvious as Mahatma Gandhis knee cap. What X mean to say is that I am pretty sure I can pick them myself, and In order to make the operation seem reasonably adult. I would guarantee to pick them blindfolded, while juggling four silk hats. Os course there are usua'.iy four or five games on the schedule that call for profound and energetic guessing, but when these do not come off as per predictions they are blandly and anctuously marked down as upsets, form reversals and the malignant effects of the Hawley-Smoot tariff. Now let's take a look at some of the games that are to be played Saturday: Yale plays St. Johns. Well, at the risk of losing mv standing in the community as a prophet X am willing to take a long chance and go out on the limb and string with Old Eli. Cornell or Alfred? HMMMMMM. Let’s see. Heads or tails? Heads and It’s Cornell. That was a tough one. Maybe those football dopesters don’t have such an easy time of It at that. Now what? Syracuse and Western Reserve. Another tough one. Aside irom rolling up a total of 198 points, beating Florida. Penn State and Michigan State, and maintaining a clean slate since the start of the season Syracuse hasn’t done very much. On the other hand. Western Reserve is one of tiiose teams that fight to the last ditch, with their backs to the wall, weeing the red badge of courage and. like Decatur. are always for their country, right or Hoover. The only trouble with Western Reserve is that they never win any ball games. Even so and nevertheless and in the face of all the testimony to the contrary as well as the grand old dope, yours truly is going to take another rash gamble here and pick Syracuse. tt n n THIS is the first time yours truly has gone in for football exporting, but he is asking no quarter and giving none, and if his predictions in these three games fail to stand the acid test of time, he will beman enough to say along with whoever caid it first, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained, and make mine a cigar this time.” As I sav this looks like a soft racket and I could go on for hours ai a time picking the Yales over the St. John ses and the Cornells over the Alfreds ‘jut—well, sooner or later X would get down to the tough ones, and maybe in some strange manner I'd miss two or three and this would bring mv average down to .850 or something like that. They tell me when a football expert drops below .850 they throw him right out of the league and 1 should sav It serves him tollv well right. There are only about four games in the country that mean anything Saturday, and If you can ring up the winning numbers on all four of them you are an expert Indeed. New York university against Georgia at the Yankee Stadium. I'll have to go for Georgia in this one. Harvard vs. Dartmouth. Give me a ticket on Harvard. Northwestern against Minnesota. Any team that’s good enough to tie Notre Dame shouldn’t have any trouble with Minnesota. Southern California and Stanford. It won't be a contest. Southern California, of course. Don’t sav I didn’t tell you. lOWA WARRIORS LEAVE JSfi United Press lOWA CITY, la., Nov. 6.— After a forward passing and pass defense drill, thirty-five lowa gridders entrained Thursday night for Lincoln, where the Hawkeyes meet Nebraska Saturday.

THREE PURDUE REGULARS OUT OF CENTENARY FRAY
Two Line Stars Out Kizer Stresses Defense Against Gents’ Speedy Attack in Practice. Hu Time* Special LAFAYETTE. Ind., Nov. 6.— With three varsity pastimers on the sidelines with injuries, Purdue’s Boilermakers face a severe test in their intersectional battle with Centenary here Saturday. The Gentlemen from the southwest have been beaten but once this season, bowing to the strong Southern Methodist machine two weeks ago. Among their five victims are Baylor and other sectional foes. Centenary boasts spectacular open running and passing attack, and Coach Noble Kizer has had his squad hard at work on defensive formations this week. In Thursday’s final brisk drill session, Kizer polished the Boilermaker attack in a short scrimmage. With Calvert and Letsinger, regular linemen, definitely out with injuries, Merz probably will start at end Saturday, and Westerman will hold down Letsinger’s guard post. Paul Pardonner, speedy sophomore, will be seen in the quarter back assignment with Jack White, veteran ace, on the injured list. Kizer devoted considerable time Thursday to the improvement of blocking on scoring plays. Purdue’s passing plays also were given a long trial.

Thursday, in defense of the I. H. S. A. A. The state education group attacked the plan of title play last year after reports of drinking and other bad conduct among students attending the tourney in Indianapolis had been received. Action was dropped when Attorney-Gen-eral James M. Ogden ruled the board’s powers were limited in bringing witnesses to proceed with the investigation. Among the board’s suggestions were proposals to reduce the present state finals tourney to one day and limit the number of season’s games to sixteen. A one-day tournament would eliminate most of the social problems of the meet. William Wirt of Gary said. Other charges made by the board included overemphasis of a team's victory record and too much attention to varsity athletes with loss of attention to physical education for all high school students.

He’s the only “quintuple” threat guard in captivity. Munn of Minnesota is a great defensive guard and a stellar blocker who runs interference with the best of ’em. He also does all the punting for the Gophers, throws a lot of passes, drops back to carry the ball every now and then, does the place-kicking for extra points, and in between breaths, finds time for captain duties. He’s a busy man, this all-America candidate, who is a home-loving married man besides.
