By ELMER LAYDEN Notre Dame Football Coach I may be wrong, but the sectional champions of 1940 in my prospectus will be: Duke, Southern Conference, and Tulane, Southeastern, in the South; Cornell in the East; Texas A. & M. in the Southwest; Six, and Oklahoma souri Valley, in: the Midlands; Utah in the Rockies; Southern California on the Pacific Coast, and Michigan, Western Conference, in the Midwest. There will be plenty of contenders, however. SOUTH — North Carolina looks like Duke's

CHICAGO, Sept. 21 (U. P).—
Fred rry, former international , meets John Nogrady,
Montclaire, N. J., In a contest to-
day gor place in the finals of “the National | Professional Tennis Championships.
Winner of the match will be pitTilden, | |47-year-old veteran and many times champion, or Don Budge, | former national amateur champion. Tilden has described his
semi-finals opponent as the ‘greatest|in 10 years.” Tilden | defeated Joe Whalen,
Larchmont, N. Y.,, 6-4, 6-1, 7-5, in the quarter-finals. Perry beat Art
Hendrix,| U. S. Naval Academy coach, 61, 6-4, 6-2. Tilden’'| and Vincent Richards, New York, meet Walter Senior,
Louisville, Ky., and John Hendrix, Coral Gables, Fla., in a doubles semi-final match.
Major Leaders
Valley Conference last year;
greatest competition in the Southern Conference. Clemson may not be quite as strong as last year, but will bother. Wake Forest is strong again, it seems, but hardly potent enough to nip the Tar Heels this week-end. In the Southeastern, Tulane, Tennessee and Georgia Tech all have a good chance to finish again with clean slates, but Tulane last year had the highest national ranking based on | the strength of opponents, and should repeat.
" EAST — Boston College and Princeton appear to be Cornell's greatest rivals. Fordham, Du-
quesne, Villanova, Holy Cross land Penn State are possibilities. Co-
will be interesting, if not dangerous. Navy and| Army shouid both he stronger
SOUTHWEST — Southern Methodist has the best chance to contest the title with Texas A. & M. There are two question marks—Baylor and Texas
MIDLANDS—MIssourl (tested by St. Louis this week-end) and Oklahoma will both give Nebraska a battle in the Big Six. Washinton has pretty much the same team that won the title in the Missouri the management is new. I pick Okla-

PACIFIC COAST-—-Washington is being generally picked as the hottest thing far West, but Southern California looks like pre-season Bowl Bet to me. However, I might switch, horses if Washington beats Minnesota this weekrend. A victory over the Gophers would be just what it takes to gon the Huskies through that door they've been howling at year after year. Not forgetting Oregon State— the Beavers have it in them to gnaw the props right out fro under the favorites. Stanford will improve, but not enough. California has a long row to hoe. Robinson of U. C.
L. A. will thrill the crowds, but won’t : make champions of the Uclans
WEST—Ohio sie is Western Conference runner-up to Michigan in my horoscope. A good line. on the Wolverines is obtainable this
nia, probably tougher than last year. than brilliant. Indiana is in line for sensational reaction. The Hoosiers have everything, Northwestern has a string of backs you can’t discount—there’s one | line set to spring them and another is being molded: Iowa finished year and admittedly has a better team—that adds up to trouble for everybody.

though not a title probability, is sure to upset a couple of the leaders. Purdue is better than might be expected from material losses, and may be an upsetter. Butler will give a fair line on the Boilermakers this week-end.
Mind you, I'm not conceding the Midwest title to Michigan.” Michigan State, Marquette and ‘Detroit outside the Conference must be considered in the running. So far as Notre Dame is concerned, although I will not venture to predict our standing at the end of the year, our prospects are normal and we are yielding no games in advance. Our schedule is standard—taking the ayerage ranking of our opponents, one of the toughest. Eight of the teams we play are of major caliber, and our opener, College of the Pacific, is to be. taken seriously. Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg will naturally point hard for this game. His spread formations are bound to puzzle an opponent taking the field for the first time. He has lost but 12 men out of 44, and will bring here some junior college stars on whom we have no information.
Our Midwest - followers may take Pacific lightly if they like; we don’t.

14 State Nines Wait Kickoffs
. By UNITED PRESS : Hoosier college football moves into
full swing this week-end as 14 teams see action, three of them tonight. Franklin, Rose Poly and Wabash open the show with battles tonight, all against out-of-state foes. The Grizzlies travel to Lexington, Ky. to engage a tough Transylvania eleven, while Rose Poly moves into Missouri to play Cape Girardeau. Wabash goes to Denison to close tonight's program. Feature game tomorrow opens the season for the Purdue Boilermakers, for the first time in some years not expected to rank high in the Big Ten when the season closes. The Boilermakers entertain a stiff team that already has one victory under its belt, and despite the general pessimism at Lafayette, Purdue” was expected to win, although perhaps not handily. |, St. Joseph's, licked by Butler last Saturday in the first college conference game of the season, invades Valparaiso in one of the two state Conference games of the day. In the second college league battle DePauw travels to Hanover. Other games Saturday are Southern Illinois at Evansville, De Sales at Ball State, Lawrence Tech at Indiana State, Central Normal at Eastern Illinois and Manchester at Wooster. ’

Chance Tie for First
Is the Best They Can Do
Detroit Opens Today in Cleveland Park
NEW YORK, Sept. 27 (U. P.).—The New York Yankees occupied only a small piece of the American League spotlight today. Regardless of what happens in the Detroit-Cleveland series which opens at Cleveland today, the Yanks can at best only finish in a tie for first place with one or the other. Even then, the Yanks must win all of their four remaining games —one with Philadelphia and three with
Washington — to remain in running. ; | The Yankees preserved their
mathematical chance yesterday by winning two from the Athletics, 5-4 and 2-0. Homers by Bill Dickey and Joe Gordon featured a nine-hit Yankee attack in the first game and Ernie Bonham tossed a four-hitter in the nightcap for his eighth victory since he came up from the minors Aug. 1. Washington combined two singles and a triple in the ninth to score two runs and defeat the Boston Red Sox, 6-5, in the only other game played in the American League.
Fighting to hold fourth place in’
the National League, the Pittsburgh Pirates fought off Chicago's bid with a 7-6 victory. The Pirates trailed by two runs going into the seventh, but put on a three-run rally to win. Boston brought the Brooklyn's home - season to a dismal close by defeating the Dodgers twice, 5-2 and 5-4. Harry Gumbert and Bob Carpenter pitched the New York Giants to a double win over the Philadelphia Phillies, 3-1 and 2-1. Johnny Vander Meer won his third game since returning from the
minors by pitching the Cincinnati
Reds to a 4-3, six-hit win over the St. Louis Cardinals but Newt Kim~ ball gained an even break for the Red Birds by winning the nightcap, 5-1,

CINCINNATI, Sept. 27 (NEA).— The Reds were forced to turn back more than $200,000 in World Series ticket money because of no room.
