Record for the Season: Games picked, 236; winners, 175; losers, 48; ties, 13. Batting average over all, .785.

By EDDIE ASH

This week's college football menu is loaded with more dynamite than any that has gone before and the experts probably wish they had closed shop last week and hit the hard highways without leaving forwarding address. The season is now knee deep in “big” games as October says goodbye and the fall foliage gradually blows off the trees even as the grid experts fall off the limbs and frighten the squirrels. Purdue swings back into action after a week off, meeting Wisconsin in the West Lafayette home-comer. Mike Byelene’s absence is a heavy blow but we are stringing with the Boilermakers. Rejuvegated Indiana tackles Northwestern's powerhouse and our sélection is Northwestern, Also Notre Dame over lllinois, Minnesota over Iowa, Cornell over Ohic State and Michigan over Pennsylvania. What a dish for Saturday's Children! Home-town Butler

treks to St. Louis to meet Washington U. Picking the Bulldogs. Selections for the week on all fronts:

STATE COLLEGES Purdue over Wisconsin. It was a 7-to-7 tie a year ago. Northwestern over Indiana. But a chance for I. U. to spill dope. Notre Dame over Illinois. That Irish backfield is stepping. Butler over Washington, St. Lolis. A deadlock last fall. DePauw over Evansville. It was a scoreless tie last fall. Manchester over Hanover. Spartans won close one in 1939. Indiana State over Franklin. Sycamores look superior. Ball State over Valpo. About even on past performance. Earlham over Rose Poly. Put it in tossup class. St. Joe over Central Normal. Pumas have it on ratings. Wabash over Georgetown, Ky. Scarlet invades Blue Grass.

MIDWEST Michigan over Pennsylvania. Harmon and Reagan come together. Minnesota over Iowa. The Hawks prevailed in 1939. Santa Clara over Michigan State. In the problem bracket. Texas Tech over Marquette. Another intersectional fea-

ture. \s

Xavier, Cincinnati, over John Carroll. Not too much margin. i Nebraska over Missouri. If Christman is held in check. Ohio U. over Ohio Wesleyan. It was Wesleyan a year ago. Dayton over Cincinnati. A thin vote for the Flyers. Oklahoma over Iowa State. Old rivals in annual struggle. Kansas State over Kansas. Another traditional clash. EAST Cornell over Ohio State. But Bucks are always dangerous. Navy over Yale. Despite Blue's comeback last week. Army over Lafayette. Soldiers will have to step lively. Harvard over Dartmouth. Big Green took charge in 1939. Princeton over Rutgers. Give Allerdice the pigskin. Fordham over St. Mary’s, Cal. Long trip for the Gaels. Duquesne over Manhattan. It was close a year ago. Villanova over Detroit. It’s usually a thriller. Columbia over Syracuse. Don’t go overboard on it. Temple over Penn State. Could go the other way. Holy Cross over Brown. Based on ratings to date. Boston College over St. Anselm. Powerhouse keeps rolling. Carnegie Tech over Case. If Tartans recover from last week. Georgetown U. over N. Y. U. Georgetown is undefeated.

: : SOUTH Tennessee over Florida. The Vols have speed and power, Mississippi U. over Arkansas. This is Ole Miss clicking. Duke over Wake Forest. Only by a touchdown last year, Texas A. & M. over Baylor. Not giving up. on Farmers. Clemson over South Carolina. Clemson undefeated, untied. W. Virginia over Geo. Washington. Rate about even. Tex. Christian over Tulsa. Southwest rivals clash. Alabama over Miss. State. Toss a coin, it rates close. Vanderbilt over Lou. State. Too close for any grid seer, Auburn over Georgia Tech. Out on a very long branch. Tulane over N. Carolina U. It was a tie last fall. Texas over Rice. Longhorns undefeated and untied. Kentucky over Georgia. A bitter battle indicated. Catholic U. over W. Va. Wesleyan. Judged on ratings. FAR WEST Stanford over U. S. C. Week's big game on Coast. Washington, Seattle, over California. It figures that way. Wash. State over Oregon. Looks close from far away. U. C. L. A. over Oregon State. Uclans due, at any rate. Oklahoma A.-M. over Arizona. In night tilt at Phoenix. Colorado over Wyoming. In the Rocky Mountain area.

Coach of tie Week Will Send His Indians After a Possible Rose Bow! Berth Saturday

Archie Is Named ‘Most Valuable’

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 23 (U. P). — “Most valuable player” honors will go to camp next spring with George Archie, first baseman drafted from Seattle of the Pacific Coast League by the Washington Senators, a committee of baseball writers named by the Sporting News, national ball weekly, announced today. The coast writers selected him over Lou Novikoff, Los Angeles outfielder, who will try out with the Chicago Cubs. Archie formerly was first baseman with the Indianapolis Indians of the American Association.

Davey Nelson, a 150-pound mite who skips off the final end of a double reverse play that many see coming as a vicious thrust by Harmon off tackle. Davey fooled Illinois Saturday as he fooled the others. That is why Crisler can stake out, his fleet-footed all-American like a wooden duck, if he has to, to make Pennsylvania give Harmon the breaks an ordinary halfback gets. It is quite possible that the battle between the unbeaten Quakers from the East and undefeated Michigan of the Midwest may not bring an answer to the ReaganHarmon question of superiority. Last year when the Wolverines beat Penn, 19-17, Harmon outscored Reagan but was outgained by 64 yards. oy Harmon has totaled 79 points in four games this season on 11 touch-
