Navy Has Rough Sea:
Even without de Correvont last week Northwestern was impressive with a last half rally to lick Indiana by two touchdowns, Navy, Detloit and Clemson seem to be the ones who will: have the hardest fights to maintain their standings. Although the Middies are favored slightly over Penn, there is a big difference of opinion and several “selectors feel that if the Quakers were not too badly crippled in the Michigan game last
"| week, they will bounce back to di‘|vert Navy from the undefeated, un-
tied road. Eastern pickers are sticking with Detroit to beat Tulsa, but if the Oklahomans rise to the heights as they did to scuttle T: C. U,, last week, Detroit will have to be mighty good to win.
Tulane Is Dangerous
-Clemson, with five straight wins, gets the call over Tulane, but the Greenies were slow getting started and are improving each Saturday. While cémparative scores are often misleading, it might be remembered that Clemson walloped Wake Forest 39-0 and Wake Forest previously had beaten North Carolina 12-0. Last week a blocked punt in the final minutes enabled Tulane to score a one point victory over North Carolina. Undefeated, untied clubs favored

which the undefeated major teams of the nation will be tested seriously this weekend. In only one game do two undefeated “big” teams clash—Minnesota and North-
western. By all the signs of the season, the Gophers-should win. Indiana only squeezed out a victory over Iowa. Northwestern had
beat Iowa badly. Moreover, the Gophers have a special will - to ~- f win. They have several upsets to ? avenge. Yes, it looks like
: the Gophers will 4 run short om-the ok ga vengeful spirit Elmer Layden this week. They did some heavy avenging last Saturday at the expense of Iowa, and the resultant satisfaction must have been followed by a let-down. : Can the Gophers steam up again this week? They might if they could
in the game against them. It was Bill's long run that beat the Gophers last year. Right now, he has a bad ankle and is likely to be called on only in emergency. With him on the bench. prospects of a Minnesota revenge must lose some of its sweetness. Then, too," the Gophers may underestimate the Wildcats minus
; deCorrevont.
Purdue Picked to Win
Also there’s the chance that the Purple star may still be able to play long enough to put over a coup. His forte so far has been the sudden stroke which turns the tide of victory. Forget deCorrevont, and the Wildcats have proved they may do pretty well anyhow, thanks. They beat Indiana without him, for instance. I pick Purdue fo win a tough one from Iowa. ° Wisconsin is my choice over Illinois in another hot battle—the Badger backs are better. If Ohio State and Indiana play true to recent form, both will bog down in the second half—but-I expect the Buckeyes to have the mest points before and if that happens} The Stanford-U. C. L. A. match] is the No. 2 game of the week-end in my opinion, because U. C. L. A. is good enough to put an end to the sudden rise of the Indians under Clark Shaughnessy. Stanford will hold top ranking in the Pacific Coast.
Navy Gets the Call
The Navy-Penn game ranks No. 3. This game should answer the question “How good is the Navy?” If Navy wins this one, and I think Navy will, the Middies have it. Two games in the Southwest assume special national significance because two of the teams are undefeated and the opposition is tough. Texas has a very good chance to bring down the Southern Methodist Mustangs, but won't, in my opinion, Before last Saturday Arkansas would have been a very long shot against Texas Aggies. But the Razorbacks’ 21-20 victory over Mississippi and the tough time the Aggies had with Baylor make this more of a contest on the record. However, I look for the Aggies to establish their superiority in the field impressively.
Rides With Green Wave
That Detroit-Tulsa game has the earmarks of a toss-up since the Golden Hurricane beat Texas Christian 7-0—it’s heads, Detroit. Clemson will be toppled from the undefeated class by Tulane. There's only a slight element of doubt in the Tennessee-Louisiana game— Tennessee will roll on. It would be an upset if South Carolina reduced Penn State to the defedted class. The rest of the undefeated teams incur even less risk of dethronement. In, other words, the defeat of such upper-dogs as Boston College, Cornell, Georgetown, Lafayette sh Sone Dame would be a major shoc /

Coach Tony Hinkle had been complaining that his backfield mites were having a hard time on pass defense. So the.photographer suggested they be put on stilts for tomorrow’s home-coming game with DePauw. At press time, Hinkle was still wary of the idea, but the photographer remained enthusiastic. What's your opinion? Anyway, the boys up in the air are Harold Feichter, Henry Abts, Harry Ellis and Ralph Swager.

Times Special
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 1.—High St. can be soothed temporarily tomorrow if Ohio State knocks over Bo McMillin’s football Hoosiers. But another Buckeye ‘loss and the clamor is likely to shake the foundation of the state capital. That's the situation facing Coach Francis Schmidt and his much-scribbled-about Buckeyes as they make ready to use Indiana for a stepping stone back to a place in the sun. Of course, the Hoosiers have something to say about all this, too. Indiana feelings weren't helped much last week when the Crimson returned home from Evanston with all the advantage in figures, a commendable press—and a loss. Maybe McMillin, just before game time, will: remind them also of the 24-0 shellacking they took here a year ago. : Bo has made the lessons stiff this week at Bloomington. The Hoosiers have been drilled in goal line offense, goal line defense, puntblocking, “timing, covering and returning punts, kickoffs and placekicking. : Indiana expects to use its usual mixture of passes “and rushes against the Bucks, the rushing end being bolstered by the return of Harold (Tuffy) Brooks. Brooks has been moved from quarter to half; where it is believed he can do more damage on foot. The passing, naturally, will be entrusted to Hurlin’ Hal Hursh, with Mickey McGuire designated as the No. 2 hurler, Although Jack Stephenson is listed as Ohio State’s starting right tackle, place-kicker Charlie Maag is expected to be recovered enough from his leg injury to resume serv-
ce. It’s quite likely that Coach Schmidt will insert a sophomore or two in his lineup—or at least the High St. quarterbacks believe he should. A recent diagnosis of Ohio State troubles showed that the yearlings have been used sparingly, and, it is maintained, that has resulted in an attitude of complacency. Until Dick Fisher and Jim Strausbaugh both were on the sidelines with injuries und Les Horvath became left halfback, $he Bucks had never started a sophomore.

Cornell's average weakened a bit in its tussle with Ohio State, but the Big Red remained in first place with 1697 yards in. four games for 4243 yards a contest. Cornell also led in passing, with a 227.3-yard average, while Lafayette’s unbeaten club paced rushing attack for the second week, with 1558 yards in five games.

Differ on Purdue-lowa Tilt
The Times’ football experts found themselves at odds before leaving this week’s games involving state teams. The dispute arose over the Purdue-Iowa encounter, with Elmer Layden of Notre Dame and Harry Ferguson of United Press : balloting for the Boilermakers.
White Godley and Harry Grayson of NEA pooh-poohed this choice.
But nobody would deny that Ohio State is going to beat Indiana or y that Notre Dame is going to wallop the Army. In fact, the boys were into rs rt a Big Ten discussion before the arguments were reopened. This time it was Layden, confident that the Wildcats will trim the Gophers. Nothing doing, said the other four—and Minnesota received four 'votes. Layden again found himself alone in selecting Navy, the 4-1 choice being Penn. Mr. Godley soloed into two teugh spots, picking North Carolina over Fordham and T. C. U. over Baylor. minority by nominating Syracuse over Georgetown. What really stumped the lads were a couple of Southern and one Godley and Grayson came out for Kentucky, but the other three votes went to Alabama. Tulane was blessed by Layden and Ferguson, while Clemson thrice was chosen. Layden and Ferguson again teamed to choose Oregon State in the face of three California votes.
Nevertheless, the five were as one on 12 games. Godley Ohio State

It's quite possible that a box of bubble gum may cost DePauw a football game tomorrow afternoon in the Butler Bowl. Please don’t misunderstand — Butler doesn’t intend to do any thing as unsportsmanlike as mire the Tigers in wax. No, the gum has been put to better use than that—and it’s all cricket.
This box of gum, we do believe, has kept the Butler family out of the doldrums they were entitled
to sink to after their hardships ;
and hard luck. Yet, instead‘\of recounting the disastrous mistakes in the Washington game or itemizing the injuries or bewailing the shorte age of kickers, passers and backs in general, Coach Tony Hinkle and his aids are chewing away their worries on the éve of home-coming.
A Smile from Tony
After making a general distribu~ °
tion of the gum yesterday to visie tors, players and "janitors, Tony actually smiled as he walked into the Bowl for the Bulldog's workout, There's a thesis subject for some
is | Phsychology major: “The Uplifting
Effects of a Hunk of Chicle.” But Hinkle still can lapse into his seriousness and at this late hour he does about ‘his starting backfield tomorrow. Charles Metzelaars, one of his rabbit backs, prob= ably won't play because of a bad knee! Neither will Steve Stoyko. So the starting quartet probably will be George Blare or James Gil= son at quarter; Ralph Swager at left half; Hank Abts or Elwood Norris at fullback and Harold Feichter at left half. :
A Kicker, Please
That still leaves the Bulldogs without a capable kicker, unless Abts’ knee is freed of some of its bandage. Paul McClellan, a reserve tackle, was being groomed to handle the kicking yesterday, the big idea being fo discourage the line
