legiate football card, three of the teams are undefeated, one has been tied. The only game in which the records of both teams are without the blemish of even a tie is the Minnesota-Michigan contest. Michigan has at least as strong a defense as Northwestern, beaten by Minnesota with only a point after touchdown. The Wolverines have demonstrated an offense apparently. capable of taking advant-

Aggies Face Big Test
The winner of the MinnesotaMichigan game will head the Western Conference and will be considered for national honors. A similar stake is in the balance when Texas Aggies and Southern Methodist meet in the Southwest. My choice rides on the unde-
feated but tied Mustangs. Last year they gave Texas Aggies a

kicking of Johnston, the passing of Mallouf, and the Mustangs’ resourcefulness should prevail over the Aggies’ powerhouse, headed by Fullback John Kimbrough. Conference leadership and national recognition are also prizes in the Washington-Stanford game on the Pacific Coast. The Huskies lost their first game to Minnesota, but showed much of their vaunted power even in defeat. They have not been beaten on the coast, and their recent scare by California put them on edge to give Clark Shaughnessy’s surprising Redskins their first defeat. . .Except Lafayette, which will have a tussle with Rutgers, Notre Dame

2 | nessee will trounce Southwestern.
Syracuse may bother Penn State, but. the latter is a strong favorite. Centenary is no match for unbeaten, once-tied Texas Tech.
The Notre Dame-Navy game is something else again.
The Middies have their best team in years. They have made us work hard and have beaten us in the past with a less formidable array. They looked as good in their first defeat last Saturday as we looked bad in victory. We had four comparatively easy games before Army last week. The Cadets improved in personnel as the result of the return of crippled key men for this game, they fought with all the traditional spirit which has made this game a battle regardless of previous records.
We did not rise to the. occasion as well as might have been expected. If the Irish have as much ability and fight as I think they haye, we will come back against the Navy. Many fine games are lined up for this week-end. Some of the contestants may be back in ‘the national title picture before the season is over. Northwestern, emotionally somewhat spent by the gallant fight with Minnesota, is endangered by Illin-
lois, but will come through on top.
Fordham has too many guns for Purdue. Alabama did a good job against Kentucky (25-0), but Tulane’s Green Wave is rising again and will turn. back the Crimson Tide. Up-and-down Auburn will be up again at Clemson’s expense.
Nebraska Is Picked
Iowa's Hawkeyes will be ready to start all over again when they meet Notre Dame a week from Saturday. They will experience their third straight major defeat at the rough hands of Nebraska's Cornhuskers Saturday.

12 Teams Risk (Clean Slates
By LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Nov. 8 (U. P— Twelve major football teams put their perfect records on the block this week-end and at least one is bound to get the ax, while three others have no better than even chance of remaining undefeated and untied. . The certain casualty will come in the Minnesota-Michigan battle for the Little Brown Jug at Minneapolis, only game in the nation sending a pair of perfect record teams against each other. Stanford, Lafayette and Franklin and Marshall are the three clubs given no better than a 50-50 chance of remaining in the select circle. Of the seven favorites, Notre Dame, Texas Aggies and Penn State seem to have the tougher assignments while Cornell, Boston College, Georgetown and Tennessee should retain their unblemished records without undue trouble.
Michigan Is Choice Tommy Harmon makes Michigan the choice over Minnesota and news that Forrest Evashevski, the Wolvetines’ great blocking back and signal caller, will be back in the lineup should increase the odds against the Gophers. Western Conference and national honors are at stake here. The big game of the Pacific Coast sends Stanford, last of the Far Western undefeated and untied clubs, against Washington, beaten only by Minnesota in a game that most likely will decide the conference title and the western defender of the Rose Bowl champion-|o ship. Stepping up the caliber of its schedule this year, little Franklin and Marshall may catch a tartar in New York University, a fair team that has lost five in a row and is aching for a chance to redeem itself. Trouble also is seen for Lafayette, conqueror of N. Y. U.,, and Army, in its tilt with a Rutgers’ eleven that has bowed only to Princeton. Navy Is Dangerous You have to stick with Notre Dame over Navy, but the Irish’s squeaky 7-0 victory over a weak Army team last week, might be indicative of an upset in the making. The Middies are judged much stronger thdn the eleven from West Point and have the same ability to reach the inspirational heights that snubbed the Notre Dame machine last week. Texas’ Aggies have no breeze in Southern Methodist, a team tied only by Pittsburgh and still undefeated, and Penn State usually finds the a team beaten three times but by no less powers than Northwestern, Cornell and Georgetown.

Harmon Hopes
For a Double
By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 8 (U. P.).—Great as he is, Tommy Harmon of Michigan has failed in his two chief ambitions in football and tomorrow, in Minnesota's packed Memorial Stadium, he has his last chance to make good.
The setting: Michigan and Minnesota, rivals almost as old as football in the West, are undefeated and untied, last perfect” record teams in the Big Ten. The Western Conference title and a share in national glory almost certainly will go to the winner. A crowd of 64,000 has guaranteed a sellout.
Now for Harmon: The All-Amer-ica halfback from Gary, Ind. had
to a Big Ten title. He never has. He also hopes to end the longest winning streak any team ever. has
| had against Michigan and he failed
in that. Goshen Stopped Him
The last Michigan victory over Minnesota came in 1932, when Bernie Bierman was laying the foundation of what later was to become Minnesota’s golden era of football. Twice Minnesota stopped Harmon. Six games in a row have gone to the Gophers and there is no more stinging defeat in that string than last year’s drubbing, 20 to 7.
Harmon and his sharp-blocking teammates, who ask nothing more
loose on a touchdown run, have dedicated the 1940 season to Athletic Director Fielding H. Yost. The major obstacle is Minnesota and Michigan is prepared to-go all out. Northwestern meets Illinois in the only other conference game of the day. The Wildcats, who still hope to win or share the conference championship despite their one-point defeat by Minnesota, is worried about Illinois. The Illini still are figured to have an upset somewhere in their system and off their improved showing at Wisconsin last week, Northwestern fears that “tough game” is coming up Saturday. De Correvant Is Out
Illinois is crippled and lacks speed. Its passing, however, reached a new high last week. Northwestern still expects to be without the services of Bill De Correvant, whose injured ankle has not responded properly. In De Correvant’s absence, fullback Paul Soper, who beat the Illini last year, returns to left half as alternate to Red Hahnenstein. Wisconsin and Purdue have reached the unpredictable stage. Both are loaded with sophomores and speed. Both have improved steadily. Wisconsin has the stuff to lick Columbia, but Purdue is a decided underdog at Fordham. Iowa, too, rates the short end at Nebraska, whieh has come up with its best team since 1937. , The Huskers already have disposed of last year’s Big Six champions, Missouri, and apparently are on their way back to power after giving way first to Oklahoma in 1938, then Missouri.
Thesz Headlines Wrestling Card
After an absence of several months, Louis THhesz, 230, a highpowered and top notch performer out of St. Louis, will come here to top the Armory grappling card next Tuesday night. Opposition will be furnished by Pat Fraley, 225, rugged and aggressive Nebraska matman who was here several seasons ago as the “Black Secret.” At that time, Pat wore a mask and hung up a string of victories, including a defeat over Gus Sonnenberg. : Thesz ruled for a short time as heavyweight champ and.has scored against such grapplers as George (Cry Baby) Zaharias, Danno O'Mahoney and Steve (Crusher) Casey.
Tech’s Freshen
And Reserves Win
Two Tech football squads turned in shutout victories yesterday, the freshmen winning from the Continental yearlings, 26-0, at the East Side field, while the reserves were gaining a 19-0 verdict over the Washington “B” team at the West Side gridiron. Out at Tech, the home team took a commanding lead in the second quarter when Bobby Meyer pushed across two touchdowns. The plunge was good on one attempted. conversion, and the Techites entered the second half with a 13-0 margin and doubled this count soon afterwards with two more six-pointers.
