The boys went to work on the al- leged experts kinda early this fall as favorites toppled right and left, but that's what makes football the greatest game of them all because you're always starting with two strikes on you. Our batting average was pretty sad last week and know- ing that nothing worse can happen, we'll really settle down to some seri- ous selecting. Here are the choices in the coming weeke.nd games, Alabama—Fordbam The Crimson Tide came north with a big, defensive line, but their scor- ing power is limited. They have no breakaway backs that can match the yardage that will be picked up by Len Eshmont and Jimmy Blumen- stock. These two boys make the dif- ference. Colombia—Tale. Yale's DO pushover In the Bowl, Commenfotor) Colgate—Dnke The Red Raiders lost a decision and several regulars by injury against N. Y. U. They go into the hot, deep south to take another trim- ming from Wallace Wade and his Dukes. Anbnm—^Tnlane This'll give you the jitters, but Tulane ought to have enough to pull it oiit of the bag. T. C. U.—Arkansas Two of Saturday's losers hook up in a Southwest Conference battle. Arkansas seemed generally weak, while Christian was potentially bet- ter but needed rehearsing. T. C. U. must get the nod here. St Mary's—CallfomU The Golden Bears haven't found a combination to replace Bottari and Anderson, while Slip Madigan and his Galloping Gaels have pointed for this one and are ready to go. Cali- fornia's the favorite but the Gaels By JACK PULASKI Ceterino Garcia, the Filipino who lives in Los Angeles, finally reached the goal Monday (2) night at Madi- son Square Garden, when he stopped Fred Apostoli, of San Francisco, in the seventh round. The dark-hued socker has been on the verge several times in lighter divisions, but now can wear the world's middleweight crown—that is. so far as New York is concerned. Al Hostak, of Seattle, who has never been seen in these parts, is head man among the mid- dles as far as the National Boxing Association is concerned. It was a fiercely fought contest and for four rounds it looked like the wise-money lads, who laid eight to five on Apostoli, knew something. When the bell ended with fifth round, however, the bout looked rather even. Apostoli weighed in a half-pound over the 160-pound limit and was forced to work off the ex- cess. Again some experts called the turn, figuring that Garcia would win by a kayo about half-way through the 15-round. distance. Weight did not figure in Apostoli's defeat. He was socked simple by a harder hitter. The Frisco boy dis- played more speed and got in more blows during the early sessions, but could not absorb the harder punches of the tougher man any longer. The sixth round was. on the sensational side, it being then that Garcia went 'way out in front by landing crush- ng rights and one-twos to Apostoli's jaw. Fred fought back, but he looked about washed up. Apostoli went down three times in the seventh, sagging to the canvas the first time, only taking a one count. Next descent he waited on one knee, and then arose, but it was no use. A left hook sent him on his face, and the referee declared the fight over. Fallen man riiay have got- ten up, but would have surely been knocked cold. Apo-stoli has always put up lively exhibitions in the big town. He was reported not doing so well in the sticks this summer, but Garcia was on the losing end too many times around here, and the' smart money boys made it four to one he couldn't land a haymaker. It was the first fight in the Garden in months. Mike Jacobs recently de- voted his time to staging three major scraps out of town with a 10-day period. No Garden boxing shows are carded until Nov. 1, when Tony Canz'oncri, on a comeback route, is matched to itjeet the- undefeated' Al Davis, a Brooklynite. In the inter- val the rodeo will occupy the arena, Nov. 17 is the date for Billy Conn, the handsome Pittsburgher, to defend his light-heavyweight title again, be- ing matched to mix it with Gus Les- nevich, whom Jersey fans believe is a coming champ. Garcia wants to take a shot at Conn, too, although considerably under the 175-pound mark. The Filipino cares little for weight on the other fellow, but Conn's advisers would like to see him take on more poundage, in the expectation that in a year or two he will qualify to step into the ring with Joe Louis and contest for the major title. Probable Football Winners And Proper Odds (October 7) By DICK nSHELL GAMES WINNEB ODDS Alabama—Fordbam .Fordbam S-S Colombia—Tale Colombia 6-S Bocknell—Fenn State Penn State 2-1 Syracosc—Cornell Cornell 9-5 L. S. v.—Holy Cross Holy Cross 11-5 Michigan State—Michigan Michigan 9-5 Minnesota—Nebraska '..Minnesota 3-1 Oklahoma—Northwestern Northwestern 12-5 Georgia Tech—Notre Dame Notre Dame 2-1 MissonrI—Ohio State .Missouri 5-12 Colgate—Doke Doke 2-1 Aobarn—^Tulane Tolane 2-1 T.

California 12-5 Stanford—Oregon Oregon 6-5 Texas—^Wisconsin Wisconsin 8-5 but when the ever-optimistic Greasy Neale starts to cry, then you know their situation Is pathetic. Colum- bia's not much better off, but they have Les Stanczyk, a great runner, and a Lou Little team always starts fast Bocknell—Penn State Bucknell was a strong squad a year ago, but the Nittany Lions have their greatest material and are looking forward to bigger and bet- ter things. Should win by two touch- downs. Syracuse—Cornell The best potential talent In the east wijl wear Orange Jersey.s this fall, but whether it can be developed into a winning combination with a will to win, is another story. Cor- nell, with great backs and the best coaching in this sector, will avenge last year's upset and grab a close one. L. S. v.—Holy Cross Not enough touchdowns and too much politics doesn't make for good football. Holy Cross has no politics and a fellow by the name of Ronnie Cahill is one of the greatest touch- down makers in the game. There- fore, the Cross is on the long end of this one. Michigan State—Michigan This is plenty close with Mich.- the favorite. They are both, well-drilled squad.s, but on records of last fall, the Wolverines must get the edge. Minnesota—Nebraska The vaunted power displayed by the Gophers seems to presage a re- turn to the top this fall. The Cornhuskers got a tie last week, but they'll go into the losing column against Bernie Bierman's gang. Oklahoma—Nortbwestern This is only a fair, Oklahoma team, while Northwestern will take the wraps oft a dozen, talented, ball- toters. including Bill De Correvont. This mob will get enough tallies to ease in. Georgia Tecb—Notl-e'Dame Tech lost its best athletes via the diploma. The Irish got over Purdue and now they'll have fun in beating the Rambling Wreck from Tech. Missouri—Ohio State Ohio state's the big favorite but the Buckeyes have razzle-dazzle, but Missouri's sound in every de- partment and has a honey in Paul Christman. We're calling for Ml.s- sourl to upset Ohio State. will upset the applecart and lift th* mortgage with a victory. Washington Slate—U. S. C. Washington's just fair and South- ern Cal. will turn on the heat to leave no doubt about its potency. By two touchdowns. Stanford—Oregon Stanford's Indians are goin' no place in a hurry, while Oregon is moving up the ladder and may cop that Coast title. It will use Stan- ford as a stepping ston^ Texas—^Wisconsin Things are not rosy at Texas: as the Longhorns struggle to get back to pigskin supremacy. Wisconsin's aerial attack should provide the margin of victory. Legit, Barley Permits Songht in Bridgeport Bridgeport, Oct. 3. Permits for stage shows, ranging from burlesque to legit, at the Park and Lyric theatres, are beini? sought by Jules J. Leventhal and Max Rud- nick, respectively. . Leventhal wants to put road shows into the Park, last used by WPA. Rudnick's plan Is hurley, which a few years ago showed at Lyric, Loew- Poll property recently reopened as a picture house. Besides strict censorship, police superintendent requires bond of $1,500 from each producer for per- former and stagehand salaries. Mexican Groups Ask Ban on Canned Music Mexico City, Oct. 3. The national musicians union and the conservatory of music are again fighting canned music. They ' ask congress to pass a law calling for total exclusion of tunesters in cine- mas, theatres, restaurants and like places that use phonographs and other music-making apparatus. They blame canned music for the unem- ployment of thousands of musicians. Operators of these apparatus coun- ter with the argument that the de- pression makes them economize and (hat the public likes canned music.
