There's no punch in the West Point attack and there should be a difference of two touch- downs. Fordham—Rice The Rice Owls have been a tough- lUiik outfit all year. The Rams have gdtton the smell of victory and they'll continue to stay on the right side of the ledger by gaining an edge over Rice. Cornell—Columbia The Cornellians are at the top of the class, while Columbia's just shuf- fling ^long. Unless it has a severe letdown, Cornell romps home with this one. Penn—Navy The sailors have shown no sus- tained attack and have proven vul- Texas A&M—Arkansas Texas ASiMi as it's proven itself to be one of the flnest. SMU—Texas I Here's a close one, but Southern Methodist has the sounder system and more power. There won't be more than one touchdown separate ing the two. Baylor—Texas CbrlGtian The Southwest Conference battle, with-neither team being too tough. TCU gets the nod because of the coaching of Dutch Meyer. Stanford—Santa Clara Stanford and its double-wing back are making no progress, while Santa Clara ha^ come along in a hurry and is ripe to take the Indians. VCLA—Calirornia Cal, Is in the doldrums while the UCLAS, paced by speed boys, have Tony Lew increase granted to you was given only in face of threats, nevertheless granting of your increase justifies their demands. 'In the meantime various locals belonging to your organization in other communities have signed agreements continuing their cild wage scales, indicating that they realize the impossibility of an in- crease at this time. Many individual members of your local unions have admitted to me that they_considered increase at this time unfair and im- practical. 'We feel thai all evil consequences that at our last conference we point- ed out to you, would result from granting your demands, have come to pass. . . . We appeal to your sense of fairness and decency to your in- terest in preserving the. jobs jn a go- ing industry for the men you rep- resent to recede fro/n your demands and to voluntarily relinquish in- crease heretofore granted you, and by so doing to become constructive force for preservation of their busi- ness rather than the element that destroys it. We ask your early con- sideration and action.'

With Frank Reagan tossing, Penn will siiik the Navy. Syracuse—Michigan State Two of the lower strata mingle here. Michigan State doesn't have more talent but it does have more spark. It's Michigan State. Temple—Pitt Temple's on its way up while Pitt Is standing still. Pitt has plenty to atone for and will take it'out on the hides of the Owls. Tale—Dartmouth Dartmouth couldn't score against Navy and looked only fair against Harvard. The "Vales have beaten Columbia and Army and so it looks like the big Yale line will upset the dope and keep Dartmouth from its door. Alabama—Kentucky This will be quite a dog fight. But 'Bama must .be given the edge be- cause of its tighter defense. Georgia Tech—Duke Tech is one of the better teams in Dixie, btit it hasn't enough to cope with Duke's McAfee brothers. LCU—Tennessee Louisiana's got Ken Kavanaugh. But that's all. The Tennessee Vols are rated the best in the land. If they can stymie the Louisiana pass- ing game, there'll be nothing to it. Michigan—Illinois Michigan, with its Tom Harmon, should further prove its right to the Big Ten title. Harvard—Princeton I^arvard's a weak sister and- is still two weeks away from a decent ground game. Princeton, v/ith . a well-balanced attack, should have no trouble. Minnesota—Northwestern Two of the disappointments in the midwest. Minnesota, with its sopho- mores having a couple under their belts, should go. to town. Ohio State—Indiana The Ohio State Buckeyes discov- ered the facts of life against CornelK They'll slap down Indiana. Purdue—Iowa I Iowa has its Kinnick, but Purdue . has Brown, Brock and Bylene. Pur^ due has the better all-around game I and gets the vote. been going along In high gear. UCLA will break Robinson or Washington loose for enough tallies to win. use—Oregon state Oregon State is nobody's pushover, but Southern Cal. is headed Rose Bowl way.. It'll continue in that.di- . rection by bumping off State. Oregon—^Washington State This is all Oregon because Wash- ington State has no teeth to bite. Oregon should wind up a couple of touchdowns in front. Great States Routes Borders HeHsaTireUInit- Chicago, Oct. 31. For the first time in years, the Balaban & Katz Great States circuit, which has been playing occasional, top ranking name acts in key cities only, has opened Its entire string of. cities to a unit, Al Borde's 'Hells- aflre' production, with the Benny Merpff band and Rex Weber. Great States has set the unit in .some 10 towns, several of which haven't had a stage show in more than a year.
