In games outside the Big Ten today
it looks like the nation is in for an
other Saturday of anythig-can-hap
pen football. Prognosticators groane
last week-end when the results rolle
in, but they groan in advance as the
try to pick the winners from the na
tional grid card today.,
Inasmuch as Pitt is playing abou
with Westminster, the Colgate-Hol
Cross game headlines the schedule i
the East, with the Army-Yale tilt no
far behind. Colgate's Rose Bowl as-
pirations were dealt a blow last week-
end when Ohio State turned back th
Red Raiders, 10-7. Coach Andy Kerr
however, has the makings of one o:
the best teams in the East and wil
undoubtedly give the Crusaders, de-
spite a 26-6 victory over Harvard
their first real test of the season. It's
a toss up; no odds either way.
Army-Yale Tangle
Army's prestige and series of over-
whelming victories over Davidson
Drake, and Sewanee, is generally fa-
vored over Yale. But the Bulldog, al-
though theoretically building for next
season, is coming back fast. Witness
the 37-0 submersion of Brown last
week!
Another battle which defies predic-
tion is that between Fordham and
Southern Methodist. Jim Crowley's
boys, with but one touchdown scored
against Boston College and a 14-9
loss to St. Mary's last Saturday, don't
look much like a sure bet over the
Mustangs. The southerners held Rice
to nine points, which is better than
Purdue fared against the same team.
The remainder of the games in the
East lend themselves more readily to
selection. Princeton, despite a scare
from Washington and Lee, should find
Cornell a comfortable opponent. Navy
should take Penn. Likewise, Columbia
is generally given the call over Penn
State.
Dartmouth has been riding high
and should take its first real test
againstHarvard in good shape. Brown
is in for another trouncing, this time
from Syracuse. Purdue will defend
Conference laurels when it invades the
Carnegie Tech gridiron. N.Y.U. and
Georgetown, however, look as evenly
matched as any two teams can.
Georgetown perhaps has a better de-
fense.
In the West
Notre Dame should again success-
fully invade the Big Ten circles
when it meets Wisconsin. The Fight-
ing Irish were better than Purdue by
two touchdowns two weeks ago, and
the Boilermakers in turn were better
than the Badgers by two touchdowns
last week, so on paper the game goes
to the Irish.
Chicago will be opposed against
Missouri, a team which hasn't scored
a point as yet this season. Berwanger
will be too much for the Mules' de-
fense.
Turning to the South, the Tennes-
see-Duke tilt is outstanding. Tennes-
see is favored, although Duke has
ridden rough-shod over Clemson,
Georgia Tech, and Davidson. Ala-
bama, one of the Rose Bowl candi-
dates, has Tennessee out of the way
now and will find Georgia much eas-
ier. Georgia Tech will continue to
play the part of door-mat-of-the-
South, while Tulane benefits.
Eyes On Iowa State
All eyes are on Iowa State today in
the Mid-West. Will she lay hands on
the Mid-West crown by knocking Ne-
braska from her perch? State licked
Iowa, 31-6, last week, and appears
to have the goods to trounce Nebraska
for the first time since 1919.
Across the Rockies, the Washington
State-Oregon State, Stanford-South-
ern California, and Washington-Cali-
fornia games are prominent. Wash-!
ington State, by virtue of a 19-0 win
over Southern California, a team
which Oregon State could only tie,
6-6, is highly favored over the Beav-
ers. Southern California appears
doomed to take the bumps this year,
Irvine Warburton to the contrary. The
Trojans may surprise today though.
Coach Howard Jones has rebuilt be-
fore. Washington gets the call over
California, the latter having shown
only a mediocre attack this season.
early this merning, before Gen-;
aral Manager Eddie Collins was up
and doing, Clark Griffith, veteran
owner of the Senators, stunned the
,aseball world by announcing from
Washington he had sold Cronin for'
t price that made even the Babe
!uth purchase tag of $125,000 read
almost like pin money.
First Wanted Cochrane (
Not only did Yawkey part withl
X150,000 cash but he also threw in
Lyn Lary, the smart-fielding short-
stop, for whom about $35,000 was
paid to the New York Yankees in a
mid-season deal.
When Collins confirmed the Grif-
fith announcement, he intimated
Cronin, who will be given a five-year
contract, would have unlimited
financial support to strengthen the
Red Sox for the 1935 season. Cronin,
who recently married June Robert-
son, Griffith's adopted daughter, ar-
rived at his San Francisco home a
few days ago. He will not come East
until just before the major league
meetings in early December.
Collins explained the Cronin deal
was consumated only yesterday in
Yawkey's New York offices.
"It had been on the fire since the
World Series," Eddie explained.
"When we were in Detroit Tom asked

fine punters of the country, has been handicapped in his kicking all
fall by an injury to his leg, suffered early in the season. He is expected
to return to his old form soon, however, and it may be today when he
faces Les Lindberg, Illinois booter. Russ Oliver, quarterback, and Cedric
Sweet, fullback, are other punters on the Michigan squad who may share
this duty with Regeczi today, if John is not up to form.

pening since the ban an the fly-

The Michigan line has shown dis-
tinctly dinosaurish tendencies this
year and has had results comparable
to a dinosaur facing a battery of
French 75's. The very weight which
everyone talked about so reassuring-
ly before the fateful Oct. 6 has prov-
en to be a liability instead of an asset.
ON OCT. 6 Michigan's 200-pound
line faced a Michigan State for-

THEY SOP IT UP
The Tulane football huskies of
1934 might well be called "milk-sops."
That is, they might be called that
on a basis of fact - but not to their
faces.
Each and every one of the candi-
dates - 60 of them - drinks a gallon
of milk each day. A quart for break-
fast, luncheon, and supper - and
another quart before retiring.

Cronin Is Pleased
With Sale To Sox
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26. - (A) -
Still a bit bewildered by his sale to
the Boston Red Sox as playing man-
ager, smiling Joe Cronin 'expressed
pleasure over the deal here tonight
and said "the outlook is fine."
"Boston is one of the greatest sport
towns in the world," he said. "A fel-
low with an Irish name like mine)
ought to get along there. Remember
John L. Sullivan came from there."
"It all happened so quickly I'm still
in a whirl," said the twenty-eight-
year-old star. "There was some talk of
a deal before I left the East but I was)
plenty surprised when Clark Griffith)
telephoned me last night to tell me iti
had been consummated."
He said he was "delighted" with
the terms of his new five-year con-
tract and that his salary was sub-
stantially increased over that re-
ceived from Washington. It is un-
derstcod he received around $20,000
a year from the Senators.
laughed at that idea, I warned him
that my second choice, Joe Cronin,
was just as hard to get.
Satisfied with Harris
"Griffith would never part with
Cronin, I explained to Tom. Perhaps
he won't,' Tom answered, 'but I'll
make him an offer that will jar him
for the rest of his life."
It is a strange conctdnce that
Cronin, known as '"Boy Manage,
No. 2," suceeds Stanley "Bucky"
Harris, baseball's original youthful
master-mind. Harris, who led Grif-
fith's club to two pennants and a
world championship, before taking
over the managerial reins in Detroit,
signed a one-year Boston contract
last fall.
Harris, bucking the most dis-
couraging kind of conditions, man-
aged to finish the Red Sox in fourth
place. It was the first time a Boston
American League Club landed in the
first division since 1918, when it won
its last pennant. Baseball men agree
that the pitching blight, which
struck Bob "Lefty" Grove, "Rube"
Walberg, George Pipgras and several
others, cheated the club out of the
runner-up position, if not the pen-
nant.
"We were not dissatisfied with
Harris," Collins explained. "He was
as succesful as any man could be
under the circiumstances but we
realize we need a manager of
Cronin's forceful personality and
magnetic fire.
