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 "Jawn" Regeezi, Michigan's halfback, for two years one of the really 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.

But, just as 'there. were dinosaurs which survived rast the heydey cf the species, there still are football t2tms which stress weight above speed, agility, and skill. M 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.

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.

Norman Nickerson and Frank Dut- kowski are two freshmen who reported at the beginning of the season with reputations as great high school stars. Both, however, have been on the side- lines most of the time with minor ail- ments. Several on the squad have suf- fered strained muscles, charley horses and slight sprains, all of which have hampered the drilling. The annual game between the freshman physical education team and Fisher's. squad will be held during the last week of practice and will be the last practice session of the year for the first year gridders. It is likely that the date for the game will be set for Wednesday, November 21 with the game to be played at Ferry Field.

Eds. lost 7-0 and as neither Coach Weber, mentor of this squad, nor Fisher rate their groups above the average, the 1934 game should be another close one. 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.
