I_,

ALTHOUGH we missed up on one game last week, we got five of the games
on the right side of the ledger and that is pretty good figurin' for any
amateur. That leaves me with 10 winners, one loser and no ties for the
season and a percentage of .900, which ain't had considering some of the
major upsets of the year.
OHIO STATE-ILLINOIS-This should easily be the top game of the
week and may develop into one of the best games of the entire season. The
Illini don't have a chance for the Big Ten title now and they will be ready
to gamble a lot in trying for an upset. This will be a battle between
Buddy Young of Illinois and Les Horvath for the Buckeyes. Ohio has the
better line and they are going to use the same defense Michigan used'
on Illinois, but their success won't be able to hold Young down. However,
the Buckeyes will come through after a scare, 26-21.
NAVY-PURDUE-The Boilermakers have bounced back since their
initial defeat by Michigan, and though the Middies are potentially good.
they aren't working as a unit and should get a fair test from Boris Diman-
cheff's hard running. This will be Navy's last game before meeting Army
and they should come through in another tough battle, 19-6.
WISCONSIN-MICHIGAN-Although the Wolverines are due for a
slight let-down, they are fully aware of the significance of this game and
they will be playing heads-up ball. Wisconsin will be all hopped up and
they will have an added initiative to win, but they have also lost the ser-
vices of Earl (Jug) Girard, great freshman back. This will be a much
tougher battle than most fans suppose, but we'll stick to:Michigan, 27-6.
NOTRE DAME-NORTHWESTERN-The Irish have witnessed some
rough going and they have many players injured as a result. The Wildcats
have not beaten Notre Dame since 1940, and though neither of the teams
are sensational this year, the luck of the Irish should carry them through
20-6.
IOWA PRE-FLIGHT-MISSOURI--The Seahawks got a bad start
when they lost their opener, but they have been going along smoothly
and have topped some of the best teams in the country. They are still
in the rating for the best service team in the nation and the men from
Missouri won't hamper their status-it's Iowa, 34-0.
ARMY-PENN-Army will hit with such suddenness and fury that will
amaze staunch rooters of Philadelphia. The score could go fairly high
if the Cadets poured on the power, but we'll say Army, 40-0.
MINNESOTA-IOWA-The Gophers came into their own last week
when they upset the Hoosiers and a victory today would elevate them
to the upper part of the Conference :standings. The Hawkeyes will finish
their season with this game, but that is the only attention they will receive.
Minnesota 21, Iowa 0.
INDIANA-PITTSBURGH-It would be a shame if Coach Bo McMillin's
Hoosiers lost this one, too, but that is hardly possible. Pitt might have
had a fighting chance at the beginning of the year, but they are too
weary from so many beatings right now. Indiana 41, Pittsburg 6.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA-CALIFORNIA-This will mean a bid to
the Rose Bowl for the Trojans if they come through and most experts are
picking them by a close margin. However, I think California will be geared
for an upset, so we'll pick them, 19-14.
MISSISSIPPI STATE-ALABAMA-This will be another tough game to
pick and it will be much tougher on the field of battle. However, the ladsI
from Mississippi will spring a surprise on the Crimson Tide, 12-7.
GAMBLER'S BLUES:'
RaCing Deelared fle aal

TWO BADGER THREATS-Earl "Jug" Girard, Wisconsin's 17-year-
old triple-threat tailback, and Nick Collias, hard-charging 194-pound
guard, shape up as the two men most likely to give Michigan trouble
this afternoon.

ducting races at the Grounds, Judge1
Miller termed horse racing "a 'suck-
er game' in which the state invites'
its people to take part in order, that
they may be fleeced."
The suit was filed by Edward J.
Rohan and his wife, Josephine, who
own property within 50 feet of the
proposed site of a new wooden horse
barn. It contended that the races
constituted a "private and public
nuisance" and that the new barn
would result in a crowd of "hangers-
on, touts and other persons who make
their living by their ingenuity."
In his ruling, which paves the way
for issuance of a permanent injunc-
tion against racing, Judge Miller de-
nied a motion of the defendants for
dismissal of the complaint, and then
held the horse racing act of 1933 to
be unconstitutional. Ben. H. Cole,
Assistant Attorney-General repre-
senting the Racing Commission, stat-
,ed his intention to appeal the ruling
to the State Supreme Court as soon
as the injunction issues.
Judge Miller stated that there is
a constitutional prohibition of lotter-
ies in the state, and said that under
a "sensible, construction" of the word
lottery, "the people of the state of
Michigan intended to see to it that
the legislature should never permit
gambling enterprises in this state
whose outcome depended on the op-
eration of chance."
According to this interpretation, he
continued, "the state of Michigan is
itself engaged in criminal operations,
except for the effect of the 1933 _act,
and I here hold that that act is
unconstitutional."

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-(P)-Army
and Navy are picked to win their
football games tomorrow, their final
skirmishes before the annual service
clash on Dec. 2. (Season's record:
188 correct and 46 incorrect for .803)
TODAY'S SELECTIONS:
Army over Penn: Penn's tackles
may cause Army some difficulty but
lack of healthy Quaker punter will be
fatal.
Navy over Purdue: Middies may
have difficulty if Jenkins and Ham-
berg both are kept idle by their in-
juries.
Ohio State over Illinois: Buckeyes
are reported ready, physically and'
mentally.
Mississippi State over Alabama:
Shorty McWilliams to get loose often
enough for State's seventh victory in
a row.
Southern California over Califor-
nia: Jim Hardy still is there to flip
those passes for the Trojans.
Georgia Tech over Louisiana State:
Should be easy for Tech, with this
reservation-we haven't picked LSU
correctly in any game this season.
Notre Dame over Northwestern:
56,000 fans are coming out to see if
the Irish will rebound from last
week's massacre. They will.
Yale over North Carolina: A severe
test for the unbeaten Elies but they
should survive.
Iowa Pre-Flight over Missouri: The
Seahawks pack too much of a punch.
Great Lakes over Marquette: It
was 45 to 7 in their first meeting this
year .and tomorrow's score shouldn't
be much different.-
Arkansas over Southern Metho-
dist: The surprising Razorbacks to
remain in the Southwest title race.
Indiana over Pittsburgh: The Hoo-
siers with ease.
Texas over Texas Christian: De-
Cochran Edges
Hoppe at Detroit
DETROIT, Nov. 17.-(I')-Welker
Cochran, San Francisco challenger,
defeated Willie Hoppe, world three-
,cushion billiards champion, 50 to 49,
in 42 innings in tonight's block of
their 1,500-point challenge series for
the world's title.
Under rules of championship
match play, which require play to
continue until 850 points are reached,
Hoppe counted a billiard to hold
Cochran even, 50 to 50, and thus held
the four-point margin he gained by
winning the afternoon block, 50 to
46, in 39 innings.
Hoppe has piled up 850 points to
Cochran's 808.
Cochran shot a sensational run of
11, the best in the 17 blocks played
in the series.

spite the numerous upsets in this
rivalry, Texas shouldn't have too
much difficulty.
Second Air Force over Washington:
The second defeat in a row for the
Huskies.
Oklahoma over Kansas: The Soon-
ers clinch their Big Six title in this
one.
Finishing in a Hurry-East: Col-
gate over Syracuse, Cornell over
Dartmouth, Columbia over Brown,
West Virginia over Kentucky, Ten-
nessee over Temple, Penn State over
Maryland, Bucknell over Villanova,
Lafayette over Lehigh, Princeton
over Swarthmore, Melville, R.I., PT
School over Holy Cross (Sunday).

bridge over Camp Lejeune, North

ry, Tulane over Clemson, Duke over

Barclay Names
Starting Lineup
For Opener
Morrie Bikoff Will
Play for Wolverines
By MARY LU HEATH
With the season's opener against
the Romulus Air Base less than a
week away, Assistant Basketbal]
Coach Bill Barclay yesterday named
the probable starting lineup for the
contest with the Flyers and con-
firmed reports that Morrie Bikoff
letterman on the Wolverine cage
squad two years ago who was recent-
ly released from the Army, will play
for Michigan again this season.
Barclay, who has been fairly sure
of three of his five starters and has
.been looking for a center and guard
announced that his search is tenta-
tively over and that he has found the
two men necessary to complete the
combination, which has so far con-
sisted of sharp-shooting forwards
Ted Berce and Keith Harder, ex-
University of Virginia star, with Dor
Lindquist at a guard position.
Kell, Mullaney Chosen
In filling the remaining two posts
Barclay has chosen Walt Kell, a V-1
trainee who will be playing for Mich-
igan for the first time. This will no
be Kell's initial outing for a Wol-
verine squad, however, because the
slight Navyman was an alternate
third-sacker on last spring's cham-
pionship baseball team.
John Mullaney, a civilian, will fil
the center position, although he wa
earlier considered for a guard berth
When Barclay found that he was no
well-stocked with center candidates
he-shifted Mullaney to that positior
in a seemingly successful attempt t
remedy the situation.
Bikoff at Practice
It is too early to estimate the par
Bikoff will play in the 1944-45 Wol.
verine cage plans, because he ha
only been practicing with the squac
for a few days. During the '42 cam-
paign the tiny guard was a decide
asset to the cagers, with his speedy
colorful play and flashy ball-hand.
ling.
Meanwhile, the squad looked t
the Romulus clash with somethin
less than anticipation. The Air Base
cagers are an extremely big team
with the average height being ap
proximately 6'2" or 6,'. The start-
ing roster includes .Bob Grisen wh(
played for the Wolverines four or fiv
years ago in the forward slot.
Big Romulus Outfit
Another member of the Romulu
team who is probably familiar t
cage fans in the state is Chuc
Smith, ace Central Michigan guar
three years ago. His teammates wil
be dangerous to any squad the
oppose, since the majority of them
have had previous college or semi
pro experience.
This is the team which the Wol
verines will be facing at Romulu
Friday night, providing the presen
members are allowed to remain a

that they will be shipped out, how
ever. The Romulus post supplie
