The writers predicted that the four perfect record team in action Colorado, Lafayette, Santa Clara and Alabama would keep their slates clean.

The other member of the unbeaten brigade, Montana, will be Idle. All the imbeiften but tied teams except Nebraska which play will win, the writers forecast. They are California, Yale, Dartmouth, Pittsburgh, Holy Cross and Duke. The selections by sections: EAST Notre-Dame over Army It will he very close.

Dartmouth, town Coaches' Association takes a stance in the middle nf the field between halves, and immediately is the victim of a high-low block perpetrated by "Bucket" Lyons and Howie Freckleton, game officials. Through the second half Kown keeps a wary eye out for other prospective attackers. Bill Cox, couch of the I'niver-aity of Rochester eleven, is an Interested spectator.

And Johnny Sullivan, mentor of the unbeaten Aquinas grid forces, wields the line stick and seems to he enjoying himself thoroughly. You circulate among the crowd, an ear cocked for side-line witticism, and your visual attention divided between the game itself and the antics of the pulchritudinoiis cheer leaders tor both factions, fin. 1 wisecrack of a very poor day In that line comes with this remark of a Fairport rooter: "Here comes our waterboy. Watch him pour over So you give up that line of endeavor. The Baysiders get their chance to chPer In the second quarter, when Magin takes a 15-yard pass and sprint 30 yard for a touchdown.

After that. It's pretty much all Fairport, The punts of Masciangelo and the precision of Ben Miller's placement after touchdown for Fairport are impressive. Three touchdowns, three placements. The first one wins the game, the rest are anti-climactic. The Fairport dressing room presents a wild scene after the final whistle.

Photographers versny of hand to while members Aquinas Foe Scrappy One E. Rochester Team Set to Push Irish To Their Limit ITTLE and light but with ij plenty of class nd fight, Ray Skinner's East Rochester High gridders, who tied for second place in Monroe County League play, will provide the last teat of the season for a powerful, undefeated Aquinas Institute at Edgerton Park Paddock tomorrow. Minus the man-power of its favored opponent, East Eochester will go into the game with no delusions of grandeur but with a very definite intention of surprising the Irish. After a shaky start in the County League, the Piano Towners wound up on the same level with the buiiy Irondequoit team and hopes to continue its giant-killing tomorrow against the Maroon. Three stars will be absent from the Orange squad, which really believes it can give the Goliathlike Maroons a battle.

Capt. Andy Sebastian, who faced the Irish in two previous games. Is on the bench with a broken leg. Wilkins, regular center, is out with an injured knee and Craig Bruthers has been forced to quit because of general poor health. In spite of Its handicaps and misfortunes, the Orange will field a clever line and a versatile back-field.

The combination of Pat Scarpino and Dean Becker, ends; Stew Smith and Dan Riegle, tackles; Bob Dygctt and Bob Wcincrt, guards, and Ted Mauro, center, will be one of the few to play Aquinas which has not had a weight advantage. The average is ta mere 155 pounds, and the backs, Quarterback Jack Mousso, Ed Karr and Frank Scumaci, halves, and Ben Adasiak, fullback, average Ave pounds less. ZITES TO BANQUET Zutea Softball team will hold its annui banquet tomorrow night at 7:30 o'clock at Reinhart's, Portland Avenue. Principal speakers will be Charles Zutes, team sponsor; Frank Gaglardi, and Frank Cap-pano, team coach. Tomorrow Congratulations were in order in Fairport dressing room following victory over Irondequoit yesterday.

Here's Bill Cox, right, Uni- Rochester coach, slipping glad Coach Joe Cummings of victors of winning team look on, Wysocki provided the Pennsylvania Felines with both of their touchdowns. He made the first one i in the second period, when ha i blocked and recovered one of Solly Nechtem's punts and scampered 35 yards before crossing the B. U. goal line. Early in the third period, he slipped inside the Terriers' safety i man and gained their end.

zone in time to catch a 35-yard pass from Ray Stoviak. i Hold Invaders Even The highly touted visiting team, one of the nation's best 10, was expected to romp almost at will against Its minor college opposition, but it was held on even terms most of the way, and was outfought during the early stages, despite the fact that the Terriers never had a scoring chance. The Wildcat made eight first downs to six, and out-rushed the Bostonians 173 yards to 151. The 78 yards that came from overhead were a part of the advance made during the second scoring drive. The Victors completed only four of 12 passes, and had three 'intercepted just when they would have counted most.

A well-deserved break for Boston University speedily became a blessing In disguise for Villanova just before the visitors scored their first tallies. The Wildcats started a drive from B. 35, and were trying to pass from the 25, when Lou Blasty-nski intercepted and gave Ncchtem a chance to punt out of danger from his 15. He kicked out to his 40, but wae given another chance when Villanova was penalized for unnecessary roughness. When he tried again from the 30, John Melius and Wysocki swarmed into block.

Walker Stands Out Boston University's hard-charging line, backed up in sensational fashion by Johnny Walker, its 17R-pound center, chalked a Villanova drive on its two-yard line in th fourth period. Time cheated the visitors out of their other scoring chance late in the second period. With less than a minute left In the half, they made 70 yards on two plays, half of that distance being wiped out by Fullback Art Ralmo's end sweep and the rest by a pass from Andy Stopper to signal-calling Harvey Buck.

The Merchants and the East Rochester team battled to a 6-to-8 tie in their last -meeting and a hard fought battle is expected.

The town eleven has held the Oxfords and Vays to ties also and a victory for the Merchant! would put it high In the prestige of their followers. The Merchants will practice tonight and Sunday morning at Coleman Terrace field for this i teas. Th triumph rained the nw tiU-Ji lit from, third place in the loop undiniti to the top of the heap. ehPBd of defeated Irondequoit end East Rocheeter, whoee echedule 1 completed. Fairport' quartet of fleet, ahifty, hard-harfting back, playmg behind line which out-fought the Eayside forwards from the aecond period to the finish, were resonai-ble for the victory.

They ripped through the vistora' line at every point for 11 "firtt downs" to the lose eight, gaining 157 yards to T7 for Irondequoit. And they pushed over a touchdown and the point after in each of the last three periods to build up a decisive margin. Loaer Get Bad Break Irondequoit wa very much tn the ball game in the first half but on bad break, which cost It a touchdown after it had completed a brilliant forward-lateral pass, took all the starch out of the Bay-sides. Midway In the first period, Falr-noii. which had taken the kick-off and then punted, regained the ball! its own 40 and elected to pass.

Lawrence of Irondequoit intercepted and ran 20 yards. The Bay-siders rolled to a first down on the IS and then Horn fired a forward to Jordan in the flat. Magin trailed the play and. when tbe end was tackled, hustled up to grab a lateral and scoot over for touchdown. The play -was called back, however, as Horn had not been the required five yards behind the line of scrimmage when he toesed the first aerial.

Irondequoit' still had power but Us confidence was badly shaken and the Baysiders lost the ball on downs. SU1 playing safe, Fairport called on fjouis Maaciangelo to punt when It failed to gain through the line throughout the rest of tbe period. Following an exchange of punts in the second quarter, Irondequoit connected for a long pass and Its only score. Horn flipped a 15! yard toss to Magin on the Fair-port 30 and the speedy Baysider beat the homers' secondary over the last line. Webb, rushed in to kick the extra point, missed connection with his drop-kick.

Strike Swiftly to Score tTndismayed, Fairport struck awiftiy and ran over its own first touchdown in less than two minutes. After Dick Bluhm, whose plunging, twisting rues gave the winners much of their yardage, brought the kickoff to the 36. wiry Johnny Miller and Masciangelo carried it to the 4T. Then Masciangelo broke loose around bis own left flank, picked up a couple of blockers and was in the clear: With a surprising burst of speed, he eluded two of the Irondequoit secondary who might have nailed him and covered 53 yards to score. Johnny Miller, who kicked placements as well and as coneistently as be gained ground, carefully drove tbe ball between the uprights to give the Porters a one-point lead the half.

Irondequoit wa stunned by the winners' quick recovery and was sever quite itself when returned to the field. Behind Dave Jordan'! blocking. Miller. Masciangelo and Bluhm picked up plenty of ground. When they were stopped.

Masciangelo' long boots itill kept them In command.

The conversion again was good a Miller complacently hoisted the sowskin over the bar. Irondequoit's final bid, Its only real thrust of the second half, came at the start of the last heat. One of Masciangelo's few poor boots went out on the 36 and a pass play, Horn to Jordan to Magin, placed the Baysiders on the 10.

Fairport held for downs on its own two-yard bar, however, and Masciangelo's booming punt to midfield took the last spark out of Irondequoit. Milter Counts Again The Fairport opportunities again went to town after Bluhm intercepted on his own 35 and hustled to the 50. Miller Bluhm and Masciangelo then alternated to the six-inch line and a lateral, Bluhm to Jordan to Masciangelo, brought the third tally. Miller, again taking plenty of time, kept his record clean with a third perfect placement Ail the Fairport backs. Guards Bill Hart and E.

Valentine, and George Bluhm were outstanding. Palmer, the Bayside center, Siein- bacher, the Ross brothers and backs Lawrence and Magin kept the losers in the running.

The situation Is well in hand by the time the game gets under way. Hanging from trees and sitting on housetops are numerous hardy Fairportcr.

Trize seat of the day Is that a house-painter who takes a precarious perch atop his ladder and forgets all about his brush-wielding while the game Is In progress. The crowd is noisy, but reasonably decorous, for the most part A Fairport reverse early in the second qharter nets 20 yards and brings the crowd forward, with disastrous results to a section of fence directly in back of the Irondequoit bench. Tavern-Keeper Leonard (Punk) Rowe, founder of the Down back Bluhm, who turned in a masterful performance through the afternoon. Its all quiet in the Irondequoit dressing room. M.o back slapping, no excited shouts here.

The mournful note Is unbroken as the players shower, dress and file out. The only conversation is in undertones. Dramatic societies of the two schools are pleased, however. Irondequoit has Its senior play coming up next week, while there Is a minstrel show scheduled at Fairport None of the members of either team who will be doubling as actors have been Injured, so there Is assurance, at least, that the show uill go on. Crowd pictures in the second half arouse amusement along the sidelines, as one enterprising photographer climbs aboard another's shoulders to get a better shot.

Alabama, California Among Nation's Grid Leaders Likely to Be Victims of Upsets in Top College Tilts backers still believe it's the toughest in the league, despite defeat at Vanderbilt's hands. Moving into the zone of traditional rivalries, where anything can happen and usually does, it appears Cornell has a better chance to upset Dartmouth than Princeton has to surprise Yale or North Carolina figures to posess against Duke. Princeton was an 8 to 1 favorite over Yale only two years ago but you may recall what happenid. The Ells played the entire game without a single substitution, sprang a touchdown play with Larry Kellcy on the receiving end, and won going away by 7-0. Cornell, with an extra week of preparation and iU ace haKhack, George Peck, back in shapj, looms as the biggeet obstacle In Dartmouth's drive for an unbeaten season.

The powerful Cornell line, flanked by a fine pair of ends, may have the answer ts Dartmouth's deep reverses, though the Indians look to have too much backftcld speed for the Ilhacan to hold in check all afternoon. anxious to repeat but since Washington tie.1 California, coast critics see no reason why St Mary's hasn't at least a chance of upsetting Santa Clara. Speaking of California directs attention to the fact the Golden Bears cannot afford to under-estiinate Oregon on the tatter's home grounds. Of coume the Bears may prove much too ferocious on the rebound for the Oregon-ians to handle but who can say, In advance, whether they have or have not begun to feel that Rose Bowl pressure? If Alabama isn't likewise suffering from too much "rose fever," accompanying the strain of an unbeaten campaign thus far, tomorrow's showing may prove It. All the Tide has to do ia lick Georgia Tech, a team that knocked Vanderbilt out of the "Drat ten" and came close to mining Duke claims to national recognition.

Auburn, unpredictable thus far, will seed one of Its best days to outscore a team whose By ALAN GOIXD EW YORK-UP It requires no gT4t 'lft of imagination this week to note that the seats of the collegiate football mighty bear a striking resemblar.ee to so many powder kegs. The spots marked "x' are most conspicuous in the "deep'' South and the "near" East.
