It will be the Buckeyes, very probably by. a decisive margin. Tomorrow night there axe two engagements that mean much to the schools Temple entertains Mississippi in Philadelphia. Duquesne plays host to Rice in Pittsburgh. Under the circumstances, I rather favor Temple over Ole Miss, but the Quaker City Owls had best keep a close check on an excellent back named Ray Ha pes.

Clipper Smith has his team up for Rice and Duquesne has a good chance to win. Chicago will find the aerial circus put on. by Vanderbilt at the Midway a little too much. Chicago doesn't have Jay Berwanger this falL Detroit journeys to "Villanova. Clipper Smith is making his bow at Villanova with a veteran team.

The chances are he will be able to meniiuu i ii u-i merable battles; of experience, might be given the edge here. It will be close, also, at Michigan, but it's Michigan State's big game and I'll pick them. Nebraska ought to set out to claim another title in the Big Six by beating Iowa "State. The closest game on the Coast will see California shading Mary's. The Bears will know they were in a football game.

Washington State draws Stanford at Pullman. Because they're home, Special to The Pittsburgh Press SYRACUSE, Oct. 1 Rain, which has the entire New York state in its grip, made such a quagmire of the field here last night that it necessitated the postponing until of more or less sectional Notre Dame and Carnegie Tech launch the campaign aU this evening of the debut of the Pittsburgh Amerks, of the American Professional Football League, against South Bend in a r. t. t.

Ex-Runner Dies Frank Grover, former North Side long distance runner, died at his home, 1213 Belasco Beechview, last night after a long send the Titans back home without a victory. It would be a good start for him in his new job.

Oklahoma's- Sooners, possibly -the surprise team of the Big Six, ought to win from Colorado much as they please. Auburn, Tennessee Favored In the. South the two leading sectional battles bring together Auburn and Tulane, and Tennessee and North Carolina.

Lowell Dawson, making his debut as head coach at Tulane, is going to find Auburn a little more than his Green Wave can handle. North Carolina again is strong, but will be minus three fine Jjacks, and also meeting a Ney-land-coached Tennessee team, I like the Volunteers. Duke should find South Carolina vastly improved, but not quite enough to keep Wallace Wade's team in check. Texas Christian, with Sammy Baugh doing the firing, is the choice against Arkansas. Yale and Cornell provide the most important game in the East.

Cornell, with its sophomore team under Carl Snavely, is going to be improved, but the Bulldog has too much experience and should win a close game. Pennsylvania's veteran backfield gives it an edge over a sophomore eleven at where Ernie Nevers is making his start. West Virginia comes to Pittsburgh, and we expect the usual game with the- Mountaineers. Trusty Tallman's outfit battles every inch of the way and, should his passing attack click, is likely to cause us several headaches. We should prevail by a comfortable margin, however." Harry Stuhldreher at Wisconsin could wish for an easier foe than Marquette as he tries to get the Badgers moving.

Marquette, because shape for their first test. Yesterday came the rain and as it continued unceasingly the local management called it off, hoping that conditions tonight will permit staging it. Patrons Lose Out For Pres ident To See Series Not bad, eh, for my first season as an umpire? I I A. The Amerks were quite confident they would get away to a flying start as the local team has been beaten in its only two starts and hasn't been able to get going. Comstock had 20 men with him and stated that he probably would give every one of them a chance tonight to determine the future, make-up of the team.

Irish at home. Mr. Sutherland This fact alone gives them somewhat of an edge, for the contest is being played on their campus. Notre Dame will have to watch Carnegie Tech, however. Wally Steffen and Howard Harpster have one of the biggest lines in the land.

Behind this will be large sophomore backs of great promise. Notre Dame again' has a wealth of manpower. The line is experienced. While Elmer Layden may miss kicking and passing strength of 1935, he will field a fine team. I pick Notre Dame to win by a slight margin.

Plenty will happen when Iowa invades Eyanston to once more have it out with Northwestern. The superiority of the Northwestern line might be counted upon to hold Iowa in check. It figures to be a titanic' tussle, which may Tartans 'Pepped Up' For Irish Meeting Fighting Spirit Rampant as Plaid Gets Ready to Depart For South Bend Carnelly and Lee Gain Starting Places Last Night's Besults ou ana planned another drill here today. The Owls and the Dukes tomorrow night will be a couple of top-notch football teams seeking redemption, in a way. The Owls took a trimming last Saturday from Louisiana State.

The Dukes won a game from Waynesburg, but looked none too good in doing so. Both obviously, have power houses which, as yet have not turned on steam. The Dukes want to reverse the score of last year's game almost as much as they want to trounce Pitt a week from Saturday.

Both have been injured in workouts this week and haven't recuperated.

Of course, Coach Howard Harpster isn't taking these stories very strongly, knowing the wily Layden and his "bear" stories.
