But he stuck to his guns like a man. Souchak, although a sophomore, has made a brilliant start and seems well on the way to becoming a flanker of national reputation.

A week ago.

Yale defeated Pennsylvania, 31 to 20, with a flurry of passes in the second half that scored 19 points. Yet the most rabid adherent of the Blue, if taken off into a comer and compelled to be frank, hardly would say that his tearr. was that much stronger than the hardbitten Quakers. Miracles Do Happen IN Lincoln, there was a battle of another sort, Minnesota and Nebraska enter the second half with the former leading by 12 to 7. A sudden turn of fortune gives the ball to the Huskers on the two-yard line.

It is first down and by all the tenets of football nothing can deprive the driving Nebraskans of the touchdown which will put them out front, perhaps make the victory certain. What happens? There is a fumble. The rhythm of the attack is lost and before Nebraska can pick it up again, the ball i has been turned over to the Gophers. Re-play the game to-J morrow and there might be an-i other story. So it may be here on the row.

There are complications to upset those who prefer to follow form and all that goes with it. There always are, it seems. Against Notre Dame's scarcity of tackles must be reckoned the iearth of ends at Pitt, and the injury which may keep Frank Souchak on the sidelines or force him out early if he starts. Irish Center Weaker IN Millner and Peters, the Irish have a grand pair of flankers, but the weakness of each is toward the inside and there two 6trong tackles would help no end. The center of Notre Dame's line deosn't look as rugged or resourceful as Pitt's mid-section.

But the Ramblers have more and better backs than the Pan-' thers, and to know what that means you must realise that Dr. i Sutherland has never coached a mere dangerous collection of ball-carriers, kickers and pass-ers- The Irish are none too sure at defending themselves against passes, especially when Don Elser is or. the field. These are the tangibles. In the last three seasons, Notre 52.e has not scored on Pitt; last Jail the Irish had trouble in so much as escaping from their own tide of the field, and this psychological edge will first have to be conquered by the Irish before they can hope to beat down the Panthers themselves.

More than any other game, football is swayed by the intangibles, and it cannot be doubted that the memory of what Pitt has done in recent seasons will weigh on the minds of the defenders of the home fortress. So if there is to be a favorite It should be Pitt, although by so little that it is hardly worth fretting over. Let's Choose Owls ELSEWHERE?
