Georgia Tech, still sixth in the rankings with one first place vote, bounces from one tough game into another. Barely escaping with a 16-14 edge over Navy, the Engineers clash with onrushing Alabama in a key game in the South. Texas regained some of its pre-SMU luster by downing Baylor, 28-7.

advancing to seventh, with a good Texas Christian team next on the list. Penn State, now eighth despite three first place votes, is scheduled for a Saturday date at Baltimore with Navy which has been aptly de scribed as "the best losing club in the country."

Crowding close behind the vid5S the last test for tne nint Beat Gardner's, 48-43 The Harlem Globe Trotters, clever negro professional basketballers thoroughly entertained a crowd of nearly 1,000 spectators last night at the Benton Harbor Naval Armory with their unlimited supply of fancy fakes, shots and passes, and a touch of fine comedy, but when the final whistle tooted the barn-storming pros found that there had Before Preparing For Final Game No Serious Injuries Incurred In Battle At Holland Saturday Benton Harbor High Schoool's Tigers wera given a day of grace Monday when Coach Joe Rogers excused all players from practice.

Inclement weather was partly responsible for his action, but it is believed that Rogers' gridders are in dire need of a break in the dally routine bgcause of the always lurking danger that they might go stale." It happens to the best of teams and no one realizes that fact more than Rteers and his able staff of assistants. No serious Injuries were received by the locals in last Saturday's game with Holland, although Jim Means incurred a slight shoulder hurt. It is Lelieved, however, that he will be ready to play next Friday night when the Tigers meet Grand Rapids South on the local gridiron. As a whole, the team will be In excellent condition, both physically and mentally. Coach Rogers reported that his boys are very much upset over the outcome of the tussle with the Hollanders and are determined to end the season on Friday in a "blaze of glory." Whipped Central Their opponent, Grand Rapids South, is riding on the crest of a very impressive string of victories, one of their victims being the strong Kalamazoo Central team.

Ronnie Gow, one of the finest guards to don a Tiger uniform in many years, came in for a large share of Rogers' praise due to his spectacular showing in Saturday night's game. It was Gow who, time after time, dumped Holland backs when it looked as though they were "off to the races." i Many Reserves In sizing up the strength of the Grand Rapids team, Rogers reported that one of their most formidable points lies In its reserve power. Adding to this the fact that Benton Harbor has had to rely almost entirely upon a 15-man squad in the tough games, one can envision Friday's encounter as being one of the hardest games of the year for the locals.

BADGER POWER BEING STUDIED Wisconsin, Wolves Bear Resemblance ANN ARBOR. Nov. 11-(AP) -Fritz Crisler. might have been talking about his own undefeated University of Michigan Wolverines but Tie wasn't. He was analyzing the strength of the Badgers of the University of Wisconsin, next Saturday's opponent and last major threat to Michigan's Rose "Bowl hopes and the Western Conference championship.

A sellout crowd of 45.000 fans will. If the Michigan coach's estimate is correct, note a striking similarity between the two teams when the Crisler-men invade Madison, Wis. First of all, Crisler said at a press conference yesterday, after consulting scouting reports on Badger contests against Northwestern. Marquette and Iowa, "Wisconsin is faster than any team we've met this year," (Wisconsin undoubtedly faces the same prospect in the Wolverines). Might "Explode" "Wisconsin is a team that can explode on you," said the Michigan coach whose fancy-prancers have exploded on four conference and three intersectional opponents for 284 points.

Crisler whose passing attack, directed chiefly by deadeye Bob Chap-puis, has netted four touchdowns in the last three games, expressed concern over Wisconsin's aerial game, spearheaded by Earl (Jug) Qlrard, that haa clicked for five touchdowns in the last three contest. "Wisconsin Is two or three deep to fine, fast backs." The Michigan pilot declared. "There's Girard, Clarence Self, Wally Dreyer, Gene Evans, Jack Wink, Lyle Blackburn," It would indeed be a huge club if. It had any more fine backs than Michigan has in such artists as Chappuls, Jack Weisenburger, Chalmers (Bump) Elliott, Henry Fonde, Dick Derricotte, etc. And then, Crisler, who just recently stated his own Wolverines have "improved with every said just that about the Badger outfit.

The Indications certainly point to battle of the year when the two teams meet Saturday, but it is just ta certain lhat the similarity will end on the scoreboard.

That's the schedule here Friday night when three city high schools tangle for the Portland grid title. Officials have agreed to a squirrel-cage tie-breaking playoff that goes around and around for six quarters like this: Team 1 plays one quarter against Team Then Team 2 meets Team next, Team 3 clashes with Team 1.

And then they do it all over again each squad playing two quarters against different opponents. If the scoring hasn't settled the championship, officials will count up first downs and yardage and ward, the title, 1 been another hardwood combina tion on the floor. The local Gardner's quintet played the colored stars "down to the wire" before losing out J8-43 in a magificent court exhibition that opened the local cage season.
