Anyway, there 11 be plenty of fireworks this week -end and your eorrespond-ent is quite confident that the 1929 stories will be a little different from the upsets and disasters of last week. Probably no one day in football history was so cluttered with close cores as was the case last year when the corresponding games of 1929 were played In 1928.

This condition was especially true in the East when Columbus and Cornell played scoreless tie. and other deadlocks were turned in by Lafayette and Washington-Jefferson; Bucknel and Temple and Penn State and Syracuse. When four games of this caliber end in tie scores during a single afternoon Old Man Dope- tolls over without being pushed. Purdue and Wisconsin played a 19-19 tie last year and they are bUV for action Saturday. Southern California and California failed to score i in their 1928 game and this tilt will headline the Coast card tomorrow.

North Carolina and N. C. State battled to a 6-6 tie last year, but It looks too bad for the Wolfpack tomorrow. There was not a ene -sided victory seared In the Mtstanding contests last year and it looks as If the dopesters face tough ones this week, Man Dope Shaky This Time The cannonading begins at Columbus this afternoon when Georgia meets Tulane, hoping, of course, to renew a winning streak that was (napped by Florida last week. The Bulldogs outpointed the Greenies, 20 to 14, last season, but we figure the score will be reversed today.

A touchdown margin for Tulane is the forecast Alabama, beaten once this year, will afford Vandy an excellent oppor-, tunlty to make a real bid for conference honors. It all depends on 'Bama's backfield; that is, it looks like a Tide triumph by a touchdown if Hicks, Holm, Campbell, Suther and McRight are right Our prognostication in cold type is 'Bama 13, Vandy 7. Notre Dame is twenty points better than Tech, but we look for a Hoosler verdict at 20 to 7 figures. Tennessee meets Auburn. So, mister, name your points.

Virginia should beat Maryland ty a touchdown mar-, gin. Other conference games are doped as follows: North Carolina 33, N. C. State V. P.

7, Washingtbn-Lee KentiScky 13, Clemson Mississippi 6, Sewanee 0,. Up East there'll be lots of fun and Dartmouth's crushing ride over i Harvard indicates a defeat for Yale, despite Booth's ability to ride the Army mule last week. Dartmouth 20, Yale 7. Florida will give Harvard a fit if the 'Gators get over their first-half fright in the vast Cambridge -r amphitheater. We favor Florida at 13 to 7.

Princeton and Chicago will be a toss up Give it to Princeton, 13 to 0. Navy, a perennial thorn in Penn's side, will whip the Quakers despite the splendid Penn line. This one looks good at 14 to 7. virtually the same margin scored by California over the Ben Franklins. Penn State and Syracuse present a problem, but it's time for a State decision over a worthy foe.

It looks fair at 13 to 7. South Dakota invades West Point and is doped to lose to the Cadets by 27 to 6. Ohio State is expected to bow to the Pitt Pe.uther by about 20 to ,7. Minnesota, Illinois and Purdue are selected to turn back their respec- tlve rivals Indiana, Northwestern and Wisconsin in the Big Ten Con- ference. Further West our favorites are S.

California over California at 14 to Stanford over California Tech 27 to Nebraska over Kansas, 20 to Missouri over Kansas Aggies, 20 0, and Iowa State over Oklahoma.
