Prophet Makes Predictions For Week-End Wartime Qrid Qames
inlay, wk
st: Vlllanov* and the
and North Carolina Pre-
against the Navy,
the middle-west the big
will be Purdue against
Ultoppers of Marquette in
on Saturday night,
r one to keep an eye on
Camp Grant against Wis-
In the South, Duke and Rich-
mond; and North Carolina ami
Georgia Tech.
The Southwest,. Tulsa and
Southern Methodist.
.And on the West Coast, Sou-
thern California and UCLA.
.First let's talk about the big
games:
Villanova is keyed up to de-
fend against Army's new "T"
formation. And' thereby hangs
another important tale. Anyone
who can tell head from tail of
the famed "T" formation will
advise you wisely that it takes
more than a couple of minutes
to master it. Particularly by a
bunch of boys who hadn't even
been introduced a couple of
\ eeks ago.
That's against the Army, we
think. And even though we may
be ripping the dope-sheet to pie-
ces, we'll take Villanova — by a
nose.
The Navy figures to field one
of the best teams on the eastern
gridirons. Thirteen of the veter-
ans who helped to upset the Ar-
my 14 to 0 are back in harness,
rarin' to get at some more
upsets. Such holdovers as
flume. Martin, and Hamburg —
names that caught the headlines
last year. These boys form the
nucleus of the Midshipmen's tou-
chdown machine, which is oil-
ed and ready to take off down
the field.
Navy's opponent, the North
Carolina Pre-Fllghts, has a big
outfit—number*. Lt. Frank Rim-
Lt. Com. Jim Crowley left off
brough is taking over where
last season, but he's not as
lucky as Jim was. His boys lack
nothing as much as experience.
80 the nod must go to the navy.
Anchors aweigh.
Purdue and Marquette —that's
a tough one to pifck, and Satur-
day eve we may be sitting out
there on the far end of the limb,
sawing away.
But let the limbs ana cracked
heads fall where they may, and
pick us a soft spot to land. Pur-
due is flush from a 12 to 13
victory over Great Lakes, some-
thing that astounded the ex-
perts in the East but didn't
much surprise anyone in the
midlands. The star of the game
was Alex Agase, who was an ail-
American guard at Illinois. Mar-
quette's Hilltoppers are flushing
a little from victory themselv-
es. They hopped on their old
fivals at Wisconsin last week
and licked them roundly, 33 to
7. The Purdue Boilermakers are
primed to stop Johnny Rudan,
who made two touchdowns
against Wisconsin. But we don't
think Purdue has the stuff to
stop Johnny. Agase; can't do it
alone. Don't say "ouch." Say it'll
be Marquette by a slim margin.
Moving over to Camp Grant
and Wisconsin. The boys from
the Cantp at the moment artf
batting .500. They gave Illinois
a stinging two weeks ago, 23 to,
0, and then turned around last
Saturday and bowed before
powerful Michigan, 2G to 0. Wis-
consin frankly hasn't very mucn.
The Badger fieldhouse has be-
come a checking out station for
stars since last year and Coach
Harry Stuhldreher has only one
lettermen back, Len Calligaro,
the quarterback. And it is small
comfort to Harry to look around
the country and see his stars
playing for just about everybody
else. It'll be Camp Grant, say we.
Duke got off to a flying start
last week by whacking Camp
Lejeune 40 to 0. The Duke
squad is jam-packed with Na\iy
talent, and the team is built
around Bob Gantt, all conference
end of last season. Enough pow-
er to take Richmond.
Neither North Carolina nor
Georgia Tech have been tested
so we'll have to juggle a lot of
question marks.
The Tar-Heels of North Caroli-
na are built around Captain Cra-
ven Turner, the blocking half-
back, and five other veterans.
These include a couple of fancy
steppers in Billy Myers, the
tailback, and Clay Croom, wing-
back.
Georgia Tech is loaded from
#
hind-most to fore-most, lit fact,
Coach Bill Alexander nas his
strongest outfit since his Rosq
Bowl last year. His team is built
around Don Malmbberg, quarter-
back.
Southern California's Trojans
are rated pre-seasonally as the
standouts of the southern section
of the coast league. There are
seven returning veterans. And
Coach Jeff Cravath's line aver-
ages 209 pounds. And his back-
field is about the best around
those Pacific acres — Mickey
McCardle, Howard Callahan,
Jim Hardy, and Bill Pattee.
Take it away, Southern Calif-
ornia. And maybe even by a fat
margin.
Now let's break down our foot-
ball picture by sections and see
what gives:
First, in the East:
Bucknell's Bisons tackle Penn
State. Penn State has a barrel
of untapped power, but the coa-
ches are sleeping fitfully because
about half of the stars to be are
having a little trouble in class-
room. Bucknell hasn't licked
Penn State since 1939. But the
Bisons have ten veterans back,
and although they lost seven to
six to Cornell last week we
pick 'em against Penn State.
. Notre Dames goes east to meet
Pittsburgh. Coach Frank Leahy,
of the Irish, is banging his
head against the wailing wall'
every few minutes. He says he
expfects Ndtre Dame to lose five
games. The late Knute Rockne
used to talk that way, too, anrl
remember some of his teams.
The Irish are a power in the
middle east. And Pittsburgh is
one of the games Notre Dame
won't «irop.
Yale meets the Coast Guar!
Academy team from New Lon-
don, Connecticut. Yale's old Eli
will lean on Captain Tim Hoop-
es, who starred last week as
Yale lost a heart - breaker to
Rochester. The coast guard
will lean on its 25 to 6 victory
over Bates, which won't be
enough. Give it to Yale.
Princetbn and Pennsylvania.
Penn is the dark-horse of the
dimmed-out Eastern seaboard.
The return of its "two lost ends"
who went into the Navy ana
were re-assigned to the home
carrtpus should be a great fact-
or. The wingmen are Herb
Nelson and Frank_ Quillen, who
each tower over 6* feet 3 above
sole level. Princeton has only
three vets. Aqd that tips us to
the Penn side of the fence.
Dartmouth, a power in the
east although untested, has the
largest Naval and Marine "contin-
gents in the country. Backs ga-
lore from Fordham, Manhattan,
Villanova and Boston College.
Dartmouth tangles with HOly
Cross, and should have little dif-
ficulty.
And a few quickies in the
East, and please don't ask any
questions: Bates over Worcester
Tech; Rochester over Colgate;
Cornell over Sampson Naval,
and Muhlenberg over Lakehurst
Naval.
The midwest:
Northwestern and Indiana.
The Wildcats of Northwestern
are as wild as a wildcat is sup-
posed to be. The toast of the
Big Ten, next to Michigan.
Sixteen lettermen back. Indiana
isn't in it this week.
Th^ Iowa Pre-Flight Sea-
hawks are stacked with brilliant
talent to meet Ohio State. Coach
Paul Brown, of Ohio, says that
he's using men who couldn't
make their high school teams in
normal tmes. The Seahawks
have Frank Maznicki, a former
member of the pro Chicago
Bears. Enough said, and give it
to the Iowa Pre-Flighters.
The University of Iowa, with-
out benefit of Navy help, tack-
les Great Lakes, which' already
has downed Fort Riley and lost
to Purdue. Slip Madigan hasn't
much in the Iowa Havvkeyes,
and Great Lakes has what it
needs to take them.
Michigan, the power in the
midwest, plays Western Michi-
gan. But it's just a warmup for
Northwestern, Notre Dame and
Minnesota later on. We don't
have to guess on this one. The
Wolverines of Michigan.
Minnesota plays Missouri,
which last year was champion
of the Big Six.. But Missouri
hasn't much to present this <
year—Minnesota is long on ma-
terial but shy ort experience. But
with Bill_Garnaus and Red Wll-
1 lams'" irTthe* backfield_the~Min-
nesota Gophers should triumph.,
And now for a few quick picks
up and down the Midlands, and
don't be too critical. Ohio Wes-
leyan over Wooster, Miami of
Ohio over Bethany, Depauw, ov-
er Oberlin, Illinois Wesleyan ov-,
er Wabash, Fort Riley over Low-
ly P'ield, Iowa State Teachers
over South Dakota, and Kansas
over Washburn.
The Southwest:
Oklahoma opens its season
against Norman Naval. Coach
Dewey Luster has an ample sup-
ply of naval talent, except that

Roscoe's" Plowboys will play
the Colorado City Wolves, form-
er 3AA athletes, in what should

and W. O. King, manager of
the Abilene field office, that

school hours and on Saturdays in
employment covered under the
Social Security Act, should have
social security account numbers.
Unless each person who works
in covered employment under
the Social Security Act gives his
social security number of his em- j
ployer, he may not receive credit j
for his wages on old-age and J
survivors insurance account, the
| manager said.

surance.
MUSTANGS IN FINAL GRID
PRACTICE FOR BR0WNW00D
Tonight in the Bowl, the Mus-
tangs will get instructions and
go through a final practice ses-
sion on the eve of their game
with Brownwood's roaring Lions.
There's a little ominous pessi-
mism coming out of Brown wood
that indicates heavy practices
are the order of the day there
in an effort to upset the "touted
Mustangs." Coach McAdoo Kea-
ton has had 55 Lions out "for
practice, and despite bear stor-
ies, is expected to put a good
team onto the field before the
hometown crowd, bulwarked by
soldiers from Bowie.
The Lions were to work out
under the lights at their stpdlum
Wednesday night, and were to
follow that up with stiff practice
! Thursday and a tapering off
! Friday.
! It is believed to. be the best
i team Prownwood has had in
j years, but the coach is working
I the men hard nevertheless. The
Mustangs haven't been exactly
touted as the Brownwood writ-
er stated: but they have hopes.

There won't be anything that
looks like a championship or
even first division hopors for
the Sweetwater Mustangs, un-
less there is great improvement
in the blocking.

That statement comes from an

It Was Dismuke
Who Scored Two

jAt last the moot questibn
tp just who scored that 2-poifit
safety against Roscoe has been
solved.
Kenneth Dismune. erwi, is
individual who got through tnfe
Roscoe forwards and made the
tackle behind the line last week
to net the brace of points. 1
In the heat of battle the name
of the tackier was omitted, and h
took a huddle of the players to
unearth the fact that modest
Dismuke goes into the record
books—credited With scoring 2
points for the House of New-
man.
Interest in the affair was not
confined to Sweetwater. Jada
Davis, Odessa sports writer and
editor, sent a wire to ascertain
the point winner of;that occa-
sion—just to keep the books
straight.
Now Jada knows that Kenneth
will have to be considered by
the Bronchos as a possible scor-
er, on the big day, Oct. 11, when
