• Where was Mike, the Tiger?
• LSU—no honor in defeat.
• Two fights—Frosh vs. Frosh and excitement at game's
end.
Poetic Prognostications
(Battling 17 out of 23 for .739)
Last week's Texas-Temple clash was cancelled a few weeks
ago to enable Texas to schedule LSU in December.
Rice over Pittsburg (by 2 td's.)
SMU over Oklahoma A&M (The Oklahoma Aggies have
caused us much sorrow. Please win, SMU.)
Texas over Oklahoma (Texas No. 1 team in USA—at least
to us)
TCU over Texas Tech (by 2 td's)
A&M over VMI (by 4 td's the Aggies know how to win
now)
Arkansas over Baylor (a toss up—Fayettevile mealns the
difference.)
Elsewhere
Army over Michigan, Stanford over Santa Clara, Cornell
over Harvard, LSU over Georgia Tech, Ohio State over
Indiana, Notre Dai$e over Tulane.
Notable
Last week I sat next to JimCorbett in the pressbox. Mr.
Corbett is Publicity Director of LSU. A nice guy, who prob-
ably smoked more of my ciragetts than I did, Corbet had this
to say when I asked him how Rice compared with Kentucky
who beat LSU 14-0 three weeks ago, and is now fifth in the
nation. "They look about even to me, and the strange thing is
they both have the same school colors and uniform colors."
Incidentally, he felt LSU was great in defeat and the Owls are
a darn good team.

Chesterfield Contest
You have a good chance to be one of the four winners of a carton
of Chesterfields! Just put down on the ballot below what you think this
Saturday's football scores will be, tear out the ballot, and insert it in
the box in the lounge outside the Thresher office by noon Saturday. The
four people that have the more nearly correct scors will be notified by
postcard where to pick up the free Chesterfields. Those are the rules
and here are this week's games.
