the schools.

Fitzgerald's
The only bright spot in predic-
tions last week was the fact that
the Cowboys' were good to us. As
for the rest we picked only 11
correct out of 16. It turned out
to be our worst week since the
season started five weeks ago.
Our percentage was a meger .688.
Thus our seasonal average slip-
ped to .739. Our record for the
year is now 48 on the nose with
17 down the drain. But enough
crying now; so let's go for Sat-
urday Oct. 20.
H-SU will make it four in a
row by tropping the Houston
Cougars 27-14. The Pokes are
really rounding into shape now
and the Houstonmen will be the
victims.
ACC should top the McMurry
Indians this week in their tradi-
tional inter-city game. The
Wildcats have more than the
Tribe who can't get started this
season.
VILLANOVA will upset Ken-
tucky this week end in the Blue
Grass state 20-19. We're calling
on the Pennsylvania lads for our
"upset of the week."
HOLY CROSS over New York
University in an Eastern tilt
35-7. Coach Eddie Anderson and
the Crusaders have a much bet-
ter team than the Violets.
NOTRE DAME should gain a
sound victory over Pittsburg.
The Fighting Irish will bounce
back after last week's loss to
SMU winning 35-13.
DUKE has a bigger team than
Virginia Tech and should win the
game in a walk away 33-6.
TEXAS will win easily over
the Arkansas Razorbacks who
will find rough going with the
Longhorns. Final: 27-7.
OKLAHOMA after last week's
loss to Texas will retaliate and
take out their vengeance out on
Kansas winding upon the long
end of a 33-14 score.
CALIFORNIA will down South-
ern California. We flipped a
fifty-cent piece and it came out
for the Golden Bears. We say it'll
be 7-6.
TENNESSEE should knock off
Alabama down south this Satur-
day 21-14. It'll be a .good ball
game.
TEXAS A&M will play around
with TCU but the Horned Frocs.
on the basis of their loss to Tech
won't nave a chance in the 27-13
game.

Ranchers Crush
Sun Devils 39-14
The Hardin-Simmons Cowboys
gained their third win of the sea-
son last Saturday night -behind
the expert running of Dunny
Goode crushing the Tempe State
Devils 39-14 before 15000 fans
at Goodwin Stadium in Tempe
Goode le4 the Pokes to a sur-
prising easy victory in their first
Border Conference opener keep-
ing their history-long- mastery
over the Sun Devils intact.
Since 1938 Hardin-Simmons
has never bowed to the Tempe
eleven in an 11-game series.
In The Hole
Tempe scored the second time
they had their hands on the ball
putting the Cowpunchers in the
hole from the start.
But Goode who racked up a
total of 238 yards and tallied
three six-pointers proved too
strong for the husky Devils to
handle.
Late in the third quarter Full-
back BiU Davis plunged over to
put the Hardin-Simmons squad
in front 19-14. From then on it
was all H-SU. Boggus converted
to make the score 20-14.
Negro halfback Jim Bilton
fumbled and D. C. Andrews Poke
end got the ball on the Tempe
12. .
Favorites
ting LSU looks good to use beat-
ing Auburn 20-12.
BAYLOR and Texas. Tech will
play but we don't think the Red
Raiders will pull around surprise.
Final: 26-13.
NAVY will down Northwestern.
The Middies wil come back af-
ter their loss to Rice taking the
honors 14-7.
OHIO STATE should bang out
a 20-7 win over Indiana.
ARMY gets our nod over Har-
vard this week. Think the Cadets
will gain their first win of the
season 20-13.
SMU should have plenty left
for Rice after their upset over
Notre Dame. Final: 33-13.
MICHIGAN STATE should
over-haul Penn State in a close
one 21-19.
