BY EDDIE BRIETZ, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 12.— Duke and North Carolina meet this week in the big game of the season for both teams, and the winner may depend on what Mr. R. K. Courtney of Lenoir, N. C., decides to do about it. Courtney is a self-styled one- man jinx of Duke foot ball teams . .. he has followed them around the country for years, but has never seen one win . . . so sure-fire is his hoodoo over the Blue Devils that Lenoir bettors, when placing ‘wagers on Duke, often have per- suaded Courtney to stay at home CHICAGO. November 12.—If late at that part of the record book dealing with Gopher battles with Michigan, it is not likely they will be overconfident when they meet the Wolverines Saturday. On their records this season. Min- nesota should win. The Gophers have disposed of six straight oppo- nents, enough of them tough for thorough testing purposes. The Wol- verines have won four out of six, but looked like anything bu¢ a powerful eleven in losing to Illinois' crippled team last Saturday. ‘The book shows, however, that Min- ! nesota never has been able to conquer Michigan two year: in a row.

Last year Minnesota defeated Michigan 34 to 0 Just in case the Gophers might suffer a touch of overconfidence, As- sistant Coach Sig Harris, who scouted the rain -ridden Michigan - Illinois game, told them that the Wolverine offense was upset by the weather. Michigan and Minnesota came out of their recent tests in good condition physically, but five other teams were not so fortunate.

Good results were obtained in this way, and it will continue, with hints of more changes in the line-up to be tried against Columbia.

BY GRANTLAND RICE. HIS foot ball season not only will be a record-breaker in | total attendance, but it is sure } to be a double record-breaker | in the way of impassioned argument | and debate. I ran into Maj. Bob Neyland. Ten- nessee star coach for 10 years, sta- tioned in the Canal Zone at present,} and now in New York on leave. The | major, one of the ablest coaches in the history of the game, with an al- most incredible 10-year record at Ten- nessee, so far this season has seen | Southern Methodist, Rice, L. S. U, | Ohio State, Notre Dame, Princeton | and Harvard. He also is close to the | North Carolina situation, so this | seemed to be a good spot to keep a | few of the more heated arguments under way. | I asked him to name the best team | he'd seen this Fall. “One game can't tell the entire story,” he said. “On the day I saw them play, Southern Methodist came closer to being the top where both | offense and defense are considered. They have a powerful defensive team | —the smothering type—one of the best running backs of many years in Wilson, and one of the best all-around backs in Shuford, the 195-pound full- back. “Ohio State had a great-looking squad, but not as compact a machine as Southern Methodist. On the day I saw them play, Rice, with Wallace and McCauley, couldn't even get started.” “What about North Carolina,” “Don't make any mistake about this tea the major said. “It can match any back- field in America. “There is Don Jackson, tail back, a star on the triple-threat side; Sny- der, the blocking quarter; Hutchins at fullback; Montgomery, wing back; Dashiel, another. All high class. In addition, there are Buck, Bershack and McCarn at ends—plus a line of power. In my opinion, Snavely is one of the best of the coaches, and this combination means a foot ball team. “Princeton? Extremely good—but Harvard opposition too thin to really judge.” The Best Foot Ball Player. ASKED Maj. Neyland to name the best foot ball player he'd ever seen and his foot ball career goes back into early Army-Notre Dame days. “My pick is Dixie Howell of Ala- bama,” Neyland said. “Why? Be- cause he has more ways to beat you than any back I ever saw. A brilliant passer—a great kicker—a dangerous ball carrier—and one of the best de- fensive backs you'll ever see. I don't think I ever saw him miss a tackle. “Even in the toughest spots ‘ Howell always was colder than ice ~—with hawk eyes that missed nothing. “If Howell couldn't beat you one way, he'd always find another. I had my share of leading backs—Bobby Dodd, McEver, Beattie Feathers, Hackman, Vaughan, etc—But I've Marquette and Syracuse. "‘VHAT about Marquet; or “what about Syracuse?” seems to be one of the main topics for alert letter writers. There doesn't seem to be anything the matter with Marquette and Syra- cuse, as far as rival teams can locate any loose spots. Marquette has able backs in Buivid and Guepe, while Syracuse has a runaway entry in Vannie Albanese. On Saturday, Marquette has to meet Temple as Syracuse moves against Colgate. Here are two toss-ups. with strength on all four fronts. Which means that we can get a better line on Marquette and Syracuse by Satur- day night. Whatever happens then, both have had big years. It's Col- gate, however, that Syracuse wants— with both Vic Hanson and Andy Kerr saying the other team ought to win. Speaking of the Rose Bowl. IT MIGHT interest a number of long-distance telephoners, tele- gram senders and letter writers that our connection with the Rose Bowl selection is less than one of the thorns on one of the roses that will make up the parade. So far, supporters for Southern Methodist, North Carolina, Syracuse and Marquette—with Dartmouth waiting for the Tiger aftermath, but still in the background—have bom- barded this department about the Rose Bowl choice. In the first place, Southern Metho- dist has U. C. L. A. and T. C. U, practically an entire alphabet, ahead —with a feeling expressed by Far Western writers that Texas is too close to the Pacific Coast. We can see no reason why a Southwest team shouldn’t be named if it qualifies. North Carolina has an aroused Duke team on hand this week, while both Syracuse and Marquette have a double armful to face in Colgate and Temple. Notre Dame isn't out yet— and there’s a tip around that Notre Dame still may slip back into the running. What about the West Coast? Cali- fornia now is far in the lead, but suppose Stanford bowls over the golden bear of Berkeley? So far the Cardinal attack has been weak. It has scored only one lone touchdown against U. C. L. A, Washington and Southern California, while against the same three teams, California has planted seven touchdowns. Moscrip’s field goals have been Stanford’s main scoring attack. Stan- ford will have to beat California de- cisively to get the call again. Also, there is little question that the Rose Bowl selectors would like to have Princeton or Minnesota, pro- vided they carry on, if either could be dislodged from their anti-post season anchors. As long as these anchors are planted by college presi- dents or faculty agreements, there doesn't seem to be much chance. In the meanwhile, even with one of the weaker conference teams, Ber- wanger of Chicago still is under full steam.

Hall. trailing 40 to 42, thought he had made point No. 41, but the referee, Charley McElligot of Chicago, called it a “miss.” Scorer Takes Command. HE instant the ruling was made Cochran jumped out of his chair shouting ““He missed it a mile.” Hall, protesting vigorously, assumed a fight- ing attitude, as if he were going to I=t go with his left at the referee and swing at Cochran with his right.

These two assisted Martin and the medical staff of the technical high schools to select the all-star squad. Martin has stressed the fact that the boys have shown good natural foot ball instincts and. with the aid of the hard training they have to take in the shops of the technical schools, they are tough and muscular, in spite of the fact their almost con- stant diet of beans hampers their speed.
