Other inter-sectional games are Georgia-Texas A. & M. at Dallas, LSU - Boston College at Baton Texas State at Starkville and Tu- lane-Michigan at Ann Arbor. The first two will be night games.

ALABAMA over Vanderbilt: Red Drew’s crew has the talent and Bill Krietemeyer may stand e other off airwise, but the Tide better equipped with runners. GEORGIA TECH over SMU: away scoring chances in wholesale lots two weeks in a row. SMU is untested and has been pointing for Tech, but the Jackets are better manned.

Key West-Lake Worth Game Is Cancelled By Agreement A football game between Key West and Lake Worth, scheduled for October 9, will not be played it was an- nounced today by Win Jones, high school athletic direc- tor. The Conchs will play St. Patrick’s here on that date, as originally scheduled. The Lake Worth game was set because of a commitment made last year but when the Conchs were voted out of the Suncoast Conference, they assumed that the game was cancelled and they arranged for St. Pat’s to appear here- But Lake Worth held Key West to their earlier agreement and it appeared that the locals would have to of the club, was a pitiful fig | journey to Lake Worth for the tilt.
