But that wasn’t 1953. Tomorrow the University qof! Pennsylvania entertains California in Philadelphia and it would be considered far from an upset if the Quakers win the big intersectional contest. Penn has a murderous schedule with only one Ivy League school on it and the experts are figuring that maybe George Munger’s boys will not be able to hold up. But they won their first game in 15 years from Penn State-last week and are not disposed to play dead. California is sub-par this year, but Pappy Waldorf has come up with a nifty quarterback in Paul Larsen. It is his good arm that the Quakers will have to stop if they are to continue undefeated. There’s another top intersection- al clash at Los Angeles where rock-ribbed UCLA plays host to Wisconsin of the Big 10. favorites for the Pacific Coast Con- ference title and should have enough to hold the Badgers in check. Notre Dame, the No. 1 team in the country in the weekly Associa- ted Press poll, has a day off, but Michigan State, its closest pursuer has what looks like a breeze. The Spartans will be at home to Texas Christian and figure to breeze to their 27th straight triumph. Ohio State, which is making, menacing gestures in the direction of the Spartans throne on top of the Big 10, plays Ilinois, a con- ference foe. This one, too, should be a soft touch for the Buckeyes, Michigan, the third member of the|Bill conference’s Big Three, tangles) with Iowa, which has looked fairly impressive. In the Southwest, Oklahoma is on the spot. The Sooners were rat- ed one of the top teams in the country before the season got un- der way. Then, even though they Tost to Notre Dame two weeks ago, they stayed in the AP’s top 10, But last week they were tied by Pitt and dropped out of the select circle. Tomorrow they visit the Univer- sity of Texas for a key game. Buddy Leake and his cohorts should win, although Texas is an outfit that has shown it can score. Georgia Tech, unbeaten in 28) games—the longest skein without a defeat in the land—also must Prove to the experts that it is as strong as {t has been the past two years.

But, Beckman said that they'll alter- nate between the T and the single! wing to keep the defense off bal- ance. A wide open brand of ball could be the result. The Conchs have also worked up a first rate passing at- tack which they may unlimber if; the field is dry. Only Conchs who won't be on ‘tap tonight are center John De- Merritt and end Jimmy Solomon.
