Bobo Olson {1-5 Favorite (fznnirll’s Al Sure Are Over Randy By MURRAY ROSE NEW YORK #—Carl (Bobo) Ol- son, the hustling Hawaiian from San Francisco, today held firmly as the 11-5 favorite to whip Eng- land’s moody Randy Turpin in their 15-round middleweight title fight at Madison Square Garden tonight. Although his strange - training methods have been as unorthodox as his awkward fighting style, the 25-year-old British Negro said flat- ly, “I'll prove I was right. I'l win and bring back the champion- Olson, poker-faced and quiet, said calmly as usual, “I'll take the title.” Then he left the rest of the talking, as usual, to Manager Sid Flaherty. : “Olson will win,” was the stud- fed comment of Ruy Robinson, who fought them both twice. The two will batfle for the crown the great Sugar Ray abdicated nine months ago. “Olson is aggressive and very busy,” said Robinson. “He gives you no room aud he thinks fast. Turpin can't go back.

Its victim was Notre Dame—now a strong possibility as a stumbling block for the Geor- gians. Actually, Tech is carrying the fourth best unbeaten mark of mod- ern times’ against Notre Dame. Be- hind the Irish 39-game skein! stretching from 1946 to 1950 comes Tennessee with 33 (1926-30) fol- lowed by Army with 32 (1944-47). The Spartans need just three to pull even with Oklahoma (1948-51) in the consecutive-contest win col- umn and have already bypassed arch-rival Michigan and Princeton, who posted 24 straight triumphs. The Spartans are also in the best position to keep their string going. After Purdue, they face Ore- gon State and Ohio State. The big- gest threat is Michigan Nov, 14. After that comes Marquette. Georgia Tech has games with unimpressive Vanderbilt and Clem- . 8on following the Notre Dame con- test, but the trio of Alabama, Duke and Georgia at the end of the Season mean more rough going. One thing is certain, Neither Georgia Tech nor Michigan State have to worry about catching up to the all-time records. University of Washington went 63 games without a loss from 1907 to 1917 while Yale won 48 in a row bace in 1885-89. The Navy football team has made only one post-season bowl appear- ance. After the 1923 season the Middies went to the Rose Bowl (Jan, 1, 1924) and tied the Univer- sity of Washington, 14-14.

Furgeax, AO2, of FAWTU, for, high individual honors, was second-place FAWTU, with 1453, and VX-1, which took third with 1438. Fourth place went to the Annex a score of 1409, fol- lowed by D at 1322, Fleet Son- ar School; not able to hold the fast pace set by the leaders, drop- ped far behind and drew last! place with a score of 1198.

Bat Oleksiak, who suffered a broken left foot before the season started, had the cast removed yes- terday but Tennessee Coach Har- vey Robinson said the tailback ‘won’t be used this year. Georgia had a costly scrimmage. Freshman tackle Bob Van Buren twisted a knee and sophomore half- back Jimmy Williams came up with a severe charley horse. Neither is expected to be in action against North Carolina Saturday. Alabama drilled on defense in Preparation for Mississippi State. Fullbacks Tommy Lewis and Bob Monnett and halfback John Mc- Bride watched the drill in street clothes. Lewis may play this week, but Coach Red Drew said the others won’t be ready. Auburn got the full treatment in a rugged drill. Coach Ralph Jordan had one varsity unit working on offense against the freshmen and another scrimmaged against the “B” team on deferse.
