Grid Guesses
By LARRY LAD
October 16 comes as a week of
decision for the Grid Guess col
umn. Wo think we've devised a
system that will boost this col
umn's .709 season average and
there's no time like Saturday to
try it out. Some of these may look
a bit zany but until the results are
all in, we'll argue for them whole
heartedly.
Game of the week will be played
at Ann Arbor when Northwestern
journeys up from Evanston, Illi
nois to clash with the mighty Mich
igan Wolverines. Michigan is a 7
point favorite with the gamblers.
Northwestern has had three very
tough games oii( consecutive Sat
urdays while Michigan has been
brought along a bit more slowly.
Both teams beat Purdue, North
western by 21 points, Michigan by
do. Northwestern played a bruising
game with Minnesota last week
while the Wolverines were having
a picnic with the Boilermakers.
We're hoping the Wildcats haven’t
too many injuries because we're
tabbing them to upset Michigan by
<5 points.
Ducks by 14
On the Pacific coast, all eyes will
be on Portland's Multnomah sta
dium where Oregon tangles with
the Trojans of Southern California.
A Webfoot win might well set
them up for a clean sweep of their
remaining games and a shoo-in to
the Rose Bowl. A Trojan win may
well toss the Bowl bid to the up
surging Bears of California.
Southern Cal had as bad a time
with Rice last week as the Ducks
did with Idaho. The Trojans were
“up" for that game; the Ducks
were “down." If the breaks go
against Oregon we think it could
be a tie ballgame. If the Webfoots
get the breaks they’ve got coming
we feel safe in tabbing the Ducks
for a 14-point win.
Columbia In Upset
On the east coast, the “big”
game is between Pennsylvania and
Columbia. Penn has a tough, fast
eleven that has thus far dispatched
Dartmouth and Princeton with lit
tle or no trouble. Columbia has
wins over Rutgers and Yale but
lost 24-33 to Harvard. Lou Little
is no man to fool with and so, for
the upset of the East, Columbia by
C points.
In the Southeastern conference,
Dixie eyes will roll towards Knox
ville where Tennessee entertains
the Crimson Tide of Alabama. Ala
bama has looked much more im
pressive to date, but it's Home
coming for the Vols. On a hunch,
Tennessee to upset, by 6 points.
Minnesota, Irish
Back around the nation at a lit
tle faster clip, we'll pick Arkansas
to upset Texas by 6 points, Minne
sota to flatten Illinois by 14, In
diana to edge Ohio State by 6,
Purdue to beat Iowa 10 points,
Wisconsin to trip Yale by 14, No
tre Dame to crush Nebraska by 27
points, and Pitt to post a 14-point
win over Marquette.
In the East we predict that
Army will nip Harvard by 6 points,
Holy Cross to take a 6-point thrill
er from Brown, Dartmouth to blast
Colgate by 14, Cornell to crush
Syracuse by 20, Missouri to work
hard for a 7 point win over Navy,
Penn State to swamp W. Virginia

Weather Man Says
'No Rain' for Game
PORTLAND, ORE., Oct. 15—
(AP)—The weather man today
forecast a dry field for the South
ern California-Oregon football
game here Saturday.
He said some high cloudiness but
no rain was in prospect.
Southern California meanwhile
was cast in the unaccustomed role
of underdog in some quarters.
Some odds-makers rated the af
fair even, but others made Oregon
six-point favorite.
Southern California will arrive
tomorrow by air to work out on
Multnomah Stadium, where the
game will be played.

Determined Ducks Continue Work
For Southern Cal Game Saturday;
Aiken Plans Changes on Offense
Set and determined to stay in the Pacific Coast Conference
race for the Rose Bowl, the University of Oregon Ducks
whipped through another pre-game padless workout yes
terday afternoon. ,
Jim Aiken’s Ducks, currently holding down first place
in PCC standing's, meet the USC Trojans in a conference game
Saturday in Portland’s Multnomah
stadium.
Although there may be a shake
up in the Webfoot offensive back
field against Southern Cal, both
Johnny McKay and George Bell,
slightly injured against Idaho, will
be ready for duty.
Boost in Offense
Keith DeCourcey, second right
halfback, and DeWayne Johnson,
r e g u 1 a r defensive line-backer,
have been working out in ball
carrying rolls this week, and may
see offensive action.
Final Oregon workout before the
Portland invasion is scheduled this
afternoon, and will be closed to
spectators, following Aiken’s re
cent practice policy.
Duck Leave Saturday
The Oregon squad will not en
train for Portland until early Sat
urday, and are scheduled to arrive
in the Hose City at 11:30 in the
morning.
Both teams have only one de
feat on the records so far this
season, both in intersectional
games. The Ducks lost a 14-0 de
cision to the University of Michi
gan, while USC was beaten by the
Ohio State Buckeyes, 21-0.
Game a Rose Bowl ‘Key’
Coach Jeff Cravath’s Trojans
have played only one conference
contest so far, that being a 21-6
win over the OSC Beavers. Ore- -
gon has won two conference games,
over Stanford and Idaho.
A win for either team Satur
day would he an important step
toward the Rose Bowl nomination,
and a defeat would mean almost -
certain elimination from title com
tention.
Reports from Trojan headquar
ters indicate the USC squad will
be at full strength for the Oregon
game. SC defeated a tough Rice
team last Saturday, and will be
out to veto Duck bowl chances
with a victory.
In past years, USC has won 11
games from Oregon, the Ducks
have beaten the Trojans only
twice, and one game ended in a tie.
To win a reputation as a prophet,
one has only to predict trouble.
