East Army over Navy Navy has a great ball club, with great ends, tackles, guards, center, quarter back, halfbacks and fullback. It's only 11 men against 11 men. The Middies will be .shooting with everything they've got but it ain't enough. Army will be lucky to escape a homicide charge. Yale over H a r v a r d Cam bridge colors are crimson, Old Eli's are blue: when Yale gets finished, those Harvards will , sue. (oh you kid!) . Mid-West 'Notre Dame over Great Lakes Remember the Alamo, re member the Maine, remember Pearl Harbor and remember 1943 when the sailors upset the undefeated Irish. The South Benders do, and their memoirs should pay off in spades. West Southern Cal over UCLA shake some roses in front of these Trojans and it's like of fering Wimpy a hamburger. This puts two southern teams in the grandfather bowl. Oregon over Oregon State rd, Wilton Whlta and Cliff Proctor, to coin a cliche, I flipped one. St. Mary's pre-flight over California they must be good if they can beat California (Chamber of Commerce adv.) Southwest Texas over Texas A. & M.

TCU over SMU converting the mustang into a nice, gentle riding hoss. South Alabama over Mississippi States This is where you risk the family jools. State was looking ahead last Saturday when it stumbled, but the Crim son Tide will wash right on through the Rose Bowl. Miami over Auburn pee' yourself an orange, mate. Clemson over Wake Forest using the alphabet system. Georgia over Georgia Tech come out fighting. Virginia over North Carolina -eaved cavaliers come back. Tennessee over Vanderbilt outvoted and outvolunteered. LSU over Tulane ain't no flies on the Bayou Bengals. William and Mary over Rich mond there goes the gun and if you've been having as much trouble reading this as I have trying to write it, I'll bet you're I glad, too.

After what they'd learned in China, they thought they could carve out a place for themselves in the air freight business-not as a regularly scheduled line but as contract haulers. 2 They knew they'd need a lot more topSM, But that didn't discourage them. They pooled the savings they had, drew up their plans and started beating the bush for backers. Eventually they lined up several Los Angeles businessmen to furnish the additional capital on a 50-50 ' ''-the veterans to operate the company. 3 With this (spits! they bought S new, twin-engine Navy -designed "Conestoga" cargo planes from the Surplus Property Board. Then they set up offices at the Long Beach (Cal.

Its planes, each with a cargo capacity of lO.CWO pounds, haul anything, from strawberries to penicillin, on a contract basis. Furthermore, they'll pick up freight any time, anywhere in the U.

Altogether, we think it's one of the greatest things that's happened since the war. UUIO..
