9 Major Unbeaten Elevens Face 'Breathers' Saturday
New York, Oct. 25-(UP)-A quick glance around the nation's college football scene today showed things pretty much as they were a week ago, and there seemed little chance that there would be much difference next week.
Only two of the country's leading perfect-record teams were dropped
from that list last Saturday—Cornell and Penn State. The remaining team cleared the hurdle and face apparently weak opposition this week.
It almost goes without saying that Michigan and Notre Dame continue to rank as the nation's number one and two teams, not necessarily in that order. Each won over a tough rival last weekend, Michigan drubbing Minnesota, 27 to 14, and the Irish squished Iowa, 27 to 12.
NorthCarolina, Choo - Choosing along, with Charley Justice, may run into a real road-block in Tennessee, an old rivalry that could result in a derailment. Georgia Tech faces Duke and Clemson will meet Boston college.
Army, whom many people now realize is much stronger and much closer to the caliber of the cadet national championship teams of the war years than was originally suspected, walloped a talented Cornell outfit last Saturday, 27 to 6, and this week takes on Virginia Tech in a "breather." Penn, the other powerhouse of the East, rests up from Navy with Washington and Lee.
This week Notre Dame tackles Navy. A week ago folks would have just conceded that one to the Irish, shed a tear for the Middies, and that would be all. But Navy, though still winless, gained in stature last week by holding Penn to a 20 to 14 score. Michigan, on the other hand, figures to have a lot less trouble with the Illini than with Minnesota's Gophers.
The rootin', tootin' Nevada Wolf Pack, which has caught the fancy of the nation as it racks up ground-gaining and pass-scoring records, will meet Oklahoma City. California, still looking like the powerhoue of the far West, may be in lots of danger from rugged Southern Cal.
In other leading games this week.
end:
Also up there, however, Army and Pennsylvania in the East. North Carolina, Georgia Tech, and Clemson in the South, and Nevada and California in the West.
Alert Sent Out For Dozer
In the East; Cornell will try to use Columbia as balm for the Army loss, while Columbia will be out to forget last week's 16 to 14 loss to Princeton; Penn State, held to a 14 to 14 tie by Michigan State, faces Colgate; Harvard plays Holy Cross; Yale tangles with Dartmouth, conqueror of Harvard; and Rutgers goes against Brown.
In the Far West: Oregon, favorite to lead the Pacific Coast conference's Northern Section, will meet St. Mary's; plus Santa-Clara- San Francisco; Oregon State-Michigan State; Stanford-Washington; and U.C.L.A. journeys to Nebraska.
The Mississippi Bridged Again
In Southwest: Southern Methodist and Texas meet in a game that may have a lot to say about the conference champion; and there's Texas Aggies-Arkansas; Baylor-Texas Christian; Hardin-Simmons-Texas Mines; and Rice-Texas Tech.
East St. Louis, Ill.—(UP)—Work has been started on a $10,000,000 city-owned bridge spanning the Mississippi River to St. Louis. The bridge will be the sixth connecting link between Illinois and Missouri in the St. Louis area.
Lewisburg, Pa.—(UP) — North eastern Federal penitentiary guards and nearby state police units were alerted and set for a manhunt when the escape of a prisoner was broadcast. Then they relaxed. The missing man was found in a prison work shop. James Neuman, 23, told F.B.I. agents he fell asleep while doing his janitor duties in the shop and thus missed a roll call.
In the Midwest: Missouri meets Kansas State; Minnesota meets Indiana; Northwestern clashes with Ohio State; and there's Ohio-Duquesne; Purdue-Marquette; and Iowa-Wiscoisin.
In the South: Alabama tangles with Georgia and Johnny Rauch at Birmingham; Vanderbilt clashes with Auburn, Friday night; Furman plays Florida; and there's Wake Forest-North Carolina State; L.S.U.-Mississippi; and Tulane-Mississippi State.

BUD FRENCH four different sports in his athletic career
As an athlete at Central high school in Kansas City, Mo., Bud lettered three years in football, basketball, track and baseball. In track he was a member of the 880-yard relay team and ran the low and high hurdles. He was chosen on the all-city football, basketball and baseball teams in his junior and senior years.
"I have enjoyed being at KU. I am sure I like it much more than I would have liked Missouri," Bud said. "I visited Lawrence and Columbia, and I liked Lawrence more so I decided to come to Kansas. Lawrence is also closer to home."
He came to the University in the fall of 1942, but entered the Navy at the end of the semester. After spending three years in the service, Bud re-entered K.U. in 1945. He has lettered the past two seasons in football and has three letters in baseball.
French played in all of the regular season games in 1947 for the Jayhawkers. He carried the ball 42 times for a net gain of 347 yards. He had the distinction of not losing a single yard from scrimmage in 1947. He caught seven passes for 136 yards and two touchdowns last year. Bud returned five punts for 81 yards and six kickoffs for 153 yards. He scored five touchdowns for the Jayhawkers.
