Crucial Games This Week May Clear National Muddle
New York—(UP)—Michigan held one Rose Bowl berth today, and it was up to Southern California to beat U.C.L.A. for the other this week.
You could safely say that Michigan and Notre Dame are the chief contenders for the national championship, since Michigan clinched the Big Nine title with a 40 to 6 win over Wisconsin and Notre Dame retained

Big Six teams have shown little respect this year for the honored football tradition. Homecoming.
Those doggoned Nebraska Cornhuskus started it all, when they spoiled the day for Ike Eisenhower and the Kansas Staters at Manhattan. With characteristic "cousinly" fidelity, the University's Jay Hawkers avenged the name of Kansas a few weeks later at the Cornhusker homecoming.
Saturday the southern school in the conference followed such examples at Columbia, Mo., taking all the gladness out of the hearts of Tiger Homecomers We might even suppose the Oklahomaans passed this idea on to the men of Don Faurot—this unfunny practical joke of spoiling Homecoming.
With such evident contempt for the traditions of neighbor schools prevailing in the Big Six, we might as well resolve right now that the Tigers' intentions next weekend will not be honorable. They also owe us one for the wreckage we left behind last Turkey day at Columbia.
Resolved, then, that it shall not happen here, Jayhawkers.
Coach Sauer's record at Lawrence-on-the-Kaw becomes more and more impressive. The Tulsa debacle of last year (which really shouldn't be mentioned in print) has proved to be a milestone. Since that game, the Hawkers have not tasted defeat on the gridiron in 12 consecutive contests. Oklahoma A. and M. currently occupies both ends of the victim list, starting us off last year and sinking before the men of Sauer for victim no. 12 Saturday.
The United Press recently listed 237 candidates whom it deemed were worthy of All-American consideration. There were 39 ends, 40 tackles, 32 guards, 27 centers, and 99 backs.
Among these 237 football greats, only nine were from Big Six teams. And among these nine men, four were from the University of Kansas.
Otto Schnellbacher was one of the 39 ends mentioned; Don Ettinger was on the tackle list; Don Fambrough was among the 32 guard selections; and Ray Evans was, of course, among the backfield candidates.
Other conference men on the list included Jack Pesek. Nebraska end; centers Bob Fuchs of Missouri, Tom Novak of Nebraska, and John Rapacz of Oklahoma; and Jack Mitchell, Oklahoma quarterback.
Also on the backfield list were Linwood Sexton, the Negro halfback of the Wichita Shockers, and Fred Enke, ace groundgainer for Arizona university, who will oppose the Javhawkers two weeks hence.
Conspicuous by their absence were Oklahoma linemen Paul Burris and Wade Walker; Iowa State's Webb Halbert; Missouri's Bus Entsinger; and Forrest Griffith, who has outshone any fullback we've seen this year.
Hobson In Good Condition Following Face Injuries
Stephen Hobson, engineering sophomore who suffered severe lacerations on the face in an accident Sunday night, is reported to be in good condition today by Watkins hospital.
He was a passenger in a car driven by Bob Brown, Baldwin, which collided with another car driven by Robert Dye, 933 Ohio street. The accident occurred in the 1100 block on Massachusetts street.
its perfect record by downing North-
western, 26 to 19.
But otherwise, nothing was sacred. Georgia Tech, which seemed a sure shot for the Southeastern conference title, lost to Alabama, 14 to 7. Likewise, Missouri and Utah fell unexpectedly and Penn was tied by Army.
This week's games will either add to the general confusion, or else eliminate it—depending on the outcome of the vital clashes.
A crowd of 100,000 will be on hand for the most important of the tilts when Southern Cal meets U. C. L. A. in Los Angeles. A victory vaults U. S. c into the Rose Bowl with Michigan. A U. C. L. A. win could produce a tie—perhaps a three or four-way tie, at that.
The Big Six championship will be at stake, too, in a pair of games this week—KANSAS vs. Missouri and Oklahoma vs. Nebraska. Missouri's surprise 21-12 loss to Oklahoma means that either KANSAS or Oklahoma could win the title Saturday if one wins and the other loses. If both lose, Missouri gets it. Otherwise, another tie. Nebraska was off Saturday and KANSAS licked the Oklahoma Aggies in a non-league game. 13 to 7.
Southern Cal was idle Saturday perparing for this game, while U. C. L. A. downed Washington. 34 to 7.
Duke meets North Carolina this week and could clinch the Southern conference crown with a victory. Duke played a scoreless tie with South Carolina Saturday, and North Carolina downed Maryland, 19 to 0.
In the Southeastern conference, Georgia Tech's loss sent Mississippi to the head of the class. Each team has but one league game left—Mississippi against Mississippi State and Tech against Georgia in Nov. 27 traditional intra-state tilts. It would take a Missouri Mississippi loss and a Tech win for Bobby Dodd's lads to get the bunting.
Mississippi, 52-0 victor over Chattanooga thanks to Chuck Conerly's record-breaking performance Saturday, is off this weekend while Tech plays non-league. Furman.
In the Southwest, S. M. U. heat Arkansas, 14 to 6, and continued to lead the parade towards the championship and the Cotton Bowl. S. M. U. must beat Baylor this week and T. C. u. next in its final games to clinch the crown. Contending Texas, a 20-0 winner over T. C. U. has only Texas A & M Nov. 27, remaining. Baylor downed Tulsa, 7-6. Saturday.
Penn's 7-7 tie with Army did not detract from the Ivy league title already clinched, and likewise Utah's 13-6 loss to Idaho did not cost the Utes their Big Seven championship.
Penn, Army and Navy, the latter 2-10 loser to Penn State Saturday. are all idle in the East this week. Penn State, defending that unbeaten and untied record, faces Pitt, 28-0 victim of Purdue.
Notre Dame tackles Tulane, which tied Florida, 7 to 7, in a warmup for the Nov. 27 game with Southern Cal.
Harold Hixon was elected chairman of the program committee of the Classic club Thursday.
