Bitter Illinois May Blast Michigan's Rosy Dreams
New York—(UP)—The nation's major football teams, their ranks considerably thinned by Saturday's stupefying upset parade, begin their last mad dash towards bowl bids this week.
Many of the mighty had fallen as only the mighty can fall Army's era of invincibility was snapped by a 21 to 20 loss to Colum-
halted by Purdue, 14 to 7. California's rip-roaring comeback under Lynn Waldorf was jarred by a 39 to 14 loss to Southern Cal. West Virginia's hopes for leadership in the East were dispelled by Penn State, 21 to 14. And so it went, game by game, until the football prognosticators switched to cyanide because cyanide is better (and quicker).
Now, this week tells the tale. For the Rose Bowl bid, mighty Michigan, still unbeaten although considerably less fearful after a tight 13 to 6 over Minnesota, plays an embittered Illinois in hopes of getting the Big Nine share of the Pasadena pageant. U.C.L.A., 7 to 0 loser to Southern Methodist in an intersectional game, battles defeat-smarting California to remain in the fight with Southern Cal for the western half of the invitation.
Should Michigan beat Illinois—and that is by no means a foregone conclusion these slap-happy days—the Wolverines are practically in. And should UCLA lose, that would boost Southern Cal's already good chances to the state of Hollywood superlatives.
Michigan Eyes Rose Bowl
The Trojans will be meeting Washington in a breather. Georgia Tech Wants Sugar Bowl
Georgia Tech is a major possibility for the Sugar Bowl, and the Rambling Wreckers are one crew which has withstood the ravages of the upset this season. Tech, after a 38 to whitewash of the Citadel has a Saturday date with mighty Duke, also a definite bowl prospect after a 13 to 6 win over Wake Forest.
Texas continued to march towards the Southwest conference championship—and an automatic Cotton bowl invitation—with a shaky 12 to 0 victory over Rice. And now the Longhorns go against Southern Methodist.
Other hot bowl prospects are Virginia, which maintained its record with a 35 to 6 win over VMI, Kentucky, and Penn State. Virginia meets Richmond, 20 to 0 victory over Hampden-Sydney, and Penn States tackles Colgate, which tied Brown 13 to 13. And Kentucky 7 to 6 winner over Michigan State plays Alabama in a waterloo match. Irish To Meet Middies
Notre Dame and Penn do not play bowl games, but they're both fighting for the top spot in the nation's football parade—both with perfect records. The Fighting Irish downed Iowa, 21 to 0, Saturday and now face Navy, the team which buckled to Penn by a similar score—21 to 0. Penn meets Princeton, loser by 28 to 21 to Cornell Saturday.
In other major games around the nation this week, Army gingerly starts a comeback by meeting Washington and Lee, and other tilts are Boston College-Georgetown, Boston U.-Fordham, Brown-Holy Cross, Cornell-Columbia, Harvard-utgers, and Yale-Dartmouth.
In the Mid-West, there's Michigan State-Marquette, Minnesota-Pitt, Missouri - Nebraska, Ohio State-Indiana, Purdue-Iowa, Kansas-Kansas State, and Oklahoma-Iowa State. In the west there's Colorado-Utah, and Stanford-Oregon
In the South, it's Kentucky-Ala-

Women's Badminton
Winners of last week's games in the women's intramural badminton tournament will meet this week in quarter-finals.
the quarter-nnals.
Contestants will be Joan Anderson, Alpha Delta Pi, and Marilyn Smith, Kappa Alpha Theta in division I; Elise Lemon, Alpha Omicron Pi, and Donna Williams, Hawks, in division II; Joan Lippelman, Locksley, and Lorraine Mai, Locksley, in division III, and Ruth Henry, Ricker hall, and Betty Van der Smissen, Locksley, in division IV.
The biggest upset of the week? Columbia over Army rates that distinction. After a string of 32 straight victories marred only by a 0 to 0 tie with Notre Dame last season, the Cadets took it on the chin, 21 to 20 in their battle with the Lions.

Other favorites fell also. Oklahoma was outclassed by Texas Christian 20 to 7.
Southern California gave 80,000 spectators a football show by handing California its first loss 39 to 14. The Southern California win establishes them as a logical Rose Bowl choice.
Baylor was trounced by Texas A. and M, 24 to 0 and U. C. L. A. Bowed to Southern Methodist 7 to 0.
Michigan had to hustle to take Minnesota. They had to hustle very hard in fact. The Gophers held Michigan to a 13 to 6 edge and Texas was hard pressed to turn back Rice 12 to 0.

Notre Dame remained among the undefeated by defeating Iowa 21 to 0 in a hard battle at South Bend. Lujack played very little. It looks like he will be saved until the Army game when the Irish will be out to settle accounts with the Cadets for some pastings that the Touchdown Twins handed out during the war.
Only nine unbeaten untied major football teams remain. They are Michigan, Notre Dame, Texas, Pennsylvania (winners over Navy 21 to 0), Georgia Tech, Southern Methodist, Virginia, Penn State, and Utah.
Missouri and Nebraska took over undistputed lead in the Big Six conference. Missouri spanked Iowa State
At Manhattan the Wildcats played rings around Nebraska for a couple of quarters but lost their 22nd. straight 14 to 7. It was a hard game for the Aggies to lose but Nebraska pushed across two touchdowns that didn't count because of penalties and proved to be the better team. Kansas State showed signs of great improvement and will be a threat to Kansas this week-end.

26 to 7, just one point shy of the score Kansas-Iowa State score. Nebraska has defeated Iowa State (14-7) and Kansas State, the two teams that Missouri has won from in the conference.
Oklahoma outrushed T. C. U. 169-yards to 93-yards, but fumbled frequently and had too many passes intercepted to win the game. The Horned Frog passing attack was good in five out of eight tosses and made the Sooners look air-sick.
***
Pittsburgh surprised almost everyone including themselves by defeating Ohio State 12 to 0. It was the first Pitt win against a Big Nine school since 1938. Nevada took Tulsa 21 to 13 while Drake was working over Oklahoma A. and M. 13 to 9 in another surprise. It was the first Drake win over the Sooner Aggies since 1929 and they are still celebrating today. No school!!
If you have any ideas that might solve the seating problem for home basketball games send them into the University Daily Kansan. The only real solution is a new fieldhouse that will seat at least 12,000 persons. Kansas has always been a nationally recognized powerhouse in basketball and all University students should have the opportunity to see their team in action every game. Especially when they are forced to pay additional fee for tickets.

"So you wish to know in 1916. The war came on and fall, having lost two years. For several years my finances have rapidly approached zero. I have maintained myself by doing outside work.
"Many times if I had obeyed sheer impulse I would have given it all up. Now cold reason tells me the whisperings of impulse are sane after all, Why? The increasing contempt of the bourgeois who hold the wealth and give one his job has convinced me that a college education is of little value in a monetary sense. Illiterate Swedes and Russians pull
