Top Games Get Football Under Way
New York—(UP)—Navy, North Carolina and U. C. L. A are favored today in the three top games of the week as intercollegiate football cast a momentary shadow over the World Series with 13 major intersectional games and a host of bitter rivalties in every corner of the nation.
The parade of 1947's power teams opens tonight at Los Angeles where U.C.L.A., battered by Illinois in the Rose Bowl, was a one point favorite to defeat Iowa and gain a measure of revenge against the Big Nine. Navy Over California
It continues on Saturday with North Carolina a $7 \frac{1}{2}$ point favorite to reverse its Sugar Bowl defeat against Georgia in a replay at Chapel Hill, N. C., and Navy favored by three to down California at Berkeley.
A few of the behemoths will be idle-notably Notre Dame in the Midwest and Pennsylvania in the East-but most of the giants unlumber, and an obvious indication that September "breatheers" rapidly are becoming a thing of the past is the fact that scattered conference games are listed in the Big Nine, Pacific Coast conference, the Southern and Southeastern conferences. Kansas is Favorited
Coming up tonight are four other intersectional games of merit: Boston College with a 10 point spread over Clemson at Boston; Miami favored by 10 over Baylor at Miami; Kansas by 18 over Denver at Denver and Oklahoma by 10 over Detroit at Detroit.
But Saturday is the big day. Illinois and Michigan, co-favorites for the Big Nine title, test their strength; so do Southern California, the West Coast favorites; Army in the East; Louisiana State, Georgia Tech and Tennessee in the Southeast; Rice in the Southwest; North Carolina State and Duke in the Southern conference.
It was Illinois by 19½ over Pittsburgh at Champaign, Illinois. Michigan by 32 over Michigan State at Ann Arbor, Southern California by 18½ over Washington State in a conference game, Army by 13½ over Villanova at West Point, Georgia Tech by six over Tennessee in a conference game, Louisiana State by 5½ over Rice and Duke by seven over Oklahoma State in a conference game at Durham, N.C.
Texas To Win By 17
Intersectionally, the West Coast is the major center with three other games crying for a share of the billing with Navy-California. Texas was a 17 point favorite to dump Oregon in the Northwest, Southern Methodist by 20 at Santa Clara and Oregon State by 20 over Utah. Stanford was a heavy favorite over Idaho in a conference game.
The Midwest has a pair of standouts with Washington at Minnesota and Vanderbilt at Northwestern. Both Big Nine teams were foremost in the affections of the oddsmakers, Minnesota by eight points and Northwestern, in Bob Voigts' coaching by, 13.
Of the major conferences, the Southern is the most active in league play with William and Mary at Davidson, Washington and Lee at Richmond, Maryland at South Carolina and Furman at Virginia Tech in addition to the Duke-N. C. State battle.
Wisconsin Gets The Edge
Wisconsin and Purdue open the Big Nine season at Madison with Harry Stuhldreher's Badgers a seven-point favorite over Purdue.
While Georgia Tech and Tennessee are having it out, Alabama bids for its old position of eminence in a Southeastern conference game with Tulane. Alabama is a seven point favorite. Mississippi, victor over Kentucky last week, is favored by 13 over Florida which lost nine straight in the conference last year.
*No Attraction In Southwest*
The Southwest has little to shout about with Texas A. and M. a 10 point favorite over Texas Tech; Texas Christian by seven over Oklahoma A. and M.; Arkansas prohibitively over North Texas State and several games of lesser importance.

Cards Clinch 2nd By Winning Pair

They made 22 hits, their season high, in winning the first game as Erv Dusak hit a three run homer and Neslaugh Slaughter, Marty Marion, Joe Garajola and pitcher Murray Dickson made two hits apiece as Dickson breezed to his 13th win. Rookie Gerald Stalley made his first start a winning one as he outpitched Steve Nagy in a second game duel in which Musial made three more hits to boost his average to .312.
The Dedgers won a game they started 39 days ago at Philadelphia. 7-5 then took a second contest, 5-2 in a "semi-doubleheader".
Jack Kramer, despite the fact that he had the cheers of only 315 fans to cheers him on, pitched the Brownsto a 4-3 victory over the Indians at St. Louis in a rare weekday afternoon game.
Boston at New York and Philadelphia at Washington in the American were rained out, and Chicago at Cincinnati had an open date in the National.
Yesterday's Star—Stan Musial, Cardinals, who made seven hits in a double victory over the Pirates to boost his average to .312, up five points.

The Journalism building is being painted for the first time in seven years George V. Long of building and grounds said today. All of the exterior woodwork will be painted cream, and should be completed by the last of the week.
Journalism 'Shack' Getting Paint Job
The "University Daily Kansan" sign will be completely re-done. The letters will be covered with gold leaf and the background will be repainted. Mr. Long is planning to dress in red shirts, colors, a blue back and red border. 'I don't like that funeral black that it is,' he said.
Mr. Long is in charge of a crew of nine painters at work on the building. The work was slowed somewhat because it is difficult to build scaffolding for the old-style structure.

Mining Engineers Increase One-Half
The enrollment of mining engineering majors, has increased 50 per cent this semester, Kenneth E. Rose, associate professor and chairman of the department of mining and metallurgy, said today.
"There is an apparent increase of interest in the mining field as many students with other majors are also taking courses." Professor Rose, said.
During the war there was a shortage of mining engineers because the government restricted the mining of gold and other important metals, he added.
Only 1 per cent of all graduating engineers are mining engineers as compared with 2 per cent before the war. Mr. Rose said. This reduced percentage along with the decrease during the war is not meeting the demand for new engineers.
