The eyes of the football world are turned toward Atlanta today as Alabama's Crimson Tide rolls in to do battle with the University of Georgia. Both elevens are un defeated and will be battling for national as well as sectional hon ors. Alabama has turned out anoth er great football machine, remin iscent of . the Rose Bowl squad of Dixie Howell and Don Hutson. Frank Thomas has fashioned a defensive line that has given up cnly one touchdown this season, that in a 21-6 defeat of Mississippi State. Leading the assault of the Georgia "Bulldogs: against the Crimson Tide will be All-Ameri can Frankie Sinkwich, spark of Wally Butts' high scoring eleven that has racked up at least 35 points in each of its last four games. - In the East the power-packed Army-Penn clash tops everything in sight with little to choose be tween the two well-coached, well manned squads. Syracuse -N. C. Pre-Flight, Pitt - Carnegie T ec h, and of course Penn State-W. Vir ginia will be closely followed by local fans. In the scrambled Big Ten, un defeated Ohio State will tangle with Wisconsin, frustrated Michi gan meets sensational Illinois, and the twice beaten Golden Gophers battle Northwestern. Louisiana State-Tennessee, Notre Dame-Navy, Stanford- U.C. L. A., and the attempt of Tulsa to keep the nation's only undefeatecl, un tied, and unscored - upori record unsullied, will partially round out a . top-notch football Saturday.

Tlll PLACE AN AD CALL 711 THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Harriers Arrive At East Lansing; Try 5-Mile Course (Special to The Collegian) EAST LANSING, Mich., Oct°. ber 30—Coach Chick Werner has declared his cross-country team "ready" for tomorrow's big race with the Spartan harriers of Michigan State here. According to Werner, the team is in the best of shape and no ex cuses will be offered if they lose to a veteran home team. The Lion thinelads walked over the course this afternoon, but will do no running until just before the meet which has been set for 11:30 tomorrow morning As the lineups stand now, it looks like a race to see which of two "Big Four's" are superior. The Nittanymen have Captain Norm Gordon, Curt Stone, Mac Smith and Jerry Karver-all ex cellent runners with good records this year. The Spartans have four equal ly great distance runners in Ralph Monroe, Bill Scott'', Jerry Page, and Horskie. All of these men have had two years of varsity cross-country • experience under their belts and should be hard to beat. This meeting will be the first intersectional meet for the . Lion harriers since 1940 when this same Michigan State team jour;- neyed to State College and trounced the Wernermen 20-35 despite a first place by Lion Cap tain Billy Smith. . • • Only meet of the season for the Spartans ended in disaster when Indiana swamped them 20-37. On the other hand the invaders have an impressive . record of two wins and no defeats in competi tion with Eastern teams. The Pennsylvanians drubbed Man hattan, 19 1 / 2 -35 1 / 2 , and last week romped over Syracuse, 15-40. • The lineups follow: • Penn •State Michigan State Gordon Monroe Stone Scott Smith Horskie Karver Beach Williams Horne Drop-Add Checks Ready Students who are entitled to checks for subjects dtopped that required fees can get these checks at the Bursar's office on first floor, Old Main, Bursar Russell E.
