Top Football Saturday
Features Army-Penn,
Georgia-Alabama
The 1942 football season hits the
crest of the wave today as several
hundred college football teams
turn into the second and toughest
half of their war-time schedules.
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

tween the two well-coached, well
manned squads. Syracuse -N. C.

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.
