College Scene Shifts
To Conference Hatties
By Jerry Lawrie
As the pigskin season turns into its third and fourth
weeks, we find the real beginnings of intra-conference war-
fare throughout the nation. Intersectional play continues,
but most eyes will be on scraps that may ultimately pro-
duce a champion by the time Thanksgiving rolls around.
In the powerful Western Con-
ference, we find one game that
will have a great deal to do with
the midwest’s representative at
Pasadena come next New Year’s
day. Iowa’s huge Hawkeyes col-
lide with Ivy Williamson’s Wis-
consin Badgers at Camp Randall
Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin.
The Hawks won by a 13-7 count
last year, but only after the Bad-
gers fumbled on the Iowa four-
yard line with five minutes left
in the game. Today’s contest, look-
ed on as the game of the day in
most circles, will probably be de-
cided by just such a break. How-
ever, the Badgers are favored to
win a close one in their own back-
yard.
In other Big Ten thrillers,
Michigan State goes to Ann Ar-
bor for their big one with
Michigan’s Wolverines while
Minnesota entertains Purdue at
Minneapolis. In non-league ac-
tion, Illinois is favored to whip
Iowa State at Champaign-Ur-
bana, Indiana goes upstate to
meet Notre Dame and North-
western goes down to New Or-
leans to be entertained by Tul-
ane’s Green Wave. Ohio State
meets Stanford at Palo Alto,
California.
Other midwestern clashes will
find Kansas at Colorado, Tulsa
at Marquette in a night contest,
Utah at Missouri and Oklahoma’s
Sooners entertaining Pittsburgh.
Top eastern seaboard game will
be Army at Penn State. The
Nittany Lions should give the
Cadets a stern test and could up-
set the dopesters if the Black
Knights of the Hudson have one
eye cocked on the Michigan con-
test next week.
In Ivy league tilts, it’s Prin-
ceton at Columbia, Brown at
Yale and Cornell takes on Col-
gate at Ithaca, New York in a
nonleague fracas. Other clashes
have Dartmouth at Holy Cross,
Navy entertaining South Caro-
lina’s Gamecocks, Kentucky at
Villanova and Pennsylvania jour-
neying to California.
In the South, it’s Alabama’s
Crimson Tide against Vanderbilt’s
Commodores. Auburn entertains
Florida in a close one while Clem-
son hosts Georgia’s Bulldogs. Duke
meets Tennessee at Knoxville and
Georgia Tech takes on SMU at
Central Exchange
(Continued from Col 1, Page 1).
Arrangements have not yet been
completed for the sale of Christ-
mas trees, but there will be the
traditional symbols of the season
for your office, home, dayrooms_
and clubs.
The sub-exchange will have a
large variety of Christmas de-
corations for all occasions and
needs. Wreaths for the doors,
Santas for the table and bright,
shiny ornaments and lights will
make your tree Iteflavik’s finest.
Major P. R. Ganstine, Central
Exchange Officer, states that from
October 1, Christmas gift items
and toys will be coming in almost
daily. The minute they arrive, they
will be put on sale on a first come
—first served basis, so if you
don’t find what you want today,
try again tomorrow and make your
deadline November 15.
Atlanta. North Carolina should
whip North Carolina State in their
cross-state rivalry and VPI’s Gob-
blers, go against William & Mary,
fresh from their 33-0 triumph
over Pennsylvania last week. West
Virginia’s Mountaineers meet
Wake Forest’s Demon Deacons in
what could be the loudest bang of
the day in the South.
The only scheduled league ac-
tion in the high-stepping South-
west Conference finds a big game
when TCU’s Horned Frogs go
over the state line to tangle with
Arkansas’ Razorbacks. Baylor
plays host to Maryland in the
Southwest’s other game-of-the-
day. LSU invades the Rice Owls’
lair at Houston and Texas Tech
should get back to winning ways
when they journey up to meet
the Oklahoma Aggies.
In Mountain States league play,-
Brigham Young goes against Mon-
tana in a contest to decide who
will be the conference celler dwel-
ler. Wyoming hosts Utah State
in the Cowboy’s effort to stay on
top of the heap. Colorado A&M
entertains Denver in what should
be a close one and Arizona should
repeat last year’s victory over
Idaho.
In Pacific Coast Conference ac-
tion, UCLA travels up to Pullman,
Washington to subdue Washington
State’s Cougars. Oregon enter-
tains Washington’s Huskies and
USC hosted Texas at the Los An-
geles Coliseum last night.
Saturday, October 8 . . .
In the East, Boston College en-
tertains Villanova while the other
Beantown representative, Boston
University, travels to Syracuse.
Brown hosts Dartmouth in an Ivy
league engagment and Colgate’s
Red Raiders receive a visit from
Holy Cross. Yale goes to New
York City to meet Columbia and
Cornell will be after Harvard’s
scalp for the 13-12 defeat of last
year. Navy entertains Pitt at An-
napolis and will be out to repay
the Panthers for the 21-19 victory
they ground out over the Mid-
dies last season. Princeton meets
Lombard Tourney Winners
Colonel Norval K. Heath, Deputy Commander for Operations, IADF,
presents Lt Hal Kuhn, team captain of the VP-18 squad, with the
winners trophy at annual Lombard Tournament. After playing four
hard games in one day the team was elated with their victory, as
the’r smiles show.
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia while
Penn State travels to tackl j under-
dog Virginia.
In the midwest. Big Ten ac-
tion finds Illinois at Ohio State,
Indiana at Iowa, Minnesota at
Northwestern and Purdue takes
on Wisconsin’s Badgers at La-
Fayette. Non-league action will
find Michigan a favorite to grind
out the first victory over Army
while Michigan State should get
back on the winning track by
nudging Stanford at East Lans-
ing.
Other contests in the nation’s
“breadbasket” see Houston at Det-
roit, Iowa State hoping to repeat
its decision of last year over Kan-
sas at Lawrence and Marquette
taking on Kansas State in a night
contest at Milwaukee. Nebraska
goes to College Station, Texas, to
meet the Texas Aggies while Notre
Dame also goes south to meet the
Miami Hurricanes in the Orange
Bowl Stadium on Friday night,
October 7.
In the south and southeast,
we find TCU meeting Alabama,
Auburn hosting Kentucky’s Wild-
cats and Rice, a favorite for the
Southwest crown, journeying to
Clemson. William and Mary plays
at Duke while Florida should
find George Washington a soft
touch. VPI travels to the Sun-
shine State to take on Florida
State in a night contest.
Georgia’s Bulldogs will have to

be reclassified underdogs against
North Carolina’s Tarheels at
Athens, Georgia. LSU will meet
Georgia Tech’s Rambling Wreck
at Baton Rouge. Wake Forest will
be lucky to repeat their 13-13 tie
of last year when they tangle with
Maryland at College Park. Mis-
sissippi should tumble Vanderbilt
while Tulane will probably find
Mississippi State a rather diffi-
cult host. VMI will have to do
considerably better than last year
to take West Virginia’s huge
Mountaineers.
Baylor knocks noodles with
Arkansas on the Bear’s back
porch. This affair will be the
day’s big game in the South-
west conference and could be
decided by one point like last
year’s Razorback win. Texas will
be the underdog to Oklahoma in
their traditional contest during
the Texas State Fair.
In the ratified air of the Rock-
ies, the day’s big games will pit
Colorado A&M against the high-
flying Wyoming Cowboys while
Utah entertains Brigham Young.
Out on the shores of the “Blue
Pacific,” California entertains
Washington State at Berkeley,
COP marches into the “land of
spuds” to tangle with Idaho,
Oregon matches points with Col-
orado and UCLA should clobber
Oregon State.

games being played every week-
end, listen to TFIv every Friday
evening at 2145 for football pre-
dictions and again on Sunday
evenings at 1945 for scores.

April Prediction
September Story
In, answer to numerous
queries (none), here is a
rehash of M/Sgt Joe Coats-
worth’s major league pen-
nant predictions of April 16
when The WHITE FAL-
CON’S editor presented ev-
erybody the opportunity to
make a fortune by announc-
ing the winners and order of
finish in both the American
and National leagues.
“Fearless Joe” really went to
town in the junior circuit, picking
the first three place finishers in
order—New York, Cleveland and
Chicago. Detroit was picked to
finish fourth if big Ted Williams
decided not to play. If Ted decided
not to ' “hang up his spikes”,
Boston was selected to round out
first division while the Bengals
were pushed down a notch to fifth.
As we all know, Williams decided
to forgo his fishing and the Red
Sox came in fourth despite a dis-
astrous late season slump.
Unfortunately, Joe didn’t stop
with the American League, but
had to go and predict the Na-
tional League winners too. He
picked Brooklyn right on the
nose, but conspicuously flounder-
ed after that.
The “Bums” cross-town rivals,
the New York Giants, were se-
lected to fill the runner-up spot.
They finished third. Milwaukee,
picked for third, finished second.
Philadelphia and Cincinnati
were picked for the next two
spots with the Redlegs given the
fourth position and the Phillies
heading the second division. The
teams reversed themselves in the
actual race, however, but Joe gets
an “A” for effort, he spelled both
names correctly.
Also in the April column, the
Yankees were picked to win the
World Series although Joe isn’t so
sure anymore. Time will tell.
Anyone desiring information on
how they will finish in 1956 are
urged to read the April 7, 1956
issue of The WHITE FALCON.

ted mess halls. When the dign-
itaries of all nations pass through
Keflavik Airport, the joint Honor
Guard, composed of Army, Navy
and Air Force, is always standing
tall.
The only time when cooperation,
but not spirit, seems to halt is in
the field of athletics. The basket-
ball season will produce many a
“hot” contest to determine which
service will garner the winner’s
trophy.
