New York,
Nov.
12-(AP)--
Sliding down from
the
top
of
the football peak with another
hatful of forecasts.
Last week's 62 correct picks
in 75 chances meant an average
of .827. That brought the sea-
son's total to 451 correct and
101 incorrect for an average of
.818.
The weekend's forecasts:
Northwestern at Notre Dame:
to score more than once on the
Irish. They punched over three
touchdowns. They likely will do
it again this time
but Notre
Dame will get four, at least.
Notre Dame.
Army at Penn:
The Quakers
have been minus
a
consistent
attack all season.
There's no-
thing in the records to indicate
that
they have
found
it now.
This game pits
two
of
the
country's
best
centers, Chuck
Bednarik of Penn and Army's
Bill Yeoman, against each other.
Army.
Indiana at Michigan: Wolve-
rine reserves have practiced all
week. Even they should be able
to handle the Hoosiers. Michi-
gan.
Southern Methodist at Arkan-
sas:
Doak Walker gives the
Mustangs the edge even if Clyde
Scott plays for Arkansas. South-
ern Methodist.
North Carolina
VS
Maryland:
Statistics say this game in the
Capital City should be the de-
fensive gem of the day.
But
North Carolina will score and
score. North Carolina.
Alabama at Georgia Tech:
The loss to Tennessee last week
has awakened the Engineers.
Georgia Tech.
Dartmouth at Cornell: Each
defeated Columbia by a touch-
down in earlier games. The two
appear as
evenly matched as
they were in 1940 when Dart-
mouth won, 3 to 0.
Dean's
punting and the home field give
the Big Red an edge. Cornell.
Temple at Penn State: That
victory over Penn convinced ev-
eryone that the Nittany Lions
do have sharp teeth. Penn State.
Mississippi vs. Tennessee: Mis-
sissippi lacks its
early season
zest, Tennessee seems
to
grow
stronger week by week. Tennes-
see.
Clemson vs. Wake Forest: An-
other game on a
neutral field,
this one at Winston-Salem. Bob-
by Gage to be the difference!
Clemson.
When Alabama bowed to Tu-
lane 21-20 last season it marked
the first time the Crimson Tide
ever lost a football game by
one
point.
