Gophers and Stanford Hot Look Like Potential Champions Again
BY HERB BARKER
NEW YORK, Sept. 29 (AP)-
Put down Minnesota and Stanford in your football book once more as potential champions and, even at this early date, figure on keeping close watch on Tulane, Duke, Texas, Navy, Georgetown and Notre Dame.
And don't waste any tears on Harmon-less Michigan.
Defeat for some of these may be no farther away than this week but the finger points to them on the basis of their exploits on the first big program of the new season. Dozens of other major teams will make their 1941 bows this week and a radical revision of the list probably will be in order.
DUKE VS TENNESSEE
Faced with the sternest test of all are Wallace Wade's Duke Blue Devils. Victorious over Wake Forest, 43-14, the Blue Devils now must face Tennessee at Durham in the game that may decide whether or not Duke is to finish with a perfect slate.
Minnesota, rated the No. 1 team in the country last year started off a new campaign last week by whipping Washington's Huskies, Pacific Coast power, 14-6, as Bruce Smith scored both Gopher touchdowns and generally comported himself like the All-American he is touted to be. Minnesota will be idle this week but Stanford, which just got past tough Oregon, 19-15, thanks mainly to All-America quarterback Frankie Albert, will play U. C. L. A.'s Bruins. U. C. L. A., a tough luck team a year ago, beat Washington State, 7-6, in its opener.
TULANE LOOKS GOOD
Tulane looked tremendous in an easy 21-7 conquest of Boston College, Sugar Bowl champions and an unbeaten, untied array in 1940. Next opponent for Tulane is Auburn.
Notre Dame, uncovering a fine passer in Angelo Bertelli during
