    Minnesota Out Front. N minnesota, coached by Bernie .IVI Bierman, has been hailed by Midwestern critics as the out standing team of that section, the Big Tens main contender for the national championship, mythical or otherwise. Pitt, already victorious over wash ington and Jefferson, West virginia and Southern California, should sup ply the answer to the question Just how good is Minnesota?” There’s power in that Gopher running attack. but Jock Sutherland’s knack for developing tough-hbered forwards Is TOO well known to need restatement. The Alabama–TennesSee struggle stands out like headlight on the Southern program. Alabama has been rated prime contender for the Southeastern Conference crown from the start of Fall training and the Crimson Tide has shown great power in rolling up 100 points on Howard, 6ewanee and Mississippi State. Sc vance scored the only touchdown against the Tide. Tennessee, rated below par in preseason forecasts, has been a distinct surprise, with a 800 conquest of Centre, 1877 verdict over North Carolina, which last week up set Georgia, and a 27–⁠0 rout of Mississippi, which had been expected to extend the Vols.
