    Costello Pick S Hoyas TOWN Continued from First Sports Page) hard one every step Of the way. Michigan, My Michigan. 8.-Davidson-C Citadel. Here Is one for the book. Last year they were matched just as they are this year and the game ended Tall. One Of those games so even Stephen that you toss a coin. My coin says Davidson. 9.-Pitt-Notre Dame. Now I ask you, who could pick the winner OF this one. Pitt will be tough after that defeat by Duquesne. The Irish always are tough. A bit feebly: Notre Dame. 10 Marquette Michigan State. A classic. One of the days great games. Attack against attack. Mar quette tripped State last year, but 1 doubt that Frank Murray’S team can do it this year. Michigan State. IL. acknowledgements. Holy Cross scored one touchdown against Dartmouth to win the game. Harvard will improve this week. This game annually is close. Dartmouth won last year, IA to 0. The Green should win this year, too. Tech Has Edge 12.-Texas Tech-Centenary. AS you know, Texas Tech tripped Texas Christian, 7 to 0. Centenary lost to Tulane but won over Bay lor which beat Texas. The gents also tied Arizona at 13-all. A tough, hard game. Since it is played at Lubbock, I’ll take Tech. 13.-Fordham-St. Mary’S. Re member last years battle? Another is in prospect. The 1885 affair ended 7 to 7. Fordham seems to play its best football Of the year against the GaelS. It’s a tosS-up, but since a winner must be chosen, I’ll take Fordham and pray. IA. - Hamilton-Rochester. Two bad teams. It’s just a guess any way, so I’ll take Rochester. 15.-W st ern Maryland st. Mary’s, Of Texas. The Texas lads will be at their best this week end.
