  Mellendick Great Surprise. Manhattan and West Virginia, with Mellendick ever in the thick of things, brought back the Hoya stock bound by bound after it plunged to nowhere through early season defeats. At this writing Georgetown is rated formidable opponent for Maryland where month ago the Terps would have been heavy favorites. Mellendick has made lot of difference. No. body outside of Georgetown ranks thought of him as a passer, but Mel kndick chucked the three aerials in succession that gave Georgetown touchdown from 70 yards out and got . deadlock and moral victory in the scrap with West Virginia. With Marylands sparkling record and Georgetown’s comeback, the Terp- Hoya game is assured a Zig attend ance, no matter what may happen this week when Maryland visits Penn State and Georgetown invades N. Y. u. Georgetown is the home team this time and it has been many years since the Hilltop athletic office has been called upon to handle an advance sale such as the current one. With Maryland, Georgetown and Catholic University playing away this week, the Cards battling Miami University, George Washington has a stage to itself so far as the major Washington teams are concerned. and. with North Dakota State as its opponent, is all set to pull rousing homecoming party, despite that 27–⁠6 defeat by Mississippi last week.

BARKER New York, Nov. 8.-(Pp-The sur prising development of last weeks uncalled-for revolt Of the football underdogs was that the fall of prime favorites caused so little change IN national and sectional championship races OF the is major teams which had boasted undefeated records, only two. Baylor and Temple, were removed from the list. Conference or sectional ratings. except for the southwest where Rice supplanted Baylor in first place, remained virtually unchanged. Nationally here’s how the undefeated list stood Monday: East-Lafayette undefeated and untied; Pitt. Fordham, Dartmouth, Holy Cross, Villanoya and Yale, each tied once. South-Alabama. undefeated and united; Duke. tied once. ddlewest-Nebraska, tied twice. Far West-Santa Clara and Mon tana, undefeated united; California, tied once. This weeks prospects for the lead ing games are about as follows: Panthers Sheer Dynamite East-The principal spotlight falls cE Pitts battle with Nebraska at Pitts burgh. The Panthers were sheer dy- Mantle as Goldberg. stebbins and Patrick smashed through Notre Danes defense in three touchdown, fourth quarter drive that earned Pitt & 2l-6 triumph last week. Nebraska, on the other hand, had to come from behind to gain q 1918 draw with Kansas. Notre Dame will invade the east to give battle to Army. which took advantage Of Harvard tumble in the fourth quarter to pull out a hardly deserved 7–⁠6 decision. Penn, out pointed by Penn State TO, plays Michigan’s Wolverines, who had to score twice in the last four minutes to nose out Chicago 1912. Manhattan, TO upset conqueror OF Detroit, will entertain North Carolina State, which ran up a 26–⁠14 count or Citadel. Boston college, after routing Western Maryland 27–⁠0, plays Kentucky, who spilled South Carolina 27–⁠7. Duquesne, surprised by Carnegie Tech, 26–⁠0, travels to Lubbock to face Texas Tech Thursday, while George Washington. swamped by Mississippi 27–⁠6. plays North Dakota State Friday.

Baylor, victim of a terrific 9–⁠6 defeat by Texas on Hugh Wolfe’s field goal, tackles s. M. U. Texas plays Texas Christian, nosed out by Centenary. 1913. South-Alabama had to resort to q field goal by Sandy Sanford to turn back Tulane 9–⁠6, and found Auburn’s Plainsmen, featuring brilliant line, a challenging menace to its bid for the southeastern conference crown. Auburn thoroughly battered Ten nessee, DOT. Both leaders face rug ged rivals this week. Alabama plays Georgia Tech. Auburn must meet Louisiana States Tigers, who ran up a 40 count on Mississippi State. Duke, which routed Wake Forest, 67–⁠0. tops the southern conference field, with Clemson, Maryland.
