  Coaches Jobs Are in Jeopardy AT Eastern, Southern Colleges Detroit by a touchdown and Villanova beat Detroit by five. Tulsa lost to Florida by 40 to 7 and Florida beat Furman last week by only an extra point. Tulsa lost to Texas Tech and last week to Wichita. Yet Villanova. which has beaten impressively six major opponents, lost to Tulsa on Villanova’s home field. Kentucky. which was sup posed to beat Southern Meth odist two weeks ago and be in line for all kinds of bowl bids. may lose another one this week-to Xavier of Cincinnati. If it doesn’t. you can reach Chubb Connolly at his Silver Spring home or at the Federal Trade Commission. Connolly is an avid sports fan, American Legion baseball promoter, etc.. who moved here 10 or more years ago from Gin cinnati. He spends the foot ball seasons singing the praises Of Xavier. the University Of Cincinnati and Dayton, claim ing it’s better football than the fans here realize. or better than they see. Several years ago when one Of Georgetown’s good teams went to Cincinnati and lost to “breather” Xavier. 14–⁠6, Conmolly made a small killing. Last year it was the U. of Gin natl that knocked Tulane out of the Sugar Bowl, holding the Green Wave to a 60 score in the next to last game. Last week Kentucky only beat u. Of c., 14–⁠7. This week Kentucky plays Xavier and the latter is unbeaten, united and was the first college team in three years to beat the Quantico Marines.
