SHU should have little trouble in taking a decision from the once-de feated Missouri eleven. However, re ports reach us that Matty Bell isn't looking any too happy these dsys w he may be displeased with this wesk’i prospects. Missouri, which shared last year’s Big Six honors with Oklah< is better this year with a faster and more versatile line and probably some thing in the backfieW.

Pitt was just about up to the Illinois last week, but will be more prepared this weekend. The Irish had better be ready for this one. Kanaaa should have little trouble running over Iowa State.
