There is one thing that will favor the
northerners. and that Is the open work
for which it is noted. Georgetown has
been weak In its defense against forward
passes. and it may be that the Penn
sylvanians will slip one over for a
touchdown that will be enough to win,

because Coach Nielsen has built a

Taking everything into consideration.
it would seem that the teams are about
evenly matched, except in weight, ana
In this department the Lehigh eleven
has something on the III, Hiiis t;top s.
pretty apt to put up the fight of the
year in an effort to give brilliant sea-
son a fitting ending. Lehigh is more
than likely suffering from the hard game
Saturday. 1t was its big game and no
eleven goes through the main event OF
the year without falling of somewhat
in its work for q few days afterward, as
both the mental and physical strain Is SO
great that a relapse must come.
Down in Norfolk A. and NJ. will cross
swords with v. p. l. in contest that
will have much bearing on the south
Atlantic championship claimants this
year. Whichever team wins will undoubt-

that team is defeated by Lehigh today.

there are any who think that V. r. l.
will get away with the North Carolina
eleven easily. if at all, they are very
much mistaken.
Judging by the numerous defeats that
have been Cardinals PORTION this sea-
son, it would seem that Virginia should
have an easy time winning from that
team. today, but it Is conceded by Viz
ginia adherents that the game will be
played on more even terms than for some
years BY COMMUNICABLE scores made by
each team against v. M. L. 1t looks all
in favor of the Virginians. as the Tar

vile eleven rolled up %.
While 1t would probably be a big sur
prise, 1t is more than possible that Cor

Franklin Field. That 1s-to-0 game against
Chicago has given the Ithaca team
lot of confidence in itself. just what Cor
nell has always needed when It went
against the Quakers.
