FOOTBALL Is AT
THE FINAL STAGE
GAMES SATURDAY WILL PRACTl-
CALLY DETERMINE CHAM
PIONSHIPS IN BOTH EAST
AND WEST.

New York, Nov. 15.-fastern foot
bah has reached its final stage, and
the experts are beginning TO dope out
the winner Of the big four" contest.
Yale has the edge, they think, though
! Princeton is close at her heels. The
real championship game this year, they
add, will be the Yalc-Princcton game
at New Haven next Saturday, and
not the Yale Harvard game in Cam
bridge on Saturday week. Princeton
Ialready has defeated Harvard and
should the Tigers take Yale into camp,
the sons of old Nassau would be hailed
as the seasons champions. 1t is true
that Princetons victories over Har-
Ward and Dartmouth have been by
small margins and the Tigers were
tied by Lehigh and the Navy but a
Victory over the Blue on Saturday
would give her the championship by a
marrow margin
Yale, however, will be the favoritc
lin the Tiger game. The Ellis have lost
lonly one game-to Army on a field so
Isoggy and under conditions SO adverse
THAT it can be called little more than
a luke defeat. Harvard, experts say
has been practically counted out al
} though a victory over Yale on Nov,
25 would do much to redeem her.
outside the big four" there are sew
eral teams that merit attention. Car
Ihslc which defeated Harvard, and Ar
lmy, which defeated Yale, may lay some
lclaim to championship honcrs, not hay

The Gophers have a team that COM
blnes weight with speed. The Wiscon-
sin team, as yet, has not really been

calculations may be upset when the
two teams meet. Certainly great
battle win result.
Michigan and Penn.
Notwithstanding the fact that botl
teams have suffered defeat great in

vanias three defeats put her out of

but the coaches have made no secret

Michigans development has like
wise been gradual process, but the
Wolverines have been beset by many
injuries and were not at their best for
either the Syracuse or Cornell games.
While the team still has an excep-
tionally heavy hospital list, there are
many who believe that Yost will un-
cork all OF his special plays next sat
urday and that the Wolverines will
redeem themselves. The game is the
only intersectional contest scheduled
FOR Saturday and is the most import
