! Points Scored This

By LOUIS. A. DOUGHER.

Some really big games are scheduled
for many gridirons next Saturday, the
most important. perhaps. being that be.
tween Michigan and Pennsylvania, al
Franklin Field, Philadelphia. or seven
battles between them the Red and Blue
OF old Penn has been triumphant In
four. Michigan has won two. while the
annual clash In 1910 resulted In neither
side scoring.
Michigan started this year with the
nucleus OF a good eleven. Early games
gave every indication that the varsity
team would be fully up to the standard
OF othor Yost machines. When Ohio
state was defeated, IA to 0. at Columbus
Ohio. the supporters OF Michigan began
TO expect an easy victory over Penn
which was already fioundering around IN
the doldrums
Lewis Castle. the speedy Syracuse half
back. ran rings around the Wolverines
and Michigan was beaten IS to l. South
Dakota, team Of giants. but wholly
mnskilled In the finer points of the game
was beaten Saturday at Ann Arbor by
a single goal from touchdown in the la 81
minute of play. There is no Joy a,
Michigan today.
Penn Picking Up.
On the other hand. Penn is picking
up. Though defeated by Penn State 8
veterans Saturday, there were glimmers

Quakers. Penn has had a miserable
season. Swarthmore started the run of
defeats on October Il, winning to 8.
brown swamped the Quakers on the
Following Saturday. 90 to I. Lafayette's \
win, to 3. filled the cup OF misery to
overfiowing. Penn State continued It
last Saturday. Penn Is decidedly out
of the running for the title, and vet
the prestige of the university, combined
with the intersectional flavor of the
contest makes 1t one of the best Of the
year.
Another sectional struggle of peculiar
interest to, this section OF the country
Is the Vanderbilt-Harvard game nt
cambridge. However, Harvards VIC
tory over Princeton seems to foretell
slaughter for the weakened Vanderbilt
eleven. Then. too. the coaches say that
harvard Will use substitute team in
1his game, thereby taking away some
or the drawing power or the game.
Yale Is prlmed for the Brown eleven
and expects. and should, win COM
paratively easy victory. Brown failed

INDIANS VS.. Army.
All New York will hustle up the
