tribe should prove strong enough to
vanquish the New Englanders. then
Dartmouth's title to the championship
will receive a decided set back.
Great Back Field.
In welch, Guyon, Bracklin. and Calac,
the Indians are equipped with back
held that comes closer to Harvards
sensational combination than any other
set OF backs in the country. welch and
Guyon are particular stars of the aggre-
CATION. WEIGH. for his generalship and
open field playing, and Guyon for his
defensive and liner rplunging qualities.
The ends and rush line are OF more
than average ability. but the real
strength of the Redmen rests in their
back field.
Dartmouth. on the other hand, is one
Of the best balanced elevens that has
made appearance II the gridiron In a
number of years. Their back field shines
not only as a plunging organization but
one that is capable of playing a re-
markable game. Whitney. Curtess. Muir
dock. Snow. Vhe, and Eleweyn, are
combination hard to beat for all-around
ability.
Capt. Hogaott, Loudon. and Lafforty.
at the ends. as well as McAulif, Purdith,
Beers. Dunbar, and Colby IN the rush
line, are players that could prove their
worth on any field.
Harvard Ii strong.
Harvard, in Brown, will not meet any
too worthy an opponent. The wonderful
machine that Houghton has perfected at
Cambridge. should not experience any
trouble in making the score anything
that the coaches wish.
Army, in VillanoYa, as well as Cornell.
in Lafayette, should be able to add to
their prestige by substantial scores The
Navy, in Penn State, will be called
upon to show a little OF that real fight
ing spirit that they have not been called
upon to show to date. Nevertheless, the
Middies should find themselves on the
big side Of the final score.
Saturday Pennsylvania will travel to
Ann Arbor to give battle TO Coach Hurry
Up Yosts' chargers. This game will be
watched with a great amount of in
terest by the experts throughout the
country for two reasons: first. because
of the clashing of an Eastern and West
ern eleven, and, second, because OF II
being George Brooke's first attempt to
up-lift Old Penn and once again place
her on the football map.
The game should be replete with SEN
football; especially should this
be true from the spectators point Of
view. as both teams win no doubt re-
sort to the open style game.
Forward Pas.es Good.
Penn has perfected a number Of for
ward passes that are said to be re-
velations. Marshall, Capt. Young. Boil
ger, and Minds, as well as the ends and
are to be called upon to make
this style Of game a success.

lineup has added an extra amount OF
to the teams play and this,
combined with the fight that they are
sure to put up on their own field, Is J
going to help the Michigan aggregation |
retrieve some Of that prestige that they |
lost early in the season at the hands of
the ''Aggies."
Illinois and Purdue at Urbana, Kansas |
and Nebraska at Lawrence Minnesota |
and Chicago at Minneapolis, Missouri |
and Drake at Columbus, as well as
Notre Dame and Wabash at Crawford |
Vile, are contests that should attract |
thousands of followers of the game.
In the South the annual Georgetown
Virginia struggle at Washington is sure |
TO bring out a record breaking crowd |
for this locality.
To date the Virginians look to have |
4 slight advantage over the Washing
ton aggregation. but as this annual 1
lffair between these old time rivals al |
ways proves to be a closely contested |
battle. the winner will be in doubt until /
he final whistle. In Capt. Costello, |
Possesses a player who has /
lew superiors in the quarter back posi-
ion.
Kentucky State and Marshall at Lex
ngton and Vanderbilt and Auburn at /
should also prove high
lass games.
