hard fought one. And after Browns
showing against Yale and the tie with
Harvard Hsa the chances are in her faSor od
matched two teams the careers of
which have been very dissimilar. Penn
started out evidently with fair pros
disastrous: Cornell on the other hand
met with two defeats very early. Penn
then had a setback in the Franklin
Marshall game, and from that time
downward career, while Cornell has
been on the upgrade, SO that even with
the well known propensity of Penn
teams to play even beyond themselves

their main rivals at the end of the sea-

tory of year ago.
One Of the fiercest games Of the day
undoubtedly will be that which Is

teams have remarkable possibilities.
Notre Dame has not been doing as well
this season as last year and has suf-
the Army. Syracuse, on the other
hand, has a team better than last sea-
son and has been showing great power.
1t will be q critical and decisive con-
test for both teams. for whichever wins
will thereupon base its position for
rating. while the one that loses must
be content to accept a position rendered
considerably lower proportionately. By
this mean that II Notre Dame defeats
Syracuse then it will be assumed that
the teams that defeated Notre Dame
decisively would have done even more
to Syracuse. If Syracuse. on the other
hand, defeats Notre Dame the reverse
is true. Pittsburgh and Penn State at
fight. although Pittsburgh's record
generally is conceded to give it the
preference for the contest. Penn States
game against Harvard stands in it's
favor, however, and Pittsburgh's close
match with Washington and Jefferson,
an item to be reckoned on the other
side. Altogether this game and the
one between Syracuse and Notre Dame
should be the most important in the
north.
In the south. the University of the
South and Vanderbilt at Nashville and
the University of Virginia and North
Carolina at Richmond are the two
leading ones.
In the east we will see the old rivalry
brought out between Lehigh and La
fayette. Chicago will see similar
rivalry satisfied by contest between
the University of Chicago and Mime
