1t begins 70 look as if the Michigan
Harvard game would eommsnd more
interest than seemed possible after the
defeat Of the former az Syracuse last
Saturday. Yost promises 20 bring
much stronger team East this time, RS
Hughitt, :he hesdy, sensational quar-
teFbsck, has been called so pcr cent
o; the tesms' strength, and il is said
now that Hughitt will face Harvard.
There IL the chance, of course. that
his stiff elbow will lessen his efIici-
eney, but his strongest qualification Is
the ability TO drive his team and d.
rect the offensive campaign. This
asset was sadly missed by Michigan
at Syracuse, and probably made all
the difference in the world.
Yhilo the hopes of Michigan men
have risen once more, conditions az
! Harvard also look brighter. Percy D.
HsUghton 10 nov in = position. from
AL accounts. 20 put his strongest
available team in the field, If needs
. must.
Frank Hinkey is getting ready for
the Colgate game on Saturday By
sending bis Yale players against the
tsekling dummy, and is looking ahead
% the Brown game, the week follow
1ng, By sending Wilson, AinswOrth and
lie Gore down 10 Providence 20 watch
their prospective opponents in prsc-
tiee.
Is II possible that this courtesy was
extended IS & reproseh 20 the secret
practice bogie:
James c. Isaminger, Of "The Phila-
delphia North American" says: "To
Yale W. and y stand for 'walloped'
and jolted.'"
Somebody else in the same paper
says: Pennsylvania State, Pittsburgh
and Princeton share the distinction OF
being the only undefested Big teams
n the East"
How have the mighty fallen. Down
n Pennsylvania. Harvard, unbesten in
three seasons, IS not even classed
among the Big teams Of the East, und
the Army eleven at West Point also is
relegGted 70 8 minor position.
Speaking OF unbeaten teams this year
here are TWO right here in the metro
politsn dis;rict-New York University
aud FordhaM-whilc Union College. At
Schenectady, and Washington and Lee.
az Lexington, Va, are the only others
50 FAR rs the records obtainable show. .
Fhich can boast e clean string Of VIC
tories.
one year ago New York University
not only failed 10 win a single game,
bit failed TO score a single point. The
metsmorphosi5 has been complete. This /,
eleven or Union must drop back into ,
'ho beaten class on Saturday, as they
will DO battle az Schenectady. The
teams are renewing football relations .
after q lapse OF several years. and the
outlooE is bright for q close, hard
fought game.
OF course, In roofing Tor Union
It's M own oail.wich.
20 wonder Captain Whitney Of Dart
moQta Was bit crratic in the Prince
.on game on Saturday. Il turns out
nat he played in only one short scrim-
mage o. three minutes from October
g % October Is. This fact was closely
guarded, but finally leaked out. Train
ing on the side lines for q hard game
% not the best training in the world.
Time was when the Yale school was
considered the best in the football
world FOR coaching purposes, but the
Pennsy Nania school IS now coming 20
che front in leaps and bounds. Bill
Hollenback, coach Of the Penn State
eleven, which played Harvard 20 s tie
on Saturday, and Bob Folwell, coach
Of the Washington and Jefferson team,
which beat Yale, are former Pennsyl-
vSnis players.
Mike Avery, the Pennsylvania half
back, seems 70 be the Moose" McCor-
mick Of football. As d pinch hitter
n Mccormick is famous. while Avery gets
81 IN games Just about long enough 10 win
y them. He was q leading factor In
PENIS ylvanis's victories over the Navy
and the Indians. In the former game
lie intercepted a forward pass and ran
Hixty-tye yards for q touchdown; in
the latter he went in late and launche ed
the forward pass which spelled 7 20 Q.
