important games being scheduled for
local gridirons. Fordham and George

The Fordham-Georgetown clash looms

bition OF football. With a victory over
Dartmouth to its credit. Georgetown
must be classed with the topnotchers.
The game presents a test twice as se-

Georgetown looks about two
t~ouchdowns better than Fordham.
While Georretowu has been getting
better with every game and got the ben

ton as Dartmouth, FordhGm has been
feeding on small FISH and has not been
given anything even resembling n severe
tryout. Fordham has not played since

Odds Favor Columbia.
Georgetown comes here with quite an
aggregation OF stars. among whom IL
Johnny Gllroy. a back who has been
compared with Chuck Barrett and Eddie
Mahan. Gilroy IL not Yet a Mahan, but
he proved far too much for Fordham
last year. Not in the las; eight years
has Fordham been able to beat George
town. and with the latter outweighins
the locals ten pounds to the man IN ad-
dition to other apparent superiority, the
task OF the Maroon is no enviab!e one
Andy Dempsey. with Georgetown last
and now AZ Fordham. is not slated
TO star. the game.
The ODDS in the Columbla-Sievens
game favor Columbia. The Hoookeh
ENGINEERS are very light and In addition
are handicapped by the loss Of four first
string backs-Webb. whose kicking
bothered columbia a lot last year Mar
shall, peghuee and Bloss. Capt Miodle-
ton will not be able to play his position

E.s, Task for n. Y. u.
c~olurbia's lineup was yesterday
changed. Donaldson was sent BACK 10
lef, guard, Raegener returning TO the
reserves. Brown again went IN az ceh'fe,
COCHRAN will start at right etd anu
Dunn at right ~halfback. an exchange OF
positions that yesterday appeared TO
work out well. !. T. Rosen Will start
at fullback and McCabe Will run the
team.
New York University should have an
easy time with Buckneil. which evil

IL made up its schedule, Last Saturday
Bucknell was banged up by Princeton
Five Bucknell men were knocked out,
several were severely injured ana al
were put in no shape Tor another en-
COUNTER as early as to-day. BucKneU al
its best would ave had its hands full
with the locals. but in its weakened
state the Pennsylvania eleven Is likely
to be mauied all over Ohio Field.
Coach Eus,is yesterday made a few
changes in the y. Y. Z. lineup. Ted
Cann will start at a tackle and Mooney
will GO in at centre. Warman and Capt.
Bernstein reported strong enough to 70.
sumo their back field duties.
solomon Was Right.
Last Saturday Virginia worked a
schoolboy trick against Harvard and II
fooled the wise Johnnies, too. After
receiving the kickoff that opened the
second half virginia worked a long
lateral pass just as the receiver OF the
kick was about to be owned. lie threw
II out far to the end and the latter ran
nearly twenty yards before he was
tackled.
Verify there Is little under the sun
that is new. even In football among the
big elevens. Before the Notre Dame
Army game last Saturday one OF the
Notre Dame players told us that his
team had a play that would make the
Cadets look foolish. We waited with
bated breath and soon were rewarded
with a sight OF the wonderful trick.
Guess what 1t was? Nothing else but
Glenn Warmers ancient criss-cross. used
so ably by the Carlisle Indians in the
days OF, old and now being worked by
| Warmers Pittsburg eleven. The Army
did not fall for the criss-cross and
Bergman was tackled for a loss. One
of the Notre Dame l!nemen gummed up
the play.
