the most dangerous opponents of the
 day.
 The Army will figure in one inter
 sectional game. meeting Notre Dame
 While West Point is admitted to be
 stronger than a year ago, the Indiana
 collegians this fall have scored 182
 points in four games, without being
 scored upon, and reports from the
 middle west indicate that the team is
 fully as formidable as 12 months ago. The Navy faces the Washington and
 Lee eleven, which the Army defeated
 Oct. T by a score of IA to 2. For the
 sailors to lose to the invaders would
 make the cadets favorites for the an nual clash only three weeks away.
 Colgate will go to New Haven in an
 attempt to repeat it's 1915 victory over
 the Blue, but the New York state
 team will find Yale an entirely differ
 ent proposition from that of a year
 ago.. Both teams have shown that
 they are above the ordinary this sea- son. Neither has been defeated, al- though scored upon, and while they analysis of their records leads to the
 opinion among football followers that
 Yale is likely to triumph by a narrow.
 margin.
 Both Princeton and Pennsylvania
 have drawn comparatively weak op-
 ponents, and each eleven should win without being obliged to display ad- vanced play. The Tigers will be op-i
 posed by Bucknell, which has won but.
 two out of six games. Penn State, Cornell and Muhlenburg all conquered BuckneIl without difficulty. Pennsy1- Vania will face Lafayette, whose rec lord indicates a fairly easy victory for the QuakerS.
 Much interest will attach to the Harvard Virginia game in view of the fact that Yale defeated the southern team 61 to earlier in the season. Georgia and Vanderbilt have also won from Virginia, but in every contest the Charlottesville eleven has played hard football and been able to score. It is doubtful if Harvard will run. up as game against Princeton only a week away. The Crimson, however should always hold the upper hand, ever though using it's players sparingly. Cornell will line up against Carnegie Tech and as the visitors are above the ordinary in strength, speed and strat- egy, the contest should be close, with the Ithaca eleven having the edge. The powerful Pittsburgh gridiron machine should have little difficulty in subdu- | ing Allegheny.
 !! The contest between Syracuse and Dartmouth is likely to develop into a thrilling football battle, as both teams have shown remarkable playing abil- ; ity, although lacking at times the con-
 sistency needed to round out a win ming eleven.
 Early in the season both teams started off with what appeared to be an almost Irresistible attack, but the breaks of that play turned against them in recent contests. Each pos sesses great potential power and, with the machine working smoothly, Is a gridiron team that asks no odds of any eleven in the country. The more important games in the
