New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-11-06

A game in New York between them,
with the receipts donate TO war hu'
manitarian purposes. would draw tire
mendously. II would also afford the
opportunity for an important eompari-
con OF Eastern and Western gridiron
technique.
The University Of Michigan, II s.
passes the remaining milestones Of its
schedule successfully, will be In Pc
sition to controvert Ohio States su-
periority. Even so, o. S. U. would be
the lineal heir to the Western crown,
for the reason that it is of the Western
family-the "Big Ten"-from which
Michigan is q self-elected outcast.
In the Esst-assuming Sol Mergers
Washington and Jefferson team doesn't
trim Pitt aturday-Dartmouth will
probably remain as tho only eleyGn
with documentary evidence 70 rcfute
the Panthers' claim TO the Eastern IL
tie. The only line of comparison be-
tween these two teams has been IN
their West Virginia games. PIT
trimmed the Mountaineers, IA 70 9. IN
the fist game of The season, while
Fat Spears Hanoverians took TO
verdict away from the Travellers two
weeks ago.
Non-Playing Comparisons
Another chance for non-playing SOM
pariscn will be provided after Sstur-
days clash between Pitt and washing
ton and jefferson. The Presidents de.
feated Penn State one week ago, to ..
Dartmouth took a 10 20 verdict from
the Pcnnsylvanians Saturday. II PIT
decisively wins from Washington and
jefferson. which beat Penn State by
greater margin than Dartmouth could,
The comparative score method viii in
dicate that Glenn Warmers team IS IN
the Fast supreme.
It is all very well to chide compare
tive scores and declare they mean
nothing-but until football schedules
have the completeness Of baseball
charts they are the only thing that
furnishes working hypothesis for
gridiron heraldry.
Sol Metzger believes Wash-Jef has n
corking chance TO take the Painters
in next Saturdays game. His eleven
is swinging along in first class shape,
and the mentor of the Presidents
thinks his men will overcome the dis
advantages of greater weight and the
fact that Pitt invariably plays a moro
finished game upon its home field than
abroad
Metzger attended the Army-Notre
Dame game Saturday, and incidentally
had high praise for the Indiana line,
which held IT'S beefier opponents or
even ter1ns.
"T he war has played hob with foot
bal at Washington ard Jefferson"
said Metzger, "but. fortunately for US,
II has affected the general training
conditions more than the personnel
Of the varsity team. Only twenty-nine
men responded 20 the call for football
this season, and often less than twenty
are able TO attend practice. That pre-
cludas scrimmage and retards the de-
velopment Of the team. In spite OF
that, my boys played lot OF football
against Perm State. and will make
Warmers team hustle"
Ono Of Fielding II. Yost's football
elevens once scored more than 1000
POINTS during the course of O single
season. 1t was not indicted by grand
jury.
The Eastern eleven that seems striv-
ing 10 emulate the point-a-minute era
Of Yost's salad days is the Navy, which
thus far has scored n total Of 33 points
to its opponents seven. Dobie's eleven
does not believe in sparing the rod and
spelling the record.
Only One Defeat
II Is the irony OF fate that the in
.ignifcant seven points Tailed against
the Middies represent the only defes'
thew have sustained this season-thet
at the hands Of West Virginia.
Il was after this defeat that Doble's
machine began It's weekend wrecking
parties. Maryland State was beaten
f2 to o; Carlisle scalped, 81 70 o;
Haverford. SO 10 0, and Western Re
serve, IS TO O. II may be that the Army
Is we'll off without Navy game on IT,
schedule this season.
In the next two weeks the University
NJ Michigan takes on Cornell and Penn.
Cornell goes West Saturday, while
Michigan comes 10 Philadelphia T.
meet Penn on November II. Cornell
has lost TO both Williams and Colgate
6nd does not figure to beat Michigan.
The Wolverines, il will be remembered.
defeated Nebraska 20 to 0, team
which was strong enough to defeat
Notre Dame, which beat the Army
TO O..
Notre Dame showed a we'll balanced
well drilled eleven Saturday that wss
. credit to her coach, Jess Harper. Blu
n was not a remarkable team, and the
indications are that the University OF
Michigan is the better OF the two.
While Cornell is trudging over rocky
road this season Pennsylvania should
give Michigan a memorable battle.
