New York. NOV. s.---Really big
games viii. pa few on somorrow's foot
ball schedule. In the East. the Penn
dartmouth. the Ptttsbnrg- w ashington
and Jefferson, the Army-Cariisie and
the Navy-Georgetown contests will at
tract most attention. In the West the
big game will be the Michigan
clash at Ann Aroor. The Ohio State
Wisconsin, the Nebraska Missouri and
the lowa-South Dakota contests vii!
draw lesser interest.
The Dartmouth and the penn teams
look to be fairly we'll matched The
big Green team under the handling
al its new coach. Fatty Spears, has
won all It's games this season. although
1T defeated West Virginia last week
with only fieIo goal made in the final
three minutes play Like all former
teams, Dartmouth this year has a
powerful ofense, espeeis lly in the
rushing game, and under Spears has
developed brilliant forward passing
assault. In the line IL Is both husky
and aggressive.
The big Hanover eleven misses this
year the superb coaching of Frank
Cavanaagh,. who directed the team for
many years, Hs is now in govern
meat war service. Although rated as
one of the best coach - in the ceun-
try, some kind Of jiax always pursued
his teams. This was particularly true

were always bitterly contested, Fol-
los rs ~ tcutaau stttt distinctly re-
remember the clash with Princeton.
in which thu Tigers won, when De-
witt kicked held goal which bumped
into the sod several times before Il
finally landed over the cross bar after
a tortuous furty-seveu yard trip. This
year Dartmouth ls hoping that the
INK has departed.
Penn has shown exceptional strength
this year. She showed fighting at
tack and defense against Pittshurg
which, although Il did not bring vie
tory. indicated that the eleven had the
spirit necessary 10 com bat a powerful
eleven. and at least one star in. Berry

guess ware to be ha1ardad 1t would
incline To Penn's ability to hold the
Dartmouth line and to produce a va
ried enough attack to shove a man
or two over the goal line.
The DECENTRALIZATION and jefferson
contest promises to he bitter, with
tho oacs in favor Of G!enn Warmers
. we'll balanced and perfectly trained
bunch of fighters 1t will be strange
II the dereaness of this battle does not
result In many suhstitutions and In
some drastic rulings off the field.
The Army will probably como back
from its defeat by Notre Dame with a
spirit that will overwhelm Carlisle,
which IL hardly up to old standards
this season. The Cadets are always
strong In adversely. The Navy will
have formidable opponent in
Georgetown, which is a steadily tru =
proving. eleven. but here again the
lighting spirit OF the Aiddtes is likely
10 smother any dangerous moves by
the district university.
The annual clash of Michigan and
Cornell looks easy this wear for the
Western team. II has shown Won
derful scoring ability, and it's follow
ers say Ii is out this year to roll M
clean slate OF Victories and a record
In high scores Cornell has shown
nothing SO far. to indicate that 1t has
anything but an ordinary team 1t
may uncover surprise. but the
chances are slim.
Ohio State is this year a candidate
for Western champion and will play
ita fiercest against Wisconsin tomor-
row I'm order TO keep it's record clear.
n has displayed steady Improvement
all year. Its attack is powerful, it's
defense is strong, and II 10 now APP
preaching the appearance of an eleven
that works together with great
smoothness and variety Of play,
Nebraska looks TO be more than a
match for Missouri. while Iowa and
South Dakota should show q fairly
even game.
