The greenness Of new men has wora

coordination. In other words, GENTLE
men, no albis will be accepted with
to-day's defeats.
For tho reason that IL brings near

many experts believe Is the strongest
In the country to-day, the Pittsburgh
Pennsylvania game will DO widely fol-
lowed.
An Impressive Showing
Thus far this season Glenn Warmers
eleven from the Smoky City has played
the most impressive football OF any
team In the East, and, barring miracles,
the sons Of william Penn will take
drubbing this afternoon by score
equally as large as that Of last season,
when Folwelrs team lost TO Pittsburgh,
20 TO 0.
Warner will pit against the Red and
Blue seasoned line, behind which is
a dynamic backfeld composed of Nc
Laren, yesterday, Gougler and MeCiel-
land as an Offset for the one-man Of
fence which, after the pattern Of the
immortal Coy or Brickley, has been
built around Howard Berry, the brill
iant fullback of the Quakers.
The superior balance OF the Pitts
burgh squad, its more firmly estab-
lishcd team identity and its previous
record point toward a sure victory, yet
Penn has planned to die hard Folwel
has been executing heroics with his
line this week, the Penn backheld has
cohesion and rover in its attack, and
against a team only less able than
Pitt the Red and Blue would likely be
q winner
Two heretofore undefeated elevens
will lock horns at Providence, where
Colgate goes to meet Brown. From a
competitive angle this game may OUT
do the Penn-Pitt contest. Colgate has
made a splendid record this season,
and il will be recalled that the New
York State collegians last year took
the Providence team into camp by a
score OF % to 0, a sea Of mud assisting
, in bringing Brown to a stop.
So far this season Brown has piled
up total Of "a points, as against her
opponents I'm three games-while
Colgate, with AZ points 10 her credit,
has kept her goal line unsullied. COL
gates easy defeat of Cornell last Sat-
day was an indication OF the teams
intrinsic strength.
Three Local Games
There are to be three interesting
games in the metropolitan district.
Williams takes on Columbia, Rutgers
meets Fordham, and Union faces New
York University.
On comparative scores the Blue and
White has a corking chance against
Williams in the South Field matinee,
but the modern student has ceased TO
be deceived by comparative scores, and
Williams will await the referees
whistle a fayorite.
Columbia beat Union more decisive
ly than Williams which took only
one-touchdown margin from the
Schenectady eleven--but the man who
was largely instrumental in enabling
Columbia to wallop the upstaters has
been called into service. He, of course,
is Howard Miller, who dropped two
field goals against Union and got tho
Blue and White off to flying start.
Much has been written this season Of
Fordham's chance 10 defeat Rutgers,
and it is generally conceded that "Bulp
Mcoafrey's men have chance to take
the boys from the banks of the Raritan.
Rutgers lost to Syracuse and won its
most impressive victory from Lafay-
cite, which is weak. But Foster SAM

this afternoon.
New York University will have 20
hustle to defeat Union, this in spite OF
the upstaters' bloomer against Column

be playing sub-normal football, and il
the visitors play up to their looks this
afternoon they will make it lively for
the Violet, which tossed OFF a tough
game TO Wesleyan last Saturday.
Syracuse and Tufts furnish another
gridiron feature, and the grim fight the
former made against Pittsburgh last
Saturday indicates that il will take a
decision from the team which was
trimmed 20 to 3 by the Army one week
ago.
The Navy will meet Haverford this
afternoon. and from the fearful beating
Gil Dobie's men gave the Carlisle Ind
ians it is evident Annapolis is going
great guns. The Army will touch %
Nillanova for what looks like merely a
practice game, though injuries will
force the service eleven TO use several
substitutes.

defeat Of West Virginia looms up as one
