MICHIGAN AND PENN
 '''l TO CLASH SATURDAY
Battle to Be Staged in Philadel- phia With Visitors the FaV0riteS

New York, Nov. 16.-An intersec- sstAonal game which will bring the tSlevens of Michigan and Pennsylvania Together at Philadelphia, stands out as the feature contest of the Eastern college football schedule for tomor row. While the list contains several other matches which promise to de- velop close, well played struggles, in- Guiding the Syracuse Colgate, Dart mouth-Tufts, Pittsburgh Carnegie fTech., Cornell Fordham and Harvard s Yale Freshmen meetings, chief inter est will center in the clash of the Qnakers and the Wolverines.
 Michigan is certain to be favored ever Pennsylvania, as a result of the ' Afomarkable showing made by the sYost combination, but the Philadel- phia collegians have demonstrated their ability to force the strongest teams of the East to play the highest type of football to hold them in check and for that reason the outcome is not . foregone victory for the West ern eleven. With the possible excep- Y ton of the Cornell game, the contest with Michigan Is the most important 9s< aud coach Folwelrs players can be ceun$ed upon to fight to the final \ minute.
 With this spirit evidenced by Penn Aylvania and set against the splendid machine representing Michigan, the result should be one of the best grid 23rDn games of the season. Added z RtiHalry is given the play by the fact fxhnt the two institutions are tied at Apresent in victories. Since the initial Nne in 1899, teams from Pennsyl- mia and Michigan have met twelve 4nes Each university has won five s4mes and lost a like number while two other contests resulted in ties. In pefnts the Wolverines lead with 151 { to the Quaker. 101. --.
 Another game in which long stand \ inE intercollegiate rivalry will play an Important part is the battle between aSyrAeuse and Colgate. These two New York state institutions first met nnat11ea football field as far back as 1891 and in the subsequent years have played nineteen games, of which Col a gate has won thirteen and Syracuse four, with two contests ending in tie ' scores. Colgate has a wide margin in total poiats s.ker. i1,ar..ssteams have piled up an aggregate of 235 to Syra- < cuse's 137
 So far as tomorrow's game Is con- cerned Syracuse appears to have @ slight edge over Colgate on the sea- sons record but this contest will be the last of the year for the Hamilton team and while it will be played at Syracuse, the visiting combination can be counted upon to force the play and pace from the very beginning of the struggle. Both elevens have met two mutual rivals in Brown and Buck nell! Syracuse defeated Brown to 0 3 and Bucknell AZ to O.. Colgate won from Brown07 to6 and from Buck nell 24~to 0! This latter game, the opening match of the schedule, was played on October 13, while Syracuse S did not meet Bucknell until Nov. 10, % that allowance must be made for 2 improvement in a comparison of the scores..
 In the other contests in which the \ leading elevens of the East will take part, Cornell will find Fordham a < most formidable opponent; Dart mouth cannot afford to take chances 1. with Tufts and while the Army and Navy should win from Lebanon Val < ley and Viilanova. respectively, the games cannot be classified as practice contests. Washington and Jefferson will play West sKirg gansa at Fairmont W. Va., and tfeS records of the two teams clearly Indicate that they are svunly matched. New England has cpur interesting games in the Will llams-Anherst, 'Harvard-Y fresh mon: the Andover- Exeter and the Brown-Colby contests.
