PLAY AT HOME TOMORROW

last three years. Tho Virginia Military
Institute, coached by Abel. former Col
gate tacF1e, uses the same play with
great success. 1t is a play which II not
fathomed by the coach, and tho defense
prepared to meet 1t. will gain ground
consis emily against heavier and
stronger teams.
Bucknell may give Cornell quite n
battle at Ithaca The former has been
showing good form this year and the
latter is far below its usual strength
Judging by PENNSYLVANIA ~ mediocre
play SO far, the annual clash Thanks
giving day between Penn and Cornell
may be a case of which is the worse
instead of which is the better.
Fordham and Rutgers are due to en-
gage each other at New York in con-
good foot ball These elevens rank
with the strongest combinations in the
east and should put up one of the best
contests of the whole year. Any team
that defeats either of these teams has
to go at quite d rapid gait.
Gallaudet's team goes to Chester to
try conclusions with the Pennsylvania
Military College. The game should be
contested pretty evenly, p. NJ C. and
Gallaudet usually having teams OF
a bout the same caliber Coach Moore
has been shifting his players about in
order to get the best positions possible
for each, and he figures to place bet
ter combination against the PennSyl-
vanians than has represented the Ken
dali Greeners in any previous contest
Tufts goes up to Syracuse to meet
been showing the strength this year
that 1t did last. and probably will not
stand much chance of securing a
victory. If the game with Pittsburgh
last week left Syracuse In poor condi-
ton and unable to put it's best foot
first tomorrow. then Tufts stands a
fair chance to get the victory, but
otherwise II hardly can expect to get
the long end of the score.
Down at Annapolis the Navy will run
up as many points against Haverford
as 1t cares. The Quaker school is
much weaker than in any of the last
three or four seasons, and at its best
cope with the combination which rep
resents the Midshipmen during this
year.
Chicago meets Northwestern Uni
versity at Chicago. Judging by the poor
showing of the latter against Ohio
State some time ago. it stands little
chance to take the measure of. Stages
eleven.
What ought to be the big game of the
east is scheduled at Philadelphia be
tween Penn and Pitt. Folwells eleven
seems to be due for another beating
at the hands of Glen Warmers COM
bination. Pitt has been showing all
kinds Of defensive and offensive
strength. but the Penn eleven has yet
to evidence anything like the capabii
tiles it developed at times last season.
If Pitt beat Penn by three touchdowns
a year ago the probabilities are it will
get the long end of the count by al
most. if not quite, as big a margin
again tomorrow
out in the middle west by far the
biggest game is that in which the Uni
versity OF Nebraska is to meet Mich
igan at Ann Arbor. Years ago the RI
valry between Michigan and Nebraska
was exceedingly keen. and now that the
competition between the two universi-
ties again is opening up there prob
ably will be just as much desire on
the part of each to demonstrate su-
periority.
