New York, Nov. 16.-An intersec-
tional game which will bring the
elevens of Michigan and Pennsyl-
vania together at Philadelphia
stands out as the feature contest of
the Eastern college football sched-
ule for tomorrow. While the list
contains several ether matches which
promise to develop close, we'll
played struggles, including the Syra-
cuse-Colgate, Dartmouth Tufts, Pitts
burgh- Carnegie Tech, Cornell-Ford-
ham and Harvard Yale Freshman
meetings, chief interest will center in
the clash of the Quakers and the
Wolverines.
Michigan is certain to be favored
over Pennsylvania, as a result of the
remarkable showing made by the
Yost 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 out
come is not a foregone victory for the
Western eleven. With the possible
exception of the Cornell game, the
contest with Michigan is the most
important one on the Red and Blue
schedule and Coach Folwelfs play
ers can be counted upon to fight to

Game at Philadelphia Hot
With this spirit evidenced by Penn
sylvania and set against the splen-
did machine representing Michigan,
the result should be one of the best
gridiron games of the season. Added
rivalry is given the play by the fact
that the two institutions are tied at
present in victories. Since the ini-
. 4 l., N4a frAV n
sylvania and Michigan have lost
twelve times. Each university has
won five games and lost like num-
ber while two other contests resulted
in ties. In points the Wolverines
lead with ISL to the Quakers.
Another game in which long stand
ing intercollege rivalry will play an
important part is the battle between
Syracuse and Colgate. These two
New York state institutions first met
on the football field as far back as
1891 and in the subsequent years
have played nineteen games, OF
which Colgate has won thirteen and
Syracuse four with two CONTESTS end
ing in tie scores. Colgate has wide
margin in total points for her teams
have piled up an aggregate of 235 to
Syracuse's 1871.
. Other Annual Games
So far as tomorrow's game is con-
cerned Syracuse appears. to have a
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
L.. s,. n mr.
cknell. Syracuse defeated Brown
to 0 and Bucknell AZ to 0. Colgate
lost to Brown to I and from Buck
nell "a to 0. This latter game, the
opening match of the schedule, was1
played on October 13, while Syra-
cuse did not meet Bucknel until
November 10, so that allowance must
be made for improvement in COM
parison of the scores.
In the other Contests in which the
leading elevens of the East will take
part, Cornell will find Fordham
most formidable opponent; Dart
mouth cannot AFFORD TO taKe chances
with Tufts and while the Army and
Navy should win from Lebanon
Valley and Villanova, respectively,
the games cannot be CLASSIFIED as
practice contests. Washington and
jefferson will play West Virginia at
Fairmont, w. Va, and the records
of the two teams clearly indicate
that they are evenly matched. New
England has four interesting games
in the Williams Amherst, Harvard
Yale freshman; the Andover- Exeter
and the Brown Colby contests.
