Big football. and plenty of It. will be !,
served up for followers of the sport this
afternoon. and before the sun sets to-
night at least two more big elevens will
have taken the count as 'far as the
1919 race is concerned-other big ones |
may be thrown In their games against
lesser opponents. Never before in the
history of the sport have so many big
games been contested so early in the
| season.
The schedule Is featured by the Col
gate-Cornell tilt which has grown into
classic In recent years. The game will
be played In Ithaca, and 1t Is expected
that the capacity of schoelkopf Field
will be taxed, since this Is Cornell's only
big home game this year.
Colgate enters the game 7 to 10
choice among those inclined to wager,
end the odds Just about represent the
difference in the two teams. There is
belief in some quarters that Cornell has
been counted out too soon, but all must
admit that Colgate presents powerful
machine.
1t is pointed out that, although the
Cornell attack was stopped cold by WILL
Jams, the williams team never ap-
preached dangerously close TO the big
red teams goal 1t is admitted that the
Cornell defence outdid the offence last
Saturday, but that same defence will
find 1t much harder to manage the slash
ing drives OF the heavy Maroon backs
to-day.
Coach Rush Works on Attack.
Speedy Rush has spent much time this
week in trying to perfect a fast open
attack. that will enable the light Cornell
team to dash around its heavier OPP
ponents. At last reports, he seemed well
satisfied with the work done during the
week. although he did not voice an alb
solute prediction that Cornell would win
Larry Bankart has worked very
quietly with the Colgate squad during
the week and has had little to say. Re
ports however, indicate that he enters
the Cornell game with the utmost con-
fdence. All In all, Colgate ought to
win, and II It should fail to do so much
surprise will be occasionsd.
This will be the nineteenth meeting
between the teams. In previous battles
Cornell has emerged victor thirteen
times, while Colgate has won three
games. Two others have resulted in
acoreless ties. The Big Red team is
specially anxious to beat the Maroon,
. since no Cornell team has been able to
win from Colgate since 1911.
Second onlyto the Colgate-Cornell bat
tie will be the clash between Pittsburs
and Syracuse In Archbold Stadium AL
though Pittsblrg Is a slight faverite and
really ought to win, there Is considerable
financial support being accorded the
} Orange eleven. Many persons feel that
, the Syracuse team never has SHOWN
! what it really has, since 1t has never
been forced to it's llmit-has never seen
defeat staring 1t in the face, ~
On the other hand. Pittsburg began
burning red FIRE when It swamped the
West Virginia team and started to take
the rest of the schedule for granted
; Michigan and Brown and many other
. teams can tell Pittsburg that II Is never
! a. good idea to take anything for granted
= against Syracuse, however, since you
, may find that you haven't been granted
anything at all after the game Is over;
. The two teams have met only twice
