Columbia University is to meet the
strongest eleven it has faced this sea-
son when it goes against Brown az

suit of Columbia's game with New
York University is a true criterion,
Brown should have something of a

known in the south, has not been as
strong as the Georgians.
One of the big games in the middle

and Missouri.
Syracuse is at Lincoln, Neb.. for
meeting with the University of Ne
braska. practically the only intersec-
tional contest of the day.
Down at Chapel Hill the University
OF Virginia and University of North
Carolina will fight out their old ri

situations has been represented this
fall by team of the standard usual
~ turned out by them, but that should
not detract in the least from the

seems to have made gradual progress
and in it's contests with GeorAia and
Vanderbilt played good foot bah.
North Carolina has played fine foot
ball at, times and at others has done
poor work.
Pennsylvania and Cornell are sched-
uled to meet as usual in their big
game at Franklin Field. About the
only hope Cornell seems to have to
win is for some such eleventh hour
reversal as is seen just once every
So often. The Quakers have played

have much better record than the

any team in It's class.
out at Pittsburgh the Penn State
eleven seems to be strong enough to
get some little revenge for the drub-
bings 1t has been taking of late from
Glen Warmers Panthers Penn State

Down at Roanoke the Virginia Poly
technic Institute and Virginia Mill
tary Institute are to meet in their
annual struggle. The game there is
just about Is savagely fought as any
loot ball contest could be and has all
the colorful atmosphere of two stu
Gent bodies in military uniforms.
West Virginia University is to hook
up with the Washington and Jefferson
team at Morgantown in what should
lc one of the most brilliantly con-
tested games of the year These
shoots are represented by teams
Nhicn stand out among the very
strongest, and each is an exponent of
all that is best in the way of combined
line smashing and open tactics. The
result OF the contest will affect the
lanking of the first seven or eight
strong teams of the country.
Catholic University leaves today for
Charleston, w. Va, where it is to go
, against the West Virginia Wesleyan
' eleven. The BroolSlanders have high
hopes OF winning, Notwithstanding the
rather strong showing of the West vir-
glnians in their previous contests. Coach

twenty players are to make the trip

IN connection with one of the members
OF Maryland States team, a situation
which may result in him being kept
out of the Hopkins game tomorrow.
Mackert, right tackle. attended Lebanon
Valley College in 1915 and 1915, before
entering the Army. When he came to
State this fall his transfer of credits
showed that he had two years at Leba
ION Valley. However. q communication
from Hopkins received at State western

St had played foot ball four years for
Lebanon Valley College The situation
was cleared up by Mackert himself vol
unteerins the information. after being
questioned about the apparent discern.
sncy. that he had been used by the
coach of the Lebanon Valley College
eleven WINE ne was In prep school
there, student at the Lebanon Valley
Academy. Now State is up against the
proposition to decide whether or not q
man should have charged against him
two years OF college foot ball when he
was not even in college. That is, IL
Lebanon Valley is claSsed by the United
States bureau Of education as a stand
ard college; IL II is not so classed tben
Mackert would have four more years
OF foot ball coming to him. TeIegrams
were sent out by State athletic author.
