BoyntOn to Lead Berk kshire
Eleven in Game Here To-
day; N. Y. u. VS.. WESLEYAN


Boynton, one of the best quarterbacks
in the collegiate circles, the Berkshire
squad is coming full of confidence that
it will take the scalp of the Blue and
White.
1t would seem that the Williams sup
porters have reason to be confident.
Their team is well-kn.t this year, and
has plenty of speed and power. Last
week the Massachusetts eleven held the
hefty Cornell team to 3 to 0 victory.
which was cons dered a good showing
Columbia has not shown much to
date. 1t opened the season with
victory last week, defeating the Uni
versity of Vermont by 7 to 0. But
Columbia was fortunate in winning, as
1t was practically outplayed all the
way. Good headwork by Quarterback
Quigley in the last few minutes of play
saved the day.
The Columbia coaches, however, have
been driving the men hard all week
big Improvement to-day. Several
!ew faces will appear in TIE local
lineup. The line has been shifted
somewhat and in the backfeld Shaw
will play in place of Thornton. Shaw
should star as we'll as Boynton, if he
profits by the teaching and experience
of the past week He has shown ten
dency to run wide on end plays. If he
cuts in and gets off well ne should reel
off long gains.
Williams Team Stronger
Columbia defeated Williams last
year. The Blue and White was
stronger in 1918, with Robb in the
lineup, but Williams is much stronger
this year.
record crowd is expected to be on
hand, az the advance sale of tickets
has been exceptionally large. A big
delegation is coming down from Will
'ams, and will be supported by the
New York alumni The Williams sup
porters have been Offering odds on
their team. Extra stands have been
erected to accommodate the crowd, and
the university band Will be on hand to
enliven things.
Penn State Harvard KS. Brown. Pitts
burgh VS.. Syracuse and Yale vs.. Bos
ton COllege-these are the games or
which Eastern football followers will
focus their attention to-day. In some
cases the picking of the winner is as
difficult as doping the horses. This is
particularly true of the first two con-
tests.
: Colgate rules It slight tavorite over
Cornell, but it would not be at all sur
prising 70 see the Ithacans land the
honors. True, Cornell defeated Will
Jams only by 80 score, but its own
goal line was never endangered, and it
might have made the count bigger if
extended.
Corneils line is rs bulky as that of
colgate, and, man for man. probably is
It's equal. In the backield there seems
10 be but slight difference with Col
gate possibly having the edge.
Dartmouth Has Edge
Dartmouth appears to have the
..dse because It 5 playing in its own
,nncl,ysrd Penn State can be counted
on to trot out q scrappv and we'll train
ed team. and here again no great sur
prise should be occasioned if the Penn
'syivaniars carry of the prize The
line of the nanoverians will probably
outweigh and outplay that OF Penn
State by slight margin, and in the
matter of bncktields the Green seems
to he better off Dartmouth gener-
ally manages 20 sneak off with this
contest, be the margin ever so slight,
and the dope is that it viii probably
repeat to day
The Brown Bear invades the den Of
Harvard to-day, but the Bears claws
appear TO have been clipped this year,
and Harvard should remain on the
bright side throughout the clash. Har-
ward hasn't been extended at all as
yet. but it has shown such potential-
ties and latent power 10 make the
Crimson lock like one Of the best
teams in the country.
Harvards players are all rangy, sin
ewy, in many cases bulky, and possess
much natural ability. Several Of the
varsity men have had cons.de rabie ex
perience, including Capt Murray.
Casey, Horween, Desmond and Clark.
Brown has possibilities, but it showed
: in the Colgate game that it needed
much work, and that many of the play
ers lacked experience: Brown will un-
doubtely show to better advantage
Haven, November s. Tie Providence
team doesn't figure to beat Harvard
this wear.
Then there is the Pitt Syracuse game

will be close. The game will undoubt-
edy be keenly contested but it should

fsnt Syracuse by large Il score it
