The Yale OF Other Days.

the Kiplingesque style is being
written a few hours in advance of
the Harvard game. Just on a
chance.)
Beneath the Crimson banners shade,
when punts begin to fly,
I sit me down to watch. alas. an
other Bulldog die.
Blood-red l see the Crimson charge
sweep onward through the
haze
Sainted Diana-can that be the Yale
of Other Days?
All, shades of Shevlin. Hinkey.
Thorne, Fitzpatrick, Glass and
Brown,
When Crimson flesh was Bulldog
meat and Tiger skins were
down;
When play by play we swept the
field and down the goal-spun
ways
We saw the Blue flag wave above
the Yale OF Other Days!
But Shevlln's time has vanished
now and Hinkey's day is done.
McClung and Coy no longer flash
athwart the old-time run.
Uncertain, slow and out of gear, the
Blue rush crumbles far,
Ad low at dusk the Blue flag furls
below a Crimson star.
Glare down. old Hecate, from on
high and let John Harvard
yell.
The Crimson horde has come to rule
across a Campless spell.
The Crimson flag has found its
place. and through times
drifting haze
The Blue can only wait to meet the
Yale OF other Days.
Big Games Left.
The big game. from a ranking
viewpoint. on Thanksgiving day
will be between Pittsburgh and
Penn State.
between two fine football teams. but
greatest halfbacks Of the years
Way. of Penn State, and Davies of
Pittsburgh.
These backs may not get the pub
licity that others have drawn, but
no team in the East has a finer pair.
This Penn State-Pitts battle will

greatest of the year.
Pittsburgh has. faced the toughest
schedule in the East, we'll beyond
anything attempted by Harvard,
Princeton or Yale.
Pitts opened with West Virginia
Then came Syracuse and Georgia
Tech. After this trio all that Pitts
had to take on were Pennsylvania,
Lehigh. Washington and Jefferson
and Penn State.
1t was a killing schedule for any
team,
Penn State faced no easy-going

among others. But her road wasn't
/ as tough as Pitts.
Cornell and Pennsylvania.
Gil Dobie should finish his first
year at Cornell with only one de-
feat-that by Dartmouth.
Pennsylvania, after a disastrous
year. has only the thinnest sort OF
chance TO stop Cornell in the COM
ing contest, although Penn is gen.
orally at her best in these Cornell
jubilees. And Cornell is generally
at her worst.
But under Dobie's instruction
Cornell. despite her heavy-footed
showing against Dartmouth's strong
team Is almost sure to win.
Penn is another eleven that took
on more than any team can carry

But to draw Penn State, Pitts

enough to cut the feet out from
