football titles, anc both prepared to cut
loose with q dazzling display of foot

Main Test for Both Teams
Each team realizes that if it can
get by this milestone it has better
than an even chance for clean slate
for the 1920 season. Because, un-
doubtedly, Pitt is Syracuse's strongest
opponent and vice versa. For our part
we favor Pittsburgh to win, but we
shall not be surprised in any way if
the Orange comes through, particular
ly after what happened last year.
Yale viii receive j.. first real test Of
the season this aftcrr osa when it bumps
into the Boston Collcre outht in the
Bowl. The Els are determined to get
revenge for their defeat of last year
by this crew Of Franz Cavanaugh's.
This much is certain, t. e Bay Staters
will find the Blue quite different out
fit from the one it met last year. And
if Yale has developed shy kind Of an
aerial attack the Maroon viii probably
receive a beating. But if Tad Jones
has not more elaborate and versatile
offense than was shown by the New
Haven students last year, Yale follow
ers can figure on defeat No. /.
Harvard is not going to have any
picnic with little Williams. The Grim
son may indeed receive quite a sur
prise. Fisher and. his assistants, of
course, are counting On hard struggle,
but it may be tougher than they have
planned for. Joe Brooks, the Williams
mensor, is mighty capable teacher
and one who can also instill the old
fight into his players. We don't be-
lieve Williams viii beat Harvard, but
We are sure it viii give the Cambridge
The Pennsylvania Lafayette game is
one Of the bright spots of the day
"Ijoc" Sutherland has groomed the
bxston team to take a fall out of the
1,ed and Blue, and more than 1000
Qimirers of the Lafayette lads are
going to journey to Quakertown in
expectation Of a victory. Nevertheless,
we think they are going to be disap-
pointed. Feisman has brought his
e,even along in wonderful manner, and
,ee look TO sec it continue It's winning
stride to-day
Princeton. in meeting Washington
and Lee Students probably is facing q
worthy foe. Washington and Lee used
to turn out good teams and it is safe to
assume the Generals are as strong as
ever, although we don't know what they
have this season.
Dartworth Faces Worthy Foe
Dartworth. with its captain and star
sock, Jim Robertson, and Shelburne,
'i.c brilliant negro player, out of the
gne-up, will have its hands full trim
ming Holy Cross. The Worcester
eleven senses another possible victim
and is preparing to feast at the
Green's expense much as it had ex-
pected to down Harvard but even with
two stars missing Holy Cross will find
the Hanover eleven tough proposition.
Penn State Will tce-off with the
North Carolina State warriors, who
trounced the Navy and who in turn
game will give US a good chance 70
compare the respective abilities of
State and Georgetown.
The Brown Bear is smacking his
chops in anticipation of a full meal on
Colgate. Brown owes the upstate
eleven few for past defeats and is
planning to get lot of sweet revenge
out Of to-day's meeting.
The Army will meet the Springfield
College eleven, while the Navy bucks
up against Bucknell. The Navy has by

WE'LL working it will keep the West
Pointers busy. Bucknell is quite likely
to beat the Navy if the Annapolis reg
ulars have not as yet got into condi
tion.
Lehigh will meet Rochester at South
Bethlehem and should win, and so
should Fordham, which has Villanova
for an opponent up in the Bronx. Cor
nell, MI Dobie to the contrary, will
add another to it's list of victims to-
day when it defeats Union College.
