every respect thus far. Of course, be
Personally we believe the Massa-
ehusetts eleven will win despite all the
good things that have been said of the
Kentuckians and in spite of the optim-
ism of their supporters. 1t is almost
too much to expect this little college
ir its first real big struggle to go out
and grab the victory. If it does, it will
certainly deserve ali the credit in the
world. And we are not saying it can't
be done. But remembering the Har-
ward Michigan game of several years
ago, 1T doesn't appear so.
1t is reported that Centre has a
second team which is nearly as good
as its varsity. If this be true, the
Danvllle eleven has an excellent chance
indeed of carrying away the spoils.
But the Centre lads will have to be in
ps srfect physical condition, as was Bos-
ton College last week. Cavanaugh' s
team would never have stood off two
Yale teams otherwise.
The HarvardCentre game will con-
slst OF flfteen-minute periods, severe
test even on November Saturday.
The Crimson is sure to rush the pace
from the outset and will probably in
Ject fresh recruits into the fray if the
regulars weaken. It's rush line is heav
ler than Centres. That is where the
weight counts.
The Kentuckians undoubtedly will
rely on speed and wide-open game to
WIN, Against that bulky line of Har-
ward 1t does not sound reasonable they
would do otherwise.

team: 1t proved it's worth last vear. and
in Moran it has a fine coach. More

the Harvard struggle.

The name of this little institution
by the way, is spelled Centre and NOT
center, as 1t appears so often in print
1T is interesting to learn that the
enrolment has nearly doubled in size

the college gained by it's victorious
eleven last year. Some fifty alumni

Fellows who play without headguards
nowadays are few and far between.
Columbla's star negro lineman, Gallo
way, evidently finds head protection
an encumbrance; so does KEN pton, of
Yale. Neither Of these ever wears a
guard. Murnane, Of Amherst, full
back, also plays without a head pad
those are the only ones Of several
teams we have seen to date.
Last year we remarked star grdiron
performers never got hurt Which of
course made them stand out the more
as luminaries. Jim Thorpe, Ned Mahan.
Eddie Casey, "Chick" Harley-one never
heard of these fellows getting injured.
Every year you can notice the same
thing. The stars go right through un-
injured.
Benny Boynton was covered by seven
men in the Harvard contest and played
his head off, but he came through un-
scathed. Kempton, of Yale, hard run

Syracuse with a charlev horse); Jor-
