Battles Scheduled
Today in the East
New York, Nov. 5.-Undefeated
elevens will meet on several Eastern
football fields tomorrow. The results
of these battles viii go far toward de-
Gliding the mythical championship Of
the section.
OF outstanding interest will be the
Harvard Princeton, battle at Cam
bridge although the Cornell Dart
mouth. Nebraska-Penn State, Pitts
burgh- Pennsylvania, Georgetown
Navy and Yale Brown games all have
direct bearing on titular claims at
the close of the season.
The contest between Princeton and
Harvard. the first of the triangular
series of the so-called big Three
will apparently bring together two
well matched elevens, although the
strength of the combating combina-
tons does not lie along the same lines.
The Crimson is expected to present a
, well-drilled and developed football
machine, reasonably strong on both
ioffensive.and defense. while the Tigers
are reported to have loosen but more
brilliant individual attack and a de-
tense which is far from being invul-
nerable.
Both elevens may be expected to
play with a certain amount of re-
straint, for each in turn is to meet
Yale within the next two weeks. 1t
is probable that Harvard will play 2
steady. close reformation game, uncoy-
ering' only enough football strategy
to win if possible. while Princeton
will depend on more open field tao
tics. including the dashing runs of
Lourie and Clarity, forward passing
and attempted field goals. To some
extent the game promises to resemble
the Centre Harvard contest and, for
that reason Harvard rules a favorite.
The Dartmouth Cornell clash offers
a more complicated proposition, Cor
nell, undefeated to date, comes to New
York with comparatively green
team of unusual power which has
been coached with the secretive safe
/ guards for which Gil Dobie is noted.
While the eleven has shown increas-
ing ability, both on attack and defense
with each succeeding game, it full
| strength is still much of mystery.
| Many close followers of football be-
| lieve that under pressure of the Dart
mouth opposition the Dobie pupils
will blossom forth in a real demon
stration of their calibre
With a two weeks rest for the
varsity string and with Captain Rob
ertson back in the game the New
Hampshire team will undoubtedly
force Cornell to show its very best
! football ~1
The University of Nebraska play
ers, fresh from the victory over Rut-
| gers on Election Day, will meet Penn
State and are certain to face a much
stronger mbination than the New
Brunswick team which they defeated
! % to O.
Brown goes to New Haven to meet
Yale with what appears to be IN i'm
pressive team yet to taste defeat. In
the six games to date, the Providence
eleven has run up double figures in
every contest while Maine has been
the only team to cross the Brown goa
| line.
Yale last won from Colgate 81 to Z.
while two weeks previously Brown
defeated the same combination IA to
0. 1t is probable that. Yale. one week
from the Princeton game, is in a DO
sition to hold Brown In check should
the coaches decide 1t necessary to
throw the full power and strategy of
the Blue attack against the Brunon-
ians.
The University Of Pittsbeurg. an
other undefeated aggregation, plays
Pennsylvania and while the Painters
record is slightly marred by a to Z
tie with Syracuse. it would appear as
though Glenn Warmers warriors are
entirely too powerful for the Quakers
unless Coach Heisman has wrought a
eridiron miracle in the Pennsylvania
squad during the past week.
Georgetown viii invade Anna polls.
with a perfect record for the sea son
and hopes to repeat last years defeat
of the Navy. The Middies had been
slow to round into form this year and
unless there is marked improvement
in the general play of the Navy.
Georgetown appears to be justified in
believing that it will again triumph
over the sailors. -iF- ,
