Yrtersectional engagements In foot

pottles between representative teams
81 The East and South or the East ana
West are becoming more popular thah
.ror before and three such exhibitions
arc stuck right in the center OF the
snort picture today.
spTg,, spTwo of these are figured to be real
lid and woolly affairs. The third Is
. S.i,oved To be a walkover for the East,
b,t upsets are very frequent. Any
thing Is likely to happen, r.

,rc College, 1900 miles away from
homo will take on Harvard. and over
in Now York. Georgia Tech. all the
,"o, from Atlanta. Ga, will thoroughly
srtsrtoin Penn state. These are the
tmo bip interseCtional games on the
cord The third will be staged nt
princeton. where the Tigers and the
University of Virginia enter into COM
bat.
Tigers May BE Surprised
princeton is the outstanding favorlte

hodv cores. The 1921 record of the
Roner athletes already has been
smesared smear by the Navy and Chicago, and
another slap by Virginia won't make
n any worse, they believe. as long as
comeback is made against Harvard
and Yale. That's thnt:
Centre College has walloped numerous
teoms in the South. and Harvard stu
dents have been wondering II it means
. ANYTHING. They will find out today.
tast week Centre ran up oS points
AGAINST Pennsylvania, and this was
boosted as II big triumph. Harvard. on
tho other hand. also has made splendid
record this season. despite the 21-21 tie
with state. and the Crimson is sure
to give the Praying Col0nels a terrific
battle Harvard rcigns the favorite.
Georgia Tech will make another pill
rnmage to the North, and If tradition
Il TO be followed another Northern vic
tory will be scored The Atlanta ath-
letes have played Pittsburgh three times
y in the North and have been beaten
lust as often. State is being tried this
wear TO try to break the jinx. There
Is talk Of Tech having the strongest
team ever to come from beyond the
Mason and Dixon Line. A Penn man
who officiated at a Tech engagement
this year has stated that the Southern
ers have powerful eleven and are very
likely to surprise State.
Depends on Robertson
Besides these three intersectional
games there are two other contests that
stand out prominently on the schedule.
One Is here at Franklin Field, where
Penn will endeavor to break the hoodoo
Of Pittsburgh victories. and the other
is up at Ithaca, where Dartmouth and
Cornell will go to the mat. The en-
gagemont at Ithaca is particularly in
teresting to Philadclphians because the
two teams later meet Penn. 1t is not
known for certainty that Captain
Jim Robertson will start. If he does.
the chances Of the Green for victory are
very brilliant. Otherwise it looks like
Cornell.
Lafayette. the only other eleven re-
naming on Penn's slate aside from
Dartmouth and Cornell. VIII take on
Rutgers on the Eastor gridirOn. Coach
Sutherland has won five games this
year. The Maroon athletes are taking
the game seriously, and it is very likely
that the record will be kept clean.
Lchigh. the famed rival Of Infay-
cttc, will try romcbark against West
Virginia at Bethlehem. Tubby Spears
eleven was held to seOrclcSS tie last
week by Buckncll. and the MountainrcrS
also are figuring to hit their winning
stride again. Frank Clicks team has
recovered N nt hn hO pll
OF Washington and Jefferson. and the
bethlehem students are placing the fam
lly jewels on the Brown and White to
win.
Washington and Jefferson will en-
deaVor to duplicate the startling feat
turned in by Pitt when the Presidents
come to blows with Syracuse. The
orange athletes, however. will he
playing on theft home lot and will
Oe much tougher to beat.
Yale Fayorite Over Brown
-, Yale. the only mcmbcr Of the Big
anrce whose record has not been spoiled
WIN even tie this season. will bat
,!e Brown at New Haven. and although
me Ellis Is top heavy favorite. the
providence team is in good shape aud
sure to give the Blue busy afternoon.
SWarthmOrc has recovered the Qua
Ker breath after it's tie With Franklin
nhd Marshall and the sIIburbanites feel
that they are due to hand Muhcnberg
laring at Allentown. If such n thing
comes to pass the Quakrrs will be
accomplishing noble feat, for the
.SIlentown Collegians have no mean
StVeh! their victory over Gettysburg
stamping them as one of the best small
college teams in these parts.
FRANKLIN and Marshall will attempt
TO tear the Pennsylvania Military COL
lese apart, but the cadets spirit is
running high and they hope to hold the
score down as low as last year when
me Lancaster athletes had to be sat
