The New York herald., 1921-10-22

| therein lies Princeton's greatest factor
for victory. Defensive strength Is tradi-
tional at Nassau. The time was when
the Tigers presented little more than a
defence and strong kicking game. and
lay in wait for the breaks, which had a
way Of coming in their favor. The
Tigers Of 1921. in spite Of what hap
pened at Annapolis. are strong defen-
sively.
Chicago will throw lot Of passes. It
will have strength in kicking and very
likely it will show a much further ad-
vanced type of game than will Prince
ton. The Tigers are pointing for
Harvard and Yale-and Chicago has
been pointing for Princeton. That
Princeton was outplayed by the Navy
last Saturday may be overlooked
Chicago Is not likely to be the Navy
and Princeton teams have a knack of
coming back strong. We all remember
the fine comeback CT 1918, after both
Palmer Stadium with victories.
HARvARD-PENN STATE.
Georgia Harvard Is confronted with
task of great difficulty. The contest
will afford the first reliable index to
the capabilities Of the Crimson. which
has been having trouble all season. but
somehow has escaped defeat. Harvard
may be in for beating. 1t would not
surprise us IL the husky Penn State
outfit emerged with victory by touch-
down. But Harvard may have more
in reserve than we have been able to
see. 1t usually has.
While Stage coached eleven is hav-
ing 1t out with Princeton team coached
by pupil of Stage will be making
things interesting for the Crimson. Hugo
Bezdek, who Is in charge at Penn State,
learned his football under Stagg at Chi
cago, and he learned 1t well. Penn State
is going to Cambridge with the inten-
ton to hold back as much as 1t can
from scouts Of Georgia Tech, which is
to be met here a week from tomorrow
But If the game requires giving every
thing 1t has Penn State Is going to give
1t.
Penn State has by far the heaviest
team in the East. It averages 1876 pounds
averages 1919 pounds from tackle to
tackle, 176 for the ends and 175 for
the backfield. The tackles average 206
pounds, with Mcmahon scaling at 215
and MADEIRA at 19S. Baer, one of the
guards. weighs an even 200, and Bentz,
the centre. lacks only Stwo pounds to
tie that mark. It's beef Of the old FASH
ioned variety. but it is speed, too.
Way and Haines, who were the MAIN
stays in the attack last season. are gone,
but Killenger. one of the foremost quar-
terbacks of 1920. again is on the job.
Smell, the fullback, Is reported to be In
a hospital, but Hess Is almost as good.
Rednger, Cornwall and Lightner are
the other carriers.
Harvard will have the advantage In
punting and drop kicking--and IL may
be that the Crimson will need that ad-
vantage very badly.
OTHER CONTESTS.
Pittsburgh seems to be having an off
year and should be second best In the
game with Syracuse. which showed
great form i'm beating Brown last week.
Columbia appears to be made for Dart
mouth. but the chances are that the
Blue and White will stage a surprise,
and not only score. but hold the Green
to be tight scrap. Lafayette, con-
aueror OF Pittsburgh. should defeat
Fordham. which has been erratic.
Pennsylvania will try with might and
| main to make UP for the defeat which
it suffered last season by Virginia Mill
tary. The cadets are not as strong as
they were in 1920. That was shown
last week when they were defeated by
Virginia. Cornell should win again
over Colgate which is not up to the
old Colgate standard. It's "even
Stephen" between New York University
and Wesleyan and Stevens and r. p !.
Georgia Tech looks like a winner over
Rutgers. Lehigh ought to find itself
and beat Washington and Jefferson.
| Boston College should. beat Detroit and
Georgetown may win over Holy Cross.
