FOOTBALL RIVALRY
kEENER Than EVER
FOR THIS SEASON
Many Old Scores viii Be Set
tied BY Leaders.

The football situation this year
is easier to understand and its in
terest is materially heightened if
the objects which the coaches and
teams have in view and the goals
upon which their hearts are set are
Kept in mind. Many OF them have
old defeats TO wipe out and are in
ent on making it most uncomforta-
BILE for the team on which they do
The winning.
1t was bitter pill to many mem
bers of the middle west conference
mat Wilce, coach of Ohio State,
should have brought that team
through to the championship last
year. This medicine was the more
bitter from the closeneSs Of the
games.
Wisconsin rushed Ohio State until
the final moments of the game and
was beaten, 10 TO 7. Chicago lost
IVY a single point, 6 TO 7. Illinois was
defeated by a single score and even
Michigan was beaten only by two
touchdowns and goals therefrom to
one. So Ohio State will have Min
nesota, Michigan, Chicago and Hi
nois cunning for it this year. with
the respective coaches Of these
teams, Williams, Yost Stage and
Zuoke, looking forward 10 taking
Nilce's scalp.
Feud Between Pitt and State.
In the east. that final tie game
last year between Pittsburgh and
Penn State with neither side scor'
ing, rankles both with Glenn War
ner and Hugh Bezdek, and when the
teams meet at Pittsburgh, Novem-
Der "a, it will be to settle scores
both for this year and last
Pittsburgh has not forgotten the
tie score with Syracuse in 1920
either, and Warner is intent on Civ
ing Coach Meehan's charges a drub-
bling when the Syracuse aggregation
comes to the Smoky City.
Every one knows that Major DAILY
and the West Point players were bit
terly disappointed when Gilmore
Dobie coached the Navy to victory
two years ago and Bob FOlwell re
peated lasttyear. Everybody in the
Army believes it is time to curb the
cocksureness of the Navy and every
body at West FONT is out to do it.
annapolis knows this and is work
ing over one of the biggest squads
in the country.
The old triumvirate, Harvard,
7rinceton and Yale, coached respec-
yely by Fisher, Roper and Jones,
ave some popular scores to settle.
3rinceton was regarded as rather
ucky two years ago to get a tie
18th Harvard, although the game
self proved that Harvard was
icky to get the tie, thanks to Eddie
,Gaan.
Last year the score was repeated,
D between Harvard and Princeton
here are two tie scores to settle,
I'D whoever wins this year will have
Re satisfaction really of triple
ictory.
A New Leaf at Yale.
Yale, beaten by both her old-tlme
.ivals for the last two years, really
must turn over a new leaf, and with
it's new president the players and
coaches feel that this is the time
to do it. Syracuse and Dartmouth
have had similar experiences in late
years, starting out like champions,
but meeting upsets before the sea-
son was over.
Last year, Syracuse, after tie
with Pittsburgh, beat Dartmouth, 10
to 0, when along came Holy Cross
and trounced them, 3 to 0, after
which Maryland State wiped them
up, 10 to 7. Dartmouth, after being
upset by an early season, after being
Penn State came back and defeated
Holy Cross, 27 to IA, and finished
up the season with % to victory
over the University Of Washington.
Hence, Dartmouth is out to square
things with Syracuse in New York
this year
Cornell and Pennsylvania will con
tinue their old rivalry on November
"a at Philadelphia, but both are like
ly to encounter hard shedding be-
fore that time. Penn must indeed
be fit to defeat its last years con-
1ueror, the Virginia Military lnsti-
lutte, and has hard jobs ahead with
Pittsburgh and Dartmouth. CornelIs
