0NE more week about closes out the
~ intercollegiate frolc. which is here
ana gone before one is fully adjusted to
what most Of it is all about. A Ri"
league ball club now takes up six weeks
t0r training purposes alone. In football
the entire season is barely more than
SIX weeks long. but the passionate de-
oates that follow last all winter.
There is an excellent prospect that
more rouSlng oratory will be used up
this winter than ever before. The list
of unbcaten clevens is longer than usual
IN both sections. and this always leads
TO spicy conjecture as to what might
have happened If some of these Gnbcatcn
had only met upon the field.
The Topliner
60 FAR the teams we have seen in
~ action include Yale. Harvard.
Princeton. Navy, Army, Penn State,
Georgia Tech, Notre Dame and Rut-
gers. OF these the strongest combina-
tion looked to be Notrc Dame. with Penn
state and Yale in grapple for second
strength.
Notrc Dame looked to be the best of
thc lot with fine line. n great baCkfield
and the finest passing game we have ever
seen.
Any team that uses Gus Desch. the
olympic hurdlcr. as a substitute must
be fairly well fixed with material.
While Notre Danes chief bid to fame
concerns knutc RoCkne's amazing
passing game, it must not be forgotten
that he has big. fast line and a flock
Of fast. hard running backs led by
'hOlldIuL ana W Nnne.
And his second string backs are al
most as brilliant as his first. With
these Notre Dame has in Kilcy and An
derSon the best end players of the year.
Penn State and Yale
A BATTLE between Penn State and
"A Yale, with both in condition. would
be one of the most spectacular affairs Of
the year.
1t would be worth far journey to
see killinger and Wilson pitted against
Aldrich and O'Hearn.
If Yale beats Harvard decisivcly it
might be argued that Yale must be well
beyond Penn State, as Bezdek's team
only tied the Crimson. But Penn State
was an entirely different team against
Georgia Tech and the Navy.
Yale, defcnsively, is more consistent
than Penn State. but we haven't seen
n back all year who could run with the
terrific drive and clusiveness that Kill
lingCr has.
Killingcr has been pretty we'll tested
Harvard couldn't hold him at any stage
and neither could Georgia Tech. The
Navy has the greatest defense in the
East. bar none. and the Navy found
him just as hard to stop. He is one
of those slashing twisting runners that
starts at top speed with his knees fly
ing in all directions, and even when n
good taCklcr hits him he is just as likely
to fail.
Leading Tests
TN THE East, Yale has yet to beat
l. Harvard and Penn State defeat
Pittsburgh before either can claim an
unbeatcn year.
Both have about the same job ahead.
Pitt has been beaten three times and
Harvard twice, so neither Pitt nor Har-
ward has been up to old standards.
In the West, Ohio State should hold
! it's Conference slate quite clean by
beating Illinois.
Wisconsin, still unbcaten. has the
hardest assignment Of the day against
4 Chicago. This latter contest is merely
a toss-up, one of the hardest games of
the year.
TT HAS been five years now since n
L Yale man has had the chance to
assume any pntronizinG air toward II
Harvard man, and nS this same occasion
has developed but once since 1909 you
can understand the keen Yale attitude,
III by any chance Harvard should get
