Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1921-11-04

TNIIE great white spotlight that hovers
l. above November gridirons splits into
q three -pronged affair tomorrow.
One flaming prong points at a New
Jersey battlefield, where Harvard and
Princeton will attempt to smash a drawn
status that has now lasted through two
games.
The second flaming prong will beat
down upon the gridiron at West Point,
where the Army and Notrc Dame put
on another spectacular Intersections
feature that may well be the best Of all
Army Notre Dame affairs.
The third prong swings out above
Stagg Field at Chicago, where Chicago
and Ohio State come to grips in one
of the big championship battles of the
year, q decisive contest between two OF
the most powerful machines now licensed
to operate on American terrain.
Princeton and Harvard
HARVARD and Princeton first ex.
IL changed line bucks forty four years
ago.
SO this game. in addition to reaching
tall competitive heights, is all stepped in
tradition with background that en-
hances the vivid coloring of the day.
VINO VIII WIN!
Tiger stock scared far over par in
September, broke ninety points in Octo :
Der through short selling by the Navy
and Chicago, with Lourie and Garrity
missing, and then In early November
bounded back.
IL the two elevens were pointing for
this game, they have rather overpointed,
for neither has shown any fash OF
greatness.
Harvard's greatest asset has been a
keen, varied attack hooked to a grim
determination not to be beaten.
But as finished football machine,
most OF the cogs have been lose all fall.
One Of the Best
VET. in spite of rocky October days
L this next Harvard Princeton clash
should be one of the best in forty -four
years.
Princeton, with Lourie and Garrity
back, with q strong line now well sea :
soned from Navy and Chicago tests,
will be quite different from anything the
Tiger has shown this fall.
The outcome hangs upon too many
contingencies to call for any direct vote.
If Lourie and Clarity are sufficiently
recovered to go the entire distance with
the best they have, we look for Prince
ton to win.
The mere physical addition of these
two stars will be one factor. The
mental uplift Of the Tiger squad will
be another.
PrincetOn's main weakness has been
a heavy deficit In capable reserves to
plug gaps left by her two injured stars.
Harvard's main weakness has been q
Shaky defense that encountered trouble
at almost every start.
Both machines tomorrow should be
well above anything either has shown,
and this means close, exciting battle
with the play as hard as the rules will
stand for.
Star and Star
HARVARD, in Owen, Buell. and
IL Fits, has three star backs. But
they hardly match Lourie, Garrity and
Gilroy.
And Harvard so far has shown no
lincmen with the defensive possibilities
of Keck and Wittmer.
If both teams are at their top Prince
ton should have something to spare,
with the break of the game left to de-
eide the closing score.
Army and Notre Dame
WHENEVER Notre Dame and the
w Army meet you can always look
forward TO an afternoon Of thrills.
The Westerners have rarely had the
worst Of It, but they are facing a
stronger Army team on this occasion
than they have met in many years.
A powerful line working with such
bnckicld talent as French, Wilhide and
Woods is nothing to be taken lightly.
NOtre Dame is always strong. If the
South Bend campus ever sent q weak
