Syracuse Is Favored.


In the game at the Polo Grounds
there Is trend toward Syracuse Dart
mouth came back fairly strong last
week in the tie with Pennsylvania but
It did not impress onlookers as being a
team with anything like a good line.
Syracuse showed a lot Of fight in the
game with Colgate last week and should
win over the Green by at least one
touchdown.
Those who want to see the second
best game will have to travel to South
Bethlehem, where Lafayette and Lehigh
Will have 1t out in their annual shindig
These old rivals have been meeting
since 1884, and they never fail to put
up great contest. This year the event
looks more important than ever before,
as Lafayette enters the fight undefeated,
victor over Pittsburgh and Pennsyl-
vania, and with a claim to recognition
In the allotment of Eastern honors.
Last year Lafayette won by 81 to =
and on Saturday IT expects to do as well.
Lehigh, undergoing football reorgan-
ization under Frank Click, the old
Princeton star. has been only moderate
ly successful. Click discarded some
of the veteran stars" in favor Of
freshmen who had nothing to unlearn.
We believe he has eight first year men
on the team. The outfit has been COM
ing along and may do lot better than
Lafayette expects.
Brown ought TO beat Colgate. and
Fordham seems likely to lose to Spring
field. N. Y. U. ought to beat Trinity OF
Durham. Williams looks too strong for
Wesleyan. Georgetown should defeat
Boston College.
Iowa on Easy Street.
Iowa is sitting pretty" in the Western
conference and appears practically as
sured of nothing worse than a tie for
the championship. Ohio State, also un-
beaten in the Conference. is the other
candidate for half Of the laurels.
To-day Iowa will play its final game
against Northwestern, which has been
defeated even by Purdue and is safely
ensconced in the cellar. Nothing short
OF miracle would prevent Iowa from
mauling the Evanston crew Ohio State
is to take on Illinois, and II the Buck
eyes win they will be tied with Iowa
that is, provided of course that the
miracle does not save Northwestern.
Ohio State has beaten Chicago. which
beat Illinois last Saturday. and the OUT
look Is that the eleven from Columbus
will come through. II is interesting to

statement that Iowa Is unbeaten stands.
Correspondents are Informed that Kan

Wisconsin. which was tied by Mich

has slender hope for the title. II
Illinois should beat Ohio State and
Northwestern should win over Iowa and
Wisconsin should score over Chicago,
the honors would go to the Badgers.
But all these 'ifs" make an almost in
surmountable barrier for Wisconsin.
Purdue and Indiana and Michigan and
Minnesota will complete the Conference
programme for the day. The Wolver-
ines are strong favorites over the
Gophers.
California should win easily over
Stanford. Last Saturday the Bear ran
wild and trounced Washington By 72
TO 3. As Washington had held Stanford
to scoreless tie it becomes evident
that somebody Is in for a fine beating
this afternoon.
