.P|TT-ORANGE TILT
TOPS CARD TODAY
Syracuse and Panther Clash
Heads Important Games.
State Engages Harvard
YALE WILL BATTLE ARMY


Football schedules now are narrowing
down to the point where the decision
means success or failure in the season.
There are four games in the big time
college circuit that stand out promin-
emily in today's card, but there also are
n number, of smaller tilts that Will
send thrills down the spines of thou
sands.
AT the top of the list is that pink
tea which will be served with war
clubs at Pittsburgh when the Panthers
clash with Syracuse. This contest,
together with the battle that will be
wagcd at Cambridge between Harvard
and Penn State will have a very definite
bearing on the final accounting of cham
pionship merit in the East.
The big intcrsectional clash between
Princeton and Chicago at Tigertown
will not mean anything unless the
Maroons rise up and spank Roper's
athletes. Then the superiority of the
West will stick out all over the East,
for the Windy City team is not rated
as the leading eleven in the Big Ten
Conference. In fact, there are three
teams in the Western circuit reputed
to be better than Stages eleven. How
ever, if Princeton wins, it will be as
it should, for the Tigers do rate among
the topnOtchers in this section despite
the defeat suffered at Annapolis last
Saturday.
Yale Battles Army
Yale will face its first real test OF
the season when the Army Is engaged at
New Haven. The Cadets have a strong
eleven despite the early season reverse
handed down by New Hampshire State
in one of the double headers staged
at West Point. Yale is the favorite,
but 1t is likely that the Bulldog will
have to show more than straight foot
ball to win.
These are the real big games of the
day. The other tits have lots of local
attraction, but are not very important
to the general football public unless the
dope is upset and the favorite dropped
for the count.
Aside from the Princeton Chicago af-
fair. there are two other intCrScCtional
clashes. Penn takes on Virginia Mill
tary Institute at Franklin Field. and
Rutgers will go to Atlanta to engage
Georgia Tech. Foster SanfOrd'S eleven
nOsed out Washington and Lee last
Saturday by rally in the last half, but
are not likely to be so successful in the
South. Last year, the Virginia cadets
hung it on Penn and the QuakcrS are
out for revenge. There are no Lccchcs
in the SouthcrnerS' backficld this year.
and the Red and Blue Is the favOritc.
There are four games remaining on
the Penn schedule. They are with Pitts
burgh. Lafayette. Dartmouth and Cor
nell, and come in the order named
These teams will be watched closely by
the Quaker supporters. AS has been
mentioned the Panthcrs oppose Syra-
cusc. but the other three teams have
supposedly easy contests.
Dartmouth Engages Columbia
Dartmouth will line up against Co.
lumbia at Hanover Il two to one favor
ite, Colgate should not bother Cornell
to any great extent and Joe Dumoc'S
Fordham team is not figured to give
Lafayette much trouble.
There are n number of interesting
battles among the little fellows in foot
ball. The fur will fly at SwarthmOre
where the Garnet and Franklin and
Marshall are due to clash. The Lam
caster cOllegians have improved con-
sidcrably since their defeat by Penn
and last week took over Ursinus, 500.
The Garnet will not have it easy.
Up at Bethlehem, Lehigh battles
Washington and Jefferson. Tho PrcSi-
season and have trimmed bethany.
Buckncll. West Virginia Wesleyan ana
Carnegie Tech by impressive scores.
Lehigh lost to Penn State, 2S-T. but Is
not as bad as that score indicates.
Frank Click has his eleven working
smoothly and the Presidents are in for
a tough afternoon.
There are two important Catholic
games booked. Holy Cross, the team
that held Harvard to 80. faces George
town at Worceser, and at the Nations
camtal. Catholic University will engage
Villanova. The suburban eleven has not
lost q. game this season and according
to Dave Ward. the former Nillanova
quarterback, Allies Miler's team has
an even chance Of beating the Washing
ton aggregation.
Boston College Battles Detroit
Frank Cavanaugh's Boston College
team puts on an inter sectional battle
against Detroit at the Hub City. The
Beancaters have three victories to their
credit. having won over Boston Univer-
sty, Providence and Baylor.
West Virginia is sure to take Buck
nell seriously in the game at Morgan
town. The Lewistown cOllegianS fright
encd Lafayette by scoring in the second
period and leading the Eastonians 10
at half time last Saturday. Tubhy
Spears, the West Virginia coach, will
send his battlers after Buckncll from
the first whistle.
There will be four games within easy
reach of local fans aside from the
Penn and Swarthmorc trays At the
StrawbridgO & Clothicr field Droxel
Institute will line up naginst George
Washington College. at Havcrford Del
aware will battle IIavcrford, TrSinus
and Dickinson will go TO the mat at
Collegcvillc and at Chester the Penn
Sylvania Military College Cadets will
engage Washington
In the West two Conference battles
hold the attention. They are between
Michigan and Ohio State nt Ann Arbor
and Illinois and Wisconsin at Irhnna.
Notre Dame Nebraska and California
Oregon are two other big contests.
