New York. Sept. 16.-The football
situation this year is easier to be un-
derstood and its interest 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
intent on making it most uncomfortable
for the teams on which they do the
wiping.
It was bitter pill to many of the
members Of the middle west conference
that Wylie, 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. ........
Ohio Has Other Rivals.
Wisconsin rushed Ohio State until
the final moments of the game and
were beaten, ID to Z. Chicago lost by
a single point, 6 to Z. Illinois was de-
feated by single score and even Mich
igan was beaten only by two touch
downs and goals.
So Ohio State will have Minnesota.
Chicago, Wisconsin and Illinois cunning
for them this year, with the respective
coaches of these teams. Williams, Yost.

taking WyIe's scalp.
In the east that final tie game last
year between Pittsburgh and Pennsyl

rankles both with Glenn Warner and
Hugo Bezdek, and when the teams
meet at Pittsburgh. November IA, it
will be to settle scores both for this
year and last. Pittsburgh has not for
gotten the tie score with Syracuse in
giving Chick Meehan's charges drub-
bling when the Syracuse aggregation
comes to the Smoky City.
West Polnt-Navy.
Everyone knows that Major DAILY and
the West Point players were bitterly
when Gilmore Dobie
coached the navy to victory two years
ago and Bob Folwell repeated last
year. Everybody in the army believes
it is time to curb the cocksureness of
the navy and everybody at West Point |
is out to do it. Annapolis knows this |
and is working over one Of the biggest |
squads in the country.

Princeton was regarded as rather lucky |
wo years ago to get tie with Har

hat Harvard was the lucky team to get
he tie. thanks to Eddie Mahan. Last
-ear the score was repeated. so be-
ween Harvard and Princeton there are
wo tie scores to settle, and whoever
wins this year will have the satisfac-
ion of triple victory.
Yale Must Turn Leaf.
Yale. beaten by both her old-time
iyals. the last two years, really must
urn over new leaf and with new
resident, the players and coaches feel
hat this is the time to do it.
Syracuse and Dartmouth have had
