Intersectional Tits Feature
Football Schedule-Harvard
Will Take On Indiana
w. VIRGINIA BATTLES PITT

the card for today, two teams from
the South and one from the West ap-
pearing in this section with three OF
our leading elevens. North Carolina
University meets Yale, Indiana Will
collide with Harvard and North Car
olina State is booked to play against
Penn State. Yale and Penn State
probably will have it easy, but Har-
ward may be facing a tough battle.
The Crimson has not shaped up any
too we'll in the early games. In the
double. header which opened the sea-
son, Fishers team was barely able 70
breeze by, and last Saturday a field
goal was the only thing that won from
Holy Cross. Indiana is an uncertain
proposition. little is known about the
team and there might be q surprise.
Another game which has an intersec-
tional flavor is between Syracuse and
Maryland State. The Southerners
scored an unexpected victory over the
big team last year and has a good
| chance to repeat. Last Saturday
| Maryland defeated Rutgers, 3 to 0, but
did not have to show anything. Brewer,
the star halfback. Is one of the best
punters in the country, and booted the
ball every time it was in his terri
tory. The kicking game was used al
most entirely. even when close to the
goal-linc When the drop-kick was
made. the ball was on the 15-yard
line, second down and yards to go.
Maryland Meets Syracuse
Therefore. it can be seen that Mary
land held everything back for Syracuse
and will be all loaded for tomorrow S
game. The Orange eleven is unusually
husky this year. but the players have
not yet rounded into shape. This means
tough afternoon for Chick Meehan' s
men
Princeton will have no trouble with
Colgate. but the Tigers will have q
chance to show some improvement over
their play against Swarthmore. They
used their hands considerably last
Saturday and committed other early
season fouls that cost them more than
100 yards in penalties. The team play
was ragged, but this should be much
better after another week of practice
Penn plays another hard" game
Gettysburg being the week end op-
pOnent. The Red and Blue did not dc
l.
but hopes to do better against Gettys-
burg.
The big game, however. will be played
in Pittsburgh. when Pitt lines VI
against West Virginia on Forbes Field
The MOuntaineers have been aftel

the game confident of victory. How
ever, they have not won yet. and 1
