! New York, October 2S.--1t will be Dixie day on eastern football fields tomorrow. Three of the leading cola prominently in the afternoons grid iron programme. Centre college of Danville, Ky. again invades the Har- ward stadium; the University of yir- ginIa of Charlottesville, Va, faces Princeton in the Palmer Memorial stadium, and the widely heralded Georgia Tech eleven of Atlanta plays Penn States powerful combination at the Polo grounds here.
 l These contests do not, however, ex- haust the football possibilities of the day, for there are In addition a num- 1 Der of games in which east meets east in what promises to be thrilling battles for sectional supremacy. Cor nell and Dartmouth lineup at Ithaca with their records unmarred by de- feat; Pittsburg fresh from It's sensa- tional victory over Syracuse, plays Pennsylvania at Philadelphia and Brown goes to New Haven to tackle tho rejuvenated Yale eleven. There are in addition a. host of other com tests of scarcely lesser interest.
 Because of the glamor surrounding 1 college eleyens coming from distant l points to pit their skill, courage and endurance against the same quali- | ties of home elevens, chief attention will be focused upon the playing of the southern teams in their invasion of ancient eastern campuses. All the invading squads are known to be high class, effective elevens well versed in the modern Fundamentals ard frills of the autumn sport Seats Sold Out
 Although defeated by Harvard, 31 to IA, last season, Centre college caused consternation among Crimson coaches and players in the first half of the 1920 game, and the impression made upon both Harvard participants and 1 spectators is attested by the fact that every one of the 45,o00 seats in the stadium had been sold for tomor- rows game.
 The Danville collegians appear for the second time in two years in Cam bridge with a straight record of vic- tories for the season. In their four ! BdiASS NO oalt Itics lloND AiCN O'-NS won impressively, but have prevent ed opponents from crossing their goal line. The southerners will pre- sent their strongest lineup, with the exception of Center Whitnell, who is ineligible due to scholastic difficult ties.
 Harvard Seems Weak
 Harvard will offer what is consid- cred to be a rather weak team, due to the injury of several stars in the Penn state game week ago and the need of guarding others for the cru l ciai struggle with Princeton week hence. Under the circumstances, il would not be surprising should the Kentuckians win, provided the state ment that they are stronger than a year ago is based upon Something more substantial than enthusiasm.
 Penn state Vs. Tech
 Abattle royal is certain to develoI when Georgia Tech grapples witt Penn state on the turf recently ripped and scared by the spikes oi the world series baseball players. The oaliber of the Atlanta eleven ranks with that of any team in the country Their speed and power, which have earned them the sobriquet of Colder Tornado" are we'll illustrated in the record made in five games this fall In which 20 points have been scored against 14 by opponents. It was not unti1 Georgia Tech met Rutgers g week ago that its goal line was crossed
 Penn State holds a similar position and rating among the eastern teams When the Pennsylvanians faced liar yard last Saturday only Lehigh had been able to score a touchdown 4 q n tha CtafarC rbav ad Ia r. yard, 21 to IA, with only a few min utes to play when the Crimson staged a desperate rally and by long for ward passed paved the way for a score which tied the game The very latest wrinkles in the way of shifts concelaed at Texas, delayed passes and aerial offense will undoubtedly be uncovered when these elevens un- Timber their up-to-date football bat teries. The southerners are slight favorites, but so closely do the teams appear to be matched that it is likely that the breaks of the game will tir the scales of victory.
 Tiger Stars Back
 Lourie and Garrity, the backf field stars of the Princeton team, are ex- pected to don uniforms again in the contest with the University of Vir. ginia, but their addition to the eleven will be offset by the abs snct of several of the best of the Tiger forwards. Captain Neck. Center vii. mer and possibly one or two other linesmen will be out of the game dus to injuries or resting for the liar yard contest d week away. Virginia comes to Princeton with an impres. sive record and a well coached com bination and it may be necessary fol the Tigers to rush their line stars , into the game, if the third defeat ir three weeks is to be averted.
 Yale Is Favorite
 Of the so-called big three, Yale ap. pears to have the easiest task of the day, for in meeting Brown the Eli: can afford to call into action all oi any portion of the first string play, CTS with two weeks intervening be- fore the classic Princeton game.
 On the showing made this season Brown does not appear as formidable las several of past providence teams which have caused upsets at New Haven, and would be confronted to- morrow by one of the best blue elev. ems in some seasons.
 In the other more important con . tests of the day Pittsburg is favored to defeat Pennsylvania, although ths Quakers may upset calculations by arising to the emergency in the man. ner of former Red and Blue elevens Both the Army and Navy have easy 1 games.
