Evening star., 1921-09-29

.. In 1920 Holy Cross put up q great
fight against Harvard. being defeated
by a margin of only points. In fact.
: Harvard's goal from the field was the
only score. Holy Cross is reported
to be just as strong as 1t was a year
ago. while Harvard Is just little be-
low It's 1920 strength and speed: that
condition bids fair to develop q con-
test of exceptional merit, notwith-
standing that Harvard probably is
much better than anybody gives 1t
credit for being.
Lafayette Ii Strong.
Lafayette always is strong, and a
year ago put up great fight against
Pittsburgh. That game was in Pitts
burgh, and with Pitt at Lafayette this
week the Eastonians are pretty sure
to put up the most strenuous struggle
of which they are capable. Both teams
undoubtedly have been working with
might and main to get ready for what
each realizes will be a real test.
Swarthmores game at Princeton
should serve to determine in large
measure whether or not the laments
Vhat have come from Tigertown in re-
gard to lack OF material are true or
are bear" stories. Swarthmore
usually has the type of team which
gives the big universities run for
their money in early season contests.
Maryland In Tough Game.
Rutgers has powerful eleven.
much moro powerful than 1t indicat-
! ed against Ursinus, but with two good
kfckers in its lineup, Maryland prob
1bly will put up much more of a
4attle than Is looked for. Up in New
!1ork Rutgers people are claiming that
! Maryland does not have chance, but
any team with good defense and
two good punters has that. Last year
Rutgers beat Maryland. to 0, and
this Saturday both teams are going
to be much stronger when they line
up than when they took the field at
that time.
Washington and Jefferson may
catch a tartar in Bucknell. The
Lewisburg collegians seldom are easy
ito defeat. and probably this season

institution.
Yale Should Win Easily.
Yale's game Saturday is with Uni
versity of Vermont. and it probably

Institution in very short time.
! Navy entertains the North Caro-
i. lima State College eleven at Annapolis

( New Hampshire and the other with

Renn State and Syracuse. other big
eastern elevens. have easy games

' Gettysburg and Ohio University.
Few Big Games In South.
Southern elevens all have games,
but few will meet opponents which
seem strong enough to stand a chance
of causing an upset except the North
Carolina State game with the Navy
and Clemson's clash with Centre Col
| lege. Clemson, though, has a green
| eleven and Centre a powerful machine,
, according to reports. and. while Glenn
| son Is one Of the big southern schools.
from a foot ball viewpoint, it might
be considered that Centre is the big
college and fairly sure to win.
Georgetown plays the only game on
q local field, notwithstanding that
three other schools are scheduled for
contests. Catholic University appears
at University of Richmond.
