dangerous beast at bay. Look oIt

Glenn Warner, tho Pittsburgh
mentor, faces the biggest test OF
his career in Pittsburgh this af-
ternoon, when the Panthers, sadly
crippled, will face Washington G
jefferson; aheralded as the greatest
team In the East, along with West
Virginia: Princeton, the Army and
Cornell. The best ] can see for

Another big contest in the East
VIII be tthe Syracuse-Colgate tilt
With the odds favoring tho toilet
articles. Colgate has played con-
sistently good football this year
against heavy opposition, while
Syracuse has been pretty much IN

ON whether or not It is Just right
day for the Syracuse players.
The Army's unbroken string OF
Victories or, ties for the Army will
not likely be shattered by Bato3
