TICERSCLASH
WITHHARVARD
AT CAMBRIDGE
Rockne Heads Notre Dame
Team for West Point Game
Saturday.

Intersectional struggle between
Notre Dame and the Army at West
Point, annual clash between Princeton
and Harvard at Cambridge, and i'm
portant games scheduled in all sections
of the country will command attention
of football fans on the weekend.
Although the game which brought
Princeton and Chicago together in n
of the greatest battles ever staged be-
tween two elevens Of different parts
of the county has sort of taken the
edge off similar games to be played
during the remainder of the year. the
result of the Notre Dame-Army game
will attract a lot of attention.
Notre Dame Team Strong
While Coach Rockne has not the
formidable aggregation of last year,
he has a squad which has shown i'm
provement in every game The Hoos-
iers' victory over Georgia Tech, Is to
3. was q creditable performance and
plainly showed the team is improving
with every game. Like former Notre
Dame eleyens which have met the
Army, the middle west eleven will de-
pend mostly upon the aerial attack
and Major Days men had better pre-
pare for plenty Of open work. Coach
Rockne will turn every play loose in
this encounter, as it is n game he
wants to win.
Princeton and Harvard will engage
in their annual contest, which is gem
orally looked forward to by every
follower of football. Because of the
many years these universities have
met On the gridiron. football fans have
been educated to look upon the game
as one of the seasons classics. Unless
the Tigers play better football than
they did against Chicago, the Crimson
should be returned a winner. Princeton
was weak against the straight line at
teak of the Maroons, who showed a
weakness in breaking up forward
passes. Both teams. however, were put
to the test and should profit by mis-
takes.
Wabash to Play w. & j
Aside from the intersectional game
between Notre Dame and the Army.
other contests are on the schedule be-
tween elevens of different sections.
Wabash. known in middle west circles
as the Little Giants, Will meet Wash
ington and Jefferson on the l%atter.s
gridiron. Wabash was beaten by Butler
recently, 8 to 6. Buffers nine points
were the result of three field goals by
Griggs.
In the middle west. games of con
ference Importance will be played. Chi
g which has not been defeated by
a Big Ten eleven. viii meet Ohio State
at Columbus. It will be the Maroons'
first appearance since their Il to Is
defeat by Princeton. II Chicago plays
a little smarter football against the
Buckeyes than they did against the
Tigers. Stages eleven should win. The
Buckeyes have been defeated by Michi-
gan and Minnesota and cannot be said
to be as strong as in former years.
Iowa and Gophers Clash
Iowa. last years conference cham
pion, which has not met with defeat
this year and defeated Yale, 6 to O.,
at Iowa City. It will be homecoming
for the Hawkeyes and the largest
crowd which ever saw a gridiron game
in Iowa will be on hand. Minnesota
met Wisconsin last Saturday and If
the Gophers came through that con-
test in good shape, they should give
Iowa an interesting contest.
Minnesota. under the tutelage of
Bill Spaulding, who is coaching his
first year at the Gopher institution.
has shown his~team's supporters he
knows something about football. The
team is improving right along and
should be at the peak of development
on the week end. Iowa is also a great
team and it should be a battle from
start to finish.
Wisconsin and Illinois will mingle at
Madison in another game of confer
ence Importance. The Badgers are a
powerful aggregation this year, while
illinois. a green team, is showing i'm
provement in every game. 1t will be
