PROMISE To Be
CLOSELY FOUGHT
Peak of the Football Season
in the East viii Be
Reached Today; Army
Eleven to Battle Yale.

New York, Oct. 27.--The peak
of the eastern pigskin season will
be reached tomorrow.
Three games of outstanding in
terest in this section viii be staged
this side OF the AlleGhenies, while
two eastern teams journey west
for intersections jousts.
The two United States service
elevens are called TO stellar roles,
with the Army battling Yale at
New Haven and the Navy tacklinS
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia. The
third big eastern clash will take
place at Cambridge when Harvard
and Dartmouth renew football re-
lations after a lapse of 10 years.
Princeton and Amherst are the
eastern teams that so wandering,
Princeton faces Chicago ON the
fatter's home gridiron and AM
herst inyades OHIO for clash with
Oberlin.
Tomorrow's games promise to be
closely fought.
An Odd Circumstance.
An odd circumstance is the fact
that OF the eleven more important
games Of the day, only four will
be between institutions that met
on the football field last year.
West Point enters the Yale bowl
with a slightly more impressive
record than that accumulated by
the Blue this season.
The soldiers have played five
games to date, winning all for q
total of 112 points to opponents
six. In the University of Kansas
and Alabama Poly games, the
Army met and defeated two pow
erful elevens playing fast, hard
football of a type not common in
the east. Auburn has been the
only team to score against the sol
diers to date.
OF the five games played by
Yale, Carnegie Tech and Iowa have
proved the strongest elevens en-
countered. Tech was defeated, 10
10 0, but Iowa won from the Blue,
to 0. The Ellis have shown
flashes of strong offensive and
fight hard when defending their
own goal line, but experts have
criticized the eleven's team play.
Harvard appears to have the
edge over Dartmouth. Dartmouth
has not met an opponent outside
of New England this season and
lost to Vermont a week ago. The
renewal Of football relations with
Harvard will undoubtedly spur
the Hanover players to eX-
ceptional exertions, but the advan-
tages possessed by the Crimson APP
pear to outweigh such side lights
of the game.
The Navy has already conquered
two formidable elevens in Bucknell
and Georgia Tech and should be
able to win from Pennsylvania.
The Quakers have not faced
combination of the all-round foot
ball calibre Of the Navy and II
will be interesting to note how they
arise to the test. A victory wouid
be an upset.
East in Middle West.
( The casts representation in the
middle west play tomorrow is not
particularly impressive. Prince
toms record and form to date has
been only fair and much remains
TO be accomplished before the
Tigers can be expected to reach a
playing standard established by
Nassau teams of the past. The
Princeton squad contains much
material of promise but the de-
veioprnent has been slow. Chicago
has been termed the mystery
team of the conference district. In
winning from Georgia, Northwest
ern and Purdue, nothing but the
most elementary plays have been
used. What Coach Alonzo Stage
has reserved for the Tigers remains
"a, be seen, but 1t is probably an eff
fective attack composed of both
eastern and western offense.
