INTERsECTIoNAL GAMES
 AGAIN THE FEATURE


 New York, Oct. 1S (By the A. P.)-In- tersectional games again feature the east ern football card, for tomorrow with the Yale-Iowa and the Arrny-Albama contests as the outstanding clashes. Pennsylvania also will meet Maryland, while Pittsburg and West Virginia play at Pittsburg. In addition there are several strictly sectional games which promise to develop hard, close matches, in the list of more than forty contests scheduled for the east.
 While the football authorities of both Iowa and Yale have stated emphatically that the teams have not been pointed specially for the east-versus-wes struggle in the Yale bowl tomorrow, the fact re mains that the game Is one of the most important in long list of inter-sectional struggles which feature the present sea- son.. Iowa won the western. conference championship last fall, capturing all five of her league contests and scoring IS touchdowns and Is goals for total of 123 points. Yale went through the season with the loss of but one game, Harvard winning 10 to 3 from the Ellis, and was ranked fifth in total scoring among the eastern teams with an aggregate of 101 points.
 Neither Yale nor Iowa will present it's l strongest lineup tomorrow, nor will the players have reached the perfection of l physical or playing form to be expected in the final contest of the year. Never | theless the game will give a reasonably accurate idea of the comparative strength and strategical ability of east and middle western football as played by, represen- tative universities of the two sections. Eastern followers of the game look for a 1 startling display of the far-faned western aerial attack. The same style was ex- pected in the Chicago-P Princeton game of a year ago, however. and Chicago won with straight line attack.
 l Howard Jones, the Iowa coach, Is a graduate of the Yale football school and knows. the eastern game as well as his l brother Tad" Jones, now Jgridiron men l tor at New Haven Howard has had the benefit, however, of playing and planning against some of the best overhead offen- 1 sives developed in the west, and for that reason is probably more conversant and better equipped with such plays and de- 1 fense against them than the Eli coaches l The defeat of Notre Dame last fall by Iowa, 10 to 2, indicates that the forward passing game has no terrors for the Hawkeyes, since Notre Dame was con- ceded to have ths best aerial attack of any team east of the Rockies. If Iowa is to be defeated by Yale it will have tc be by, a. compact attack with the ball con. cealed until the last second. That the Ellis have reached this stage of deve1- opment is doubted by close observers o1 the practice and preliminary games
 The contest at New Haven tomorrow will be Yale's third entry, into the list: against a middle west. team In 1914 tho I Ellis defeated Notre Dame 2S to O., due ir great part to the fact that the visitins l quarterback lost his head and exposed long series of splendid trick plays inside his own 25 yard line so that when tn. real opportunity came to strike the play! had all been diagnosed by the Yal, coaches. Far back In 1899 Yale met wis
 consin during the week trip In which tn, badgers also played, Harvard and Prince
 ton. The Wisconsin eleven with the. fam out Pat o'Dea bunting 60 yard spiral
 off the bulldog to a scoreless tie until tht } final minutes of the game when a Yal, ; back slipped free for long run and tn, winning touchdown.
 Little is known in the east regardin. the strength of the Alabama Poly combin iation which faces the Army at West Point ' Southern reports indicate that the clever
 lSZ stronger than a year ago, and if sucl
 Is the case the team should give tn Ii Cadets strong battle. The Army has run
 up a total of 60 points in three game
 against Springfield, Lebanon and Kansas
 Each of these teams plays different typ
 of football, and the fact that none of tn
 trio was able to score against the Cadet
 indicates that the latter have stroni
 and fundamentally sound defense as wei
 as an attack sufficient to win. in eacl case. <.,
 sl Pittsburgh and West Virginia appea f evenly matched in general ability, but tn rt former players are liable to develop
 zest for scoring. as a result of their defea 2 at the hands ofsLafayette last week, an prove hard to beat. Neither eleven fla ; faced strong, impressive machine thi
 season, aside from Lafayette, which wol from Pittsburg Ito o. The calibre of tn
 Lafayette combination, based upon bot ii the showing last year and to date, indi cates that the power to hold this tear
 to one touchdown would be sufficient t win against the average college team In the other more important games 70 1 the day. Pennsylvania Is generally select
