Florida Gators to Meet Har-

BY Associated Press

New York. November 3.-Intersec-
tional games and gridiron tussles be-
tween teams of extraordinary playing
calibre and records feature the foot
ball card in the east tomorrow.
The University of Florida faces
Harvard; Nebraska meets Syracuse
and Alabama tackles Pennsylvania in
the interseetional portion of the
schedule. In this city Lafayette will
clash with Washington and Jefferson
and what has been termed the near
est approach to a game between the
two a1l-American elevens Is expected.
In the second flight of the after
noon, Brown is found opposing Yale;
Columbia will try to check Cornell;
Princeton will entertain Swarthmore;
Holy Cross and Georgetown will
clash; Dartmouth lines up against
Boston university and Amherst will
grapple with Wesleyan.
Little accurate information Is
available here regarding the actual
playing strength of the three teams
which invade the section for tomor-
rows contests. While all have good
records in their own territory the
scheme of attack and the calibre of
opponents to date Is more or less
vague. By strange coincidence.
Florida, Nebraska and Alabama are
all heavy, powerful combinations and
on sheer weight appear to be formid-
able opponents. Florida Is understood
to boast line which averages 200
pounds to the man.
Subs Against Florida
Harvard will start a team Of sub
stitutes against Florida, but the best
players Will be available in case they
are needed. With the Princeton con-
test but week away, it is under
stood that Harvard desires to save
the first string men If possible.
Nebraska made an excellent show
ing during its eastern invasion a few
seasons ago. At that time the west
ern eleven included many rangy and
powerful players who did not appear
to reach the full limit of their foot
ball possibilities. Under the coaching
of Dawson this defect is said to have
been remedied. Syracuse also has a
squad of unusually husky players
who showed great defensive power In
the games against Penn State and
Brown. Extensively, the Syracuse
eleven was not impressive but the
possibilities are there and the team
may find itself in the Nebraska strug-
gle.
AIabama-Penn Game
Pennsylvania's remarkable come
back and overthrow of the Navy
last Saturday stamps the combination
one of real gridiron worth. While
Alabama may prove a foe of unex-
eected strength, the Quakers should
be able to hold the southerners In
check unless there is let-down fol-
lowing the victory over the Middies.
Brown undoubtedly will give Yale a
hard contest. With the Princeton and
Harvard games rapidly approaching.
the Eli coaches doubtless will en-
deavor to save their best players.
This should help Brown, and the re-
sultant scoring is likely to be both
close and low in total
similar situation will prevail at
Princeton. The Tigers, fresh from
their sensational victory over Chicago
and facing a gruelling struggle with
Harvard next Saturday are not likely
to throw the last ounce of power into
the Swarthmofe game. The visiting
team has remarkable punter and
running back In Asplunth. A FUN
Bile of one Of his long kicks or other
similar break in favor of Swarthmore
might change the aspect of the game
In the meeting of Lafayette and
Washington and jefferson, two teams
with unblemished records will clash.
Both have swept through two sea-
