YALE-HARvARD and
! ARMY BATTLES
HOLD Center STAGE

Two of the greatest football events
of the season come as rival attrac-
lions on tomorrow's schedule.
Yale and Harvard engage in their
annual classic in the New Haven bowl
and the championship Of the United
States service will be decided in the
aew Pennsylvania stadium between
the Army and the Navy.
Competition between the two will
be negligible from a business stand
point, as they each have enough of
a personal following to twice fill any
stadium in the country.
Yale and Harvard have had a long
time claim on the last Saturday in
November while the service academies
usually battled a week later. The ter
rible weather that the Cadets and the
Midshipmen drew in the past three
years, however, caused the athletic
officers of West Point and Annapolis
to decide on an earlier date.
From a general standpoint, the
Army Navy conflict will be the game
of the day and it should be a whale
of a game
The Cadets are represented by the
best team of the last four years and
the Midshipmen have come into the
habit of developing great elevens
since Bob POWELL took charge.
Lines Are Strong
Both have wonderful playing lines
and both have fine running and over
head attacks. In Smythe, the Army
has found long needed field general
and in Shaggy Cullen, the Navy has
developed a great kicker, something
that the midshipmen have lacked for
three years.
The two elevens look to be evenly
1 matched and many of the critics are
I picking the Army to win. The Cadets,
however, to beat the Navy, will have
to show smarter football than they
have displayed in several of the earlier
games. If it comes down to case of
brainwork, the Navy ought to win.
Harvard booted all chances for the
big Three" title and. exploded lot
of fine hopes when the Crimson was
beaten and made to look very bad by
Princeton. Up to that game, Harvard
was generally considered by the
critics as the most powerful team in
the east The defeat of the Crimson
was not as much a surprise, as the
manner in which it was brought about.
: Harvard made errors of fundamental
football and mistakes in judgment that
have never occurred since the Haugh-
ton system was installed.
Harvard Should Win
Yale was slow in developing this
year and was following obsolete foot
ball tactics until the Army held the
Ellis to a tie. Since then, Yale has
sprung up wonderfully and as re-
suit, the New Haven eleven will be
the favorite tomorrow.
1t must be remembered, however,
that Yale was a big fayorite last year
and yet lost the game because they
played much like Harvard did against
Princeton. 1t must be remembered al
so that Harvard will not make the mis-
takes that caused the downfall in the
Princeton game.
Regardless of all that has hap
pened, it is our opinion that Harvard
should win.
Cornell, Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh,
Penn State, Centre and Georgia Tech
have Thanksgiving games and being
idle tomorrow, the schedule is rather
light.
Lafayette and Lehigh will have their
annual battle at Easton. Dartmouth
and Brown meet at Providence and
the Washington and Jefferson eleven
goes west for game with the Uni
versity of Detroit.
The Western Conference will have a
busy day with games between Illinois
and Ohio State, Iowa and Northwest
ern, Chicago and Wisconsin and Michi-
gan and Minnesota.
Out on the Pacific coast the annual
tussle between California and Stan
ford will be the big game of the day.
