trio OF BIG
EASTERN GAMES
Up FOR TODAY
Army Plays Yale; Navy
Tackles Penn; Harvard
. Faces Dartmouth.

New York, Oct 27.-The peak of
the eastern pigskin season will be
reached tomorrow.
Three games of outstanding interest
in this section will be staged this side
of the A~lleghenies, while two eastern
teams journey west for intersection
~jousts.
The two United States service
eleyens are called to stellar roles, with
the Army battling Yale at New Haven
and the Navy tackling Pennsylvania at
Philadelphia. The third big eastern
clash will take place in Cambridge
| when Harvard and Dartmouth renew
football relations after a lanse of 10
years.
Princeton and Amherst are the
eastern teams that go wandering;
| Princeton faces Chicago on the ~latter's
home gridiron and Amherst invades
| Ohio for a clash with OberliD.
All of tomorrow's games promise to
be closely fought.
An odd circumstance is the fact that
Of the II more important games Of
| the day, only four will be between in
| situations that met on the football field
| last year.
West Point a Fayorite
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 a total of III
points to their opponents E. Auburn
has been the only team TO score against
the Soldiers to date.
OF the five games played by Yale.
Carnegie Teach and Iowa have proved
the strongest elevens encountered.
| Tech was defeated 13 to O.. but Iowa
won from the Blue g to 0. The Ellis
have shown flashes of a strong of
~fensive and fight hard when defending
| their own goal lines, 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 Eng
land this season and lost to Vermont
q week ago. The renewal of football re
Iations with Harvard undoubtedly will
| spur the Hanover players to excep-
tional exertions. but the advantages
| possessed by the Crimson appear to
outweigh such sidelights of the game.
The Navy already has conquered two
| formidable e~leyens in Buckneil and
| Georgia Tech and should be able to
| win from Pennsylvania.
| The OuakerS nave not Iaceu a FOH-
| bination of the all around football
| calibre of the Navy and it will be in
teresting to note how they arise to the
| test. A victory would be an upset.
What VII Stage Do?
The casts representation in the
| middel west play tomorrow is not par
ticularly impressive. Princeton's 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
| the Nassau teams of the past. The
| Princeton squad contains much ma
| terial OF promise but the ~developmenl
! has been slow Chicago has been term
ed the mystery" team. In winning
| from Georgia, Northwestern and
| Purdue. nothing but the most elemen-
tary plays have been used. What Coach
| Alonzo Stagg has reserved for the
| Tigers remains to be seen, but it is
probably an effective attack composed
| Of both eastern and western offense.
Amherst also meets an unknown
quantity in Oberlin.
In the other leading eastern games,
/ Rncknell' and Pittsburgh appear evenly
matched. Lafayette will have the edge
over Boston college and Penn State
I appesrs superior to Syracuse. Rutgers,
in facing West Virginia, will have an
opponent of aggressiveness and power
| and Columbia should be extended by
| Williams.
