are the classic clashes between Har.

Not in many Years have the two
games been played on the same AZ.
ternoon. 1t speaks volumes for the
unprecedented popularity of COLLEGE
football that regardless of the doubls
bill more than 100000 ticket appli.
cations were of necessity refused for
both the New Haven and the phila.
delphia games.
The outcome of these two games
like many another this fall, appears
to hinge upon the breaks of the NAV
and quickness with which opportu.
mites to score are. seen and grasped
In the case of the Yale Harvard
struggle, the Ellis appear to be a
trifle stronger in line and backfe,d
and to have more powerful offense
TO date this offensive has not been
remarkable for brilliancy in handling
and has several times slowed down
to mediocre standards at the mos,
crucial moments of advance.
Whether in the final game. tbo
appearance of Harvard in the ya,e
bowl will stimulate the Blue to nm.
expected heights of play against its
traditional rival from Cambridge is
something that only the game will
tell. '''
Yale has a strong, powcrfu, linz
with a particularly impressive center

CRIMSON ends possibly hold sufficient
superiority to counterbaIance and
thus equalize the lines. The Rlue
backfeld, both in first and second
string material. is better scoring

In case these players do not take

stltute material will loom large. In

having considerable choice of ma.

excess of Harvard.
The Army and Navy battle on
FRANKLIN Field at PHILADELPHIA. with
IT'S traditional colorful setting of no.
tables in official and social life,
promises to develop a keen contest
between two powerful, veteran ag-
sresatlons, with the West Pointers

Army's chances, on the whole,
loom brighter tina nusuaI to break the
victorious march of the Navy, which

the war each time by the margin Of

Iomorrow's clash will be the 18th
between the service rivals. the Navy
having to its credit so far twelve
victories and the Army eleven, with
one contest a tie. A West Point vic.
tory thus would tie the count for the
series.
Inc Dartmouth Brown game at
Boston, the Notre Dame Carnegie
Tech tussle at Pittsburgh and the
annual Lehigh-La Fayette contest at
Easton' Pa. are other outstanding
games.
Brown, especially the strength OF

ward, is favored to defeat Dartmouth

Carnegie Tech. with an unusually
strong team Should give Notre Dame
a stiff battle. while La Fayette. de-
feated but once this season. appears
decidedly superior to Lehigh.
Boston College and Georgetown are
fairly evenly matched.
Harvard last year defeated Yale
10 to 5.
Navy beat Army Z to 0, and George
town won over Boston College II 10
