Norwich bulletin., 1922-11-25

New York, Nov. 24-Finis will be written tomorrow at the foot of most Of the college football schedules in the east The two outstanding contests are the classic clashes between Harvard and Yale and Army and Navy.
 Not in many years have the two games been played on the same after noon. It speaks volumes for the unpre- cedented popularity of college football that regardless of the double bill more than one hundred thousand ticket aprli- cations were of necessity refused for both the New Haven and the Philadel- phia games.
 The outcome of both contests appears to hinge upon the breaks and the quick ness with which opportunities are grasp ed The Ellis appear to be a trifle strong CT in line and backfield and to have more powerful offense than Harvard.
 To date this offensive has not been remarkable for briIliancy in handling and several times has slowed to mo- diocrity at crucial moments. Whether Harvard in the Yale bowl will stinu- late the Blue to unexpected heights of play against it's traditional rival is something that only the game will tell.
 Yale has a powerful line with an impressive center trio probably strong CT than Harvard's center and guards
  cient superiority to counter-balance and thus eQualize the lines. The Blue back field both in first and second string ma- terial Is a better scoring combination than Harvard's. It is not likely to func- tion with the same SmoothneSS and de- captive power as the Crimson's, partic ularly if Buell. is at quarter for HaIr- yard.
 The result appears to depend to a great extent upon the combinations us ed in the two backtleIds and the phy- sicaI ability of certain players. For Har- l ward, both quarterback Buell. and Half back Owen are essential and neither is | in perfect condition. Although Buell. is carded to start 1t is expected he will give way to Spaulding. Mallory and Wight may or may not begin for Yale | and neither may O'Hearn- 1 Buell. is one of the best field generals | in the east But is susceptible to injury. Owen is the Crimson's best p!unging | back and is as strong as Captain Jor- dan of Yale. Wight of Yale is a kicker extraordinary. Mallory is one of the best l defensive backs in the country and O. i Hearn a remarkably accurate field goal ! kicker.
 The question of substitutes may look | large and in this department Yale is ] stronger. ...-..
 A careful analysis shows Yale has l a more powerful! first and second string 1 combination and perhaps a slight ad vantage in physical condition. To off set this, Harvard with it's best clever will have smoother and more deceptive attack and the football brains to tak' adantage of the slightest slip of he opponents. Harvard's system can alway! be counted as twenty-five per cen: O hA brYf i+ d iron genius to keep it going.
 The Army-Navy battle at Philadel
 phia, with its traditionally co!orful set
 ting promises a keen contest, with tn
 West Pointers conceded slight edge
 Both teams are expected to play al
 open game, but the Cadets. with tw'
 brilliant receivers and passers in quar
 terback Smythe and Full back Wood, ar
 thought better equipped for it.
 Wood, 8 consistent kicker and cleve open field runner, is one of the leadin
 triple-threat stars of the east, whil Banchel fully recovered from injuries
 will give the Navy brilliant plungin and running back.
 The Navy, has won three straigh games since the war, each time by tn l margin of a single touchdown. Tomorrow's clash vii be the twenty fifth between rivals, the Navy havin ) to it's credit twelve victories and th } Army eleven. with one contest a ti' } A West Point victory thus would Ii } the count.
 l The Dartmouth-Brown game at Bo: } ton, the Notre Dame-Carnegie Tech tus 5 sle at Pittsburgh and the annual Lt F high-Lafayette contest at Easton, Pa ] are other outstanding games. : Leading games today, together wit scores for 1921 where the rival teaI l met, follow:
