Cornell is building. however, for
late November and will not attain all
her possibilities until then. SO with
Princeton, Yale and Harvard and
other elevens that do not begin prac-
tice in summer and meet all I'M
portant natural rivals in late Novem-
ber. In this connection IT might be
said that an October team OF the Big
Three bears about as much com
parison, as a rule, with these same
teams in mid November, as well as
Princeton compared with Norte Dame
last Saturday.
Princeton ON Breaks.
Princeton, by the way. plays an
important game against the Navy at
Baltimore tomorrow. The Tigers are
still in a formative state, while the
Navy, although beaten by Penn State.
really outplayed BeZdek's men in all
departments of straight offense. Thus,
whether Princeton can stand the
Midshipmen at bay will depend upon
how far the Tigers have been brought
since last Saturday. Since the Navy
seems slack in the open and prone to
suffer from breaks-wherein the
Tigers are always formida ble-it
looks as though Princeton might take
this game by a narrow margin.
Wisconsin, Minnesota. Here is per-
the week end. The Badgers, after a
deliberate start, suddenly took fire
against Indiana last week and
smothered the Hoosiers. Minnesota
lacks so versatile a backfield per-
former as Taft of Wisconsin. and in
juries have retarded the progress of
an outfit potentially very strong
Wisconsin therefore should win this
game. But it will likely prove a
tough contest.
Georgia Tech-Notre Dame. Unless
the South Benders have played them
selves out in two hard eastern con-
tests they should defeat the south
erners. who, however. have been i'm
proving steadily since the season
opened.
Brown May Check Yale.
Yale-Brown. The Ellis have been
buZzing through the season on all
skies and are due some day for a
fine bump. Brown is likely to slow
up the Ellis to some extent, but seems
| hardly qualified to win this game.
Harvard Dartmouth. The Crimson
has been stumbling along slowly thus
far, but must have come along fast in
| the past week. Dartmouth has shown
steady Improvement, too, but Harvard
| additionally has a winning edge over
| the Green and White, and with d more
adequate coaching system should win.
! West Virginia. State. Unlike
most critics the writer is picking
the Mountaineers to win this game.
They are a formidable crowd. and
Coach Bob Spears has taught them a
| lot of foot ball.
Purdue-Chi The "Stagg fears
Purdue" classic is again heard, but
| the Maroons should have little trou-
BILE in beating the boilermakers.
Iowa In Stride.
| Ohio State-Iowa Looks as though
| the Hawks should take the Buckeyes
| into camp. The Iowans played a
I mighty strong game against Illinois
last week, and seem better geared for
a winning game than DR.. Wilce's men.
| Columbia Williams. Williams is
! likely to take Haughton's men into
! camp.
| oregon should beat Idaho and South
ern California certainly should defeat
! Whittier.
! California Washington State This
! is an important game, and unless all
, preliminary dope fails, the Bears
| should take the honors.
/ Pennsylvania Centre. If the Ken
tuckians defeat the Quakers. it will
| surprise no one conversant with the
| way affairs have been developing
| down in Danville. Pennsylvania
new coaching system has not yet got
to working with consistent results.
| Nebraska Missouri. After that Kan
sas surprise, Nebraskans will not fee
safe about Missouri until the game
Is won-if II is won.
