Just Two More Clashes And It
 Will All Be Ouer

NEW YORK. NOV. 1S.-On two days within the next two weeks-Satur- day. the 24th, and Thanksgiving Day, the 29th-the final games of woozy football season in the east will be fought out and then some of the brighest of the stars will be twinked off forever. Yale, the undefeated, the team that not only beat Prince ton but made a bigger score against the Tiger than Notre Dame rolled up few weeks ago, will lose many or the players Who now form the finest attacking force that has worn the ! blue in many years. The bright shin ing names of many exceptional play CTS in many schools will shine only with the soft afterglow which keeps old regulations agleam in school tra- ditions.
 With only one game to go, Yale l and Cornell, who do not meet, are the undefeated. united champions of the ] east. and the logic of the situation leads to the belief that they will share the championship Cornell has been merely consistent in going un- defeated through another season, but Yale heaved up from the very bottom of the pack. Last year Yale was i.whipped by both Princeton and liar yard, the saddest disaster the fancy of a Big Three man can conjure, and to make terrible matter worse the record showed a third defeat by Iowa and tie by the Army.

 Princeton Under Dog.
 This year it was Princeton. with a slow starting, not particularly heady backfield, which lost both Big Three games, and from the pinnacle of tri- umph and the championship Prince ton has flopped to depth hitherto explored by only a few unfortunate teams.
 As interest centers on the Big ! Three when eastern football is con sidered, Princeton and Harvard are made very conspicuous at time when it is embarrassing to be Spromi- nent. Their teams are their worst in years, and Yales team is Yales best in a long, long time of waiting and rasping at the coaches.
 The Big Three will get through next Saturday when Harvard plays Yale. Beaten by Brown, which sue cumbed to Yale 21 to g. and beaten also by Dartmouth. Harvard will not be conceded a very strong chance against Yale. The only other big school game on the eastern schedule 1 for next Saturday will be the one between Lehigh and Lafayette, but Lafayette is less important this year | than a year ago, having been tied
 
 Syracuse vs. Nebraska.
 Syracuse does not play in the east, 1 but goes to Lincoln to keep a return date with the Nebraska team that startled and stopped Notre Dame last week. The Syracuse schedule was rather easy in spots, but with vic tories over Hobart, William and Mary, Alabama, Pittsburg, Spring l field, Penn State and Boston univer- 1 sity the Syracuse team was on the way to a tie for the roomy title known as the football championship | Then on Saturday Syracuse met Col gate and Waterloo at Syracuse. As Cornell had previously beaten Col- gate very severely, the result of Sat urdays game left no doubt of Cor nell's superiority over Syracuse. | There are four games for Thanks | giving between the better known schools of the east. Cornell meets Penn at Philadelphia and should I have an easy afternoon on the last day of the season. Penn State plays l Pittsburg, and the comparison is all In favor of State. West Virginia plays Washington and Jefferson, and Columbia will meet Dartmouths in l New York. >
 Among the secondary teams, St Johns of Brooklyn, which had won all games, was stopped Saturday by | Providence with a tie score of 6 to G. The College of the City of New York | lost for the seventh time, being de- feated by Fordham. Thus the C. c
 N. Y. has lost every game and has not scored point all season. which | IS believed to be a new low record oI at least the equal of the old one.
