Cornell's comparatively untried backfleld will face a veteran and brilliant quartet in Oberlander, Hall, Leavitt and Dooley, schooled in bit- ter competition. Ithaca hopes center in the Cuban, Molinet, who saw his first varsity service against Columbia two weeks ago. His remarkable sprintss have raised the Dobie- | coached eleven from despondency, but Patterson, Whetstone and Eslay also have developed into capable performers.

 It was the ninth meeting of the| rivals and each has won four timesl
 Conditions of field and weather| were ideal at Minneapolis for Harold Red" Grange, the Illinois sensa Il tional back. to accomplish some of his famous sprints. The GophersI intact and in good condition, were given but slim chance of doing much as result of their tie with Ames last year Coach Zuppke of the Illini planned 10 use the same lineup that went into action against Chicago last week.
 Chicago was d decided favorite in it's traditional battle with North western here. Northwestern had a crippled lineup with an open attack centering around the fleet Ralph Baker.
 [ A record conference attendance was in prospect for the Buckeye 49th annual homecoming at Colum bus, with Ohio State host to Michi- gan. Odds favored the Wolverines, defeated by only Illinois, while Coach Wilce of Ohio had line weakened by injuries,

SEVEN MAJOR CONTESTS ON
 EASTERN GRLDLRONS TODAY
All Are Important But Yale ys. Princeton and Harvard ys. Brown Hold Most Interest in This Section of Country.
By ITO As,olod Press,

By '.e AsR1 tl..l l'tNs,
 New York, Nov. la,-ScNcu major contests aul d grist ot minor cn- agreements, al, leading uD to the hnal turusts of inc season, are carded for the eastern intercollegiate gridiron today The spotlight Of public in- torest Will be directed on Palmer stadium at Princeton where the Princeton Tiger and the Yale Bull dog meet in their annual game.
 Closely pressing this classic in the matter of interest will he Cornell's meeting with the nndofeated Dart mouth team at the Polo Grounds. At West Point, the Columbia team will meet the Army while in Phila- delphia an urdeteated Quaker will parry the thrusts of a Penn State foe.
 Other contests that will attract interest include the Harvard-Brown game at Cambridge, the Navy Buckne'l game at Annapolis, the Pittsburgh Washington & Jefferson game at Pittsburgh and the meeting of Amherst and Williams for the championship of the Little Three at Amherst, Mass,
 Two intersecuonal games Of in- terest are also scheduled today in end the Boston College = Centenary game. the former at Detroit and the latter in Boston.
 The meeting of the Tiger and thc Bulldog will be the major classic of the day Princeton, smarting under a defeat from Notre Dame and a tie from Lehigh, will nevertheless enter the lists with confidence owing to the decisiveness of its 34 to 0 victory over Harvard at Cambridge last week. Yale, undefeatod, hut tied by Dartmouth and West Point, will base it's claim to consideration on a stal- wart defense,
 The COrnoll-Dartm0uth clasl brings together two strong teams Cornell. defeated by Rutgers ant Williams on successive Saturdays early in the season, apparently ha' hit it's stride as was demonstrated ir It's games against Columbia and Sus ouehanna while Dartmouth, tied by Yale but triumphant over Harvard will present an obstacle which Cor nell will find difficult to hurdle.
 Princeton, Dartmouth, Pennsyl vania and the Army are generalr favored to win, but in each insanc the opposition is expected to be DO tent. A few of tho more importan games for today follow;

 If the information that has reach ed this city is true, the All-Bridge- port football eleven looks forward 10 a romp at Memorial field tomor- row afternoon against the All-New 1 l3ritains From reliable source, Manager Michael w. Healey has made the crack" that his team will win Sundays game by four tonch- downs. While 1t is generally accept ed that the Park City eleven is a good one, the reported remarks about trouncing tho locals so de- cisively has nettled the All-New Britains and their following. There are a few skeptics in town that can see nothing but disaster for the To- calls, after the loss of last Sundays game, but on the other hand there Is still that gang of true Slue foot ball fans who are still rallying around the flag, and are sure that the All-NeW Britans will repeat the great performance of 1922, when the All. .Bridgeports were beaten at Han over park, Mcriden, 60, It may be recalled that it was due 10 block cd punt by Red" O'Ncil. that paved the way for the touchdown. The same "Red' ONeil will be with the locals tomorrow for the first time this season, after ending glorious career at the Connccticut Aggics.
 A squint at the lineup of the AL Bridgeport team will tell the story that Manager Healoy has splendid array of players this season. Many will be out to see Ching" Hammll, one Of the fleetest hackfield boys in the country, in the lineup of the visitors. It was sensational 60- yard run through a broken fed at Hartford last Sunday, hy Hammill that c'inchod the victory for the Park City eleven over the West Sides, Hanmill, like EEddie Barni- koW, was at one time member of the All-New Britain team, and again like Rarnikow, his offer to play here this season was turned down hy the local anaGement. It should prove interesting to sen just what the flash" can do against his old mates. Thero appears to be strong like lihoo1 that Stan Kennedy will call the plays in tOmorrow's game. He will have with him in the backfinld. Neville, Johnny Landers and Rcd" O'Nel The officials will ho as fol- lows: Referee, Hart, Noridon; um- pre, Murphy. Waterbury; bead linesmar, Coulter, Hartford. The kickoff is set at o:3O o'clock.

Coach Bob Xuppko of Illinois realizes football victories are won on merit, yet he is the most supcrsti- tious individual in all the world.
 The number Of Red" Grange is IF. Zuppko is well aware that fin African golf, IS a potent number He has supplied Grange with two of i them.
 Last season Illinois tied with i Michigan for the Big Ten tile, This year Xuppke insisted every man wear the same numerals as last sea son.
 They do not say that Mrs. Zuppke once made a trip to Minneapolis for the Minnesota game. Illinois was soundly trounccd. Mrs. Zuppke makes no more trips to the Minne- sota game.
 Nothcr Won His Over
 Incidentally Mrs. Tuppke must oc- cupy the same seat at all the games played in the Illinois stadium.
 The story goes that number Of years back certain student who Uidn't have one chance in q thou sand came out for the football team.
 Just about the time Tuppke was about 10 tell the young man he was better qualified for some other sport, he received a letter from the boy s mother, tclinr' him of her groat pride in having a son fighting for Illinois and that she constantly prayed for the teams success
 Is Strict Di,ciplinarian
 Zuppke is q strict discipinarian He doesn't feel that sympathy and sentiment have place in football, yet the mother interest won him over
 For three years he carried tho young man on the squad and gave him a number Of chances 10 break into the lineup in games that were cinched.
 Just didn't have the heart to fire the young man from the squad after I got that letter from his mother" explained Zuppkc.
 And what's more l didn't want her 10 stop praying for Illinois"
 So after all mother interest can get under the touEhhide Of a major = college coach, who is up against so i many problems tat hn boconcs Q more or less hard boiled in his view = point.
 2 Once upon a time Illinois rootcrs { at a certain away-from-home game !, decided to change their cheering { section.

It tended to take some Of the sting out of the scandal stuff in which the Giants found themselves en- meshed just before the start of the series.
 Then. with Washington was Wal ter Johnson, base balls greatest fla vorite. Even since he broke into the American league, fandom has been pulling for him to get a chance in the world series.
 Incidentally the winning of the pennant by Washington broke the domination of the two New York clubs, something the fans outside of New York were pulling for.
 Conditions made the Washington club popular fayorite. It had the moral support Of the fans of the country excepting, of course, the rabid partisans of the Giants.
 Washington adIed zest to the world series that would have other wise been lacking. The 1924 event thrilled even the blase baseball writ CTS who have been covering the series since it's inception.
 There is no denying that a steady dict Of the same thing, no matter how appealing it may be at first, after period of time loses it's kick. I2ndon had tired even of New Iork's two great teams. l Tennis, a great sport. finds itself at present in puch the same position that baseball had been in.

Continued superiority by a team or individual in any sport tends to kill of enthusiasm, even If il doesn't lessen the interest.
 This fact was proved beyond a doubt by the recent world series be- tween the New York Giants and the Washington Senators. It has been years since any series had the thrill of that one,
 Back in 1924 the New York Giants and Yankees began to win pennants. For three years these two teams hogged the spotlight The world series each year offered the same old attraction.
 After the second meeting the crit ics phophesied a frost if the two teams met for a third time, This was a bad guess from an attendance standpoint
 The interest was there. The fans showed it by breaking all attendance records. The enthusiasm, however was lacking. The games were rather cut-and- dried affairs. The 1 fans came because it was a spectacle rather than a ball game.
