to the exact status of their teams in
the days preceding a crucial game.
But on form shown to date and
allowing for rather decided i'm
provement on Yale's part, it would
seem that Princeton should win by d
small margin after a tough game.
One can say no less than this in view
of what the Tigers showed at Cam
bridge and what Yale has shown thus
far. Breaks of various sorts might
upset all this, but one has to assume
that breaks viii not occur-even
though SO often they do.

THREE BIG BATTLES
ON EASTERN FIELDS

NEW YORK, November 14.-Foot
ball interest this week is centered
in a compact Eastern triangle, New
York, where Dartmouth and Cornell
clash; Philadelphia, with Penn State
and undefeated Penn at grips, and
Princeton, where Princeton encoun-
ters Yale.
Penn, perhaps. will face the su-
preme test. although State fell be-
fore Georgia Tech and Syracuse on
successive Saturdays. A week ago,
however, Hugo Bezdek's men, driven
to desperation, humbled the Carnegie
Tech, conquerors of Pitt. by % to 6.
The Navy was also a Penn State VIC
tim.
Lou Young, coach of the university
eleven. realizes that his prominence in
the foot ball records Of 1924, is not
altogether due to a powerful attack
and has begun driving hard for to-
morrows engagement. Penn's mar
gin over Georgetown last Saturday
was only to O. victory coming from
a placement goal by kruez in the
final period, hardly an impressive
conquest for the only undefeated, un-
tied foot ball team of caliber in the
East.
State and Penn have been rivals
~
been played, Penn winning 19 and
one contest being tied. But Of the
last four Penn has won but one, that
in 1922 when Poss Miller led his men
TO 7-to-6 victory.
Dartmouth will strive to creep
from under a heap Of touchdoWnS
piled up by Cornell in the last few
years, starting with the humiliating
interment of 90 to {, in 1921. A
year later the Dobies won, % to 0,
measured Harvard by 13 to 0, George
Pfann of the Red Tornado whirled
down the field at Hanover and left
Dartmouth .bewildered and defeated,
80 to T.
Only expert play can keep the
f1ashy Cuban, Molinet; the veteran
Patterson, and the youthful Islay and
Howke elm of Cornell in check.
Yale this year is pointed for
Princeton, not Harvard, for Tad
convinced him that the Crimson
could offer only mediocre opposition
a week hence. Princeton, however,
displayed an attack that must be
reckoned with.
Indications are that Roper will
start his light and fast backfield, in
Guiding Slagle and Williams, who
slipped through the Harvard line
almost at will. Practice at New
Haven, on the other hand. has fore
told an aerial contest, the short,
accurate Yale passes corresponding
in great part to the brand displayed
by the Tigers.

PENN ELEVEN BOOKS
ILLINOIS AND CHICAGO

PHILADELPHIA. November IA
The University of Pennsylvania foot
ball team will meet both the Uni
verstty of Illinois and the University
Of Chicago at Franklin Field next
year under home-and- home ar
rangement, 1t has been learned Off
cially.
The date for the contest with Chi
cago tentatively has been fixed for
October "a and that with Illinois one
week later.
Under the agreements. which Penn
sylvania foot ball officials said will
be sanctioned by the council on
athletics, the return game with Illi-
nois will be played in the new sta
dunn of the Western institution in
the fall of 1926, while that with Chi
cago will not be played until 1927
The Chicago game probably will be
held in the great municipal stadium
in Chicago.
In addition to these intersectional
contests. the Pennsylvania eleven has
arranged for home-and- home games
with Brown University.

st. Mary's. much weaker this season
than usual, will face Catholic Univer-
sity at Brookland.
Gallaudet. by the way, is manifest
ing much interest In the Catholic
UniversityGeorge Washington game
to be played Thanksgiving day. The
Kendall Greeners consider themselves
at least as strong either of the
two teams scheduled to play and
would like to arrange post-season
game with the winner.
In order to insure themselves one
of the greatest games ever played
in the South. Alabama will have to
beat Centre College and Georgia de-
feat Auburn In tomorrow's games. 1t
seems reasonable to expect both to
win. though If either drops by the
wayside it more than likely will be
Georgia.
Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt are
due to play in Atlanta tomorrow.
The Importance that was expected to
attach to the game when 1t was
scheduled is missing, as both schools
have been defeated by other confer
ence elevens
Resides the Princeton-YaIe game,
about which columns already have
b, en- written, several other contests
that are bound to bring out much
that is spectacular and best In foot
ball are scheduled tomorrow. The
Pittsburgh Washington and jefferson
game, at Pittsburgh; the Penn State
Pennsylvania clash, at Philadelphia; );
Notre Dame VS.. Nebraska, at South
Bend, and Ohio State VS.. Michigan at
Columbus, are some of them.
Anybody who makes predictions
about the probable outcome of a foot
ball game when the teams are fairly
evenly matched apparently knows lit
tie or good deal about the game
and in either case makes a mistake
If he knows little he runs the risk
of having everybody find 1t out and
If he knows a good deal he runs the
risk of making everybody think that
he knows nothing
OF all the big games scheduled. it
seems that the greatest chance of
possible upset lies in the Penn State
Pennsylvania game. Pennsylvania
out in front in the east, according to
experts, should be a victor over Penn
State. However, 1t would not be a
great surprise If the Quakers had
more than their hands full when they
get out on Franklin Field tomorrow
afternoon.

the Princeton game. If this proves
not to be the case, then the Ellis are
in for a trimming. But the chances
are that Yale will be ready mentally
and physically and the result of the
game. therefore, will depend upon the
merits of instruction in each camp.
Yale Declared Lucky.
The New Haven team has not yet
met the desires. the expectations of
its well wishers West Point played
the superior game when the two met
and should have won. Then the eleven
narrowly escaped beating by Brown
and was extremely lucky to get an
even break with Dartmouth. while
all thaQ enabled her to win the
Georgia game was forward pass
decision that did not look any too
good.
In other words. good fortune rather
than good foot ball has served to
keep Yale among the unbeaten teams
of the country. But as every one who
follows Big Three foot ball knows,
what Yale. Harvard or Princeton do
in October is not always an earnest
of what they will do in November
Princeton demonstrated this quite
clearly at Cambridge last Saturday.
In all games Yale has played thus
far against strong opponents she has
shown herself to be some what thick
witted and none too wise, or strong in
line play. Her method of defense
against forward pass has been
ridiculously ill-advised and unless the
