New York, Oct. 2s GP) - Two oi
 the elevens due to tangle with in-
 tersectional opponents in the out
 standing features Of Saturdays
 grid card Navy of the east and
 Illinois of the west - will keeI
 their undefeated records safe il
 preparedness can help them.
 Benny Friedman and "Ooster-
 baan" have joined the Navy scrub
 team to prepare the regulars for
 the flood of aerlals the Middies ex-
 pect at Annapolis when the famous
 passing duo of Michigan swings
 into action Saturday. Out In the
 west, Coach Bob Zuppke, having
 heard of the singular elbow pads worn by the sleight-of-hand ex- perts in the Pennsylvania back neld. that now and then twist into pemblance of football when the wearer Is entirely innocent of ball. carrying activities, has equipped his Illinois freshmen with similar appurtenances AS double precau- tion he has asked the Penn squad to paint their pads black so that at least part of the mystery of the great hidden ball attack can be solved
 The position of Friedman" at quarterback and "Oosterbaan" on the end will not be enjoyed by any member of the middle squad this week. Last year that combination threw a curtain of passes over the middies that threatened to blot out khs sunlight and piled up 54 points in debacle that left the Navy thirsting for revenge.
 Two other undefeated elevens, Lafayette and Washington and Jef- ferson. are taking breathing spell before preparing to eliminate each other from a place in the sun. Both have won five straight games to fit themselves for the annual battle, crammed with ancient rivalry.
 Army is without kicker of note now that the injured Trapnell is on the sidelines and wishes there was Santa Claus kind enough to drop half dozen capable substitutes in Coach Biff Jones' stocking some morning. The team is taking things easy as a start for Yale Saturday and at the same time wishing Brown hadn't twisted the Bulldogs tail last week. Penn did the same thing to the Ellis just before the Army contest in 1925 and aroused Yale to such a state that the cadets were routed in the final period. The Ellis expect all the injured regulars, including Noble, a slash ing halfback; Ryan, tackle; Fishwick, stellar end, and Rich ards, a guard, back in the lineup on Saturday.
 After week of rest, Cornell takes up the quest for eastern honors against Columbia, a state rival of long standing. Columbia expects to juggle the lineup a bit and Dummy scrimmages are testing the regulars in new positions. Ford ham began practice for the unde- feated New York university eleven with two star backs missing as the result of injuries received in the loss to Washington and Jefferson, Saturday.
 Syracuse is resting a battered squad that takes on Johns Hop kins in the next encounter while Colgate primes an air assault that scared the Navy for use against state.
 Both Harvard and Princeton, the latter tame Tiger these days and the former dark horse in the Big Three championship race and growing In power weekly as the Crimson absorbs the western tac- tics of Arnold Horween, are train Ing for their battle on November s with light sparring partners this week. Harvard has smashing line. tired but happy after the Dartmouth overthrow resting en- tirely or drilling but lightly for Tufts on Saturday.
 Princeton took day off, cheered | by the news that fully a half dozen Injured regulars will be back in | harness against Swarthmore to give the woboling Bengal new life.
 Brown, one Of the outstanding candidates for eastern honors, has had the Dartmouth formations out lined to them as clearly as the Yale plays were set before them. Coach McLaughry believes that scoutinS, plus the ability the Bear displayed against Yale, will bring Dartmouth to it's third straight de- eat. Only Dick Black, Dartmouth's sophomore fullback, escaped unin- ured from the Yale game.
 West Virginia and Holy Cross. 'acing intersectional foes in Mis- 'ouri and Dayton university re- 'pectively, are getting down to work early for the tits.
