YALE AND PENNSY STANDING
 OUT AS SEASONS BEST BETS
Blue Comes Through After Vanquishing Dartmouth, With Strengthened Team Harvard Gaining Strengh-Princeton Also Will Have Strengthened Lineup - Carr of Syracuse is Leading Scorer in East-Wcst Point Looks Pretty Good

New York. oct. l7 CPy-Yale and Pennsylvania stand out today as leading contenders for the football championship Of the East Dart mouth, titeholder in 1925, tasted defeat for the first time in almost three years in the Yale Bowl Satur- day and the great hidden ball at tack of the Pennsylvanians smafhed Chicago, invaders from the Western conference, 2 to 0.
 Penn has no game scheduled with Yale or Dartmouth, but Williams Illinois, Penn State, Columbia and Cornell will test the title aspirations of the keystone eleven. Yale, with 2 Brown meeting in the offing. has Army, Maryland, Princeton and Harvard left to try her champion ship qualities.
 Yale rose to majestic heights in whipping Dartmouth, l4 10 [, by the very means that had lifted the Indians of the north to acknoWl- edged supremacy of the pigskin world. Crashing line play and be- wildering forward passes that edged out the victory in the final stages were both former weapons ot the Green. Pennsylvania showed an eleven that outClaSsed the Western- CTS in every department equipped with a deceptive attack that had Chicago tackling all backs but the man carrying the ball.
 The Ellis have Q smooth-runnlng Brown eleven just ahead, but with crippled regulars expected back il the lineup this week and only slight injuries sustained in the Dart mouth struggle, the Blue looks for little trouble. Pennsylvania has further opportunity to develop against Williams with little fear of an upset resulting.
 Harvard stronger
 Dartmouth continues it's war with the Big Three against a Harvard team that is showing distinct signs of form and power after two defeats in a ragged start The Crimson in downing William and Mary 27 to z, displayed q line that could open holes, a running attack that was smooth and finished, and an effec- tive air attack. Cripples of the squad, Captain Coady at tackle, Daley, guard, and Miller and French, regular backs, are ready to resume work.
 Tigers Also Better
 Injured regulars returning to the Princeton squad will bolster the Tigers for the Lehigh engagement after the Navy defeat, 27 10 13. Captain John Davis will be back at guard to strengthen line splin- tered and torn by the Middle at tack. The Navy must continue in high gear to dispose of Colgate, nosed out Saturday by Pittsburgh in one of the days upsets, 19 to Is.
 The leading scorer Of the East, "Whippet" Carr. Of Syracuse, with 59 points to his credit. will race into action against the highest scoring team when the Orange meets Penn State this week, The Nittany Lions have gathered 165 points in games so far thanks largely 10 S2 scored against Sus- quehanna in the opening game.
 Cadets Look Good
 The Army, after bruising 27 to 71 win over Syracuse, can rest q regular eleven and at the same time develop substitutes, just now the Cadets weakness. in the coming Boston University tilt. Cornell. with an open date on Saturday. can rest after the 24 to IA victory over Michigan State and prime the at tack for the Columbia game the following week.
 Columbia, battered 32 to ' by Ohio State, has Duke University of North Carolina as the second in tersectional opponent in two weeks. Duke has shown littlee ein early sea son games but reports from the South indicate the Carolinians are preparing surprises. Pittsburgh meets Carnegie Tech, and West Virginia, conquerors of Georgetown by small margin, 13 10 h, opposes a bitter rival in west Virginia Wes- leyan.
 New York University jumping to the forefront with a smashing 21 to 0 win over Tulane, pits a sterling eleven against Rutgers, beaten Saturday by Holy Cross 21 to 0.
