COLLEGE ELEVENS
 VERY UNCERTAIN
Anything Is Liable to Happen in
 IOmOTTOW'S Game


 in preparation for important strug-
 gles tomorrow and coaching stafs
 bowed their heads over deep stratc-
 gic problems.
 The Dartmouth squad pulled out
 of Hanover last night with the cheers Of every student echoing
 back and forth among the green
 hills that circle the college. The team, after a workout in the Yale Bowl today, will rest until the
 whistle calls the Green warriors 10
 grips with the Eli Bulldogs Satur- day.
 The final practice ofSDartmouth
 at home was a discouraging affair. Work of the regulars was ragged, even careless, and the return of
 Death" Dooley to the drivers seat
 in the backfeld still left something
 lacking. Try as they would, the
 team could not iron out interference
 muddles and attain cooperation be- tween forwards and ball carriers.
 Jess Hawley had a dour look as he lciihNu Ol lllt NIldili'S Dl lllS IlltlI z B.
 And now Dartmouth does want vic
 tory Saturday-the first over Yale
 in eight starts,
 Gloom shrouds the Eli campus.
 Guy Richards, sterling tackle, is
 added to the casualty list that has
 robbed Yale of every veteran lines
 man with the exception of Carl
 Sturhahn, guard. Richards hurt his | knee Wednesday. Bruce Caldwell,
 outstanding among the ball carriers, spraincd, an ankle at the same time 1 anda will be out until the Army game October 30. As q result the line and backfeld have been iuggled until even the coaches hardly rec l dgnize them.
 The third day of secret practice at Princeton brought a surprise to 1 the team when only dummy scrim- mage was held to perfect defense against the Navy passes the Tigers expect to see Saturday. Roper has been taking no chances on hurting regulars with heavy scrimmage. [ The backs have been changed so frequently, with no one set working two days in succession.
 That the starting lineup is quite up in the air. Shapeley, big middle fullback, and Hardwick, right end, are definitely out of the Princeton struggle because, of stubborn in jurics. The rest of the Navy squad is in fine shape.
 Penn State set sail for South Bend, Ind, and NOtre Dame yesterday Iamid rousing sendof. The Lions age taking a crippled backneld west against one of the strongest elevens in the country.

All the dynamite in the Columbia at tack held under cover previously in preparation for the coming of Ohio | State, was tested against the seconds /, and found 10 possess Al explosive | qualities. Dread of Marty Karowan, | Marek and Eby was forgotten for 1 the moment as the Blue and White | unleashed it's full power. The i Buckeyes are in town today. Footballs filled the air in north eri New York as the upstate trio. 1 Cornell, Colgate and Syracuse, made | their final serious preparations for [ wcighty conflict. The IthacanS . worked almost an hour to work the kinks out of the running attack be 1 fore taking to forward passes de- signed especially for the benefit of Michigan State tomorrow. Syracuse | worked until darkness prevented | following the ball to put the final 1 touches on an attack that is smooth | enough to cause the Army much | trouble while the Cadets, up on the Hudson, merely rana through q | dummy scrimmage and signal drill | 10 keep muscles loosencd. A hard | workout in the mud and rain Wed ] nesday proved the team sound and | it for the engagement. Colgate, tiny in man power in comparison with her neighbors but boosting one of the finest elcvons in Maroon history, has primed q strong running attack 10 mate with q clever overhead game in preparation for the vital affair with Pittsburgh.
 The joy Of New York University slndonts at the return of Frank !. Briante, Violet captain and fullback, i showed in a monster rally that burst | all over Washington Heights last | night.
