ARMY AND NO7RE DAME NV
 BATTLE FOR GRID TITLE
Rocknes Eleven Comes East Saturday Seeking Re- venge-Yae and Princeton Indulge in Long Signal Drills-Bi Kline Called Home By Death of His Mother-Brown and Harvard Prepare For Game Teams Driven Indoors By Heavy Rainfall.

New York. Nov. 10 uD - The trouble-laden road to the national football supremacy stretches ahead Of one of two mighty elevens, Army ana Notre Dame, as a reward of victory in their annual clash of east and midwest in the Yankee stadium Saturday.
 Almost the same Knute Rockne machine the Army humbled last year 27 to o, a new green team then. IS coming back east hungry for re- venge and prime1 for victory by de. cisiye conquest of all sectional CD. ponents. Georgia Tech, a representa- tive southern ele. .en. and Penn youths, grown bigger, stronger and more experienced have flashed sweeping offense and rock-ribbed de. fense that need only surpass the best in the far-west to be conceded the country's finest if Army is toppled in defeat.
 The cadets. similarly. have mop. ped up eastern opponents with prac- tically the same team that whipped Notre Dame last fall. Victory over the silk-clad gridders of South Bend along with triumph over the Navy, conquerors of Michigan, when the service elevens meet in Chicago Nov. 27. will place the soldiers squarely on the national football pedestal.
 The rain that has flooded the east drove few eleyens indoors. The remainder held practice with wet balls on treacherous gridirons to give players a taste of conditions that may prevail for the big games on the weekend. Coaches were cau- tious in use of stars to prevent in- jury or re-openins of old hurts on the eve of many major contests.
 While Army perfected forward pass defense in the driving rain in the ligh+ of huge flares along the sidelines, Yale and Princeton took their soakings in long signal drills, the first serious workouts of tho week for the classic Big Three meet. ing on Saturday. Princeton, with Harvard already a victim, needs on- ly win over the Ellis to clinch the triumvirate title for the second straight year. Yale suffered severe blow when Bill Kline, star fullback and veteran of three years play. was called home by the death of his mother.
 Excessive moisture cut short tho Brown practice for Harvard, but the Crimson gridders, planning a deter mined effort to halt the Bears surge to eastern heights. hammered away at an overhead attack and defense. Navy, behind locked gates, also fea- tured the air game. The Georgetown struggle has taken on a new threat in Middle eyes since the Hilltoppers defeated Syracuse and showed a powerful offense that will menace the Na,y's undoteated record on Sat- urday.
 Columbia, refusing to take chances in the rain, went over Pennsylvania formations In blackboard drills but the Penn outfit took their wetting and tossed a flock of passes. Gil Dobie showed Cornell how Dart mouths passes were thrown, while the big Green team was content with a short signal session. There was no let-up for Syracuse despite the weather and long scrimmage drove the team toward peak condi- tion for the annual Colgate combat.
 Two friendly foes of long stand- ing, Pittsburgh and Washington and Jefferson, made no effort at serious work, but New York university's un- defeated Violets played with a soggy ball and learned to hold it under try ing conditions that might prevail against Davis Elkins. .
