on it's home field, more than anxio
prestige lost to Michigan a week as
Michigan brings East a powerful
eleven, one that should play brilliant
foot ball. and the Navy puts on the
field a team far stronger than the one
that wore It's colors year ago. Mlchi-
gan is expected TO win, with the Navy
hopeful of making a very satisfactory
showing.
People in this immediate vicinity
are more interested in this contest
than in any other in long time, and
ono of the greatest crowds that have
watched foot ball games in years
around here will be present. Perhaps
the only crowd that has ever exceed
Cd the one expected tomorrow was
that at the Army-Navy game in Bal
timore two years ago.
Michigan Here Today.
Michigan's squad was to stop off in
Washington today for a brief visit.
After that 1t was due to go to An
napolis to spend the afternoon and
night and go over to Baltimore tomor-
row morning.
A game that will draw a larger
crowd, though, and which, as a game,
should be every whit as good as any,
is that at New Haven, in which Army
tackles Yale. For three or four years
the YaleArmy game has been bril-
liant affair, and pre- game accounts
indicate that tomorrow it will tran
scend former years. The Army goes
to Yale with a great team, and Yale
will meet it with great team, de-
spite the fact it lost last week to
Brown.
Minnesota. and Wisconsin play their
vi oh
teams stand among the best. so that
not only will there be all that ordi
narily goes with a foot ball game be
tween great rivals. but in addition will
there be a struggle between two fine
plevens. Minnesota has a powerful
team and so has Wisconsin. Probably
there is nothing that each had rather
do in a foot ball way than beat the
other.
out on the Pacific Coast the cham
nonship of that section may hinge on
tho result of the contest between
Southern California and Leland stan
ford. University of California is OUT
of the running, having been decisiveiy
whipped several times. Southern Can
fornia was one Of those to beat Cali
fornia. The Stanford-California con
test, the Yale-Harvard struggle of the
49,
Saturday before Thanksgiving day.
Southern games are listed between
several old rivals, the main one OF
which is that at Chapel Hill between
North Carolina University and North
Carolina state College. These instltu'
1ions are about as compatible in
foot ball sense as a rattlesnake and a
porcupine. They just don't set well
together. They argue a lot ABOUT
everything and several times In the
last two years have threatened not to
plav each other at all. And when
they get on the field the game Is one
in which is shown the greatest rivalry.
AS long and bitter as has been the
rivalry between Carolina and Virginia,
II is more than likely that Carolina
had much rather lose to Virginia than
to lose to North Carolina State. This
wear the State College seems very
weak, while the university Is not SO
strong as usual but at that the game
will be we'll worth watching.
Georgia Tech goes to South Bend
to play Notre Dame. The Atlanta
eleven came near beating Notre Dame
a wear ago, but now does not seem to
he as strong as it was then, while
Notre Dame is much stronger.
While Georgia Tech is battling
Notre Dame, University of Georgia,
its great rival. IS due TO meet Florida
at Athens Georgia seems to have
the stronger team.
Alabama. generally hailed as the
strongest eleven in the South. meets
Louisiana State. Sewanee proved last
lo' q
in check and that should serve as a
stimulus for Donohue's aggre cation
to strive extraordinarily hard to stop
the team that has had clean sweep
since the beginning of last year.
Ohio state goes to Chicago to meet
Stages eleven The men coached by
lack Wilce feel sure they have a mar
gin on the Windy City eleven and eN-
peCt to win.
That game up i'm New England to
morrow between Dartmouth and
Brown will he worth while. In fact
IT may he as good As any other. Both
went through hard struggles week
ego and neither will have much ad'
vantage on that score. 1t seems very
much AS if Brown has somewhat bet
ter than an even chance to get back
at Dartmouth for some defeats or the
mast. However victory for Dart
mouth would not be a great surprise.
LAFAYETTE and Washington and JEFF.
ferSnn also will put up a game worth
seeing. Few foot ball teams are
stronger than these.
