FINDING PLENTY
TO WORRY ABOUT

New York, Oct. 15.--P)-Two of
the East's most powerful elevens,
Dartmouth and Yale, are finding
much to worry about as their clash
draws near. The Eli scrubs, forget
ting for the moment they were fac
ing one Of the strongest offensives
in the country on the regulars, and
shot the vaunted attack full of
holes. A tumble let the varsity
score just one touchdown in long
afternoon of scrimmaging.
The Hanover Indians can't seem
to get their line working this year
in the, manner that helped the 1925
eleven far on the road to a mythical
championship. The forwards are
not charging in unison and as re-
suit coaches brows are furrowed
deep and Dartmouth linemen are
bruised and sore from long drilling.
On the other hand, smiles are
breaking out on the Harvard campus
where 1t had been feared that Grim
son supporters would never be hap
py over their football favorites
again. The reason: An awakening
regular eleven yesterday ripped five
touchdowns through the scrubs and
held them helpless when the scrubs
in turn went to bat. An offensive
of parts has been badly lacking in
two defeats on successive Saturdays
and the defense has caused sopho-
mores to write gleeful letters home.
William and Mary have a different
sort of an offensive Saturday.
The powerful plunging of Captain
Marty Karow of Ohio State has the
Columbia cohorts rushing around to
devise a proper defense where no
college has yet been entirely sue
cessful. Light scrimmages are in
order at Morningside eHights but
the boards of strategy are working
overtime to prepare for the Buckeye
invasion Saturday.
Up in northern New York, the
powerful triumvirate of Cornell,
Colgate and Syracuse are paying a
lot Of attention to things that go by
| overhead. The line crashing spe-
cialties at Syracuse have been ditch
ed temporarily while the eleven men
| who are to face Army, Saturday,
learn something of stopping forward
passes.
Captain Vic Hansen, whole and
hearty again, will be in there Sat
urday against the cadets. Colgate.
on the other hand is drilling regulars
| in tossing serials that are hoped to
blast the fond expectations Of Pitts
burgh when the clash comes Satur-
day. Gle Dobie also is developing
an air weapon to go along with one
Of the finest all around attacks the
Ithacans ever boosted. Cornell has a
date with Michigan state this week
end, but upstate, Gil Dobie is the
| only person worrying about it.
The entire team that started
against Drake last Saturday. with
ovitch on the ends, will face Prince
ton for the Navy, the MILDLY coaches
have decided. he Tigers are be-
| moaning the loss of Jake Slagle, tri-
pie threat and all-American backfield
candidate, who is out of the game
for few weeks with an injury he
suffered hunting rocks on a geology
expedition Captain Davis will be
back in the line now that injuries
suffered in practice have healed.
Faltering and fumbling and mark
ing the Pennsylvania scrimmage
workouts in preparation for the Chi
cagO INVASION. Inc varsity maze
two touchdowns in so minute
Necrimmage yesterday but were held
up when the ball became elusive in
the shadows of the scrub goal posts.
Penn State, facing another great
Notre Dame eleven in an intersec-
tional struggle Saturday at South
Bend, is hammering away in final
workouts before setting sail for the
West.
New York University is Matching
out a brand new offensive to throw
against Tulane when the terrors of
the South storm the Northern bull
warks. Georgetown and West Vir-
ginia, both with exceptional scoring
offensiyes, are printing their powder
for the big battle. Rutgers thinks
no amount of drilling too much in
preparation for Holy Cross, con-
querors of Harvard last week.
