n YEw YORK, October 2S.-Tradi-
ton, in degree large or small,
vi may well have something to
i say about the outcome of the
Yale-Dartmouth game at New
Haven on Saturday. The Green does
not mind Harvard at all, never has.
But Yale is another breed Of cats and
the Hanover team has never been
greatly at ease against the Ellis. This
will count little or more than lit
tie, as the case may be, in Saturdays s
test. H
Coming down to the prospects Of
actual play, Yale appears to be build
ing one of her standard lines and If
this proves to be the case the Han
overian offense, deceptive as it may
be, is going to have a hard time de-
veloping into scores.
The Green probably will score, but
Yale has an attack, too, and If, as
the writer believes, the Yale line DOM
mates the Dartmouth line, the Ellis
have a good chance to score more
often than their rival.
Has Great Combination.
Michigan, too, has a good chance to
turn line superiority to good purpose
against Illinois. Besides, she has in
Oosterbaan and Gilbert deadly for
ward passing combination which is
deeply versed in the ways Of deceitful-
ness. An eleven with two stars of
magnitude so great ought to be able
to swing the tide of victory.
It is high time that Ohio State be-
gan to realize upon its potentialties.
But Chicago this year is one of those
elevens upon which the star of destiny
seems to be shining. With person
mel Of lesser class than the Buckeye
outfit, the Maroons are welded in
team spirit which is likely to prevail
over a rival whose coach is being buff
feted by bullmouthed criticism, and
whose players evidently have been
torn by internal dissension. Ohio has
It in her to rise supreme above her
troubles. Whether she will or not is
another question.
Nebraska is likely to come into her
own any day now. No team has better
material or greater potentalities. So
it would not surprise the writer If the
Cornhuskers snapped into form and
downed a dangerous Salt Lake City
combination.
Test for California.
California is going to have the test
of her life against Southern California.
Howard Jones has been bringing the
Trojans along through harder oppOsi-
ton than the Bears have met and the
team has done creditably. California
is looked upon as another of those
Berkeley wonder teams, but the
writer has an idea that the Los
Angeles eleven is going to win. Two
great rival tackles will be on the field,
Hibbs and Coltrin.
Cornell looks as though she had a
good chance to defeat Columbia and in
the intersectional game at Cambridge.
Indiana would appear to have the edge
over Harvard.
Wisconsin, which Is a team greatly
improved over recent years, is likely
to give Minnesota rough and ready
battle, but in view of the intrinsic
strength of the Gophers the chance Of
victory seems to incline in their direc.
ton.
Army Has Hard Game.
West Point will see the Army in &C.
ton against Bucknell. This Bucknell
outfit is mighty powerful offensive
and defensive combination, but in the
light of experience gained against
Yale, as we'll as in tempered veterans
in almost every position, it would seem
as though the Cadets win have the
equipment necessary to win this game.
New York University should defeat
Colgate. Georgia Tech has been going
strong In the South and - one Of ths
