The NAVY meets Notrc Dame in
game that will be a trial of strength
against deception. Two weeks aGo
Detroit held the Amy to to vic
tory, while last Saturday Notre Dame
had little difficulty in defeating De
troit, 20 to 0. on comparative scores
this makes Notre Dame better than
the Army. There was little to choose
between the two service teams last
Fall.
figured the Army backfie,d stronger
than any combination Ingram could
get tCgether, while the West Point
team is nearly as Ssrong as the Navy.
Taking comparative scores as a basis,
| figure Notre Dame to Win by close
count. Navy certainly knows more
foot ball than Detroit, and compara-
tive scores are not the only criterion.
Navy put up a splendid game against
Drake, surprising every one at the
size of the score. The Navy coaches

Yale Ready for Brown.
Brown, smarting unGC" its uneX-
pected defeat at the hands of Pennsyl-
vania. meets green but determined
Yale team at the Bowl. Brown should
play in top form and show much i'm
prCvement over the play at Philadel-
phia. Yale made a lot of fumbles
against Georgia The mistakes un
doubtedly cost the game. and this Is
said without rejecting on Georgia's |
fine play Yale will be dangerous
competitor Saturday. Caldwell of |
Yale at top form IS one of the out |
standing lacks of the year. The |
game appears like a stand-off, with |
fortune favoring the team with the |
best passing attack.
Before Penn States defeat at the
hands of Bucknell l would have con-
sidered the team to have an even
chance against Pennsylvania. Last /
Saturdays play makes Penn the IA
vorite. The Brown game meant lot
to the Quakers. With that on the
right side of the ledger. / expect to
see Penn play even better this Satur-
day. Martin Brill. who showed lack
OF practice because of his lay-off in
the Brown game, should strike his
stride against State. Scull and Brill
are two fine running backs, and l
doubt if State can catch them.
Georgetown, with a powerful line
and versatile backfeld. meets SYRIA |
euse, which, minus her stars of last II
season, does not look quite as strong 4
as "a year ago. Georgetown has a fine /
team. Georgetown won, 13 to Z. last
Fall, and should repeat
was greatly astonished at Col '
gates defeat by Y. p. L.. and doubt if [
the team can ho.d Columbia. Crowley j
has a good eleven this year. Colgate
is no mean antagonist, however. The
hoys may have had an off day last
Saturday. or possibly were overconfi-
dent. Columbia will have to do it's
best to win.
Washington and Lee. victors over I.
Duke. which defeated Boston College
and tied with West Virginia, will be
no mean antagonist for Princeton.
Last year the Generals tied us, to Z,
while we barely nosed out the game
in 1925. Our team is a trifie more
advanced than it was at this time last
Fall With more evenly balanced
backfield, i shall be greatly disap-
pointed if we do not win, but expect
a close game.
Temple, with a record of more than
$50 points scored in the first two
games, meets Dartmouth at Hanover.
The Phiiadelphians are in shape to
give Dartmouth a hard game. They .
