| This is because the human element
| in foot ball cannot rigidly be ap-
praised with reference to any special
| test. 1t is so with any sport which
| involves rugged bodily contact, poise,
| physical condition, morals and adap-
tiveness to emergencies.
None the less the picking of win
ners is very popular phase of sport
and the question which the writer of
foot ball most frequently encounters
relates to victors and losers in i'm
portant contests. This being 50, the
writer herewith sets down his views
as to the outcome of Saturdays games
with the full consciousness that rela-
tive form as he sees it will not in some
cases work out according to dope.
Michigan.OhiO State-The Buckeyes
seem to have the edge. They have
more backtield talent than the VOL
verines and in several important po.
sitions in the line are stronger. Gill
bert, Michigan's best back, took quite
a beating last week against Wis
consin.
Stanford-OrcgOn Aggies-It looks as
though Stanford will win, inasmuch as
this team has been coming on by
steady degrees, and Glenn Warner has
had opportunity to study the Corvallis
eleven. When Warner sits down seri-
ously to study an opponent, he usu
ally wins the game.
Princeton -Cornell-The Tigers have
had line of stronger opponents than
prin Aal
material looks better. The team
should benefit by more rounded in
struction. Nassau should win by a
small margin.
Army -Yale-The Els just now are
on a high way of morale, are in fine
condition, and with Caldwell and Good.

good chance to beat West Point.

no particular stars, but the team is
well together, playing upon the basis

so well organized as the Maroons A
Chicago victory seems to be indicated.
Georgia-Alabama Poly-If the Geor.
gians have taken their victory over
Yale in the proper spirit of humility,
they will down Poly without great
difficulty.
HarvardDartmOuth Harvard is
still in a state of development, and no
one. can say where the team will
eventually arrive. But just now Dart
mouth looks to have a keener and
more effective scoring machine than
the Crimson and ought to win.
Indiana-NOtre Dame-Indiana play.

fident Minnesota team last. She will
meet an eleven better prepared for bat
tie on Saturday and Notre Dame
should win.
Washington and Jefferson-L afayette
and Jefferson at this
time seems better equipped for a hard
game than Lafayette and is likely to
win.
