%; n 7 EW' YORK. November 23.-Most
pre- y of the foot ball teams Of the
e-sT VI country playing tomorrow will
close their doors for the season.
80 With only a few exceptions
b.ihelevens scheduled for Thanksgiving are
rnttaEing the day of and only small
s1cigroup of rugged contestants Will carry
Atffheir war into December.
3ss6 tThe Saturday card makes up in quail
solAty any lack of quantity. Seven games
Stand out IN the array.
pnk Yale and Harvard will prove mag
sssVhet sufficient to attract $4,000 specta3,1,
81 tors to the Yale Bowl for the test Will
.baeba the forty-seventh meeting over a
Seo'stretch of more than so years. The
esaQ yale team of 1927 was two touchdoWns
better than the defending Harvard ag-
Ss:1gregation, but there seems to be ques-
ssfDtion if the Ellis can show Such superiority
&c at home year later.
A,1A Another stirring game Of ancient foes
will be at Berkeley, Calf. and the result
e:.5 will have definite effect on the racine
40 Coast Conference title. California must
- defeat Stanford or see the conference
title go to the University of Southern
California.
.s- In the conference California and
:. Southern California each have regis
%r tered three victories without defeat, III
=. addition to the scoreless tie they them
2 selves battled to five weeks ago. Stan
q ford has lost only one conference game
sasbowing 10 to to Southern CalIorhla
on November 3.
A victory for Stanford will amount to
practical croWning of Southern Calltor-
MIA as champions, for the latter team
.s,meets a minor foe, Idaho, in its last
aconference test
aah Big Battle at Point.
saeo- The big intersectional show of the day
zl will be put on at West Point, With the
s9a powerful Nebraska outfit, tied but not
defeated. meeting an Army team that
- has Cnly one blot on its impressive rec
ord. Pittsburgh stopped the Cornnusk-
ers' march with scoreless deadlock,
while Notre Dame turned the Cadets
flank at New York.
Speculation as to the outcome OF the
West vs. East argument is hampered
bv lack of knowledge of the humor the
ARMY will be in tomorrow. The team
defeating Yale and Harvard on success
i've SATURDAYS should be able to repuiSe
the Western invasion, but the team
losing to Notre Dame could not reason
ably expect kinder treatment at the
hands of the NebraSkanS. The Army,
too. must look ahead week to game
with an even more Western challenger,
Stanford.
An intersectional attraction in the
Middle West makes it fair swap,
Dartmouth going to Evanston to play
Northwestern, apparently with little 10
choose between the teams. The third
test of sections is furnished by North
Carolina State and Michigan State at
Lansing.
Scrap Due at Philly.
The Princeton Navy game at Phila-
delphia marks radical departure Tor
each team. Princeton is going right
on with its season as II Yale. had not
been met and Navy is at its climax
with a Tiger instead of an Army mule
for an opponent. Princeton coacnes are
reported experiencing difficulty in con-
yincing the men of Nassau that the
yale game was not the last one. The
Midshipmen have known all season tnat
they had to play Princeton and PROB
ably will be on edge. at Franklin FleIu.
It will be no romp for the Tlger.
Pittsburgh will have corner on toot
haIl interest in that section of the
country on account of battle TO tie
death between Carnegie Tech, with
no liability charged to it, and New YORK
University, all credits except a lone
debit. Carnegie has a chance 10 JOIN
in any argument over 1901 pan su
premacy by defeating the Violet wnlle
Ny. U. may be able to throw out It's
defeat by Georgetown II IL can WIZ
from the TartanS.
The Middle West will watch the un-
defeated but tied Wisconsin team ry
to WIN conference tltic pJ ASASosS-AAo .
Minnesota.
Other games in the East bring rivals
of standing together, Lafayette and
Iehigh, Bucknell and Dickinson, George
town and Fordham, RUTGERS ano
Swarthmore among others. Davis ano
Elkins and Villanova should engage
in brisk struggle, as these two teams
seem to have reached the peak Of
their form earlier in the season.
Big Ten Clashes.
In addition to the crucial game at
Madison. Wis, Ohio State and Illinois
~~ may fight it out all afternoon at
Champaign, Indiana and Purdue are
certain to have lot of fun and Iowa
and Michigan will be well worth while
Kansas and Missouri will furnish a
holiday at Columbia and saltwater VIII
watch the Oklahoma Aggies and OKLA
flof1aa mix.
The South takes its foot ball with
the Thanksgiving turkey, but few
games will be played tomorrow. Wash
inoton and Lee will play Maryland at
Washington Vanderbilt should stop
Centre and Tulane will not expect
serious menace in the visit OF Louisiana
College to New orleans.
