n YEW YORK, November 16-Com-
ing into the home stretch oi
the foot ball season, many
4 teams tomorrow will be fight
ing for their competitive lives
Army and Navy are the exceptions fol
the two service teams have scheduled
opponents good enough to be interesting
but not believed dangerous to the peace
of mind.
Army will tune UP for Nebraska by
playing Carleton of Minnesota, while
Navy takes on Loyola of Baltimore in
preparation for Princeton week away.
Most of the other contestants go
about the games for this week in a
serious mood. For some of them the
success of the season is hanging in the
balance.
In the leading traditional game, just
SIS years old, Princeton will forget all
about its 0-to-0 tie with Virginia and
a 6-to-6 deadlock with Ohio State if
the Tigers can turn back Yale. The Ellis
by the same figuring will throw the
Army and Maryland defeats out of the
book if they can take the Tiger skin
back to New Haven.
Tigers Conceded an Edge.
Princeton and Yale both have ups
and downs and it seems hard to name a
pre-game favirite. Princeton, prob
ably to Coach Bill Roper's disgust. is
being given slight edge.
Notre Danes defeat of Army has
brought the game with Carnegie at
South Bend to the front rank for the
Tartans from Pittsburgh have not been
stopped. The followers of Rockne and
his fighting comeback team have to
60 hack % years to find a record of a
Notre Dame defeat in their Hoosier hab-
ttat. and many believe it cannot be done.
The Pittsburgh eleven has not de-
feated Notre Dame at South Bend but
it turned the trick on its own grounds
Capt. HarpSter now a full -hedged star
played big part in the 1926 defeat of
the Rockneless Notre Dame team and
is the ace of the invaders. Coach
Rockne was looking at another foot ball
game when his team lost its last clash
with Carnegie
There is a distinct intersectioflal
flavor to the card. In addition to the
Carnegie-Notre Dame affair, Pitt goes
out to Lincoln to try to demonstrate
it still is good touchdown better than
Nebraska. Every indication points to
this being man-Sized job.
FOrdham Host to Detroit.
Detroit, undefeated against fairly
sturdy opposition, plays Fordham at
the Polo Grounds of New York while
Missouri is taking on New York Uni
versity at the neighboring Yankee
Stadium. If Fordham should prove
the first to dent the armor of the Titans
every one connected with the Maroon
institution would be willing to call it
a season. Missouri's Tigers are con-
ceded no more than an outside chance
against the powerful New York Uni
versity crowd
The game between undefeated Iowa
and Wisconsin teams will have a lot
to do with determining the title holder
of the Western Conference.
The Southern Conference leaders,
Georgia Tech, Tennessee and Florida,
have opponents who cannot be re-
garded lightly. Dixie observers, how
ever, expect the Tech Yellow Jackets
to win from Alabama by about the
same margin as last year, two touch
downs, while Florida is given an edge
over Clemson by critics outside of South
Carolina, where Clemson is touted to
stop the march of the Alligators.
The clash of two Tennessee elevens.
the University of Tennessee and YAM
derbilt, should furnish enough foot ball
