east this week The end of the
first month and a half of gridiron
warfare finds only nine teams in
this sector able to boast slate
spotless of defeat.
And of that nine only Carnegie
Tech and 81 ton College have es-
capped ties. Carnegie clashes at
South Bend tomorrow with the
shock troops of Notre Dame and
may be defeated. But Boston Col

its winning streak at the expense Of
Canisius, one of the seven elevens
tied but not beaten.
As a matter of fact. the Eagles
of Boston College seem to have an
extremely good chance to finish the
season with a perfect record. After
the battle with Cansius. the Eagles
meet the Connecticut Aggies. who
have won three and tied three of
the six games they've Prayed. on

dispose of Notre Dame. still has

Among the other indicated
teams, Nillanova tied once, clashes
with Grove City, tied twice; City
college of New York, which has two
draw decisions on its books. meets
Manhattan; Lowell Textile, held to
one scoreless draw. engages Worccs-
ter Poly. and the Connecticut Ag-

Navy. Will be favored over Columbia
which has lost to Dartmouth, tied
Cornell and won from John Hopkins
by a single point. Cornell seems to
have a slight edge on the much
mauled Indians OF Dartmouth and
Harvard is favored over Holy Cross.
The experts are inclined to hedge a
bit on the rest of the big games
although Williams and West Virgin
ia are being given slight edge over
Amherst and Georgetown.

middle west to end all even in four
intersectional contests. They are few

chance to hold Nebraska's rush at
Lincoln, and Fordham is the second
choice in its Polo Grounds fray with
Detroit.
