VT WAAS AA1 neppenOU 1u Inc 1le Bowl or Harvard stadium during the season. the annual Yaie-Harvard clash is an outstanding gridiron event of the Saturday on which it is played. Tradition. extending back to 1875. has made 1t that and the anne tradition will bring . capacity crowd to the Bowl this Saturday for the game despite the reverses each team has suffered thts season.
 The sons of Eli have taken the short end of the scors thres times, from Army, Maryland and Prince ton. while John Harvard has bowed to Army and Pennsylvania and played drab scoreless tie with Holy Cross last Saturday. However, it is in the books that 1t will be . close hard fought game. as 1t always has been, and the big game of the week.
 Princeton, defying tradition to play Navy a week after the Yale game, may provide something to de- tract some interest from the Yale. Harvard struggle. Tho Tigers and Midshipmen have put on good many hot midseason clashes and there is no indication that the change in date will affect the game appreciably. Princeton still is unde- feated. although tied twice. but Bill Roper has found numerous reasons to complain of the difficulties of taking on team as strong as Navy . week after the traditional seasons end battle.
 So far as eastern or national championship honors are concerned, the game between undefeated Car negie Tech and New York Univer- sity at Pittsburgh heads the list With lines of almost equal strength the outcome of the battle seems to have narrowed down to the ques- tions of whether Carnegie can main- tain the high competitive pitch that enabled it to score 70 deciaively over Notre Dame and whether N. Y. U. can shake Ken Strong free of the tartan defense for few of his bril- liant open field runs.
 Dartmouth already has started west for its big intersectional shot gainst Northwestern in Evanston, the home town of its coach, Jess Hawley. andNta captain, Dick Black. Hawley. who again is not certain he can get away from business to handle his coaching duties next year, hopes to make sure of good end for his career if 1t does end, by winning the last game of | poor season. Army will entertain Nebraska in the one intersectional game on an eastern held and has several qualms about the result despite the score- less tie the Cornhuskers played with Pitt last week. Army's scrubs, us- ing Nebraska plays. have been mak- ing too much headway against the regulars in practice to suit the cadets.
 Another game that is backed by a long tradition is the Lafayette-Le- high encounter at Easton. seems des- tined to nzxle out as 1t has in the past few years. Lehtgh never got started this season and seems no match for the strong Lafayette team. Boston College. one of the two un- defeated and united teams in the east. intends to take Connecticut Aggies in its stride while preparing 10 meet Holy Cross week later. The Aggies are tho only eastern team that has not been scored on, but three games have resulted in score- less ties.
 Villanova, another undefeated az gregatjon, takes on Davis- Elkins, q dangerous opponent. The little West Virginia team has decisions over Navy and West Virginia and likes nothing better than to knock one of the big teams of it's pedestal. Two other leaders. Georgetown and Bucknell. have comparatively , easy opponents. Georgetown plays Fordhanl, which has an unimpresstve record. ~Bucknell meets Dickinson, it's traditional rival since the days before it broke into big time football and may have something of . struggle. Dickinson still counts a victory over the Btsens as the im- portant thing to 70 after in any foot 1 ball season.
