BY ARNOLD HORWEEN
Coach, Harvard University

The outstanding feature of tn,
1928 schedules Of eastern football
teams is the exceptional number o.
intersectional games.
Almost every one Of the hundred
or more teams seems to have goo.
prospects to start and, as q result
season replete with close contests
is sure to eventuate. The intersec
tional aspect is most welcome be.
cause this is one Of the features Of
the game which make it thoroughly
worthwhile. It is the type of sport
that can be Of actual national bene.
fit because it brings young men into
contact from different sections un.
der conditions which bring out the
best in them.
Harvard, like Yale and Princeton
labors under the handicap Of being
unable to start practice until Sep.
TENDER Is. Other teams get away
earlier. The Crimson, however,
should have q better season than
any in the last five years. Fewer
men were lost by probation and
help from a strong freshman team
will be given. Yale starts with a
new coach but with an established
system which Coach Stevens knows
thoroughly. He has ample material
for another great year. Princeton's
primary problem devolves about the
center, for all other departments
seem to have a quantity of tried and
proven material. There is no doubt
OF Bill Roper getting as much out
OF Princeton's assets as possible.
The Army has one of the longest
schedules of any eastern team, in
GLIDING some outstanding intersec-
tional contests with Southern
Methodist, Notre Dame and STAN
ford. Navy, which no longer plays
a crucial game with the Army,
ought to have about its best team
in 10 years. Coach Ingram has am
pie material.
Hawley Prospects Good
It is quite likely that Dartmouth
will maintain as good a record as it
did a year ago, with prospects for
an exceptionally good line. The
principal uncertainty is whether
Captain Black will be in physical
shape to play the great game he is
capable Of as a fullback.
OF the Catholic universities in the
east, much attention will be given
Boston College with its new coach,
ice Mckenny, the youngest man to
assume responsibility of such
magnitude in years. Holy Cross is
again under Cleo O'Donnell and
seems not to lack any Of the
strength which made it SO formid-
able a year ago. Fordham will have
the advantage Of second year un-
der Frank Cavanaugh and results
should be forthcoming. Georgetown
is sure to be strong with Lou Little
at the helm and an abundance of
material at his disposal. Catholic
University will continue under Jack
McAuliffe's tutelage. It seems dif-
ficult to predict which of these Sec
tartan institutions will have the
outstanding record this year.
Brown is very likely to react from
its disastrous season of q year ago
when McLaughry's iron men"
failed to repeat their 1926 record.
Any inclination to travel on past
performances is certainly eliminat-
ed now from the squad.
pennsylvania and Penn State
should determine the records for
the two teams when they meet on
October 20. Penn has suffered a
few losses by graduation, but is not
severely handicapped. The vital
factors in the team of last year are
still present and not the least is
Scull and his kicking ability. Penn
State, under Bezdek, is sure to be
