New York, Oct. 19.-E-Travel- ing fast in mid-season stride, the more or less irresistible forces of football collide this Saturday at widely separated points.
 With an impact that will be heard from coast to coast the rambling wrecks" of Georgia Tech clash with Notre Dame's horsemen at Atlanta while miles to the north Harvard and the Army join battle for the first time since 1910.
 Far to the west, out past the country's mid-section where the landscape is dotted with Big Ten battles, California and Southern California lock horns in a game that may 50 far toward deciding superb ority on the coast.
 In the Big East vs. West attrac- tion of the day, one of Nebraska's s giant teams entertains an ambi- tious young Syracuse outfit in the new memorial stadium at Lincoln where 6 year ago the home team buffeted it's way to 21 to win.
 A great many of the games that promise to make October 20 mem- orable are clean-cut "naturals" and among these may be listed the Georgia Tech h-Notre-Dame. Harvard Army and California Southern Cal ifornia games. The Syracuse-Ne- braska fray on the surface appears a bit easier to pick, Nebraska stnding out as an indubitable fav- orite partly on the strength of its shutout victory of year ago.
 With most of the 1927 players still on deck and the team bolstered by such endorsements as 205-pound sophomore quarterback. Captain Blue Howell and his mates hope to hurl Syracuse back as decisively as they did last season. Syracuse is one of the few teams that has won more games from the Cornhuskers than it has lost and Nebraska will not be happy until it has evened the ac- count. The Orange, on the other hand, is considerably stronger in the line this year and has shown run- ming attack with which to back up the great forward passing of Captain Hal Baysinger.
 The chances of the Army appear stronger than those of Harvard, largely because the Crimson has only two games, both of them against fairly easy opponents, under its belt at this stage, while the Cadets have had three games, includ- ing a real testing at the hands of Southern Methodist. Yet Harvard, featuring Captain French. Harper, Gilligan and Quarnaccia in the back field, was the material for one of the best Crimson teams since the war and will cause trouble if the line can battle the Army forwards on anywhere nearly even terms.
 Georgia Tech, having stopped V. M. I. and Tulane without having a point scored against it. has at least an even chance with Notre Dame. The handicap of making the long trip may be too much for Rockne's men to overcome this year. They have been beaten already, fumbing sadly against Wisconsin, and they showed little in nosing out the Navy by touchdown at Chicago. In Stumpy Thomson, Tech has a back as formidable as Notre Dame's back field cracks-John Niemic and John Chevigny. The Southerners have a 26 to ' beating, suffered last year, to remember.
 Southern California beat the Gold en Bears. 13 to 0. in 1927. but it may be different this time. Neither team has lost game and both are strong. How closely they are matched may be indicated by their performances against the one team both have met thus far-st. Mary's. The Southern Californians downed this doughty iittA adversary. 19 to 6. and Cali fornia blanked the same eleven, : 10 c.
 In the western conference. Illi nois 1927 winner. tackles Indiana which spilled Michigan last satur day. while q rampagine Ohio State team engage Michigan outfit which has yet to win game. The Ohioans who appear headed for a big sea- son have an excellent chance 10 wine out 21 to 0 reverse of year ago. There are dozens of other great games on the days bill
