New York. Nov. 13.-(AP)-Old
Man Tradition stalks into the grid
iron picture November II to take
command Of a flock of college rival
ries that have the mellow touch of
years and the classic scars of an
cient combat.
Princeton and Yale renew at
Palmer Stadium the struggle they
began in 1873. The Tiger and the
Bulldog have had many a merry bat :
tie and this years should be no ex-
ception with each gathering head
way after slow starts. It has been
nip and tuck since the war with
Princeton winning five and Yale
four engagements, including that of
1927 after Bruce Caldwell had been
dramatically removed from the pic
ture just before the game.
Syracuse Faces Colgate
Syracuse and Colgate, rivals
Since 1891, assemble their forces at
Archbold Stadium in a game in
which it doesn't mean q thing to be
a favorite. Ask any alumnus of the
Maroon or Orange. In the neigh
boring hills of Ithaca, Cornell and
Dartmouth continue series that
started in 1900, each anxious to re-
trieve early season reverses.
So it goes down the list of out
standing games throughout the
country. Tradition may have got
ten an earlier start in the East but
it's well established in the South and
West as well. If this Saturdays in
terest isn't monopolized by such an
ancient rivalry as Georgia Tech-Al-
ALBANIA, Vanderbilt Tennessee or Chi
cago-I Illinois, it is stirred by any
number Of sectional "naturals" such
as Stanford Washington on the Pa
cific Coast, Southern Methodist
Baylor and Texas Christian Texas
in the Southwest, Colorado College,
Colorado University in the Rocky
Mountain sector and Oklahoma Kan
sas in the Missouri Valley area.
Championship Hopes Involved
This year quite few champion
ship hopes are involved in these old
fashioned affairs. Tennessee's Vol
unteers, FOR instance, have been
bowling along at top speed in the
Southern Conference, but pointing
their big guns in the direction of
Vanderbilt. These natural rivals
tied last year and the fray at Nash
vile should be close-fought again.
Of the quartet of East West en-
gagements that add spice to the
slate for Nov. II that involving the
Pitt Panther's invasion of Nebras-
ka offers as entertaining a prospect
as any. The Cornhuskers already
have one Eastern scalp at their
belts. that of Syracuse, but the PAN
theirs whipped the Orange by a
much bigger margin, if that means
anything to the dizzy figure hounds.
Pitt smothered Syracuse 10 to O.
while Nebraska barely got a 7-6
verdict, although outplaying the
Orange by a wider margin than the
score indicated.
Carnegie Plays Irish
The intersectional argument will
be continued by Carnegie's trip to
South Bend to play Notre Dame,
Missouri's battle with New York
University at the Yankee Stadium
and Detroit's visit to the Polo
Grounds to meet Fordhanl. All three
Of these offer prospects Of excit-
ing conflict among teams with some
Of the best records of any in the
East or Midwest.
The ''Big-Ten" title chase may be
affected by the Iowa Wisconsin en-
gagement at Iowa City where the
Badgers will seek revenge for last
years shutout. The Baylor Bears
present a strong challenge to the
aspirations of Southern Methodist
for Southwestern Conference hon.
ors. Washington is unlikely to
bother Stanford to any great ex-
tent, on the basis of past perform
ances, but Southern California is
likely to have its hands full with
Washington State in another out
standing Pacific Coast Conference
