RINCETON and Yale are meeting
today in a game with tradi-
tions stretching back into the
i dim and distant past. The Tiger
and the Bulldog have fought
many thrilling and bitter battle, and
rarely has previous form been any true
guide to the result.
On paper, Princeton looks best. Every
opponent except two-Maine and Dart
nlouth-has scored on the Blue. Two
opponents only--Ohio State and Wash
ington and Lee--have scored on the
Orange and Black. Princeton looks to
have the stronger ends, the better back
field and, all in all, fully as powerful a
line.
You can't pick Yale eleven that lost
its sixth game Of the season to Mary
land to beat a Princeton team just COM
ing to its peak. Yet, in games between
these rivals, anything can happen.
Iowa State and Wisconsin, two un-
beaten teams, will battle for the cham
pionship of the Western Conference.
Iowa is as good as any team I have
seen this season. 1t has mighty line,
adequate ends and great backfield.
Young Glasgow Is magnificent back
and McLain is q tower Of strength. #
Wisconsin defeats this eleven 1t will
teams Of the country. Iowa looks strong
enough to beat anybody.
Tough Game to Pick.
At South Bend unbeaten Carnegie
Tech faces the Millers, Chevignys and
Nieniecs Of Notre Dame. About all
Carnegie has is weight, power and
speed. 1t is true that one might also
mention Howard Harpster. almost as
good quarter as was Walter Steffen;
John Karcis, the two-ton fullback, and
Rosenzweig who demonstrated that an
end still can run with the ball from
scriinmage.
On form Carnegie looks the better
but this game is going to be played on
a home field, where no Notre Dame
team has lost game since Rockne has
been coaching. I'm not going to pick
Carnegie
Pennsylvania appears much too strone
for Columbia, although Penn may suf.

Cougers of Washington State College.
The conflict was the only one having
a definite bearing on the Conference

Tech its touchdown.
Eastern's Defense Strong.
From this stage until the fourth peri
cd, Tech, though virtually always car
rying the fight to Eastern, was unable
to pierce the Eastern defensive. How
ever. Eastern found 1t even harder to
gain against Tech.
In desperation Eastern lashed out
with its only real offensive Of the game
in the final period, and, with the whole
backf1eld alternating In toting the ball,
smashed through to Techs 12-yard line.
Here the Tech defense became damant
and in a final effort to score Oxley
flung pass toward Smith. The bail,
however, was grounded and went into
Techs possession on its own 20-yard
line. The Mckinley boys soon had the
ball out of danger and thereafter East
ern never threatened. In the late stages
Tech was again menacing the Eastern
goal, play ending with the Maroon and
Gray in possession Of the ball on
EaStern's l5-yard line.

1t was stated that the advice of physi-

King George ordinarily enjoys such
good health that even a slight indispo-
sition tends to create certain amount
of surprise.
There was nothing, however, to indi-
cate that the illness was more serious
than had been stated 1t probably
would not have been made the subject
Of a physicians bulletin but for the fact
that there have been instances in the

the King led to startling rumors. The
result was that it has become a rule to
