three Pennsylvania colleges hope
to stage next Saturday. A trio of Key

went down in unexpected defeats last
week and two of them are out to climb
back into the limelight by turning in
upsets themselves.
Penn State, beaten for the second
successive year by Bucknell by a 6-to-O
score, hopes to repeat last years come
back at the expense of Pennsylvania
A year ago State accomplished that
feat when Penn was favorite. Having
run up total of lat points in three mi
nor games, Penn is generally favored
this year.
Penn State is handicapped by the
loss of two first-string linemen, Kicker
and Shawley, who were injured in the
Bucknell game. Penn also has a tale
of woe in the loss of Ralph Monk, star
guard, who will be kept out of the
game by boil on his arm. So far his
absence has had no visible effect on the
Penn attack, which covered 80 yards In
seven plays yesterday to score on q
strong scrub team.
Washington and Jefferson, beaten by
Duquesne last Saturday, next plays
Carnegie Tech. Thiel scored twice on
Carnegie Tech last week, although los
ing As to 10, and Westminster crossed
the Carnegie goal line in the opening
game.
Pittsburgh, which was on the short
end of a 9-to-6 score In the West Vir-
gin1a game last week, has a compare
lively weak opponent in Allegheny and
has only the prospect of running up a
large score to make up for the defeat.
Allegheny, which showed strength in
scoring twice on Dartmouth, has a good
opening to add another upset to the
growing list.
West Virginia seems to have a soft
spot in Washington and Lee, which was
beaten by Kentucky last Saturday
West Virginia has 6-to-6 tie left from
last year to clean off the books. Buck
nell, the giant killer, continues along
its tough schedule by entertaining La
fayette at Lewisburg.
Syracuse, the Eastern entry In the
intersectional wars, Is on Its way to Lin
coin, where there is little matter of a
21-to-0 defeat by the Cornhuskers last
year to clean up.
In other parts Of the Eastern front
the Army and Harvard are presenting
the leading encounter, with the Yale
Brown and Columbia Dartmouth Strug-
giles as secondary attractions. The ca.
diets never have beaten Harvard and
have scored only once, but they have
high hopes.
The game at New Haven is full Of
doubt, because of the condition of both
the Yale and Brown squads. Coact

first scrimmage since the opening game
yesterday, but still is taking no chance.

Although Columbia has not beater
Dartmouth in % years, the prospect.
for the New Workers look better thar
they have in some time. The Columbis

mouth defense has been penetrated or
several occasions by lesser opponents.
Princeton and Navy are working hare
to develop strength for their meeting
with Lehigh and Duke, the Tigers OF
their line, which showed weakness
against Virginia, and the Midshipmer
on an attack which has failed to appear
80 far this season.
