i ball elevens. chiefly because
they are beginning to rs.n
against teams nearly as prominent nc
they are, if not quite rN
Saturdays subject of games throufSa-
out the country briStleS with pros
poets of thrilling conflict. Wherever
you look you find the irresistible force
about to collide with the immovaSle
body, find blazing motors which have
thus early attracted the serious at
tention of gridiron astronomers per-
suing courses which will bring them
into crashing contact.
And in proportion as the strength
of competing elevens is more evenly
adjusted, so the difficulty of selecting
probable winners is emphasized. Al
most every game to be played on Sat-
urday is likely to be close, the out
come toSS-up, but since part Of the
joy of this great Autumn sport lies
in 'pre-game dope. the writer herewith
presents his opinion as to the teams
which seem to hold the edge in the
approaching struggles.
Army-Yale. A great game this.
Yale, despite opinion to the contrary,
~! SO oVlOlIS JuSt uOW DIS SIle was
at this time last year when she beat
the Army by a forward pass touch
down. 1t is doubtful If she will be
able to present her strongest team be-
cause of injuries. Her attack has not
as yet been fully developed. Her ends
are not yet to par.
Leans Toward Yale.
Army was not battered in the Har-
ward game. Yale probably can stop
her running game. She may throttle
the forward passing attack. No one
can ever tell about that. Army will
have tough time with the Eli run
| ming offense. It is asking a lot of the
Cadets to play as fine game against
Yale as they did against Harvard with
| one week interval between. The writer
therefore is inclined to look for a VIC
tory for the Ellis.
Carnegie Tech Pittsburgh. The Skibo
team impressed the writer when he
saw 1t as one of the most promising in
the country. So far this promise has
been fulfilled and the writer expects
! Tech victory.
Colgate-N. Y. U. Another great
prospect. This N. Y. U. outfit Is a big.
a tough, versatile eleven and it seems
1t should win this game.
Columbia Williams. A close game
probably, with Williams picked.
COrnelI-Princeton. Princeton is a big
team with all sorts of material, but a
big injured list, especially among the
guards. Cornell has shown nothing I'M
pressive, but neither has Princeton Be-
lieving the time has come for the Tigers
to show, they are picked as winners.
Dartmouth Harvard. Dartmouth is
picked to defeat the Crimson.
Navy-PennsyIvania. The prospects
seem to be that Penn will win.
Penn State-Syracuse. Looks like a
Syracuse victory.
Purdue Chicago. Purdue is the likely
winner.
Illinois Northwestern This will be q
good game. with Illinois likely to win.
Indiana Ohio State. Two strong
teams, with the Buckeyes apparently the
stronger and thus probable winner.
Iowa Minnesota. The Gophers are
picked to win.
Michigan Wisconsin. This looks like
a Badged victory.
Iowa State Kansas. Iowa State, an
alert, fast team, should win.
Big Midwest Game.
Missouri Nebraska. The big game of
Missouri Valley and a real thriller.
Missouri will be more alert, more
versatile, but Nebraska's almost unbe-
l1evable power and wealth of resources
give her slight edge.
California Olympic Club. California
Is picked.
Oregon State is picked to defeat q. of
Washington.
Tennessee should beat Washington
and Lee
Texas U. should beat Rice.
Vanderbilt should beat Virginia.
v. M. j. should beat Maryland.
California at Los Angeles should beat
Idaho College.
Wesleyan should beat Amherst.
Brown should beat Tufts.
Fordham looks good against Wash
ington and Jefferson.
Holy Cross is picked over Marquett
