With an impact that will be heltc

Notre Danes horsemen at Atlanta
while miles to the North Harvard

Ear to the west. out past the
country's mid-section where the
landscape is dotted with Big Ter
battles, California and Southern
California lock horns in a game that
may 20 far toward deciding super
iority on the coast.
In the Big East vs.. West attrac-
ton of the day, one of Nebraska's
giant teams entertains an ambitious
young Syracuse outfit in the new
memorial stadium at Lincoln where
year ago the home team buffeted
its way to a 81 to 0 win.
A great many u the games that
promise to make October 20 men,
orable are clean-cut "naturals" and
among these may be listed the Geor-

ing out as an indubitable favorite
partly on the strength of its shut

tain Blue Howell and his mates hope
to hurl Syracuse back as decisively
q 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
account. The Orange, on the other
hand, is considerably stronger in the
line this year and has shown q run
ming attack with which to back up
the great forward passing of Cap
tain 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 bell
at this stage, while the Cadets have
had three games, including q rea
testing at the hands of Southern
Methodist. Yet Harvard, featuring
Captain French, Harper, Gilligar
and Quarnaccia in the backfield, has
the material for one Of the best
Crimson teams since the war ant
will cause trouble if the line can bat
tie the Army forwards on anywhere
nearly even terms.
