FOOTBALL FEUDS
ARE HERE AGAIN
East Has Many "Glms for
Blood" This Weekend


has many ancient feuds to renew
this Saturday.
Only two eastern representatives
will be pttted against opponents
from other sectors-Georgetown
taking on Duke at Washington
while Holy Cross sntertains Mar
quette at Worcester. Mass. George
town. which has rolled up more
than zoo points against it, first four
opponents IL an overwhelming .fav,
orite to defeat Duke but Holy Gross,
rudely jolted by Fordham last week,

against Marquette.
The rest Of the day Is given over
to inter-sectional combat. involving
in some instances. rivals OF long
standing.
Yale and Army. both unbeaten
and united. clash at New Haven, In
their 2Sth meeting. This series.
which has developed into one of the
casts leading football spectacles be-
gan in 1893.
Dartmouth, another indicated
eleven. tackles a Harvard team.
beaten only by Army. for the 3bth
time at Cambridge. The gridiron
rivalry between Crimson and Indian
began away back In 1882. Harvard
had all the best Of it for more than
a score Of years but Dartmouth, in
recent seasons, has been cutting
down the Crimson's advantage slow.
iy but surely. Their performances to
date indicate another Dartmouth
victory although perhaps not by the
decisive margin OF 30-6 by which
the Indians triumphed in 1927.
Princeton and Cornell, yearly RI
walls from 1891 to 1907. will battle
at Princeton for the 18th time. This
rivalry was interrupted after 1907
until last season when relations
were resumed. Princeton earning q
21-i0 victory. This year both have
undefeated records to maintain al
though the Tigers have been tied by
Virginia.
Talking about ancient rivalries,
New England can point with pride
to the Little Three" battle between
Amherst and Wesleyan, and Bow
doin's fray with Colby. Both these
series started in the early SOS.
Syracuse. beaten in heart break
ing fashion by Nebraska last week,
meets Penn State, no new rival for
the orange. The Nittany Lions. sue
cessively beaten by Bucknell and
Pennsylvania, hopes to turn the tide
at Syracuses expense but the experts
can't see it that way.
Pitt and Carnagie Tech have en-
gagged in many thrilling fray for
the city championship and 1t will be
strange if either wins by more than
touchdown this Saturday.
Then there's Penn and Navy who
clash at Philadelphia In their thir-
teenth game since 1883. Oddly
enough. 1t will be one Of the few
times when Navy will take the field
against the Red and Blue conceded
virtually no chance of winning.
Out in Central Pennsylvania, Get
tysburgh tacles q traditional rival,
Ducknell. which In recent years has
jumped into the major college class

Bucknell on Its first three games,
defeating Penn State among others.
and then battled Lafayette to q
scoreless tie last Saturday.
Lafayette can expect no rest
against West Virginia which at the
moment, seems'to have about as
strong an aggregation as any in the
east. Since the first home defeat by
Davis and Eikins the mountaineers
have come to the front in amazing
fashion. defeating West Virginia,
the Haskell Indians. Pittsburgh and
Washington and Lee in succession.
New York University meets q
tartar In Colgate which held the Vi
olet to a scoreless tie last season.
the up-staters will bring a formid-
able team to New York but none
of the invaders will be watched
more closely than Bruce Dumont.
the buriy guard. whose punting
saved the day against N. Y. U. in
1927.
Columbia. in its present crippled
condition. fears Williams. another
indicated eleven, but Fordham
hopes for a decisive triumph over
Washington and jefferson.
