" intersectional angle that has
"A been so conspicuous so far in
4 4 college foot ball fades into the
background this week. The
spotlight turns on at least a dozen
conference or sectional championship
aspirations in the East, South and
Middle West
Three of these conspicuous contests
bring together six undefeated teams,
among the Nations best gridiron prod
ucts so far, and the atmosphere may be
distinctly cleared as a result.
The EaSt's big spectacle will see West
Points Cadets charging upon Yale be-
fore some $4,000 in the bowl at New

of the new Big Six at stake.
A few others should be mentioned.

Mountain conference elevenS, Utah and
University of Colorado. will fight it out
to see who will stay with Colorado Col
lege at the top.
Big Games in the South.
In the South. where the main con-
ference race is getting hotter every
week, two of the pacesetters, Clemson
and South Carolina, renew an ancient
feud on Thursday, in advance of such
other important battles on Saturday as
Georgia Tech-North Carolina, Wander
bilt-Virginia, Georgia Tulane and Ten
nessee- Washington and Lee.
There will be no more color any,
where nor probably any more action
than in the clash between Cadet and
Bulldog in the Yale bowl. The fight
between these two contenders for East
ern honors also involves the rivalry OF
two of the outstanding backs of that
section---John Garvey of Old Eli and
Red eagle of West Point and Old LOU

college but Princeton has done in re-
cent years-beat Harvard and Yale in
