AWAIT SATURDAY
Princeton Coach DisS8tsd-
Army Awaits Harvard

New York, Oct. Is N-Bill Ro-
per's on the rampage and when the
one-time Philadelphia alderman h
in that state ferocious Princeton
football tigers curl up and play
dead"
Bills plainly Disguised with the
way his Tigers behaved against Vir-
ginia's cavaliers and he's taking
some drastic steps to locate the
punch that was 20 badly missing In
last Saturdays scoreless draw.
First ana foremost, Roper ordered
His squad to return to the huddle
system Of calling signals after q two
weeks experiment with the old "vo-
cal" method. The Tigers had too
much trouble hearing their quarter
back call the signals, so the huddle
will be revived.
Bills changes didn't stop there.
He plans to send Duck Pendergast
to right end in place Of Morrison
Hockenbury to right tackle for
Moore: Levine to left guard for
Byles. and Graham Jones into the
backfield for Requardt. Against Le-
high this Saturday. Jack Fanshaw
will be at fullback in place Of the
injured Mike Miles. and Dick Mes
tres II to fill the guard position.
Roper expects few difficulties with
Lehigh. but after the Tigers show
ing against Virginia he probably
feels that anything can happen.
The east will watch Princeton's
fray with Lehigh with no moro than
half an eye. There are too many
arst-rank games for anything more
than that.
Army W. Harvard
Army gets its second "shot" at 4
major rival when the cadets travel
to Cambridge to battle Harvard.
Army was forced to reveal most Of
it's bag Of tricks to pull tire Southern
Methodist game out OF the hre,
while Harvard was not particularly
extended to down Springfield and
North Carolina. The Army game
should prove beyond a doubt just
how much Is to be expected Of the
Crimson this season.
Yale Is Favorite
Yale, on the basis Of its surpris-
ingly easy victory over Georgia.
rules a heavy favorite to turn back
Brown, which was troubled to nose
out Dayton by = single touchdown
last Saturday.
Dartmouth's defense already has
been pierced by Norwich and Allie
gheny and Columbia hopes the
GREEN'S line will show no improve
ment at Hanover. Unbeaten Penn
sylvania meets Penn State which
met defeat by Bucknell last week.
state. however. points out that the
Nitanny Lions bowed to Bucknell
last year, but came on to defeat
Pennsylvania just the same.
International Slate
The International slate Is not SO
heavy as last weeks but four out
games will see Syracuse
meeting Nebraska at Lincoln: Col
gate travelling to Lansing to battle
Michigan State; Duke invading An
napolis to take on the discouraged
Navy while Washington and Lee and
West Virginia adjourn to neutral
ground at Charlestown, w. ", to
have their argument out.
Washington and Jefferson. beaten
by little Duquesne. takes on another
tartar In Carnegie Tech and Lafay-
cite faces its first real test against
Bucknell. After its decisive defeat
by New York university, Fordham
sees little hope of turning back Holy
Cross at Worcester. N. Y. U. how
ever, meets minor opposition in Rut-
gers. Georgetown should have little
trouble with West Virginia Wesleyan
although the Washington collcgians
will find scoring harder than 1t was
against Susquehanna and Lebanon
Valley. Pitt. still suffering from
shock after West Virginia's triumph,
has a breathing spell against Allie
gheny.
