TO CARNEGIE TECH

Title Hopes.

N YEW YORK, November 13.-The
East in general and Pittsburgh
NJ specifically sends two foot ball
/ elevenS into hostile Midwest
ern territory this Saturday, the
one to establish itself more firmly as
an outstanding contender for the ma
tional title and the other to halt the
rush of another claimant to the myth
ical championship.
Carnegie Techs husky Engineers,
who vaulted into prominence by down.
ing Georgetown last Saturday, are
faced with a golden opportunity to add
to their foot ball prestige by defeating
Notre Dame at South Bend. The Tar
tans' campaign for national recognl-
ton will be helped no little If the Pitts
burgh PantherS are neighborly enough
to turn back a hitherto all-conquering
Nebraska Cornhusker aggregation at
Lincoln.
Chances Are Even Up.
OF course, it is at least an even-up
chance that both these objectives will
fail. Notre Dame has taken two lick
ines this year and thinks that is
enough. 1t demonstrated this fact con-
cluSively to the bitter disappointment
of the Army last week.
And then Nebraska, trouncing Okla
homa, A to 6, last Saturday, gave no
apparent indication that it was in any
mood to be stopped even by Pitt
Panther that has come back to life
with a vengeance in the last two weeks.
The CornhuskerS beat Syracuse by
only a single point on OCTOBER ~ ano
Pitt turned the trick, 18 to 0, two
weeks later, but comparative scores are
hardly a reliable basis of comparison.
The West incidentally Is sending
three emissaries into the East this
week-MisSouri tackling New York
University at the Yankee Stadium, un-
defeated Detroit invading the Polo
Grounds to take on Fordham, while
the Army's Cadets entertain Carleton
at West Point.
That completes the intersectional an
gle of the program, but none OF these
contests will draw the throng that will
flock to Princeton to see the f1fty-sec-
nnd meeting between a Yale bulldog,
battered by Army and Maryland, and
a Princeton tiger held to draw by
Virginia and Ohio State.
Penn Favored to Win.
Pennsylvania will be favored to de-
feat Columbia in their nineteenth meet
ing at Philadelphia, and Cornell, de-
spite a defeat by Princeton and score
less ties with Columbia and st. Bona
venture, may be the public choice
against Dartmouth eleven beaten by
Harvard, Yale and Brown on success
sive Saturdays. This rivalry, begun in
1900 and renewed next Saturday for the
eleventh time, is a .youngSter compared
with the thirtieth clash between Syra-
cuse and Colgate, who first began re-
lationS on the gridiron in 1891, or the
forty-hfth battle between Amherst and
Williams, who started their friendly
feud in 1884.
Harvard, rudely stopped by Pennsyl-
vania, meets a Holy Cross eleven ap-
parently not up to some previous. teams
turned out at worcester, but Penn State
and West Virginia. will find the road
anything but easy against Lafayette
and Georgetown, respectively.
Boston College, now sharing Eastern
leadership with Carnegie Tech, with six
victories and no. defeats, should win
rithout trouble from Canisius, unde-
ted but tied by ST.. Thomas. The

Rutgers travelling to Bethlehem
>et Lehigh, while Washington and
son and Bucknell battle It out on
al ground, at Johnstown, Pa.
IVY and Brown take on Loyola of
..yland and New Hampshire, respec-
js.y, and Wesleyan should not be ex-
ended against a decidedly sub-par
S0wdoin eleven.
