NEW YORK, October 1S.-
They are going to play of a
lot of very indelicate football
low, coarse football, very
boorish, indeed, and very good
to look at-before sundown
tomorrow. Yes, brother, the
boys are going to forget they
are gentlemen.
California, for instance, is out to
break par for the trans-continental
course by playing Pennsylvania at
Philadelphia right in the middle OF
the season, then turing around and
going back to Berkeley in time to
resume its coast schedule the follow
ing Saturday. This one ought to be
good.
Out at Lincoln, Pittsburgh team
that is said to be its best since the
Warner regime will get itself very
much involved with Nebraska, which
is no trick at all. The hard part

This one will be good. SO will
the meeting between Tennessee
and Alabama down in old Knox
vile. The time may come when
they will be paying off with the
southern title on this one.
But however good Pitt may be, it
will find itself in a football game.
You have to be very good to beat
the, huskers anywhere. but parti-
cularly at Lincoln.
Tennessee and Alabama seem to
be the power teams of the South,
although the former outscored its
rival considerably against Missis-
sippi. That will mean less than
nothing when the whistle blows.
however Georgia. having smeared
Yale, ought to be ready with plenty
of fight against North Carolina,
winner over Tech. national cham
to come back against Florida, which
isn't easy to do, or admit that 1t
doesn't belong this year.
Iowa was beaten only point by
Ohio State and must be accepted as
a live one against Illinois. State
plays its big game with Michlgan'
already beaten by Purdue. While
the NOrthwesternMin meet
ing. Judged through their respective
victories over Wisconsin and Van
derbilt should be a "wowser," sure
enough. AS for Notre Dame, II
looks like to l against Wisconsin.
Harvard has quite chance
against the Army's uncertain
line, eagle or no eagle, but there
IL little to go on with Carnegie
Tech and w. and }. also with
Yale and Brown. Cornell ana
Princeton and FOrdham ana
Holy Cross.
Tho former looked like a million
against n. Y. u. but lost a coupe
~ stars in the midst of the excite
nent. This may be enough to SWING
the thing the other way.
The East itself is promising qulte
a ruction. Exclusive TO the CAN
fornia a-Pennsylvania and Harvard
Army games. this section IS sendlhg
Brown. winner over Princeton,
against Yale; Princeton against Cor
nell. Carnegie Tech against w. and
j., arch-rivals, this pair; Dartmouth
against Columbia, and Fordham
against Holy Cross. Lafayette
versus BucknelI and N. Y. u. versus
Penn State are two more stand-out
games in the East, while the Navy
will play an intersectional contest
of slight consequence with Duke:
The best of the intersectlonal
meetings. Of course, will be those
at Philadelphia and Lincoln. How
ever, another good one couples
Indiana with Colgate, which has
been trying to get out of the Middle
West for the last three weeks.
The Kansas Kansas Aggies,
Missouri. Drake, MarQuette-1OWa
State, Tulane-SOuthwest Louis.
lana Institute, Vanderbilt Ala
bama Poly and Southern Cali
fOrnia Occidental games will
furnish a somewhat less than
major note I'm the lullaby the
wires will sing all afternoon
long.
In spite of it's natural advantages,
PENNSYLVANIA is not given much of
q chance with California, the idea
being that it lacks the saVvy neces-
NAary to match the Bears expert
enced team. 1t Is impossible to call
the Pitt; Nebraska game, the HusKers
having played a tie with Southern
Methodist, y which previously had
been tied by a minor opponent in
the Southwest.
AS to that, have it straight from
the management. or something, that
Harvard and the Army fully intend
to be very firm with each other at
Cambridge. This ball game, the first
big meeting between eastern teams
this year, will be one of the real
good ones Of the day. There are
others almost by the dozens.
Every ranking conference is in
for a large afternoon. The big ten
will sponsor Illinois and Iowa, Michi-
gan and Ohio State, Northwestern
and Minnesota.
Meantime. NOtre Dame will be
taking another haymaIier at the
Big Ten via Wisconsin.
The southern conference. in addi-
tion to the Alabama Tennessee game,
is bringing together Georgia Tech
and Florida, the one-three leaders
of 1928. and the present sensation,
North Carolina, with Georgia. The
coast conference. with California in
the East, enjoys something OF
breather. although Stanford has
chosen itself no Chump in Oregon
state. The other meetings out there
involve Oregon with Idaho and
