- and earn yourself the title of a
frst-class prophet. California,
l. Southern California and STAN
ford are usually the big elevens
of the Pacific Coast Washington Is
about the only team that trims any OF
them, and this season Washington isn't
so much.
stanford came to New York last
Autumn and maSsacred the Army.
Moreover, while we had been warned to
look out for certain. backs on the STAN
ford team, Pop Warner trotted out a
lot of other backs unknown to Eastern
ers and these unknowns all looked al
most as good as Chris eagle, and when
you say that about a ball carrier you
have said plenty.
So, now that California is about to
play Pennsylvania, we are told to save
both eyes for Benny LON. Benny IS
advertised as one of those great western
backs who can run like the Mississippi
in flood time, dodge like witness at a
Senate inquiry, and kick like a dis
satisfied customer trying to get his
money back. 1t may be so.
But for my part-Shal keep at
least one eye in action for some of those
other backs. If this team is anything
like Stanford there will, at some point
in the contest, be an upheaval on the
bench where the substitutes are parked
and the blanket will be taken of some
bull moose measuring six feet to the
shoulders and with a record for the 100
yards Of SIS seconds.
Or else o full grown jack rabbit,
holding the world record for leaping
wide and handsome, will be produced.
Yes, sir. I'll keep an eye on Benny
Lom, but shall not be surprised to sec
other performers aside from Benny.
Penn Must Be Ready.
This is said by some to be great
California eleven and by others to be
not so good. Pennsylvania had better
be prepared for a tough opponent. In
no form of Athletics has the West been
sending any setups East.
California always has had the repu-
tation OF being fine defensive team.
II Penn had entertained them last sea-
certainly have been tried. 1t may be
tried tomorrow, but, however strong
Penn may be, it isn't any stronger
through having lost Scull, Shober and
few more of last years stars. II this
Penn team beats California, 1t will de-
serve a great deal of credit.
Meanwhile, at Cambridge, Harvard
will play the Army and, in spite OF
Chris eagle, the chances of the Grim
son are highly regarded. Unless out
smarted, Harvard should win tomorrow
and go on to a fine season. Still, an
Army team coached by Biff Jones never
is beaten until the final whistle sounds.
This is one of those games which will
have big bearing on the final rating
OF the elevens involved. It should give
the winner lot of confidence.
Columbia Well Rated.
Dartmouth, with Marsters and other
good backs. fine ends and a powerful
line, ordinarily would be an overwhelm-
ing favorite over Columbia, but this sea-
son Columbia has shown far more prom
Use than at any time in recent years.
II the breaks are even, Dartmouth
should have quite battle on its hands,
in spite of the fact that the Green looks
to be great eleven.
New York University may have bei,e-
fitted a. lot from its defeat by Fordhafn.
but it is tackling rugged opponent in
Penn State. New York's best chance Is
that 1t has had q hard contest, while
Penn State has not yet met an opponent
In its own class.
Holy Cross, meeting Fordham, has
that advantage always enjoyed by a
team meeting an opponent which has
recently played fine game and is like
ly to suffer q reaction. But, on the sur
face of things, Fordham should be the
winner.
Brown More Than Lucky"
Brown was lucky to beat Princeton,
but luck is with the contestant game
enough to force 1t, and Yale cannot af-
ford to hold Brown lightly. Yale doesn't
look as strong as Princeton, but it should
have too much reserve power for Brown,
