IRISH HAVE BULGE
. ON NORTHWESTERN
Title Decided, Traditional
Games Keep Up interest
=
Among Big Ten Teams.
BY BOB ZUPPKE.

|
HIG TEN teams have played AZ lot
~ of good foot ball this season
and there will be no let-up
IL tomorrow, although the cham
pionShip was settled last week.
Traditional rivalries are often more
eff1cacious in inspiring an eleven than
the vision of championship crown.
Northwestern, defeated by Indiana, to
general surprise, bears the banners of
the Big Ten against Notre Dame in
the penultimate game of the Irish cam
paign. A coach likes nothing better
than bunch of eager sophomores full
of elixir of youth which may kick out
in all directions, and Northwestern
against Illinois veterans was a fine
example of this spirit Northwestern
played good foot ball this season. but
Coach Hanley did not have the reserve
power to keep up the pace.
AS Big Ten coach I wish North
western well, but the Irish have more
speed, more foot ball knowledge and
more man power. My guess is that they
will win.
All we know about Washington, which
plays Chicago at Chicago, Is that the
Huskies, after a bad season. turned in
good games against Stanford and Cali
fornia, losing by single touchdown in
each instance. If the Pacific Coast
triumvirate is as good as assumed this
should indicate superiority over Chicago.
Chicago Is Average.
Chicago has only average players and
no backs of great ability, although Van
Nice looked good against Princeton.
Nevertheless, Coach Stages wide pass
ing formation, with one player out at
the side line and another in motion, is
hard to stop. My guess is Chicago.
Iowa has pounded along week after
week against as tough opposition as
there is in the country and probably
shot lot of its strength in its struggle
against Purdue. Inherently the Hawk
eyes are better team than Michigan.
They are better open-field tacklers.
But the Hawkeyes have made their
great effort and failed and the Mich
igan game Is an anti-climaX for them.
Michigan, coming back after a disas-
trous start to beat Harvard and Minne-
sofa. is in fine spirits and has more in
centive. The wolverines should be at
their best. The game will be tight and
may be decided by point after touch
down or field goal, but my guess is
Michigan.
You may expect Indiana to make a
great stand against Purdue at Bloom
ington, but the champions should down
their hereditary rivals. Indiana has a
strong passing attack, as well as Pur-
due, but the Purdue backs are better.
Ohio States players, refreshed by a
rest last Saturday and eager to close
with victory over an old rival, are likely
| to play over their heads against Illinois
at Columbus. The advantage of these

T HE outstanding foot ball game on

The outcome viii have an i'm
portant bearing on the final ratings In

Southern California still has a chance

Stanford wins from California.
Bears Good in PInches.
NV opinion is that California will
win the title in close contest. 1t has
a good team and one which has been
able to pull through when necessary.
However, this season has brought
series of upsets such IS has not been
eoualed in the history of the game. and
another one tomorrow Is not too un-
likely to consider.
1t is, Of course, possible that the
California eleven will not be at the peak
Of their game, as they were forced
to extend themselves against Washing
ton last week. If they are not, the
defeat which Santa Clara gave Stanford
last Saturday may affect the result, LOT
the Stanford boys unqueStionably Will
do their utmost to retrieve the iaureiS
they then lost.
OF the players themselves, Lom Tor
California should prove the outstanding
back. and his work will be watched with
interest, as he has been mentioned
prominently for All-American honors
Stanford has fast backs in Frentrup
and Moffet and they may prove dan
gerous threat to California.
Gin Deserves Credit.
Gill. California fullback, deserves
special mention for the splendid game
he has played this season, both of1en-
sively and defensively, and Will, no
doubt, offer plenty Of resistance to
Stanford.
Both teams have sturdy and capable
lines, and If there is any outstanding
figure on the line Of scrimmage it Will
be Row Riegels, California center.
The University of Southern California
meets Idaho at Los Angeles, and, based
on previous records. the Trojans should
win, but not without a stubborn fight.
The University Of Washington plays

Huskies has been so marked that be-
lieve they will defeat Chicago. on Stagg

Harvard Passes Likely Haruss Yale Nohg Dame Picked

The Aggies, who defeated Kansas,
Missouri and Iowa State by 1-point
margins, have a we'll balanced squad
and they meet Nebraska on their own
field. Nebraska, which defeated Kan
sas and tied with Missouri and Okla
homa, is the only undefeated Big Six
team. The Cornhuskers, neither on Of
tense nor defense, have been up to old
standards, but with greater reserve
power they should have the edge.

is set for a Kansas victory, as The jay

Drake. champion of the Missouri VAL

All season Coach Gauthier has been
pointing Ohio Wesleyan for its invasion
of West Point, and the Cadets may ex-
pect an interesting brush, for Gauthier
usually presents good team. Last year
he caught Michigan on color in their
opening game and rpSet the Wolverines.
But Ohio Wesleyan is not as good as
last season and even with the Cadets
minds on Notre Dame they should re-
pulse the invaders handily If they use
their biggest guns.

ELI IS GIVEN EDGE
IN RUNNING ATTACK
Booth May Weigh Scale in
Bulldogs Favor-Lehigh
Task for Lafayette.
BY w. w. ROPER,
Princeton Foot Ball Coach.

The Harvard-Yale game looms big in
the East for tomorrow. AS see it there
As little to choose between the teams.
Physical condition favors Harvard. The
Princeton game always takes lot out
OF the Yale players, though I doubt II
this years contest took as much out Of
them as the three preceding ones.
Yale got off to a slow start against
Princeton last Saturday, and was not
at her best during the first half. In
the second half the Eli attack got going
but gained mainly on end runs. The
Yale attack was not a grueling one,
and didn't exact as much of the line.
Yale is well fortified with reserve ma
terial, and Stevens used plenty Of play
ers against the Tigers. Booth was kept
out OF the game. His charleyhorse
should now be much better. All in all
Yale should go into the Harvard game
in the best physical condition in years.
Didn't Need Booth.
The team found itself without Booth
against Princeton, and the players
should be in fine spirits. STILL 1t is a
hard job to play Princeton and Harvard
on successive Saturdays, and here Har-
ward has a big advantage.
Yale has a strong running attack
with powerful end run, but the Har-
against Princeton. should be able to
stop 1t. The Harvard tackles must shift.
to meet the run and the Harvard ends
must come in sharply at the ball car
rier. If the Harvard tackles and ends
wait on the line they will be taken out
of the play. Or course, with Booth IN
the game there is the threat of the cut
back, and the Harvard defensive back
will be put to the test.
To date Yale has not shown much of
passing game. The Yale attack has
stand, Is not much of q pasSer. This is
a weakness that may be Yale's undoing
II Harvard can stop the Yale running
game. Yale hasn't shown much Of a
passing attack to date.
Yale Attack Stronger.
After giving Harvard the edge on
physical condition. would say Yale has
the more powerful attack, with the ex-
ception Of the passing game, and this
may be an important factor. The Yal.
backs play up close; that is, they did
against Princeton. Harvard has fine,
long passing attack, and mighty good
paSser. look to see the Crimson
threaten in this department all after
noon.
Coupled with this, Harvard is the best
team IN the East with the lateral pass.
So in careful analysis of the teams
and their strengths and weaknesses, /
can see little to choose. It looks as If
his play may be the deciding factor.
There viii be q close battle between
Lehigh and Lafayette. Lehigh has a
better record than usual, though I was
surprised at the defeat by Rutgers. La
fayette has strong defensive team,
but in attack it looks like an even
thing with Lehigh having the best
chance in years to win.
There will sbeAa real game between
Fordham and Bucknell There is little
favor Bucknell.

Outstanding Stars.

VALE has had in Albie Booth one of
/ the sensational backs of the year
of many years. 1t has been long time
since a back, weighing well under $50
pounds, was able to star upon a big
time organization, facing hard sched-
ule.
Harvard has in Barry Wood one of
the star paSSers of the game. When
Fielding Yost rates him up in the
neighborhood one, ruled by Benny Fried
man, the caliber of his craftsmanship
can be understood. Wood can't run
and kick with Booth and Booth can't
pass with Wood. There was a time
when the East was supposed to be well
back of the West in forward passing.
This season the East has two of the
greatest passers foot ball has known,
in Casie and Wood. If the West has
had passers to match this pair they
have been kept under cover since the
season started.
Harvard has better all-around back
field than Yale has-a stronger COL
lection OF reserves. Not many teams
can bank upon such flock as Harper,
Mays. Putnam. Wood, Hughely, Potter,
Deven and Gilligan.

There is greater interest in each con-
test this season than their average
meeting can show, with something TO
spare. California and Stanford are
two of the strongest teams that foot
ball calls into action for 1929. Harvard
and Yale are we'll above last season s
strength, so far as possibilities go. The
Blue and the Crimson have played high
class foot ball and each has been able
to put on attack worth looking at-an
attack hooked to speed and power
plus an improvement in the passing
game.

California and Stanford.
THIS game has the Pacific Coast In a
l. turmoil. The annual rivalry of
California and Stanford goes back 40
years Their next meeting will have a
decisive bearing on the Pacific Coast
championship. California has shown
more stuff than Western critics allotted
Prices team at the start, and there Is
a general belief that Stanford has not
yet played up to its peak form.
California goes into battle with four
leading stars-Benny Lom, backfield;
Schwartz, guard; R:igels, center, and
Norton, end.
California also has a fast, able quarter
in EiSan, a marvellous punt catcher ana
a hard man to bring down.
Lom is one of the best backs fc~I
ball has turned into action this Fall.
He is a fine ball carrier, a high-class
kicker. an able passer and strong de-
fensive man. He can do about every
thing that a good back ought to do,
and do it all extremely we'll.
It was Loms all-around play that
helped California to upset Pennsylvania
and Southern California. He will be
hard to suppress at Palo Alto.
This Far Western game should be
classic. In the way Of a tremendous
crowd, highly fevered interest and high
