YALE, DARTMOUTH .
EACH HAS WIZARD
Booth and Marsters Will Be
Rivals in What Promises
to Be Tight Battle.
BY w. w. ROPER,
Princeton Football Coach.

A MONG the outstanding foot ball
~ games tomorrow in the East are
IA Yale-Dartmouth and Pennsyl-
4 a vania-Navy, and the intersec-
tional battles, Princeton-Chi-
cago, Harvard-Florida, and Army-Soutn
Dakota.
The Yale-Dartmouth game will be
close. Both teams are strong, and 1t will
be q battle from start to finish. Booth
of Yale and Marsters, Dartmouth, are
two of the best backs in the country,
and exceptionally hard to stop. If Yale
doesn't have q let-down after her hard
game with the Army, I favor Yale. But
Dartmouth showed great power in out
playing Harvard, 34-7.
The Pennsylvania-Navy game will be
another close one, and it Is hard to
pick the winner. Pennsylvania, though
defeated, put up good game against
the strong California team, but had to
resort to a drop-kick to beat Lehigh
last Saturday. Lehigh, however. has
its best team In years. Penn has good
backs in Gentle and Masters. The Navy
line should be stronger than Penn's,
and Navy has rugged team. Spring
In the backfield Is good. Pennsylvania
will fight hard to retaliate for last year
when the Navy won, Go.
Princeton Is Favored.
OF the intersectional games perhaps
the most interesting is Princeton Chi
cago. These teams played for the first
time in 1921, in Princeton, when Chi
cago won. The return game was at
Chicago the following year, and at the
end OF one OF the most spectacular foot
ball battles ever waged Princeton was
ahead, 21-18. This year Chicago is at
Princeton.
After her singing defeat last week
Dy Purdue, Chicago probably will come
against Princeton. But if the Prince
ton players show the same fighting spirit
as against Navy, pick them to win.
Florida meets Harvard at Cambridge,
and undoubtedly will play a good. close
game: But Florida, after having de-
teated Georgia, 1876. may have Slight
let-down, and the long trip North IS
hard. On the other hand, Harvard.
after Its defeat by Dartmouth. will try
strong comeback and should play q
good game. The Harvard team I'M
doubtedly has power, particularly In the
line. pick Harvard to win.
Army Should Recover.
The Army plays South Dakota at
West Point, and should have been able
to recuperate sufficiently from the Yale
game to win. A rugged team like the
Army, with such backs as eagle and
Murrel, will not lose two weeks in sue
ceSSion.
Cornell meets Columbia at Ithaca.
and 1t should be great fight. Column.
bia has an outstanding back In Hewitt,
who may make trouble for the Ithacans.
However, pick Cornell.
Syracuse and Penn State will be an
other close game. Each is good. SYRIA
cuse should win.
. New York University meets George
town at New York. Last year George
town won, To, but look for the re-
verse tomorrow, though the game win
be close.
Pittsburgh plays Ohio State, and
should come out victor. Ohio State
showed let-down last week in its tie
with Indiana, but Pitt looks stronger
any way.
Brown should beat Holy Cross. Last
year Brown won, 60, and tomorrow It
should be close again.
The Lafayette Washington and Jeffer.
son game will be a good one, and close.
pick Lafayette.
Georgia Tech won from Notre Dame,
1870, last year, but I doubt If it can do
this tomorrow. Rockne's team Is espe-
cially good, and think Notre Dame
will win.
