PHIA, Nov. 29.-Harry Stuhl-

horsemen of Notre Dame. has an
opportunity today to further dem

football teachings Of his former
coach-Knute Rockne.
Stuhldreher, as coach of the vii
lanova College eleven, today can
remove one of the biggest obstacles
in Notre Danes pathway to the
national football championship by
downing Washington State, unde-

and the tournament of roses op-

what StuhIdreher likes, as the
same public attitude helped
him inspire the Wildcats to
upset victories over Temple

It's the frigid weather that's both

ARMY'SSTAND
MAY DECIDE
ISSUE
BY LES CONKLN

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Puzzled
prognosticators attempting to sift
the claims of Army, Dartmouth.
Colgate and Fordham to the
eastern football championship
turned hopeful eyes today to Chi
cago and Palo Alto, where this
afternoons intersectional battles
should throw some light on the
situation.
The records of Army and Dart
mouth we're marred this morning
only by tie with Yale while
Colgate and Fordham had clean
states except for one defeat apiece
at the hands of an opponent
from another sector The out
look is that by nightfall, all four
contenders will find themselves
in the same boat, for Stanford
has slight edge over Dartmouth
and Notre Dame is a strong fav.
orite over the Cadets.
If the Soldiers should pull
one out of the hat and beat
the RambIerS, they would win
the Eastern title without q
dissenting vote, in addition to
placing a first mortgage on
national hOnOrS. But if Army
loses and Dartmouth wins,

knickers, the Green Noun
tain boys will be awarded the
Eastern crown without further
ado.
In the event that both Dart
mouth and Army take a sweet
licking today, decision on the
Eastern championship will be re-
served pending the outcome OF
the post-season tilts between the
Army and Navy and Colgate and
New York University.
| Fordham's record is impressive,
except for a 20-tc-12 defeat by
st. Mary's, a good coast eleven.
Colgate crushed all opposition ex-
cept Michigan State, which had
tied Michigan, co-champions Of
the Big Ten.
Dartmouth has one point in its
favor against Stanford today, in
that it is one Of the few Eastern
colleges that can boast of victory
over a Far West eleven, having
trounced a Washington team on
the coast some years ago. Stan
ford is a 5-to-2 favorite, however.
