YALE-ARMY CLASH
MAIN ATTRACTION
PrinCeton-Navy and Harvard.
Dartmouth Contests Also
Hold Much Interest.
BY H. C. BYRD.

n
1 " ward and Princeton play
~ this week headline the
foot ball situation in the
East. Chief interest is likely to
center in the Yale-Army contest
at New Haven, with the Harvard
Dartmouth meeting at Cambridge
standing next.
The Army is said to have one
Of its greatest elevenS and it's
main desire this season is to take
the measure of Yale, while Dart
mouth has an opportunity to
demonstrate greatness by con-
tinuing what it began last Satur-
day against Columbia.
Princeton and Navy always fur
nish an attractive struggle, ire
spective of their showingS against
other big schools.
Army has been pointing for Yale
all Fall. It had rather win from the
Dark Blue than from any other team
on its schedule. AS one Army man put
1t not long ago, I'VE took a fine sock
on the chin last year from Yale and we
do not mean to take another this time
II We can help it; and we think we
can" The Army will go to New Haven
expecting to beat Yale, as it feels that
it has stronger team. But the Army
knows what Yale can do when Yale is
fighting at its best, and, furthermore,
Army knows Yale will be at its best
Saturday afternoon.
Last week the West Point team won
from Harvard, and it would, indeed, be
a great triumph for it to take the
measure Of Yale the following Saturday.
It Is not often that any foot ball team
has whipped Harvard one week and
Yale the next. To do this, Army real
ICES that It must center its attention on
Booth, as he seems to be the spark
plug Of the Yale eleven. With him Yale
goes and without him Yale does not
60, and the inference is that If Army
stops Booth 1t will stop Yale.
Dartmouth Is Strong.
Dartmouth also Is in good position
to earn a place in the sun, at least Tor
the time being. The Green eleven star
tied the foot ball world last week by
swamping Columbia, which was looked
upon as being one of the strong teams
Of the East. However, after Dartmouth
got through With the New Workers the
stories were all about the Hanover
team and its unexpected strength.
Last year Dartmouth walked rough
shod over Harvard, but Harvard Is
thought to be much more powerful and
versatile now than it was then. However
that may be- though, If Dartmouth gets
away with the Crimson 1t will eStab-
lish itself among the best elevenS in the
East, which may not hold any longer
than its game with Yale, as Dartmouth
seems unable to do anything much in
foot ball way when 1t steps into the
Yale Bowl.
Princeton and Navy have taken
whippings, but any game between them
Is attractive, no matter what they may
have failed to accomplish against other
schools. The contest is fast becoming
one of those annual affairs that are
looked forward to with earnestnesS by
both schools and much "the" game
to attend as some of the other big
games in which old rivalries are the
main attraction.
Big Game at Pittsburgh.
At any rate, Yale, Harvard and
Princeton hold the center of the stage
this week. No other contests offer as
much that Is so generally attractive.
However, from a strictly foot ball view
point, the game in Pittsburgh between
Notre Dame and Pitt may develop bet
ter foot ball than will be seen in
either of the games Yale, Harvard or
Princeton is to play. Notre Danes
victory over Carnegie Tech shows the
