YaIe-Princeton Tilt Tops
Bright Card of Foot
Ball Games.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, November 15.-Al-
N though there were a few inter-
/ sectional games, renewals OF
ancient rivalries provided the
keynote Of today's slate in Eastern
foot ball.
A Princeton eleven, bounced around
unceremoniously all season, hoped to
wind up disheartening season with q
victory over Yale at Princeton.
Harvard entertained Holy Cross.
Dartmouth, tied only by Yale, hoped
to maintain its undefeated stride at
Cornell's expense and Colgate's high
scoring array was favored over Syracuse
Columbia, weakened by the absence OF
Ralph Hewitt, had slight hopes OF
stopping Brown, but New York Uni
versity was favored to beat Georgetown
and gain revenge for reverseS suffered
in 1928 and 1929.
The intersectional list was headed
by the clash of unbeaten Fordham and
the powerful st. Mary's eleven from
Oakland, Calf. Navy drew tough foe
wide for its spectacular passing attack.
Two teams which have had their ups
and downs this season, Penn and
Georgia Tech, were matched at Phila-
delphia, and Villanova faced the fairly
strong Oglethorpe outfit from Atlanta.
Army picked an easier one in
Kentucky Wesleyan.
BALTIMORE, November is Cp.-The
wild passing Mustangs of Southern
Methodist University of Dallas, Tex,
meet the Navy today in the Tars' sec
ond interSectional contest in as many
weeks in the Municipal Stadium.
A partially revamped Middle lineup
will face the Methodists, Joe Tschirgi,
Navy running back, being out of the
battle with an ankle injury sustained
in the Ohio State battle last Saturday.
He was replaced by Johnny Cannon, a
regular halfback last season.
Coach Ray Morrison of S. M. u. was
more concerned over the weather than
anything else. Rain for the last two
days had made the stadium turf soft,
and with rain forecast for the after
noon, his greatest offensive strength,
passing. was threatened.
The game was expected to draw be-
tween 5000 and 10000.
PRINCETON, N. j., November Is
(R1.--A tflrong came to Princeton today
to see the fifty-fourth game between
Yale and Princeton and to bid farewell
to Bill Roper, Princeton's famous coach.
Princeton'S poor record caused most
everybody to expect a walkover for
Yale
After dozen years of coaching
Princeton teams, Roper has decided to
retire ana this game marks the end of
his reign. On him rested one of the
few hopes for Tiger team which has
been beaten by Brown, Cornell, Navy
and Lehigh and tied by Chicago.
The famous Roper inspiration, which
has carried former teams to feats which
seemed beyond their powers, and the
chance that wet field would hamper
the Eli attack alone remained to COM
fort Princeton's supporters. Yale has
been beaten only by Georgia and has
tied Army and Dartmouth.
NEW YORK, November Is UP.-Sliu
Madigan's st. Mary's eleven from Oak
land. Calf, attempts at the Polo
Grounds today to halt the Fordham
Rams, urbeaten and united this season,
Madigan's huskies have lost only one
game In the last two seasons. Fordhani
wound up last season with no defeats
but two ties and has won all its games
so far this campaign. Both teams
stress the defensive side of the game
and each can flash brilliant PASSING
attack when necessary.
