PROGRAM FEATURE

Invasion of EaSt-Major
Loop Scraps Due.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,

N other heavy listing of in
i Y tersectional games over
shadows purely domestic
arguments on this weeks foot ball
slate. And once more the East
gets more than its share OF in
terSectional combat, with games
involving seven major teams.
Notre Dame, after its smashing
25-l2 victory over Pittsburgh,
comes East for a tuSsle with Car
negie Tech at Pittsburgh, and
Rambler victory seems a foregone
conclusion. Much the same situa-
ton prevailed, however, before
the 1925 game between these two
rivals and Carnegie swept the
Ramblers off their fest, 1870. Per-
haps the Tartans expect another
near miracle.
other invaders of the East include
Michigan of the Big Ten, oregon of the
Pacific Coast Conference, Colorado Col
lege from the Rocky Mountain Confer
ence. Virginia from the Southern Con-
ference. Kansas State from the Big Six
and Mississippi College from the South
intercollegiate A. A.
Michigan looms as an almost certain
winner over Princeton, and Kansas
State should be able TO handle West
Virginia comfortably, but the others
may run into rough Shedding.
Colorado College. with one of the
weakest teams in years has small hopes
of coping with the Army; Virginia
~ a oil nVsfl.A
struggle to Barry Wood and Harvard.
and Mississippi College should not be
formidable for Colgate oregon prob
ably will give New York University
trouble, but the Violets appear winners
in advance calculations, not only be-
cause of their own strong team. but
because the Far Westerners have not
been impressive this year
The Midwest boasts all the other out
standing interSectional games of the
week end. with Syracuse travelling to
East Lansing for game with Michigan
State and George Washington playing
Iowa at Iowa City on Saturday On
Friday night the University of Mis-
sissippi tackles Marquette at Milwau-
kee Loyola of New Orleans plays De-
troit at Detroit, and the Haskell Indians
meet Creighton at Omaha.
A s for the various big time" confer
IA eEcee. here's the way their cham
pionship races line up at present:
Z Southern Conference. Georgia, Tu
lane and Tennessee still lead the pa
5rade and apparently no other outfit
possibly can win the title. Georgia
plays Florida in the outstanding game
this week. while Tulane and Tennessee
should win fairly easily from the Mis-
stssippi Aggies and Duke. respectively.
Five other conference games are on

Pacific Coast; Southern Califor-
mia, the leader and outstanding favorite

COUTHWEST The most important
- contest brings together Southern
Methodist and Texas. Southern
Methodist Is the current leader with
two wins and no losses. Texas, de-

add another against Arkansas. Texas

conference games. Montana State
meets Montana OF the Pacific Coast
Conference
Big Ten: Northwestern. the favorite
should win from Illinois easily and Pur-
due looks much strong than Chicago.
Wisconsin Minnesota and Ohio State

East Tradition battles between Dart
mouth and Yale: Cornell and Column
