BIG CHANCE.
FACES EAST
ELEVENS
By COPELAND C. BURG.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-EaSCern
football, which for some years has
been as low as a moon going over
a mountain, gets a chance to do
things in a big way this week.
Atlantic seaboard teams are in
a spot Saturday where at least
they seriously threaten some Of
the big western elevents.
Notre Dame is coming to Pitts
burgh to play Jock Sutherland's
Panthers, Purdue tangles with
Carnegie Tech and Wisconsin in
vades Philadelphia to try out
Pennsylvania. Marquette of Mil
waukee will play Boston college in
Back Bay and Drake of Iowa will
be in New York to shake hands
with the Fordham Rams, Texas
comes North to face Eddie CaSey's
great Harvard machine.
The Notre Dame Pittsburgh and
Harvard Texas battles stack up as
the two big intersectional fights
Of Saturday, and only an even
break for the East appears likely
in the two classics. Pittsburgh is
given only an outside chance to
win from the Irish, while Harvard
is rated considerably superior to
the Southern invaders.
Badgers Making History
Penn is reported to be vastly
improved but they were reported

at about this time and cracked
up fearfully before Wisconsin.
The Badgers are making his.

eleven playing in this section
dating way back to 1899 when
Yale turned back the Western
ers at New Haven.
Last season the 81 to 0 beating
given Penn by Wisconsin resulted
in a complete revamping Of the
football system at Philadelphia.
Graupner, Penn's quarter, is Grip
pied and if he plays won't be
quite fit, leaving the field clear
to Carl Perina, plunging back, to
snatch the glory, if any. for the
Pennsylvanians.
Wisconsin beat Purdue and
Carnegie Tech was flipped by w.
and j, The SkiboS have come
along swiftly since their upset
and should trounce the mid
Westerners, who may have been
overrated considerably.
Boston College actually doesn't
rate as good as Marquette this
season but smarting under their
thrashings they may turn this
week and surprise with a winning
fight.
Drake has no chance against
Fordham.
Irish Should Win
Harvard's victory over Army
last week places the Crimson q
decided choice over Texas. The
invaders have an average back
field and line but no Barry Wood
and an attack that to date has
lacked the brilliance and variety
of the Cambridge boys.
At Pittsburgh some experts
don't see much but NOtre
Dame. Early i'm the season the
Panthers were listed as likely
to be the first eleven to upset
the South Bend RamblerS but
NOtre Danes tie scrap against
the extremely powerful North
western crew and the exhibition
Of plays against Drake have
drawn the wise men away from
Pittsburgh.
If the Irish win, however, it
won't be even slightly lopsided.
Pittsburgh has scored lat points
against four opponents this sea-
son and has yet to be scored on.
The record shows 81 to 0 win
over Miami of Ohio. a 20 to 0
beating Of Iowa, a 81 to 0 blast
ing Of West Virginia and a 80 to
0 crushing Of Western Reserve.
On paper Pitt is better than
Notre Dame.
CHINESE SPEEDBOATER
Henry Lee. Of Fresno, Calf, is
the only Chinese speedboat driver
in the game. He has won 10
prizes in as many regattas during
