Il a fair comparison between
Yale and Harvard. Yale is
to meet an Army eleven raging to
atone for what generally was con-
Sidered an unexpected defeat by
the Crimson. Certainly the Army
coaches had no idea of losing, else
they would never have taken out
several of their best players. The
Soldiers will go down to New
Haven with BLOOD in their eyes,"
and if they are not getting set
this week to make up for their de-
feat by Harvard then conditions
at West Point are different from
what they usually are after a de-
feat of that kind.
Just how strong Yale Is right now Is
matter OF opinion only and wide di-
vergence of opinion, at that Following
the game with Georgia it was felt that
the Dark Blue was weak, but the vic
tory over Chicago by a wide margin
certainly must have dispelled that IDEA
to a large extent. Chicago played Mich
igan through a game in which Mich
igan was hard put to win, yet Yale
wiped up Chicago apparently without
very much difficulty.
Following the Georgia game, almost
anybody would have picked Army to
win. and with Army defeated last week
and anxious to atone for that defeat.
it would not be wholly unintelligent still
to favor the Soldiers. However Yale is
just about as anxious as any other
school to rebuild its foot ball prestige,
and, with the Chicago victory to give it
confidence, may do lot Of things
against Army that the Army does not
expect. Probably the Yale-Army game
offers greater opportunity for conjecture
as to the outcome than any other sched-
uled this week. From one side of the
picture it seems that Yale is in a tough
spot and that Army should get away
with the long end OF the score. From
the other one may easily feel that Yale
| is ready to send Army back 10 West
Point defeated for tbs second time in
consecutive weeks by members of the
big three
WHILE Yale is playing Army. Prince
w ton will be meeting Navy. Like
Army and Yale. both Princeton
and Navy have been defeated, but still
/ there is very real interest in the con-
/ test.
1t is the sincere belief of people well
acquainted with foot ball squads and
| what they ought to accomplish that
| both Navy and Princeton are far
stronger than they have shown so far
| this year and that they may come
through at any time to play wonderful
foot ball ...
If this is true it is more than pos
sible that both Princeton and Navy may
find themselves and put up one of the
best games of the season.
THE fur is pretty sure to fly at Pitts
i burgh when Notre Dame meets
University Of Pittsburgh. Two
Pittsburgh people that Pittsburgh was
a stronger team than Notre Dame, and
there was much controversy as to the
comparative merits of the two elevens-
that is, there was until Pitt played that
disastrous post-season game out on the
Pacific Coast
Last season Notre Dame beat Pitts
burgh. 35 to 10, in what was said to be
one of the widest games ever played.
Notre Dame seems to have an eleven
fully as strong as that of last year,
while Pitt unquestionably is in just
about as good position as any other
university to put up fine fight against
Notre Dame.
