can win, and 1t seems to stand a fair
chance TO do just that. Coach Tom
Mills will take three elevens to New
York, leaving tomorrow. The SQUAD
is to return Sunday.
Mills thinks his men have q good
chance and did not hesitate to say
50 this morning
II believe we have q good chance to
win from N. Y. u. If we play our best
foot ball. said Mills, and we are sure
going to New York with that idea in
mind. New York University is stronger
now than 1t was last season, but so are
we, considerably so. Our play last week
was disappointing In some particulars,
but as a whole the game we put up
was very satisfactory. Anyway, it had
very satisfactory ending, and, after
all, l suppose it is the result that
counts"
VIRGINIA and Virginia Military In
v stitute play this week despite the
fact they meet each other next
Thursday at Charlottesville in the dedi-
cation Of the new stadium at Virginia
Virginia meets Sewanee and v. M I.
plays Citadel. Fortunately for both
schools neither Sewanee nor Citadel, &C.
cording to past indications, Is UP to
its usual standard. There Is q strong
probability that both Virginia and
V. M. I. will be victors this week, which
should make their game next Thurs
day even more attractive. Virginia ex-
poets by far the biggest crowd in its
history.
University Of Minnesota takes an ex-
ceptlonal journey for so early In the
season, being listed to go to the Pa
ciflc Coat to play Stanford. The
Gophers have not been in the habit
OF making trips of this length at any
time during the season and it may be
that this marks change in policy at
the Minneapolis institution.
Last year Pittsburgh took the meas
ure OF West Virginia and it expects
10 repeat Saturday. The Pitt-West
Virginia contest is one of the most
popular games in the Western Pennsyl-
vania section, and it always is well
played, no matter which team wins.
nROBABLY the two strongest teams
L meeting in any game will be North
western and Notre Dame at Chi
cago. This should be one Of the great
est contests Of the whole season. Right
now 1t is doubtful if there are two
stronger elevens anywhere, and the type
OF foot ball they play ought to stand
out at any time and any place. 1t will
be Notre Danes first test before a
real strong foe since Rockne's death.
University Of Chicago goes to Ann
Arbor to meet Michigan and Illinois to
Lafayette for game with Purdue.
Chicago ts not likely to defeat the
wolverines unless it is stronger than it
has been IN recent years. Purdue, 1t is
said, has a powerful combination and a
chance to beat Zuppke's eleven.
While Yale is meeting Georgia at
New Haven, Princeton will be tackline
Brown at Princeton and Harvard work.
ing out against New Hampshire at
Cambridge. Princeton will not have its
hands so full as Yale. but it may run
into more trouble than it anticipates.
Harvard ought to whip New Hampshire
without too much difficulty.
For the second consecutive week
Florida tackles North Carolina school.
Last week it wiped up the North Caro-
lima State College, and this week will
try to repeat the dose against North
Carolina University. The Tarheels are
likely to prove much more of a STUN
bling block than Bachman's team found
North Carolina State to be.
Dartmouth and Holy Cross, Colgate
and Lafayette are likely to put up good
foot ball games. Either of these con-
tests ought to be well worth seeing.
Bill Ingram's California eleven may
have troubles again this week. It meets
the Olympic Club Of San Francisco, and
that team tied Stanford. California
may consider itself lucky If It gets away
with the long end Of the count.
