teams the country over start down
the home stretch tomorrow, and
many of them have the advantage
of a respite from high pressure
competition.
The outstanding games in the
East will involve Yale and Dart
mouth, Columbia and Cornell,
New York University and oregon,
Brown and Holy Cross, Syracuse
and Michigan State, Michigan and
Princeton, and Pittsburgh and
Penn State. In several instances
undefeated teams will be in action
in these games. Neither Column
bia nor Cornell have been defeated.
New York University, Brown and
Syracuse also are in the unbeaten
class.
Three of these games would
seem to match teams so equal in
playing record and strength that
the game may go to either. While
Yale. for instance, has been
named an outstanding favorite
over Dartmouth, l look for the
Green to play one of it's best
games of the year. Dartmouth
which has had better teams than
the one Stan Yudickey captains
this year, goes into the bowl with
high hopes only to come out most.
chaStened. Yale has beaten bet
ter teams than this big Green
team, with teams potentially not
as strong as this years Eli eleven.
Undoubtedly Yale found the
spark it has been looking for
this season when it came from
behind on Saturday last to tie
Army, Sc. The game looks to
be very much of an even prOpO-
SitiOn.
From the seasons start all in
dications have pointed to Holy
Cross as one of the outstanding
teams of the year. To be sure,
the Crusaders escaped possible
tie with Dartmouth when Bill
Mccall carried back the opening
kickoff to the Holy Cross 2-yard
line. but through that game Holy
Cross played well. A. week ago
it defeated Rutgers, ~ TO o, a
team which the week previously
had been defeated by New York
University, 277.
Edge to Holy Cross
It should be hard game, but
Holy Cross would seem to hold a
slight edge.
The Columbia Cornell game
brings two of the best teams
those universities have had in
recent years into action. A year
ago in an amazing upset Column
bia won and generally has been
favored to repeat. Lou Little has
done a marvellous job with his
Columbia material, but he IS
tackling a good Cornell team, one
that has been rested for two
weeks and has great scoring
power.
If Columbia has an advantage
it lies in the fact that the team
has been tested more severely
than Cornell and has succeeded
| in meeting those tests. A touch
down either way should decloe
it.
Syracuse and Michigan State
should provide one of the
