and one between two Mid
die Western elevens, this
week should develop some
of the best foot ball of the year.
And in addition to these, others
are scheduled which should rank
among the seasons topnotch
struggles.
OF the three intersectional
games. as far as the East Is con-
cerned, the battle between Georgia
and Yale will take precedence.
The Southerners go to New Haven
after two straight victories, one
at Athens and the other at New
Haven, to try to wind up its list
of games with the Dark Blue with
another triumph. Georgia, 1t is
understood, is not to be on Yaie'S
schedule next year, and, conSe-
quently, Is all the more ANXIOUS
to win.
Georgia Looks Better.
Considering what happened last week
in the games Georgia and Yale played,
another victory for Georgia would not
be a surprise. Georgia trimmed Viz
ginia Polytechnic Institute 40 to 0.
and the latter is supposed to be excep-
tionally strong this Fall. Yale won
from Maine by three touchdowns. and
nobody, by any stretch Of the imagi-
nation, could class Maine with V. r: l.
In other words in their opening
games Georgia apparently was con-
Siderably stronger than tYale. OF
course, all this may be reversed wnen
the Athens team steps on the feld at
New Haven, but Georgia mas Team o.
veterans, virtually the same eleven
that whipped Yale last year.
Minnesota goes out to the West Coast
to play Stanford, and that should be
Just as good a contest as the one IN
which Georgia meets Yale, although
in this part of the world it will not be
as important. Stanford has had two
tough Saturdays already, having been
tied by the Olympic Club and having
lust whipped Santa Clara by one touch
down. It really is a bit early for
game of this kind, especially when one
considers the distance to be Travelled.
GARNEGIE TECH leaves the Western
PENNSYLVANIA section to play Geor-
eis Tech. at Atlanta. in the first game
in which the Plaid has ever appeared
that far down in Dixie. In fact, Car
negie's excursions below the Mason
Dixon line In any sport have been lew
and far between. Southern people are
anxious for Georgia Tech to win, 10
atone somewhat for the 3l-to-0 defeat
sustained by the Atlanta eleven last
year at Pittsburgh.
Undoubtedly what should be the best
strictly sectional game Is that between
Northwestern University and Notre
Dame at Chicago. Northwestern nearly
always has a powerful and versatile
eleven and against Notre Dame usually
is at its best. Some of the greatest
games PLAYED in recent years nave Deen
between these two universities. In TACT,
his contacts with Northwestern led the
late Knute Rockne to say that DICK
Hanley Northwestern coach, Is the
craftiest man in foot ball.
outside of these games, others are
