Pittsburgh eleven.
Locally, that colorful band of
gridiron warriors, the Quantico
Marines, entertain the Stalwarts
of Davis -Elkins College. This con-
test, to be witnessed by one of the
largest crowds of the season,
brings together two evenly
matched elevens which should un-
ravel real battle.
A number of U. S. Marines, re-
tired and in service, will be on
hand to whoop it up for Andy
zeher, George Robertson, Duke"
Dupler and Jim Grove, who did
not need to go to college to be-
come great football players.
This foursome comprises what
you might call born and raised
Marines" They like tough going,
and the tougher the better. Those
who really love football will see
that game played today as it
should be played-by Zeher,
Robertson, Dupler and Grove.
V. M. i. and Old Line
In Richmond, Va, this aftc--
r1-7, in the municipal stadium.
will be played a contest which
probabl..- will prove as exciting
and as bitterly contested as any
in the nation. The Keydets of
Virginia Military Institute clash
with the Old Liners of University
Of Maryland.
Dartmouth, with a superior
Green team, moves on New Haven
in another effort to overcome the
Yale Bowl jinx. Several times,
in seasons past and gone, Dart
mouth teams, rated four and five
touchdowns better than Yale,
have either been tied or defeated
by the Big Blue eleven. Yale
seems to have the Indian sign on
the Indians from the hills of Han
over, and many there are who to-
day will bet their Shekels on
Yale, having no further logic in
mind than the unique history of
the Yale-Dartmouth football Sc
ries.
New York University's Violent
VioletS once again are put to a
severe test. Purdue, hard-r1ln-
ming, hard-hitting, hard-block. ng
outfit, meets N. Y. U. To date,
the Boilermakers have lacked a
scoring punch, but hopes are held
by Big Ten admirers that Purdue
will develop same by game time
today. Purdue is favored to win,
on the theory that the men from
Indiana are just about as strong
as Colgate, which trounced N.
Y. U.
From a technical viewpoint, to-
days big games, including those
listed as most important, are ex-
pected to bring out even more
clearly than in these past four
weeks the fact that the truly
great teams of today are resort
ing more and more to power as
the deciding factor in their at
tacks.
Michigan Shrewd
Michigan, who plays Princeton,
of course, still insists (and log
ically) that the other team makes
mistakes. The Wolverines play
conservative defensive football un-
til such time as the opposition
makes an error. Then Michigan
SwoopS in, takes advantage of the
error, repeats the process, gets a
two touchdown lead, and coasts
to victory. Probably no team in
football enters a contest with
such clear strategy as does Mich
igan. A standard Michigan team
is a challenger for the champion
ship of any league, including the
National.
Those teams with unorthodox
methods of attack run into tough
going from here home. One may
expect the unorthodox elevens
to fall by the wayside from now
until the season closes.
Teams of the East, South, Mid
west, Southwest, and Far West
sections today knuckle down to
the business Of continuing victo-
r1ouS or satVaging seasons which
thus far have been on the wrong
side of the ledger. It seems now
that, as usual, the last half of
the season will prove more bril-
liant than the last half of last
years campaign.
