PRINCETON LACKS
GR|D|RON F|NESSE
Apt to Find Cornell Too
Clever, Rugged-Pitt Seen
Victor Over Army.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n YEW YORK. October 15.-Once
again Princeton faces q foot
Y ball game for which presumably
she Is not ready. Which is the
same as saying that Cornell should win
today's game and probably will win it.
She will surely win it If Princeton
|arranges her defense. as in the Colum-
bia game-a seven-man line with two
backs close to the forwards. Only the
grace of heaven, or Lou Lttle's mag
nanimity, or-least possible of all
Montgomery's lack of strategical sense,
prevented Columbia from making not
20 but more nearly go points through
the air
The theory is that Fritz Crisler was
willing enough to have Columbia score
all she wished that way, but was bound
team should not at the very outset re-
ceive the moral handicap of having
backs storm through its line. If so, 1t
was by no means bad Judgment
ing that Columbia made her three
touchdowns through the line. But these
were from short distances and were the
result of cunning rather than power.
The Tigers will meet both these quail
ties today.
nITTSBURGH-ARMY. Every one ex-
I poets Pitt to trample the Cadets
under foot. But do not be too sure
that the Panthers will have 1t all their
own way. The Feline-touted now as
the coming Champion OF the gridiron-
may run against something tough up
there in Niche Stadium On COM
parative form the game must be award
ed to Pitt. but the struggle probably
will be hard fought and Army might
spring a surprise.
MINNESOTA-NEBRASKA. Two giants
in a struggle under which the earth
should tremble The Mortimer are
picked as winners.
ALABAMA = TENNESSEE. What
battle this will bel Both elevens are
equipped for victory. but an inclina-
tion to view the rising Crimson tide
with favor cannot be resisted because
Frank Thomas Notre Dame stuff is
clicking at Tuscaloosa.
TULANE VANDERBILT Another
stirring prospect. Both are superbly
manned; both have been taught by
skilled and resourceful coaches. But
the sterner will to win lies, we think.
in the Greenietalso greater power
and versatility.
DRAKE is going to have a dismaying
u afternoon against Notre Dame.
Baylor should defeat Arkansas.
Georgia Tech will meet Auburn and
gesture of q few years sgo in dropping
Poly from the preferred Thanksgiving
day position at Grant Field.
Brigham Young is not even forlorn
hope against the perennial Rocky
Mountain champion, Utah. Brown fig
ures to lose to Yale by scanty margin.
California, now she is under headway.
will dispose of Washington State. Car
negie Tech gets the call over w. and j.
Colgate should beat Lafayette. Colum-
bia should have spirited but ineffective
opposition from Virginia.
Dartmouth is expected to fall before
Pennsylvania rugged onslaught. Duke
is figured to play a losing, II other
wise, nip-and-tuck game against Mary
land. Georgetown probably will lose to
New York University after a hard
struggle.
CEORGIA has the call over North
" Carolina. Holy Gross is a slight
favorite over Detroit. Illinois Is
hardly strong enough for even a COM
paratively poor Northwestern team. In
diana will beat Iowa Kansas is picked
over Iowa State Kansas State over
Missouri, where Notre Dame stuff looks
halt and lame.
Louisiana State will have a romp
with Mississippi State. Michigan is
picked to win the Ohio State classic,
the Buckeyes having fallen below ex-
pectations Okleh homa and Texas is
a hard one to pick. But we like Texas.
oregon should beat the developing
U. C. L. A. system. Purdue will beat
Wisconsin. Rice ought to beat Loyola
at New Orleans after a closer battle
than many think possible. Syracuse
and Southern Methodist are both be-
low par, but the home team, Syracuse,
is picked. Texas Christian is the prob
able winner over Texas A. and M.
