N YEW YORK, November IA
N The Yale-Harvard game,
4 since time immemoriaf the
standard by which the
"bigness" of all big foot ball
games is judged, stands at. the
head of a small but very select
list of gridiron "naturals" this
week.
ONCE more than two dozen Eastern
- colleges have ended their seasons
and another dozen or more remain
idle this week in preparation for
Thanksgiving battles, the schedule Is
shorter than usual. But nearly every
game listed is good enough to make up
for the absence Of one Of the missing
teams.
Along with the Yale Harvard strug-
gle, the fifty-first of the rivalry that
is surpassed in age only by the Yale
Princeton series, there are the meet
ings of Lafayette and Lehigh, who have
played more games than any pair OF
foot ball enemies in the country, al
though they haven't spent so many
Georgetown -Bucknell, couple of other
rivalrieS of historic Importance, and
such geographical "naturals" as Pitts
burgh-Carnegie, Temple Villanova, Bos-
ton College Boston University and West
Virginia Davis and Elkins.
CINCE 1875, Yale and Harvard seldom
- if ever have failed to pack plenty
of interest into their games, and
there seems little likelihood that they
will fail this year. Both teams have
had ups and downs, Yale going through
four games before it won one and Har-
ward taking two trimmings in a row
from Brown and Army after a. highly
Rrcmising start. They appear evenly
matched now.
The contestants in the other big
games appear almost as well matched
and the scores Of last years games
most of them decided by two touch
down margins. show how. they usually
scrap.
The weeks intersectional interest for
the East Is centered mainly about the
Notre Dame-Navy game at Cleveland.
On the records, Notre Dame looks an
easy winner The Irish have lost only
to Pittsburgh this season while Navy
was pushed around baby early In the
41AACN1oSs Ndfy 4CNCA Altao
bsaten Notre Dame. But the Midship-
men always are slow starters and their
recent improvement indicates they will
be ready to put up fight.
Fordhan1, victorious over enc West
Coast team. st. Mary's, faces another,
oregon State, in the next best intersec-
tional game on the slate. Washington
and Jefferson travels to Milwaukee to
play Marquette, and West Liberty Of
West Virginia faces Cedarville from
Ohio.
A RMY is one of the few teams that
IA are considered strong favorites for
this weeks games, facing West Vir-
ginia Wesleyan, but the Bobcats victory
over Georgetown makes it appear that
the Cadets will find 1t a stiff "breather."
Holy Gross also is favored over Man
haitian and Rutgers over Springfield,
although the games may be close.
Waynesburg which shares with the
Eastern leaders Colgate and Brown, the
honor Of being unbeateen and united so
far, faces about its toughest rival of the
season, New River State of West Viz
ginia. Brown and Colgate carry over
their clean records until Thanksgiving
day. when they clash in decisive
battle.
6usquehanna, in the undefeated but
tied class along with Pitt and Temple,
has good chance Of carrying through
to the finish as 1t meets Juniata in its
closing game.
