IN LEADING CLASH
Few Games of Note in East.

BY H. c. BYRD.

HRACT1CALLY every big
- school in the South is
i scheduled to send its foot
ball team into formal play
Saturday, some in the sternest
kind of competition. Between
strictly Southern universities, the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute
University of Tennessee game
heads the list. but other con-
tests may develop just as i'm
portant results. In no other Sec
ton, either, is the schedule OF
games so general.
Tennessee has been picked as pos
sibly the leading team of the South
this year, but if it is to hold such C
favored position it must whip Vir-
ginia's Tech, and not even Tennessee
seems to be especially confident that
will be done.
On the other hand the Blacks
burg school has an opportunity
to build for itself a real place in
the foot ball sun, an opportunity
such as has not been offered
many times.
Georgia and North Carolina State
meet at Athens and anything may
result from such a contest. although
Georgia ought to win. Georgia Tecn
entertains Clemson, another Southern
Conference opponent, and should keep
at Atlanta whatever laurels are at
tached to victory in this particular
contest. Kentucky faces Sewanee and
Duke takes on Virginia Military In
stitute Kentucky may get fair bat
tie, but unless " M I. is much better
than last week it can hardly hope for
much at Duke.
Vanderbilt jumps across the Mis-
sissippi to play Oklahoma, while Tu-
lane opens its season with Texas A
and M Both Tulane and Vanderbilt
seem to be in a fair way to get al,
the competition they want.
Louisiana State, looking ahead
to uhdt it feels should be the best
season in its history, is set to open
its schedule nth Rice institute,
far from mean opponent.
In this immediate section. outside
the games of local elevens, Washing
ton and Lee plays Roanoke. the team
defeated last week by Virginia Tecl
and Virginia entertains Randolph
Macon, whipped last week by William
and Mary Virginia probably has been
putting in some good licks this week
and considerable improvement should
be noted in its performance, compared
to last Saturday against Hampden-
Sidney. North Carolina has Davidson
College as its opponent to open. It's
schedule. Sometimes Davidson mas
proved hard for North Carolina 70
crack.
DERHAPS the greatest foot ball in
terest in the East should lie in the
opening OF the Navy and Army
schedules, Inc form5r against William
and Mary and the Iatte- With Mercer
University. Bo,h the big service schools
snould win, but unless william and
Mary IS in remarkably good shape ana
has a much stronger eleven than 1T has
claimed so far, then it had better look
to its laurelS.
Navy is anxious to avenge that
6-to-O defeat it suffered last sea
son at the hands of the Williams
burg Indians
Mercer, it is said, from reports re-
ceived from Georgia, may give Army
something of a rub, although, II q pre-
diction were to be made, It would be
that Army would win.
~ORNELL, Dartmouth and Pitts
burgh are the only ones Of the
stronger schools in the North that
will open their schedules Saturday. All
have comparatively easy contests. Dart
mouth has as its opponent Norwich
University, and when Norwich did any
thing other than get whipped by Dart
mouth is hardly within the memory OF
man Gil Dobie's Cornell men should
beat St Lawrence about as much as
they please.
The game Pittsburgh is to play
Is indicative of some OF the great
changes taking place in foot ball.
It's opponent is to be washington and
jefferson, for many years Pitts out
standing rival in an annual Thanks
giving day game. Now Pitt opens its
season with that school, which seems
from a standpoint Of foot ball to have
passed its zenith.
Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota are
the Western Conference members to
open their seasons. Illinois may get
stiff opposition from Drake, but Indiana
ought to beat Miami and Minnesota de-
feat South Dakota without much
trouble.
Possibly Stanford's game with Univer-
. sity of California at Los Angeles may
: develop into the best of the week or

thing of a surprise in store for the

good deal of material at Temple. while
South Carolina, from all reports, has
the best team In its history.
Warner probably is working his
men hard to get them in shape
to trim the South Carolinians.
1t would not set very well for him
to lose his first game in his new berth
On the other hand it should mean a
great Pop" into camp. 1t is not sc
much Temple opposing teams will figure
on beating this Fall as it Is Warner.
Every report that gets around seems
to have a background OF Navy success
for the current season. Not only dc
most Navy supporters, and many who
are not, feel that Navy should wiz
easily from William and Mary, but thai
its foot ball fortunes are SO much or
