NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Stlll jlttery
from last weeks debacle, a score of
important football teams pick up
their gridiron tools tomorrow and
move into new fields, with several
of last Saturdays survivors having
an excellent prospect Of being plant
ed in Boot Hall before the sun sets.
The two principal targets and pos
sible victims of hangovers from last
week will be Pitt Panthers and
Stanford on the Pacific coast. Pitt,
unbeaten this year, entertains
highly-irked collection of young men
from Southern California, who were
plastered last week by Washington
State in the worst beating they have
suffered since the late Knute
Rockne's last great team knocked
them off, 28-0. in 1880.
Northwestern, beaten last week,
invades Stanford stadium at Palo
Alto, thirsty for some sort of redress
of their grievances. The Cards, al
though tied by Santa Clara, have
not been beaten this year and are
favored to win.
Temple Cunning for !. u.
Two beaten Giants clash in the
midWeSt-Purdue and Notre Dame.
They were two of the most emf
nent victims of last weeks tor
nado. Indiana, victim of Ohio
States ponderous cruSher, leaves
Big Ten environs for Philadelphia
where they try out Pop Warmers
tricky eleven at Temple.
This tilt will be the Old Fox
ordeal by fire as far as Temple is
concerned; he has had a year to
build and apparently some sturdy
stock with which to manufacture
a football team. A win over Indiana
will establish Temple definitely in
national football.
Only two games affect Big Ten
standings-Chicago and Michigan,
and illinois and Ohio State. The
Wolverines, although upset last
week in another of the upheavals,
should take the Maroons and the
Buckeyes ought to wrap up Bob
Zuppke's Illini.
Oregon and Washington clash
in the major Pacific Coast Con-
ference game, with the Webfooters,
co-champions last year with STAN
ford and U. S. c.. expected to
win. U. S. L. A. meets Montana
in a breather. California will
tackle what should be a setup-
Alonzo Stages little College of the
Pacific, but Pacific held Troy to
60 win and coast fans expect
anything.
Important Southern Tits
In the south five Southeastern
Conference games are on tap. Ala
bama State, champion last year,
meets Mississippi State after an
easy one with Sewanee last week.
louisiana, tied by Southern Method
ist in an excursion outside the Cir
cult, comes back for a league meet
ing with Alabama Poly. Tulane
meets Florida, Tennessee and old
Miss" collide, while Georgia Tech
tackles Duke, champion of the
Southern Conference. Georgia also
crossed the line to play North Caro-
lima.
Vanderbilt moves into Cincinnati
for a night game.
Arkansas, southwestern cham
pions, will tangle with Baylor, the
runner-up last year, in the big con-
ference game in that circuit. Texas
Christian plays Tulsa, Texas takes
on the Oklahoma Sooners and
Texas A. and M meets Centenary,
one of last seasons unbeaten.
Southern Methodist and Rice,
both with ties against Louisiana
State. meet in one of the outstand-
ing games of the southwest. Rice,
due to its unexpected victory over
Purdue, is favored.
Army to Meet Drake
In the east Army entertains
Drake in the highlight game of the
day. Yale, stung by its Columbia
defeat, will meet Pennsylvania at
New Haven for the first time in ten
years. Penn is likewise stung by
the recollection of the TO win
scored by little Ursinus last week.
Navy plays Maryland, Cornell and
Syracuse collide at Ithaca, Harvard
takes on doubtful victim in Brown,
while Dartmouth meets Maine IN
other eastern attractions. In New
York, ColumbiaS Rose Bowl Lions
will chew on Virginia Military in
stitute, New York U. will take on
what may prove a tartar in West
Virginia Wesleyan and Manhattan
plays Georgetown in Brooklyn.
