Pittsburgh, Nov. 15.-Late Novem-
ber football gives US few intersection
al battles, but to make up for this
lack, there are plenty Of outstanding
sectional games. The east leads IN
this respect, Saturday, with our owr
game against Navy at Annapolis Al
one Of the headliners.
Here is q game that Is tossup
We beat Navy last fall, and under
ordinary circumstances, would be
favored to repeat. But circumstances
this year are not ordinary. The Mid
dies have been playing the most SEN
sational football in the east, and my
scouts tell me their aerial game Is to
be greatly feared. =.
Our power attack will have to
score frequently to beat Navy and
Buzz BorrieS.
Another game worthy Of attention
Is the Syracuse Colgate fray. Botn
teams are unbeaten by eastern foes
and both have great attacks. I think
Colgate will be little too fast hand
ling the ball for the Orangemen.
In other eastern trays, Princeton,
Of course, must be favored over Yale,
Duuuesne should take Carnegie Teen
Columbia should have an easy time
with Penn, and Holy Cross may be
expected to overpower Brown.
The one intersectional game In the
east should be a corker. It brings to-
Rether Purdue and Fordham at New
York. The contest is . tough one 70
pick, and it is my hunch that the
breaks will decide it-and perhaps In
favor Of the Boilermakers.
South Takes It Easy
There is little cause for alarm
among the leaders in the south. Ala
bama will have no trouble in hand
ing Georgia Tech another defeat. Tu'

comparatively easy hurdles In Ken.

Ia other southern games, DUKE
and North Carolina meet in . game
that will be the closest in years, bu
one in which the Blue Devils mus
be given the edge. Tennessee Is

The middle vests big game will bl
