YALE-COLUMB|A
BATTLE BEST
IN EAST
CONTINUED from Page ~


Va, for a Southern Conference
game with washington and Lee.
The Yale-Columbia battle at
New Haven looms as outstanding
in the East. although excellent
is offered by Chick
Meehan's Mani attain Jaspers
playing Kansas State in EbbetS
Field, Brooklyn.
Although it has not been bally-
hooed to any extent, the Cornell
Richmond game appears tight,
with Richmond actually accorded
a great chance to trip the Big
Red team.
Still another outstanding game,
one attracting unusual interest
this year, is the Villanova-West-
ern Maryland game. This contest
brings the brains Of two of Amer
ica's greatest CO aches - Harry
Stuhldreher and Dick Harlow
into competition.
Irish Meet Texans
Notre Danes first appearance
this year, naturally, is of great
interest. The Ramblers clash
with University of Texas. A
few miles away, Purdue meets
Rice, another eleven from Texas.
The Northwestern owa and
Ohio State-Indiana battles top
the games involving Big Ten
teams. Although the Michigan
Michigan State, Minnesota-Ne-
braska and Observation-Disclosures
games are not far behind.
Down South, the top game in
wolves Georgia Tech and Van
derbilt, but the North Carolina
Tennessee, Duke-C e m SON and
Louisiana State-Southern Metho,
dist games all appear extraordi-
narily interesting.
Other games today which are
attracting more than the usual
notices include: oregon State VS.,
Stanford, Alabama VS.. Sewanee,
California VS.. St. Mary's, Gin.
cinnati VS.. Kentucky, Georgia VS.,
Furman, Oglethorpe VS.. The Cita'
del, South Carolina VS.. v. M. 1.
Today's Virginia-NaVy game
should draw no less than 10000
into Griffith Stadium. Apparent.
ly, if one judges by the advance
ticket sale, the false impression
that Virginia stands no chance
against Navy has been corrected
Further, the announcement that
this years Virginia team is
reminiscent of the old-time Vir'
GINA teams, which entered games
determined to win, has caused
old Virginia men to sit up and
take notice.
Popular in ID. C.
Virginia always has been a pop
ular team in Washington. The
fact that Head Coach Gus Tebel1
has promised to shoot the works
today against Navy lends further
attractiveness to the game, since
Virginia has a wide-open offenSe
designed to sink Navy. This of
tense, which includes latera
passes galore and lateral passes
after forward pass, makes for sen
sational play.
Navy is favored, but the game
is expected to develop into bat
tie, with the Cavaliers losing by 6
single touchdown or scoring play
C. U. has a tough assignment
on its hands, what with Notrt
Danes favored son, Marty Brill
all set to unload a bag Of tricks
on Arthur Dutch" Bergman
Cardinals.
LaSalle is a great deal stronger
than it was last year. Brill ha'
planned for a week now to sur
prise C. U. This game looks ik(
a standout, but c. U. is favored tt
come along rapidly toward thu
end of the contest and win by
fair margin.
Once again this weekend
students of football will watch
for three things: the effect of tn
new forward pass rule; the effec
of the new ball on the game; and
the increased use Of the latera
pass as a weapon Of attack.
