in Quaker Town in football.
In those days-before Michigan
ruled the conquered West-Yale
and Penn were members of the big
four. But Eli was the biggest Of
them all.
A pleasant surprise, a gallant,
sporting gesture is to be made to
Penn. Edgar M. Church of Penn,
'89, leader of the team that bowed
before the superior might of Eli,
will greet the Yale players today,
shake hands with them and wish
in all sincerity that the better
team wins.
Nebraska Meets Minnesota
Then Captain Church and those
members of his team who greet
the Eli will retire to the stands
and pray fervently that Penn will
prove the better team.
Beyond the Eastern frontiers,
Nebraska plays Minnesota at Lin
coin, Neb. Out of this swirl Of
passes and punts, out of the
grind of buck and SlantS and
sweeps may come the national
football champion and Rose Bowl
contender.
Minnesota, which swept the
Western Conference last year and
was generally regarded as the
greatest team in the land, is not
as great as it was last year. 1t
still, however, is plenty strong.
Nebraska, its attack spear
headed by the mighty Lloyd
Cardwell, is already hailed as
the most powerful outfit in the
Missouri Valley Conference, and
one of the outstanding teams
of the country.
Daring Style Of Play
It's style of play is breath.
taking in its daring. Not only is
the team equipped with terrific
power, out its deftl.ess ard pro-
ficiency in open play are bril-
| liant.
Taking equal rank with that
game is the intersectional clash
between Colgate's Red Raiders,
beaten only by Ohio State last
year, and University of Iowa, out
in Iowa City.
Alabama's Crimson Tide, which
stunned the fans of this city last
week with its power and verSatil-
ity, will meet Mississippi State,
which is now coached by Major
Ralph Sasse, former head coach
of West Point. SasSe is assisted
by Capt. Johnny Stokes, one Of the
outstanding line coaches in Army
history.
Navy IdIeS Today
Army, incidentally, plays GettyS-
burg, at West Point. Navy, which
defeated Virginia on Thursday, is
out of action today.
There's another interSectional
battle Oh the card for today which
intrigues football fans no little.
In New York city, Purdue's Boiler
makers, under the coaching Of
Noble Kizer, will attempt to hurl
back the charges Of the Fordham
Ram.
Fordham is coached by Sleepy"
Jim Crowley. Crowley, one Of the
Four Horsemen of Notre Dame,
ran to glory behind the Stalwart
blocking of Kizer in the days when
Rockne and the Rambling
Romans were at their peak.
Fordham has a slight edge ac-
cording to the dopesters, but you
never can tell. The teams are
about evenly matched.
Old Rivals in Battle
Old rivals meet in Central New
York this afternoon when Cornell
and Syracuse clash in Archbold
Stadium. The chimes should ring
tonight in Grouse Colleges towers,
proclaiming the glad tidings of
Orange victory.
There's always interest and al
ways glamor about the meeting Of
Notre Dame and any rival, and
today the Rambling Romans clash
with the Badgers of Wisconsin.
Notre Dame should win, for it
would seem that all is not har-
mony and brotherly love in the
camp of the Badgers.
The game between North Caro-
lima and Maryland should be a
sizzler from start to finish. Just
last week the football world
blinked a bit and wondered what
was going to happen when North
Carolina ran riot over Tennessee,
scoring 81 points in the last
period to hack out a 38-to-13
victory.
Three Line Changes
Jack Faber and Frank DobSon
of the Terps are not hiding the
fact that their team has a chance
to beat the Tarheels, which is a
refreshing change from the hack
neyed bear stories that usually
eminate from football camps the
day before a major game.
It is most unusual to find any
expression of confidence when
the Terps' lineup will be changed
in three positions. Buscher will
be stationed at right end; Jack
Gormley, a smashing blocking
back, will be at his regular post
in the backfield, and Ellinger will
be at right halfback.
When the ball is in scoring
position, however, watch for the
colorful smashing play of Johnny
Stonebraker, the passing star,
and the meteoric Bill Guckeyson,
one of the Slickest running backs
