club in the east. And rightly so, for it was not many years ago that Yale had the best material in the east but, because of a profound inabil- ity to think, usually wound up on the short end of the score when playing team with enough "savvy" Chats New Haven for gumption) to keep moving in the right direc- tion
 Yale quarter-backing was pret- ty awful until Mister Pond and Mister Neale arrived on the scene. Watching a Yale quarterback work always gave one the impression that New Haven field generals were ere ated by hitting 8 slow-thinking guard over the head with a hammer. Hitting a slow thinking guard over the head with hammer twice, in fact.
 And the plays the quarterbacks were given to use weren't much better.
 They were about as subtle as a burlesque, as welly thought out as a six-year-old's treatise on Einstein and his theory.
 Who'll ever forget the strategy which devised the plays which call- ed for Fullback Crowley to run in- terference for Albie Booth? Crowley weighed 200 plus and moved with all the alacrity of poutish water buffalo. Both, a midget with the speed of a greyhound, used to spend the entire afternoon running up Crowley's back in an effort to get past the man assigned to clear his way.
 This year they say it's different. And that the Yales know all the answers and when to give lem. hope so. It will be pleasure to see a Yale team that knows its way about.
 Navy to Win
 Still I like the Navy. Yeah, like the Navy to win. think the sail- ors are very nearly as smart as the Yales, and whole lot tougher. Knute Rockne once said that of all the teams Notre Dame had ever played, Navy's came closer to giv- HE dI1 ~ 1Idu, VIII UT IOSe. Ana that still goes. When Navy is licked it's only because the best it had, every bit of the best it had, wasn't enough. That sort of team takes a lot of licking.
 AS for the rest of the country and we hit 12 out of 13 last week, if you don't mind portion of brag, it looks this way:
 Army over Harvard, Princeton over Penn, Dartmouth over Brown, Duke over Georgia Tech, Rice over Georgia, Alabama over Tennessee, Nebraska over Indiana, Purdue over Chicago, Ohio State over North western, Minnesota over Michigan. Notre Dame over Wisconsin, Mar quette over Kansas State, Texas over Baylor, Southern Methodist over Vanderbilt, Southern Cal over Washington State, Washington over Oregon State, St. Mary's over San Francisco, Utah State over Brigham Young, Utah over Denver, and head over heels.

New England's leading bowlers will gather at Waterbury on Satur- day, November 7th to take part in the Second Annual Brass City Sweepstakes.
 As a competition it ranks second only in importance to the Eastern Sweepstakes and is one of the twelve sanctioned events for the 1886 season in Connecticut. It offers the competing bowlers an oppor- tunity to be considered by the Na- tional Duckpin Bowling Congress in the annual ratings.
 Mike Bogino of Avon is the de- lending champion and Joe Gacek is runner up, the Seagram star an- nexing the title last year from a field of thirty-six, representing the best talent the state has to offer.
 This year it is expected that the entry will be supplemented with bowlers from Rhode Island and Massachusetts for both these states are organizing along the same lines as Connecticut with the prospects of plenty of interstate competition.
 The affair will be staged at the Mattatuck Recreation alleys, for merly known as Genlot's, the birth place of major bowling in the east. Bob White will be in charge of the entries and George L.. Isemann will be custodian of the funds with the following acting as general com mitteemen:

| New York Giants And Chi Cardinals At Polo Grounds

New York, October IT. =. The New York Giants face the Chicago Card inals Sunday in the first intersec- tional National Football League game of the season in the Polo Grounds. The defending eastern champions are battling for second place in the struggle against the western eleven which year ago nose them out, IA to 13, on. Phil Sarboels long 30 yard sprint in the final minute of play.
 The Cardinals cume east at full strength for the first time this sea- son and with their entire squad set to go the Cards are as strong as any team in the circuit. Just last Sum day with some of their regulars re- turned to action the Chicago eleven outplayed the Bears and only the end of the game stopped them as end of the game stopped them as they were on their way to the win ming touchdown from the five yard line. They out gained the Bears by 75 yards and were nosed out 2 to 3, which indicates the Giants will have to be at their peak.
 Standouts
 The Cardinals bring two all-league players in Bill Smith, former Wash ington end who scored one of the two touchdownS made by the Chi- cago squad here last fall, and Mike Mikulak. plunging fullback from Oregon who was star in college ranks on the Polo Grounds grid- iron. In addition to these two all- league men = Tony Blaine, giant Illinois Wesleyan tackle, and Phil Sarhoe, elusive Washington back, were on the second all-league squad last fall.
 Sarboe is one of the major prob- lems the Giants have to confront. He beat them last fall on his slip pery running and he is showing an astonishing ability to pass this sea- son and vii lbe double dangerous. He is close behind Ed Danowski in the race for passing honors and while the Giant tossing ace has c5Snpleted g, three more than sarbo>-the Cardinal thrower has made more ground on his passes.
 The Cards have shown themselves dangerous in the aerial game for in four games they have gained 518 yards by forwards, twice as much as the Giants in the same number of games. Smith and Jimmy Law renee, recruit back, from Texas Christian, have caught most of the losses with help from Billy Wilson, fiery end from Gonzaga. \.

g Millions Expected From

Indiana should receive approx
