Virginia Wesleyan is not unde-
feated, but it did beat Duquesne,
and DuqueSne beat Pitt, which
conquered Notre Dame.
Notre Dame is favored to win
from Navy. A victory over the
Bobcats will go far toward rehabili-
tating the Cardinals locally.
Georgetown plays West Virginia
at Morgantown, and Maryland
faces Richmond in the old capital
Of the Confederacy.
All of the pomp and circum.
stance, the blaring of trumpetS
and the glitter of gold lace, will
attend the traditional game be-
tween Navy and Notre Dame La
Baltimore's Municipal Stadium.
Kickoff at 2 Pm.
The kickoff will spin through
the air at 2 o'clock and, if advices
from Baltimore are correct, more
than $4,000 lovers Of football will
hail the Irish and the future
admirals in their strife.
Notre Dame, being favored to
win, indeed should win. 1t is true
that the mighty line Of Pittsburgh,
functioning faultlessly for great
day, ripped the line Of Blue Eyes,
Notre Danes colors are blue and
gold, although the Irish frequently
array themselves in emerald

true that since that one dark day,
Notre Dame has played winning
football.
Man-POwer Plenty
Manpower, ever potent factor
when teams of major callbre meet,
will play its part in this game
'twixt Notre Dame and Navy.

ory, to the scoring team, the reliet
men and the experience seekers.
With the exception Of the last
named team, the other might well
carry on against ordinary oppo-
sition.
Against this proud array of foot
ball might, Navy will pit a squad
which is in perfect condition, or
nearly in perfect condition for a
make-or-break battle.
Needs Dry Field
Navy hopes for a dry field, as
it is prepared to seek victory
through the air. Ordinarily, the
overhead lanes are regarded as
Notre Danes domain. So firmly
intrenched vas the tradition of
Notre Danes mastery of the ether,
that many football fans would
argue that Knute Rockne intro

when the Navy attack starts to
roll.
Purdue and FOrdham
No game of the afternoon offers
greater possibilities than the meet
ing of Purdue'S Boilermakers and
the Fordham Ram. Last year, with
out ISbell and Drake, Purdue ran
riot over Fordham.
But that was a thousand years
ago as far as the Maroon warriors
of this season are concerned. The
BoilermakerS are tough, despite
their 33 to o lacing at the hands
of Minnesota, but Fordham, con-
queror of St. Mary'S and equal
foe of mighty Pitt fears little that
the Indiana team may launch.
Up in Philadelphia, Michigan'S
Wolverines tackle Old Penn, and
this time the odds are on Harvey
Harmon's Red and Blue giants.
Indiana invades Central New York
to tackle the much battered eleven
of Syracuse University. On paper,
it looks to this prognoSticator as
two out of three for the East, with
Fordham and Penn triumphant.
Penn Burns Hot
Penn is on fire with a mighty
spirit for this joust with Michigan.
The fires began to blaze on last
Monday. The Penn coaches read
a statement made by Harry Kipke
to the effect that Michigan was
not disturbed over Penn'S vaunted
aerial attack.
Vowing being something of q
vogue in these days the Penn
squad vowed that Mr.. Kipke would
eat those words before Saturday
was over. If Penn should lose,
twill not be because the coaches
failed to take the game seriously.
University Of Alabama, one Of
the lands unbeaten teams will
face the charges of the undefeated
Tulane. Green Wave and Crimson
Tide meeting head on. It will be
a battle, but the experts give a
shade to Tulane.
Louisiana State University, the
far famed Tigers of the BayouS,
will have a battle on their hands
with the team of Mississippi State
College, coached by Major Ralph
SaSSe.
