By FRANK ''BUCK" O'NEnL
Football has advanced to the
fortnight of traditional games
throughout the land. Most Of that
which has gone, before. carried its
full share of interest, but tomor-
row, on Thursday and on next Sat
urday, the season win be at its
peak. It is big game time. and
the big teams command the foot
ball scene.
Georgetown and Maryland play
at Griffith Stadium on Saturday.
Cynics may say that fresh water
drips from the setting Of the game.
But washington has taken the
game to its heart. Unless every
sign is worthless in predicting
crowds, one Of the greatest gatner'
ings that ever watched two loca!
teams play football will be at Grl1-
fifth Stadium tomorrow.
Ten years from now Washington
NAV see this Georgetown-M Mary
land game played in a great mun1-
cipal stadium which an awakened
Congress may sanction. It is grow
ing, this meeting Of the TerrapinS
and Hoyas, and popular opinion
will carry it to the peak Of sport
ing events in the Nations Capt.
tai.
BIG IVY CLASH /
Yale and Harvard play for the
glory of the gerat game OF football
tomorrow in Cambridge, and you
will find many q football fanatic
who will tell you that the Crimson
is going to Stagger the football
realm by knocking off the Blue,
with its mighty Clint Frank, It's
Dave Colwell and the rest.
There is no "little brown jug"
at stake today; no "old oaken
bucket" and no !"ax," but Yale and
Harvard will play for the ivy and
| the romance Of the sport before
capacity crowd; the first capacity
crowd for meeting OF these Stal-
wart old blue bloods Of the grid
iron since 1881.
Syracuse battles Colgate tomor.
row in Archbold Stadium. Perched
high on the hills of Onondago, this
home Of the Orange will be the
| football capital Of Central New
vorir There's tradition here;
fine old tradition. If Syracuse
| wins tomorrow, the chimes in
Crause College will peel wildly over
the town. #; Colgate wins the
silver-throated bells will be silent
for a year.
SEE ORANGE WIN
It has been 13 years since the
bells rang over the Hill, and the
centers of revelry when football
victories are won by the Orange.
Cornell beat Colgate. Syracuse
beat Cornell convincingly. There
fore, the Orange should have no
trouble with the Chenango Raiders.
But the history of this game, like
the history Of all those major
games tells us that scores and vic
tories mean little. Colgate is
poison when it leaves the hills
of Hamilton to venture into Syra-
cuse.
There1l be fun in Indiana to.
morrow when the HooSiers and
BoilermakerS of Old Purdue hook
up in their traditional battle for
the Old Oaken Bucket. From time
out of memory, almost, Indiana
and Purdue have been playing for
this traditional trophy, which is
as hallowed as the Stanford. Cali
fornia AK and the little Brown jug
Of Michigan. Minnesota fame.
And speaking Of the Stanford
AK, the Cardinal Indians of Palo
Alto will battle the Golden Bears
Of Berkeley tomorrow. Alumni Of
the two schools have arranged for
q special wire from the stadium to
a local hotel where returns will
be received.
MAROON RISKS RECORD
Lafayette risks its record to-
morrow with Lehigh. There's an.
other great game that is rich in
story. No matter what the records
of the teams may be, just forget
them. For Lehigh has risen to
great heights to beat Lafayette,
and the latter has done the same
thing on more than one occasion.
Time there was when University
Of Pittsburgh was called Western
University of Pennsylvania, and in
those days Penn State used to
fare pretty well in the annual
football games. But that was
long time ago, ana Pitt has moved
along swiftly since that day and
year. The Panther should tear
asunder the Nittany Lion tomor-
row. In fact, if the Nittany Lion
should do the tearing, 'twould be
most surprising.
Ohio State would rather beat
Michigan than Notre Dame, if the
truth were known, and so tomor-
row the Scarlet and Grey will
move into action at Ann Arbor
determined to add another day Of
sorrow and defeat to the record
Of the Maize and Blue.
