NOTRE DAME and
CAR N E Gle IN
'GRUDGE' GAME
Natural Rivals Meet To-
day-Penn Stacks Up
Against Columbia
By HARRY FERGUSON
limited Press Sports Editor


New York, Oct. 22-(UP)-East
meets west and south fights north
today In seven important intersec-
tional games heading O football pro-
gram that will give definite line
on the strength and weaknesses Of
the various sectors involved In the
autumn battle.
The scores posted tonight Will
help answer the old question Of
whether the best teams spring out
of the prairies OF the midwest, the
Texas plains, the eastern seaboard,
the soil of Dixie or the slopes Of the
Pacific. The headline games In this
intersectional warfare bring to-
gether Arkansas and Santa Clara
ct San Francisco; Fordham and
Oregon In New York; and Pitts
burgh and Southern Methodist uni
versity at Pittsburgh.
In addition Colgate sent a tricky
team west to play Iowa; Syracuse
invaded Michigan States territory;
Michigan came east to take on Yale
at New Haven, and Texas Christian
marched north to tackle Marquette.
But what may turn out to be the
battle Of the day will be game be-
tween two teams that are almost
neighbors-unbeate Notre Dame, o
potentially great outfit, and Car
negie Tech, O club that is begin
ming to roll now and would rather
beat Notre Dame than place II men
on the All-America.
The midwest Is studded with
great games. Indiana and Kansas
State should be o battle until the
last whistle; Oklahoma and Me-
braska will play game that will
help determine the championship
Of the Big Six; and Purdue and Wis
consin, two evenly matched teams,
meet In o private quarrel inside
the Big Ten family. Ohio State
plays Chicago and unless there Is
an earthquake the Buckeyes should
have o restful afternoon.
Dartmouth, unbeaten, united and
apparently the class Of the eastern
seaboard, takes on Harvard team
that Is better than its record indi-
Gates. Pennsylvania meets Column
bia In one that has the customers
Tipping o coin to make their picks.
Navy and Princeton provide another
eastern attraction while the Army
does not expect to have too much
trouble with Boston university.
The southwest offers as Its can
didate for the national spotlight
Bayler VS.. Texas A. g. M. A strong
Rice team plays Texas, which hasn't
been on the winning end this season.
Alabama, resting up from the plas-
tering 1t took from Tennessee, ex-
poets little trouble from Sewanee
and Duke looks like q safe call
over Wake Forest. But the easy ones
in Dixie stop there. Here are three
they will be arguing about for
months: Georgia Tech VS.. Auburn
Louisiana VS.. Vanderbilt; and Mis-
sissippi VS.. Centenary.
On the west coast California pits
Its unbeaten, united record against
washington and Is o heavy favorite,
Stanford plays Southern California
in o game In which anything can
happen and Oregon State meets
Washington State.
