 Three games dominate the foot ball map this afternoon:
 Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt at Nash. vile; Dartmouth vs. Cornell al Ithaca, N. r., and Notre Dame vS, Minnesota at South Bend, Ind.
 Tennessee, pointing for the Rose Bowl, finds tricky Vanderbilt team in its way and this may be the day that sees the king of the South topple from the throne. The news from the west Is that Bernie Bier man has his. Minnesota powerhouse loaded for Notre Dame and that this will be the afternoon when the Irish, who have almost been tripped several times this season, finally crash. No matter who wins, this one looks like the game of the day. At Ithaca it will be Dartmouth's backs against Cornell's great line. Dart mouth is slight favorite when the odds are on paper, but when the betting starts the cry usually is "even money" It's strictly flip-a- nickel game.
 While those games will draw most of the attention, there will be slann-. bang football played all the way across the nation with the picture shaping up like this:
