NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-No matter
how you look at the dozens of good
games on the college football pro-
gram this mid-season Saturday aft
ernoon. three of them stand out head
and shoulders above the rest.
They're all East-Midwest inter-
sectional games-Cornell VS.. Ohio
State, Yale VS.. Michigan and Car
negie VS.. Notre Dame.
Considering the known strength of
the teams, their records and prestige.
about the only other contests that
might be mentioned in the same
breath are North Carolina VS.. Penn
sylvania, Purdue vs. Santa Clara and
two Pacific Coast Conference clashes
Oregon-U. c. L. A. and Southern
California-Gali
Take the first. for example. Ohio
State shares with Michigan the lead
in the Big Ten, perhaps the most
powerful of all college conferences
with the single exception of its last
place member, Chicago. Cornell,
long ranking member of the Easts
informal but none the less influential
Ivy League" has come up with an
unusually fine team, perhaps the
best in the East.
Yale Distinct Underdog.
Yale with a rather unimpressive
record, hardly figures to give Michi-
gan a tussle, but there's the we'll
known fact that Yale teams lust
don't go down any way but fighting.
The Ellis are exhibiting in the Mid
west for the second time in history
all the color and background that
is traditional with Yale football.
Although younger than Yale's.
Notre Danes football tradition is
almost as strong. And a part of it
is that Carnegie is one team most
likely to upset the Irish" Car
negie itself was upset last week by
New York University. and doesn't
appear likely to turn the tables this
time
Each Of those games figures to at
tract. 10000 or more fans. The
others, except Purdue-S Santa Clara,
are in the $4,000 and up class as
gate attractions.
Penn is one of the Easts few un-
beaten and united teams, while
North Carolina, major Southern
power, has only been tied. Oregon
and U. c. L. A. are candidates for
the Coast title and the Rose Bowl.
So is Southern California, which is
back near the top after a shaky
start.
More Lively Struggles Listed.
Other outstanding games, reading
from East to West. include Dart
mouth Harvard, Pitt -Fordham, Ar
sas-Villanova, Louisiana State
Vanderbilt, Auburn-Georgia Tech,
Wake Forest-Duke, Illinois North
western, Iowa Wisconsin. Nebraska
Kansas State. Baylor A. and
NJ, Rice-Texas, Utah-Denver, STAN
ford-Washington and Washington
State-Oregon State. All should pro-
duce lively tussels, but the draw
back in most cases is that the Sec
tional leaders aren't matched up
with their leading rivals this week.
1ntersectional games also were the
most interesting events on the Fri
day program as unbeaten and un-
tied Duquesne whipped Texas Tech
1870, and West Virginia and South
Carolina played 6-6 tie. In other
outstanding games. Temple whipped
Bucknell 1910. Sewanee pulled out
a 60 decision over Southwestern of
Memphis, Catholic U. downed
Miami, 40: Drake moved back into
the Missouri Valley Conference race
with 12-0 win over St. Louis Uni
versity and Brigham Young of the
Big Seven trimmed Greeley State
Of the Rocky Mountain conference,
1876.
