OHIO STATE TO
MAKE OR BREAK
BEST IN EAST
FOrdham Ready for Pitt at
New Workable at
Michigan
By LESLIE AVERY

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Oct. Is (UP) - The
east wants to know i.ist how good
is Cornells football team, the last
major indicated, united eleven in
the section, and their question will
be answered Saturday when the Big
Red will be the underdog against
Ohio States powerhouse.
Last week the Big Red was group
ed with Pitt and Carnegie Tech in
speculations on national contender
from the east. But Pitt was out-
gained by Duquesne and Carnegie
bowed to an moderated N. Y. U.
team, while Cornell rolled on to its
most impressive win of the year, A.
0, over Penn State.
Ohio State is either going to make
or break Carl Snavel's Cornell team.
The Buckeyes have rolled smoothly
to victories against Missouri, North
western and Minnesota and are the
last serious obstacle on the Cornell
schedule. II they don't stop the Big
Red, there seems little chance of
Columbia, Colgate, Dartmouth or
Penn doing it.
This will be the first time a Cor
nell eleven has verltured q trip to
the midwest since Gil Bodies 1893
team was smaiked 400 by Michigan.
Loss of Capt. Vince Eichler, 215-
pound fullback, who withdrew from
school because of an injured leg,
does not seem to have hurt Cornell
as much as expected, although the
Big Red undoubtedly would have
been a better team with him In the
lineup. A senior, Eichler left school
for an operation and will return next
year if his leg is in shape.
StandOut
Possibly the biggest game in the
east this week is Fordham VS.. Pitt
at New York. Fordham, idle last
week in preparation for the Panthers
will be trying to come back from
setbacks suffered at the hands of
Tulane and Alabama. Coach Jim
Crowley secuted the Pitt-DuQuesne
game him elf to get line on Char
ley Bowser's boys, and he hopes they
play no better against Fordham than
they did against Duquesne. The
Rams will be without the services
of Hudacek at tackle and possibly
Bill Krywicki at quarter.
Carnegie Tech, apparently shown
up as vastly overrated team on its
60 defeat by N. Y. u, is given little
change against Notre Dame. That
bitterly argued TO victory by Notre
Dame last year still rank1es, how
ever, and you can bet bill Kern will
have his boys geared for their best
ball game of the year.
A host of intersectional tits en-
liven the eastern schedule and there
will be Big crowd at Ann Arbor
to get look at the possible Big
Ten champion when Michigan En-
cages Yale. Others include Texas
Tech VS.. Duquesne; Penn VS.. North
Carolina: Navy Clemson; Arkansas
Villanova; Georgia-N. Y. u; and
Columbia-V. M. I. Sectiona en-
counters include Dartmouth Har-
ward, Princeton-B Brown, Holy Cross
Colgate, Syracuse Penn State,
Georgetown George w h ington,
Rutgers-Lehigh, Army Ursinus, Bos-
Bucknell.

Grand Mercantile
League Notes

With the first round almost over
the race is beginning to tighten and
the first place Town Taverners will
have to do some tall bowling to keep
their very slim lead.
Last week proved that the Canal
Lunchers have a snappy team and
their scores indicate trouble for the
favorites. The Kiessel Boys, after
suffering a six-game losing streak
came back strong to trounce the
Monarch Insurance boys who were
weakened by the absence of Chucker
Klein, their four-tar anchor man.
It is rumored that he hit the trail
for another good man, the qualiflca-
tons being that he must be the sole
owner of the mysterious policy.
The Grand Five showed their heels
to the up an dcoming Hotel Elton
boys who displayed real form and
easily trounced the Grendeers the
first game but Flipping Fiore Guer-
rera rallied his boys and they went
on to win the next two games.
Eddie Schnitzel started the ball
rolling with a nice 404 total to set
a new league record. Happy Herman,
the most bashful bowler in the
league, is hitting his stride and is
out to better his last years average
and that is going to be easy with the
start that he has. Lud Jasilunas is
still swinging his arm in baseball
fashion and can't seem to get the
range, but watch his smoke when he
does.
Cappy Coppolo, the strike hall kid,
is a comeback and his 124 average
looks small according to his predic-
tons. Cappy always ranked with the
best bowlers in town but pressure OF
business always limited his trips to
bowling alleys. He says that just as
soon as he is ready he is going to
issue sweepding challenge to Lone
some Lou Piedmonte for a fifteen
game match. Augie (Christmas)
Natalie Is the most improved bowler
in town and is sporting good sized
average. Pop Manzo has really set
tied down to serious business and
freely predicts that whoever wins the
pennant will have to beat the Cana
boys.
Eddie Butler, the quiet little boy
from Willow street, is having the
time of his life and shapes up as q
conner. Just try getting little prac-
tice Ed, and you will reach the top
Jumping Angy Rinaldi is still little
of form but he is a real trouble
shooter and when he gets back ir
stride he promises to give Jimmy
Gagg the trouncing of his bowling
career.
Cimino, the Hotel Elton flash. ha!
had some very tough breaks lately
but should find himself very shortly
Andy Manzo is still trying to cracl
a $50 total and that should be easy.
Rocco Daddona and Doc Cofran.

style and with the help of Ton!
