Dartmouth Tilt
Crucial Test
Of Cornell
Will Tell Whether
Big Red Rates Top
On Eastern Grid
By the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Nov. Tits up to
the Dartmouth Indian to prove
whether the Cornell Big Red team
is entitled to its present position as
the East's major football power.
Cornell virtually earned all the
nice things said about it three weeks
ago by going West, spotting Ohio
State two touchdowns and beating
the Bucks at home, 23-14.
That was good enough for most
of the Eastern fans who claim un-
dying allegiance to the best team in
the East-until it loses and then
Immediately cast about for its sue
cessor.
Cornell Twice Barely Escapes.
But on successive weeks. the Cor
nellians have had two narrow
squeaks that have raised reasonable
doubt about the right to rate at the
top of the heap.
First, the plucky Columbia Lion
almost beat the gang from up above
Cayuga's waters before bowing on a
couple of blocked kicks, 1877. Then
last week, an underdog Colgate team
played Cornell dead even, only to
lose, 14-12, when couple of those
after touchdown placements went
awry.
Dartmouth was breezing along in
fine shape, save for a scoreless tic
with Navy, until last week, when it
came cropper against Princeton,
81. But those five other victories
have thrown fear into Coach Carl
SnaYely's heart.

LEWIS F. ATCHISON,

-
EN- ROUTE TO KANSAS CITY,
Nov. Through unbottled spirit
to float couple of stag parties is
aboard this crack flyer hauling
George Washington's gridmen West,
and it all isn't concentrated on to-
morrow's game with Kansas at
Lawrence.
Bill Reinhart's Colonials want to
win, make no mistake about it, but
they're also pulling for Georgetown
to come through against New York
University. and Clemson against
Southwestern. It's pretty hard to
forget that TO setback at the
Georgetowns' hands, and as long
as G. w. failed to snap the Hoyas'
unbroken string, they want no other
team to end it. The truth of the
matter is they want Georgetown to
keep right on winning until they
meet next year.
Colonials Figure Comparisons.
AS for Clemson, to which they
lost, 6-13. in the best collegiate
game committed at Griffith stadium
this season, they reason that the
better Clemson looks the better they
look by comparison, and they have
something there.
This trip got of on the wrong
foot, but Reinhart does not regard
it as an evil omen. A brief prac-
tice was scheduled yesterday on the
polo field before entraining for
the West. Punting and passing had
been neglected purposely through
out the week while the squad con-
centrated on a defense to stop
Kansas running attack. Thus, yes
terday Reinharts plans called for
punting and passing exclusively.
Manager Forgets Pigskin.
It was a good idea, but the stu
dent manager forgot to bring a foot
ball to the field and the team, al
ready late getting started, was
obliged to curtail its workout. Kick
ing and throwing were to be stressed
this afternoon in a drill on WASH
ington University's field at st.
Louis. The players will get a good
hour and a half while awaiting train
connections for Kansas City.

Girl Drum Major Threatening
To Blast Harvard Tradition

Beatrice Fishman, coed leader, was
met with threats of a sit-down
strike.
So sturdy is the Harvard "preju-
dice" against drum majorettes, how
ever, that one girl baton -twirler who
tried to get on the field with the
Crimson Band, in an unofficial sort
of a way, between the halves of the
Penn Harvard game, was elected
from the stadium.
But the New Hampshire Band has
been provided with new uniforms
for tomorrow's battle-royal with

Chicords Get Wheeler
For Play Here Sunday

The Chicago Cardinals, who face

the game by the acquisition of Half
back Barney Wheeler, obtained from
the Pittsburgh Pirates in straight
trade for Fullback Ed Cherry.
Wheeler, a triple-threat halfback
from North Dakota State, entered
the pro field this fall, while Cherry
has been with the Cards three sea-

Gotham game with New York u,

in reverse.
So while Georgetown is poised to
snatch measure of national recog-

surrounding Coach George Menke.
the Eagles hold only a faint glimmer
of hope, for Swarthmore is their
toughest assignment of the year.
Hoyas Expect Air Attack.
N. Y. U. also represents what may
materialize as Georgetown's rough

are prepared for an anticipated
aerial barrage and mentally and
physically tuned to climax their
season with another triumph.
