NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Eastern
football fanatics. looking forward tc
a week end that should contain as
much "drammer" as a dime novel,
generally were agreed that Gotham
had corralled most Of the day s
promised aerial thrills.
The three games that will draw
the crowds into the Polo Grounds.
Yankee Stadium and Baker Field
probably will be decided by aerial
thrusts-if past performances mean
anything.
At Baker Field, Columbia and
Princeton meet in what figures to be
a grand passing duel between two
of the ablest exponents of the for
ward pass-Dave Allerdice and Les
Stanczyk.
The outcome OF the game may
depend definitely on which of those
two pitchers is getting the better
catching Saturday afternoon.
The Auburn Plainsmen also have
talented passer to use against Man.
haitian in another major metropoli-
tan clash. He is Carl Happier, whose
pass to Dick MCGOWAN blasted Mis-
sissippi States hopes for South
eastern Conference title, 10, last
Saturday.
Opposed to him will be John Su-
pulski, Eddie Fay and Bill Proch, who
have handled capably the Jasper
pitching so far this year.
The threat of Allerdice has kept
the Columbia Lions awake at nights
but also has added to the games
appeal. With Allerdice doing most
of the pitching, the Tigers made 154
yards against Cornell last week, al
though beaten, 20-7. With that in
mind, Coach Lou Little has drilled
his charges long and hard this week
on pass defense-a thing that the
Lions opponents used to do when
Lou had Sid Luckman as his pitch
ing ace.
Stanczyk, another in a line of
brothers who have worn the light
blue, is not as spectacular a passer
as Luckman, but he has given the
Lions an aerial threat that cannot
be overlooked.
