NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-The foot
ball fans up Boston way. who are
pretty keen judges of quality in the
game, are about the luckiest of all
enthusiasts today
While every section of the country
offers big games for those who have
the price of ticket and didn't de-
lay too long about ordering one, the
New Englanders can have their
choice of three or four of the top
offerings. Or if they want to travel
little they can pick over an even
wider range.
At Cambridge, for instance, there's
the Harvard-Michigan game. It's
just about tops in intersectional
offerings, what with terrific Tommy
Harmon ready to put on one of his
great running performances and
Harvard ready to do its best to stop
him. Then there's mighty Boston
College facing Temple: at nearby
Worcester Holy Cross meets Carne-
gle Tech; Dartmouth and Columbia
stage an Ivy League" tussle at
Hanover, N. H., and Brown and Col
gate renew an old rivalry at Provi-
dence, R. I.
New York Area Card Smart.
The New York area also has
bunch of big games, including the
tussle between Cornell, generally
rated the East's best outfit, and
the determined Army squad and the
intersectional tilt between Ford
ham and Tulane. Other outstanding
Eastern clashes include New York
U, Syracuse, Pennsylvania Yale,
Princeton Navy, Penn State-West
Virginia, Pittsburgh-Southern Meth
odist. and Franklin and Marshall
upset victor over Dartmouth)
against Richmond.
In the South interest is split
among the big intersectional battle
between North Carolina and Texas
Christian, the big Clemson Wake
Forest Southern Conference game
and three major Southeastern Con-
ference lts-Vanderbilt-K
Georgia Mississippi and Auburn
Mississippi State. Othern Southern
Conference contests are Davidson
Virginia Military and Virginia Tech
William and Mary.
Big Games in Middle West.
It's almost impossible to pick
one big game to head the Middle
Western territory. but there's enough
territory for them all. Perhaps
the best in the Big Ten Conference
race sends Ohio State against North
western at Evanston. Both have
shown great strength Then there's
Iowa Wisconsin. a dark horse" pair
ing; intersectional game sending
Notre Dame against Georgia Tech
and Illinois against Southern Cali
fornia and non-conference games
between Nebraska and Indiana and
Michigan State and Purdue. The
Big Six circuit offers only one cham
pionship game, but a good one
Missouri VS.. Kansas State
The Southwest has a rather light
program of big" games, topped by
Baylor, Texas Oklahoma
and ice-Louisiana State. There's
about the same in the Rocky Noun
tain Big Seven, where Utah State
plays Colorado in the conference
and Utah plays an outside foe, Ari-
zona. Montana VS.. Texas Tech is
an interesting intersectional affair.
Tough Test for Stanford.
Stanford, currently the No. l
team of the Pacific Coast Confer
ence, takes on a non-conference
rival that should test the Indians
to the limit, Santa Clara. Mean
while Oregon is at home against
Washington and comeback-bo
California meets its first conference
rival, Washington State. U. C. L. A.,
twice beaten by close scores, en-
counters the Texas Aggies.
