Having scored 75 points in four games, and seeing It's goal-line crossed but once for seven points, a highly-geared Wilby High School football machine with a backfield that is as fast as anything in the state, meets up with an improved Commercial High School array from New Haven Thursday night of this week at the Municipal Stadium.
 The game, under lights, is sched- uled for starting at 7:45 p. m. and 1t can be said here and now that Coach James wiltshire Lee is com- pletely ignoring the fact that the same Commercial team was tied by Leavenworth on @ rainy day down New Haven way. His undefeated Wildcats who have clawed up four foes to date, including Stratford l3 to 2 last week, will be at decided disadvantage under the lights and against an improved Commercial team. and taste the bitter dregs of It's first defeat, even though the game is scheduled for the familiar field of Municipal Stadium.

Harvard, Surprise Victor Over Indians,

Crimson Grid Glory to Be ShOrt-Lived; B. C. vs

(QmteeW Press stan COfFesp0 p0m0eMV
 Boston, oct. 20-(UPl--New Eng land, which produced the l04O east- ern grtdiron champion Is without an unbeaten major eleven before the nlid-season mark as result of Dartmouth's surprising loss to Har- yard.
 To further compncate the TopSy- turvy aspect, Harvard, last of this sections football powers to win game, now appears to be its strong est team.
 Harvard might well be undefeat- ed today if 1t had stuck to its usual early-season list of warrnups and setups instead of scheduling its toughest array of opponents in mod ern history.
 But Harvard's ssory probably will be short lived for the Crimson fac- es Navy, rated tops in the east, at Cambridge this Saturday. On Its record of one win and two defeats, Harvard appears to have slight chance against the Nays battle wagon which has swept four en- agreements decisively and yielded only two points. The senior studded crimson line, however, Is capable of offering almost any forward wall in the nation Q stiff argument, and perhaps the team has found itself cffensively.
 They Meet Again
 Two other tusgles this weekend loom large from a spectator stand point. Boston College which clinched its claim to the eastern crown Q year ago in Q 1918 thriller with Georgetown meets the Hoyas again. Ivy League rivals, Dartmouth and Yale clash at New Haven, Conn.
 The Eagles and Georgetown will hs just another couple of teams seeking winning records this time. Both have split even in four starts and showed signs of emerging from the do.drums this past week. Dart. mouth attempts to snap back from its disastrous defeat while Yale hopes for & victory after two straight sethacks.
 Brown, aided by light schedule, guns for It's fourth win in five tries against Lafayette, and Holy Gross rebounds at the expense of New York University.
 Blanked by Pennsylvania and Cornell, a Harvard team that hit new high in spirit and enthusiasm bottled up Dartnouth's running at- tack with comparative ease until the final minutes and emerged with TO victory Saturday.
 Fine Work
 The. crimson mufted three scoring chances in the second period, but sensational spot bunting by end Loren MacKinney in the third quarter served as shot in the arm as well as ground gainer. Capt. Fran Lee started the payoff drive with e l6-yard punt return after one of MacKlnney's kicks pushed Dartmouth to It's doorstep and fin. ished the 24-yard surge with a three slice off tackle on the second play of the fourth period.
 In other New England encoun. ters, Boston College whipped Man. hattan, 26-i9: Yale was upset by Army, 20-7; Holy Cross was Emoth. cred by Mississippi, 2l-0, and Brown walloped Tufts, 20-6.
