  SYRACUSE, PENN AND LAFAYETTE ARE APPARENTLY BEST OUTFITS IN EAST Their Chances of Going Through Season Unde- feated Are Brighter Than Those of Other Elevens. New York, Oct. 29.-Of the seven major football teams in the east not beaten or tied, Syracuse and either Penn or Lafayette appear to have the best chance of sweeping through the season with clean records. Penn State, Pitt and Colgate, each Of whom has been defeated. are the highest hurdles in the lane of the Orange eleven whose fast backfield and strong line seem capable of jumping all. Penn, which now leads in games won and points scored and Lafayette the only team whose goal ‘has not yet been crossed, meet on NoveHlber 1. Each is favored to win its other contests, Penns strongest opponents will be Virginia, Georgetown and Cornell. Lafayette will take on w.. and J., Rutgers and Lehigh, Williams can go confidently on to a clean slate if it defeats Colum- bia next Saturday but the future of Rutgers, w. and J. and Harvard, the unbeaten elevens, and of Yale, Dart mouth, Lehigh and Princeton, with tie games marring their records, is cloudy.
