  ARlMH-XALE CLASH LS 24TH MEETING OF TWO OUTFITS Columbia Plays Cornell as the Other Big Eastern Game This Weekend. New York, Oct. 30.-When the elevens of Yale and the Army meet inNthe Yale Bowl Saturday 1t will be the 94th meeting of these two rivals In a series which started in 1893. Of the 2S games played. the Els hold an impressive lead, having emerged victorious in IS, while the Army has won only three. Five had ended in ties. The two teams have met annually since 1893 except for a period of eight years between 1912 and 1921, when relations were severed. In the entire series the Yale eleven has scored 2S2 points 10 but Ss for the Service team. The last Army victory was won in 1911 when the Cadets won by a score of to 0. Columbia ys. Cornell Another game sharing the spot light on Saturday will be Columbias meeting with Cornell at Ithaca. For the first time since football was re- stored to the athletic curriculum at Columbia the athletes of the late Percy D. Haughton will travel to Ithaca as at least an even money bet. Fhe eyes of the country will be on the Columbia eleven during this game. Random is watching with breathless interest how the Colum- hia eleven will perform in the face of the loss of their beloved coach, Percy D. Haughton. Cornell’s twin defeats at the hands of Williams and Rutgers had relegated the Dobie machine to a low rating in the college world. Col umbia’s victory over Williams by an impressive 27 to 3 score should make Columbia the favorite over Cornell considering that the Ithacans lost to Williams, 14 to z. But Cornell Is always dangerous and with Colum- bia working under the handicap of having its leader swept from his place by death, the outcome of the game is problematical now. The football teams of Harvard, Yale and Columbia will remain idle today while funeral services of Haughton are being held in Boston. Columbia will leave tonight for Ith- aca following services for the dead coach at the university chapel.
