YALE AND PENNSYLV wanna ARE BIG CONTENDERS IN THE EAST Harvard Beginning to Show Power-Yale Looks for Little Trouble Against Brown New York, Oct. 1S-(P)-Yale and Pennsylvania stand out today as leading contenders for the football championship Of the east. Dart mouth, titleholder in 1925, tasted defeat for the first time in almost three years in the Yale Bowl Saturday and the great hidden ball attack of the Pennsylvanians smashed Chi cago. invaders from the Western Conference, q to 0. Penn has no game scheduled with Yale or Dartmouth. but Williams, Illinois, Penn State, Columbia, and Cornell will test the title aspirations of the Keystone eleven. Yale, with a Brown meeting in the offlng, has Army, Maryland, Princeton and Harward left to try their championship qualities. Yale rose to majestic heights in whipping Dartmouth, IA to Z, by the very means that had lifted the IT. dams Of the north to acknowledged supremacy of the pigskin world. Crashing line play and bewildering forward passes that edged out the victory in the final stages, We’re both former weapons of the Green. Penn sylvania showed an eleven that out classed the westerners in every &C. partment equipped with a deceptive attack that had Chicago tackling all backs but the man carrying the ball. The Ellis have smooth running Brown eleven just ahead, but with crippled regulars expected back in the lineup this week and only slight | injuries sustained in the Dartmouth struggle, the Blue looks for little | %sN iva 10 I, fy1tsf u ~ | opportunitv to develop against Will | liams with little fear of an upset resulting. Dartmouth continues its war with | the Big Three against a Harry ard team that is showing distinct signs of form and power after two defeats in a ragged start. The Crimson in | downing William and Mary 81 to Z, displayed a line that could open | holes, a running attack that was smooth and finished, and an effective air attack. Cripples of the suad, Captain Coady at Tackle, Daley, guard, and Miller and French, regular backs, are ready to resi- W. k. Injured regulars returning to the Princeton squad will bolster the Tigers for the Lehigh engagement after the Navy defeat, q to IS. Cap tain John Davis will be back at guard to strengthen a line splintered and torn by the Middle attack The | Navy must continue in ‘i~h gear to dispose of . ‘~~~4a nosed out Saturday by PITTSBURGH = one Of tho days upsets. 10 to 16, The leading scorer of the east “Whippet” Carr, of Syracuse, with % points to his credit, will rage into | action against the highest scoring 4 team when the Orange meets Penn State this week. The Nittany Lions have gathered 165 points in games sc far, thanks largely to 80 scored against Susquehanpa in the opening game. The Army, after bruising 81 to 9. | win over Syracuse, can rest a regu. lar eleven and at the same time de | velop substitutes, just now tn, J Cadet weakness, in the coming Bos. ton University tilt. Cornell, with an open date on Saturday, can res after the 24–14 victory over Michigan State and prime the attack for thu Columbia game the following week Columbia, battered 80 to 7 by Obi, State, has Duke University of NORTH Carolina as the second Intersections opponent in two weeks. Duke ha: shown little in early season games but reports from. the south indicate the Carolinians are preparing sur. prises.
