  RUNNING FALCON 1Mro YALE, DARTMOUTH ARE WORRIED Neither Too Surt About StrtnGth Of Saturdays Opponents | tim’s Revenge” or The Victor Van quished” is the title of the football show that at least three Pennsyl- vania colleges hope to stage next Saturday. A trio of Keystone state leaders. Penn State. Washington and Jefferson and Pittsburgh. went down in unexpected defeats last week. and two of them are out to climb back into the limeltYht by turning in upsets themselves. Penn State. beaten for the second successive year by Bucknell. by 6 to 0 score. hopes to repeat last years comeback at the expense of Pennsylvania. A year ago Nittany Lions accomplished that feat when Penn was a favorite. Having run up . total of 147 points in three minor games. Penn is generally favored this year and a Penn State triumph would put the Lions back on their feet again. Penn State is handicapped by the loss of two first string linemen. Kicker and Shawley. who were in- jured in the Bucknell game. A large part of this weeks work has been devoted to . search for substitutes to bear the brunt of Penn’s power- full attack. Penn also has . tale of woe in the loss of Ralph Monk, star guard. who will be kept out of the game by a boil on his arm. So far his absence has had no visible effect on the Penn attack which covered 80 yards in seven plays yesterday to score on 8 strong scrub team. Second in interest to the Penn Penn State encounter is the meet | ing between the western Pennsyl- vania rivals, w. and J.. and Carne- gie Tech. The Presidents were the victims of an upset at the hands of Duquesne Saturday and like Penn State are out to wipe out the stain by beating a stronger team. Carne- gie has a powerful aggregation but | it is not impregnable. Thiel scored twice on the Skilos last week. al- though losing 45 to 13, and Vest minister crossed the Carnegie goal line in the opening game. Pittsburgh, which was on the short end of 8 g to score in the West Virginia game last week has g. comparatively weak opponent in Allegheny and has only the prospect of running up a large score to make up for the defeat. Allegheny. which showed strength in scoring twice on Dartmouth, has a good opening to add another upset to the growing list. | West Virginia also seems to have soft spot in Washington and Lee which was beaten by Kentucky last Saturday. The Mountaineers have 8 6–⁠6 tie left from last year to clean off the books. Bucknell, the giant killer, continues along its tough schedule by entertaining Lafayette at Lewisburg. The contest would look like an easy one for the Easton boys were 1t not for Bucknell’s habit of winning games it should lose. Syracuse, the eastern entry in the intersectional wars, already is on it’s day to Lincoln where there is a lit- tie matter of a 21 to 0 defeat by the Cornhuskers last year to clean up. In other parts of the eastern front the Army and Harvard teams are presenting the leading encounter with the Yale-Brown and Columbia Dartmouth struggles as secondary attractions. The Cadets never have beaten Harvard and have scored only once but they believe this is their year to break he Crimson charm. The game at New Haven is full of doubt because of the condition of both the Yale and the Brown squads. Coach Nal Stevens sent his men through their first scrimmage since the opening game yesterday but still is taking no chances on fur lther injuries to his fragile stars Brown also has a long list of minor Injuries. Although Columbia has not beat en Dartmouth in 27 years. the pros poets for the New Workers look bet ter than they have in some time The Columbia attack looks strong while the Dartmouth defense hal lbeen penetrated on several occasion. by lesser opponents. Princeton and Navy are working hard to develop strength for theil meetings with Lehigh and Duke, thu Tigers on their line which showed lweakness against Virginia and tho Midshipmen on an attack which hal failed to appear so far this season
