    TWO STRONG DIXIE TEAMS HEAD NORTH Georgia Invades Yale Bowl and Georgia Tech Plays at Carnegie Tech. BY tho Associated Press. N YEW YORK, October 6.-The nj Southern Conference sends two potent representatives north ward next Saturday to challenge formidable Eastern foot ball elevens. At New Haven, Georgia will try to repeat its 1929 triumph over Yale. At Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech clashes with Carnegie Tech Yale travelled South to meet Georgia last year and took $50 FASTING, but there is a strong probability that the Ellis will gain revenge this year. Yale’s spectacular 40-l3 triumph over Mary land last Saturday not only provided Albic Booth with an opportunity to star, but seemed to indicate that Nal Stevens has developed quite some foot ball team at New Haven. Carnegie Tech has rolled up l27 points against its first two tests against minor opposition and the Plaid APP parently has power to burn. Georgia Techs crushing 45–⁠0 victory over South Carolina is indication enough that the Engineers must be reckoned with whom ever they play. So far as purely intraSectional games go, Prince tons clash with Brown will attract interest. The Tigers played alert foot ball in beating Amherst, $50, and uncovered two backfield finds in Jack James and Stan Purnell They may obtain revenge for the 1912 beating they accepted at Browns hands a year ago.

    SOUTHERN ELEVENS ID PLAY IN NORTH Georgia to Appear Against Yale Team This Saturday New York, Oct. LR-The south ern conference sends two potent rep resentatives this week to challenge formidable eaatern football elevens in their own back yards. At New Haven. Conn, on Satur- day the Georgia Bulldogs will try to repeat their 1915 15 to 0 triumph over Yale. and at Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech clashes with Carnegie Tech in the sections other outstand- ing intersectional battle of the day. There is strong probability that the Ellis will gain revenge this year. Not that Georgia is weak. but Yale’s spectacular 40–⁠13 triumph over Maryland on Saturday not only pro- vided Albie Booth with an oppor- tunity to star but seemed to indi- cate that Nal Stevens has developed quite some football team at New Haven. Carnegie Tech has rolled up 127 points against its first two tests against minor opposition and the plaid apparently has power to burn. Georgia Techs crushing 45–⁠0 victory over South Carolina is indication that the Engineers must be reckon ed with no matter with whom they play. Two other southern conference teams also will invade the north but Virginia is conceded little chance to stop Penn and Washington and Lee do not seem to rank on par with West Virginia. Navy to Face Notre Dame Eastern college figure in half a dozen other intersectional clashes Navy goes west to meet Notre Dame at South Bend with little hope of victory; Pitt meets Western Reserve at Cleveland; and Washington and Jefferson battles Wittenberg. a strong Ohio outfit at Springfield. o. On Friday night. Loyola of Chi cago takes the field against Du- quesne at Pittsburgh; Davis and FL kins. already beaten twice. faces Mt Union at Alliance, O.; Grove City tackles John Carroll at Cleveland; Oglethorpe invades New York for a game with Manhattan, and Wake Forest takes on Baltimore. Princeton vs. Brown So far as Saturdays purely intra- sectional games go. Princetons clash with Brown will attract principal in- terest. The Tigers played alert foot ball in beating Amherst, 23–⁠0, and uncovered two backfeld finds in Jack James and Stan Purnell. They may obtain revenge for the 13–⁠12 beating they accepted at Browns hands a year ago although the Bruins showed improved form on Saturday. Villanova’s defeat by Gettysburg will leave the Philadelphians under dogs in their coming battle with New York university and Colgate will be highly favored over an under par Lafayette eleven although this pair have put up some gruelling battles in the past. Another even struggle looms be- tween Temple at Bucknell, but most of the other major teams will con- tinue to-meet minor opposition. Harvard’s next foe will be Spring field; Army meets Swarthmore, and Syracuse taken on Rutgers. :. There is hardly the element of contest in such games as Cornell l-Hampden- Sydney; Columbia Wesleyan; Dart mouth Boston university: Holy Cross Catholic; and Penn State- Marshall.
