Army and Southern California. Pitt has waded through four straight games without yielding the opposition a point and the Panthers’ victims in cluded West Virginia, Syracuse, both major elevens of decided strength. Even so, the most the Partners rea- sonably can hope for is a. close score. Rockne’s team seems to have every thing, speed, deception, power. re- serve strength and an excellent de- fense. This battle heads this weeks slim list of intersectional games with all the other eastern headliners involv- ing traditional rivals.

Two more contenders for eastern honors, Fordham and New York university, clash in the Yankee stadium in a duel between the Violet’s fleet sophomore backs and Fordham’s unyielding defense. There will be no lack of color in the meeting between Navy and Princeton although both have been beaten, and Temples unbeaten rec ord will be at stake as the Owls swing into action against Harry Stuhldreher’s Villanova eleven at Philadelphia.
