    N0TRE DAME ID PLAY PITT TEAM Rockne’s Charges Make First Trip East This Week New York, Oct. 22 LP -, knute Rockne’s Notre Dame football eleven, tackling a Suicide sched- ulc,” makes it’s first sally into the east this week to battle the rugged Partners of Pittsburgh. After Carnegie Techs crushing de- feat at South Bend last week the Partners can be nothing but decided short-enders against Rockne’s men who have beaten Southern Metho- dist, Navy and Carnegie Tech and find ahead of them Pitt, Indiana, Penn, Drake, Northwestern. 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. Yale stacks up against an un- beaten Army in a contest that should draw 75,00O to the Yale. bowl and 55,O0O are expected to watch Harvard attempt to stop Dart mouths powerful array which has piled up 225 points against none for the opposition in four games. 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. It will be an old rivalry in new setting when Wash ington and Jefferson meets Lafayette in an indoor night game at Atlantic City. Brown and Holy Cross who waged a sensational battle before Brown won, 15–⁠14 last year, will re- new their feud at Providence. Penn State and Colgate, both checked last Saturday, the first in a scoreless tie with Lafayette and the other in a 14–⁠7 beating by Michigan State, will try to take it out on each other at State College, Pa.
