  OAsDSAAp Providence, R. l., Oct. 11.-On the basis of early season games, the three top teams in New England seem to be Holy Cross, Dartmouth, and Harvard, and the most impress sive of the three, at least on paper, is the big Green team from Han- over. Dartnouth’s 47-O victory over Vermont, following a 39–⁠0 triumph over little Norwich, may cause skeptics to belittle the power of the team, due to the admitted inferior ity of the opposition. However, it can be pointed out that in the Nor- wich game, Coach Earl Blaik used his first squad only for the initial two touchdowns, and against Yer mont the varsity left the field after the first period, when 1t ran up B points. Blaik has unearthed a junior sensation in Eddie Casey, nephew of the former Harvard star and coach. The youngster is working very smoothly with Jack Kenny, quarter and captain; Eddie Cham berlin, halfback, and Joe Kiernan, fullback. Fred Hollingworth, a sophomore half, also is starring. Tn the first two games of the sea- son, the Green demonstrated plenty of power but, more important, flashed an aerial attack that was a revelation. Dartmouth’s first big test of the season will come October 26, when the squad from Hanover lines up against Harvard. .a Crusaders Block Harvard Speaking of Harvard-if Dick Harlow’s team can get by Holy Cross this Saturday, it ought to have one of its best years in the last decade. But Holy Cross is 8 big hurdle. Eddie Anderson’s ponderous, yet fleet, veteran aggregation came to life after. it’s sluggish opening against Rhode Island, played excel lent football against rugged Providence College team, and fol- lowed with 8 spectacular exhibition of power and strategy to down Maine, 47–⁠0. The inherent strength which had been prophesied for Holy Cross is apparent. The Crusaders are on their way to what should be their best season in history, and it will take a Harvard team, worked up to Sir Malcolm Campbell speed, to beat them. Early-season roundups of the va rious camps in New England indi- cate that: A spirit of optimism prevails in the Yale camp that bodes evil for Harvard. The Eli line is develop ing, and with the best forward pass combination in the east-Ros- COG to Kelly-Yale is expected to be a tough team to hurdle. Looms Big in Little Three Boston College, smarting under it’s defeat by Fordham, is going to be stronger than expected during the remainder of the season. In the Eagles game against St. An selm, they threw 19 forward passes with wet ball, two being tossed from their own goal line in game which they were leading by 8 close score. This is an indication that you can expect anything at any time from Dinny McNamara’s team. Williams has served notice to her Little Three rivals that powerful team is in the making in the
