  erS ON the return trip to New York were agreed the Yales’ best attacking back field consists Of EWart, HesSberg, Frank and Whitehead It remains to be seen if the coaching staff will make use Of this priceless information The big game in the Midwest brings Pittsburgh and Notre Dame together and this department is disposed to string along with the Smoke Eaters despite their COM parative ineXperiencc. True, not much remains of the tremendous machine Of last season which steam rollered all opposition except Mime sofa, but Jock Sutherland always comes up with a pretty formidable team and there is no reason TO suspect this one is an exception. Comparing the Scores Notre Dame appears definitely on the way back to the RoCkne heights, but it may be that the goal is still a year away While the South Blenders have won all their games so far the statistical story is not any too flat tering. Kansas scored a touchdown against them, and this same Kansas team was beaten 42–⁠0 by Michigan State last week. Carnegie Tech held them to 1913 victory, and need l remind you that the N. Y. Uers beat Tech last week, 25–⁠6. OF course, these figures may mean no more than football figures usually do which is practically Moth ing; but they do give you pause in estimating the teams greatness at this moment Down in the Southwest, Rice plays Southern Methodist. This ought to be a whale Of a football game, the result of which will come close to determining the champion Of the COW country. Neither team has been beaten. Rice has had the stifTest competition coming up to tomorrows test and that probably is as good reason as any other for pick ing en- to win. Rice started its season by taking on and beating Louisiana State in its very first game, which may give you a faint idea Of the kind of football they play. Vandy Too Tough Here in town the big game will be between Fordham and Wander bilt and the SouthernerS look like the choice. They were beaten in the last five minutes Of play by Temple last week, but most of the critics felt the result would have been reversed on a dry field. The game was played in a steady doWnpour and under the lights-Which in itself was a new adventure for Morrison 5 men. Vanderbilt showed a fine pair Of ends in Geny and Plasman and a rugged, energetic center in Hinkle, who spent most of the evening sit ting in the highly touted Smukler’s face, a performance which may have lacked a certain artistic appeal but which was warmly &C. claimed by the Southern cohorts just the same. Fordham goes into the game lit orally without a passing attack. which in these days and times is akin to going into the prize ring without a pair of fists. In three games the New Workers have thrown twenty passes for an aggregate gain of Just three yards.
