  Saturday, DuC IOuf DattleS = west, southwest and far west share of the days gridir0n d In the east Yale meets Navy at New Haven before an expected crowd of 50,000. In the midwest Notre Dame bat ties Pittsburgh at South Bend be- fore 8 probable crowd of 50,000. In the southwest Southern Metho- dist clashes with rice at Dallas be- fore capacity crowd of 25,000. In the west Washington State plays Washington at Pullman be- fore an anticipated crowd of 30,000. Important. Conference. Sectional, National, and even Rose Bowl hopes, will be at stake i’m those four games-One of the fanciest mid- October pro- grams of many 8 year. The nation al champion might possibly emerge. Yale’s spectacular comeback in crushing Pennsylvania last week, 31–⁠20, after trailing 20–⁠6 late in the second period, has made the Ellis slight favorites over the Middies. Navy put on comeback of its own last week when the Midshipmen wiped up TO deficit to trim Vir- ginia, 26–⁠7. The broken field running of two brilliant Sophomores, Albert Hess berg of Albany, N. Y., and Clinton Frank of Evanston, Ill.,, and the pass-catching of wise-cracking Larry Kelley features Yale’s wide-open attack, which has scored 65 points in two games. Navy, with Young Teah, has started slowly, beating w. and M, 30–⁠0, and Merger, 27–⁠0, in addition to Virginia. “Shoot The Works” Notre Dame, seeking revenge for three straight shutouts by Pitt, will take off the wraps against Jock Sutherland’s young and untried Partners. The Irish are top-heavy with high-class backs, but the lnie play has been spotty in beating Kanas, 28–⁠7, Carnegie Tech, 14–⁠3, and Wisconsin, 27–⁠0. The loss of a regular tackle, John Michuta, for the remainder of the season came at an inopportune time for the Irish. Dr. Sutherland himself predicts de- feat for Pitts. The winner of this game will go a long way in the na- tional championship battle. Down in Dallas Southern Metho- dist, which leads the nations major teams in scoring, with 148 points, will attempt to upset Rice, last years Southwest Conference cham pion. The Mutangs, under their new coach, Matty Bell, have bowled over Denton Teachers, 39–⁠0, Austin Col lege, 60–⁠0, Tulsa, 14–⁠0, and Wash ington U. (St. Louis), 36–⁠6. Rice has beaten Louisiana State, 10–⁠7, Du- quesne, 27–⁠7, and Creighton, 14–⁠0, in three intersectional games. The Owls, featuring their two all-Amer- ican halfback candidates, Bill Wal lace and John McCauley, are fav- oped. State Special The winner of the Washington Washington State brawl on the coast will be serious contender for the Pacific coast title. Last year they battled to bruising scoreless tie. They appear to be as evenly matched again this year, with touchdown or less likely to decide the winner. Washington has beaten Idaho, 14–⁠0, and Santa Clara, 23–⁠6, the latter a notable victory. Wash ington State holds a 46–⁠6 victory over Puget Sound, 33–⁠0 win over Willamette and a 13–⁠7 triumph over Montana.
