  Nations College Gon ses Will Swing Into High Gear Saturday Afternoon CuroIinu And Georgia In One Of Top TiIfs new ork, Oct. l-(APJ-Penn States mythical eastern cls n pions, all-victorious in l947, make their 1913 debut tomorrow on a national collegiate football program which also brings several other major elevens in to action for the first time this season. Four ivy league clubs Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton and defending champion Pennsylvania-make their initial appear ance, as much as two weeks behind some of the squads in other parts of the land. Although they have yet to be tested under fire, the Nittany Lions of Penn State, who capped their great 1947 season b y playing Southern Methodist to a tie in the Cotton Bowl game, APP pear to have the easiest assign ment in this group.

Harward, now operating under a new coaching regime, entertains a Columbia team which stopped Rutgers, 27–⁠6, last week. And Princeton opens at home against Brown, beaten last week by Yale. Probably the top intersection al battle on tomorrow card will be the tussle at Ann Arbor between Michigan, the big nine and Rose Bowl champion, and Ore gon, which has hopes of representing the Pacific Coast in the Rose Bowl next new years day. Southern California also in vades Ohio State for another intersectional headliner and Purdue, loser by a single point to Notre Dame last week, goes into northwestern for an important big nine conference argument. Most of the interest in Dixie will be concentrated for the day in Georgia. Georgia Tech, IA vored to win the Southeastern Conference title and 1870 winner over Vanderbilt last week, will be at home in Atlanta against a Tulane team that seems to be going places after slipping past Alabama, 21–⁠14. At the same time in Athens, the university of Georgia Bull dogs will be testing the pride of the Southern Conference, a North Carolina poWerhouse which wal loped Texas, 34–⁠7.
