SPORTS. YALE-DARTMOUTH BATTLE SHOULD BE 50-50 AFFAIR Navy Is Given Edge on Penn, Cornell Rates to Down Columbia, Penn State to Defeat Lafayette With N. Y. U. Favored Over Colgate. ) BY W. W. ROPER. HE principal games in the East this irday are Yale-Dart- mouth, Navy-Penn, Cornell- Columbia, Penn _State-Lafa ette and N. Y. U.-Colgat The Yale-Dartmouth and Navy-Penn battles will draw the largest crowd: and probably will be the closes fought. Yale came through the Army game without Injuries and showed powe: ¢ Dartmouth ran up a big score against Harvard, but that does not mean great deal, as Harvard has not shown very much so far The New Haven meeting will be a close game, with lots of action, and it is hard to pick the winner. S might choose Dartmouth on ps formances, but Yale has d a much harder schedule and is there- fore better prepared. Dartmouth Not Tested. Yale has had two real tests, against the Army and Georgia, while Dart- mouth has not been tested. I doubt it Dartmouth has a back of the all- around abilit ldwell. The game will be & thriller, with honors about even, so far as I can see. 1f Scull and Brill will give the Navy favor the Navy be Middies are in better physical condi- tion. I dom’t think Penn has had time to recover from the effects of the Chicago trip. It is not easy to travel to Chicago and back one week, and be ready to d game the next week. Penn has an impossible sched ule from a team development stand- point. Columbla pls \ Cornell in ITthaca. T favor Cornell by a close score. The Princeton game showed Dobie his weakness on attack and defense, and he has no doubt polished them off. Cornell has a fine backfield, with Beck- a splendid ball carri The Cornell ae attack is beau- ) tifully devised and well executed. Against Princeton the Cornell kicking game was none too strong, due to some extent to faulty protection on punts, This can be remedied easily Real Test for Army. Penn State to date has a more im- pressive record than Lafayette. Mec- Cracken, the Lafayette coach, has material. I favor State. should defeat Colgate. West Point will have a real test against Bucknell. The Army is a mighty hard nut to crack on its own grounds. While the soldiers haven't gotten together yet, they are a team of real possibil with a great back- field. I look to see Army win. Harvard plays Indiana in its second { intersectional contest. The Hoosiers' record against Minnesota and Notre Dame gives them an even chance to| win, If Brown doesn’t snap out of its slump it is likely to have a real game with Temple. Temple was a disap- pointment against Dartmouth, but this was its first big game and the Philadelphians went up in the air. They are out to retrieve themselves against Brown. Brown has some re- trieveing to do, also. I doubt if Teple can win, but the game may be elose, An intersectional game of interest will be between Syracuse and Ne- braska. Neither is quite up to last vear's standard, but both elevens have possibilities. We probably will get a breathing 'spell at Princeton before the Ohio State game, though William and Mary is an unknown quantity. In the Middle West the game of the day will be the Illinois-Michigan battle at Urbana. Both teams have been developing rapidly. Both play their hardest in this game. All I can say is that the game will be very close. Chicago’s Good Showing. Minnesota should defeat Wisconsin a small score. Wisconsin is im- proving, but I doubt if the Wisconsin line is rugged enough to stop the Min- nesota backs. Minnesota has not en- tirely lived up to early season expec- tatiens, though it looked strong against Towa. Chicago's showing against Penn and Purdue makes the Ohio State game ¢an almost even proposition, though I favor Ohio to win by a close score un- less Chicago gets going. Northwestern meets Missouri, the a| | strongest team in the Valley Conter. ence. The big ten teams are just |a step or so ahead of the Valley | eleven, but not enough to prevent this game from being a close one, with the odds in favor of Northwestern. | “Georgia Tech looks stronger than | for a couple of Alexander has a young, enthusiastic aggregation, | mostly sophomores.

If California can defeat Howard | Jones' team, it has a splendid chance | for champlonship honors. California, |after a disastrous season last Fall, | has made a splendid comeback. While | the game should be close, I believe | | California_will win. | | Stanford meets Oregon at Palo Alto. To date, Oregon has not shown enough strength to warrant its defeating Stanford. ‘Warner's teams have al great way of coming through in an | emergency.

Besides serving as assistant foot ball coach at Syracuse this Fall and going South for a tryout with the Yankees next Spring, Hanson will play basket ball with the Cleveland Rosenblums this Winter. WOMEN | IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIER. UNIOR-SENIOR co-ed hockey players of George Washington University defeated the fresh- man eleven, 4 to 1, in the sec- ond game of the interclass series on the Ellipse field yesterday. The first-year team was the first to score, and led, 1 to 0, until late in the first half, when the winners evened the count, Alice Graham adding an- other counter shortly afterward to place the upper classmen ahead. The | victors registered their final two goals in the second hall. Miss Margaret Craig, director of the Business High Night School free gym- nasium classes for women, has an- nounced that more than 40 are en- rolled. Classes are held Monday and Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. Registration for the work, which includes gymnas- tics, folk dancing, organized games and basket ball, will remain open all season. All girls and women not en- rolled in a day school are eligible. Bright Despite Heavy Losses ESPITE the loss of crack per- formers, it appears that Georgetown University is in for a highly successful track season. Though the Blue and Gray’s first meet is more than two gnonths off, Coach John D. O'Reilly s sending a squad of upward of 50 through a daily drill on the Hilltop. Much talent is available from last year's second-stringers and there is at hand a group of last year's fresh- men who have proved their ability. Karl Wildermuth, sensational so- phomore sprinter last season, will be counted upon heavily this campaign. He appears even better than last sea. son. . Though Jimmie Burgess and Eddle Swinburne, memb of the crack mile relay, have been graduated, Capt. Ray Whelan and Eddie O'Shea remain from that combination, and with a number of clever sophomores and freshmen from last season at hand it 3s hoped that a capable four can be developed. Whelan, however, has been hurt agd may not be available for the indoor season.

Jay Julicher, Jerry Gorman and Dan Hennessy are other available half-milers. In the fleld events the Blue and Gray also will be strong. Creth Hines, intercollegiate javelin champion; Dave Adelman, crack weight thrower; Fred Wiesner, pole vaulter and high Jumper; Leo Sexton, discus thrower and high Jumper and Joe Shevlin, broad jumper, comprise the fine material at hand. Karl Wildermuth also is a clever broad jumper, but is expected to con- fine his efforts to the sprints. In the hurdles, too, the Blue and Gray probably will be formidable.

This strategy was carried out to such a degree that the French dou- bles pair, Borotra and Brugnon, con- ceded slight chance of victory, went into their challenge round match at | Philadelphia with final instructions to | end the match to five sets, at ail costs, so that Tilden would be “soft-| ened up” for the battle he lost to Rene La Coste on the final day. The inside story of France's vic- torious quest for tennis laurels is told for the first time by M. Pierre Gillou, captain of the French team. Pub: lished in the current issue of Ameri- can Lawn Tennis, as translated from the French publication, Tennis et folf, it reveals the thoroughness and foresight behind the invasion that overthrew America’'s seven-year ten-| nis dynasty. Not Afraid of Johnston. Satisfied that “‘Little Bill” Johnston, “only a shadow of his former self,” was not seriously to be reckoned with, M. Gillou emphasizes that “it was therefore more and more against Til- den that we had to direct our attack.” The French strategy, the captain explains, was aimed at “harassing for three consecutive days the principal American attacker,” a plan that was aided by the luck of the draw, pitting ‘Tilden first against Cochet and against the French ace, La Coste, on the final day. “When our doubles team entered the stadium,” M. Gillou wrote, “my last recommendation was: ‘Put all your forces to work so that this game last the five sets.’ Because in my inner consciousness I could not believe that we would win the doubles. “The doubles were therefore lost, but Borotra and Brugnon had done their duty valiantly. On Friday evening, Tilden had nine sets in his legs, and he carried the heavy load of these nine sets the next day against La- coste.” Commenting on Lacoste’s flawless strategym stroking and defensive play in defeating Tilden the French team captain remarks: “One may say that it is Lacoste's back stroke which has made him the greatest player on earth and which won the Davis Cup.” Tracing events leading up to the Davis Cup challenge round, M. Gillou P.S.

The day before the batile (at Phila- delphia) he was very calm, wrote M. Gillou. *“No nervousn but a reason- able confidence. Lacoste took cham- pagne with his dinner, Cochet slept, £ Borot telephoned.’ paying tribute to the “grea of the soul of Tilden in defeat, illou es to the incidents of demonstrations during the ding Cochet-Johnston match with comment: “Let it be well understood that I do not protest against the attitude of the public—doubtless in our country it would have been even more noisy; I simply point out how difficult it was r?!' Cochet to play under those condi- tions and the merit which is due him for retaining’ his moral and coolness intact to the end.” . MISS WILLS PLACED AT TOP BY EXPERTS| By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 28.—There is no disagreement among tennis experts in ranking Helen Wills at the top of the world’s first 10 in women's ranks, but there the accord largely ends. The rating of Big Bill Tilden, for- mer American champion, and S. Wal- lis Myers, noted British critic, differ widely, although the same 10 players are included in both lists. Both rate Senorita de Alvarez of Spain second, but Betty Nuthall, the glish schoolgirl star, is placed fourth by Tilden and sixth by Myers. As published by American Lawn Tennis, Myers' rankings are: Helen Wilis, Senorita Elia de Al- varez, Elizabeth Ryan, Mrs. Molla Mailory, Mrs. Kitty McKane Godfree, Betty Nuthall, E. L.

HOCKEY STAI.R SLATED TO TAKE UP BASE BALL MONTREAL, Quebec, October 28 (P). —The Montreal Gazette today says that Arthur Ross, manager of the Boston Bruins in the National Hockey League, is expected to play base ball with the Boston Braves next season. “Last Summer Charles Adams, own- er of the Boston Hockey Club, bought a large interest in the Boston Braves, and it is_understood that he is keen to have Ross take up base ball with the Braves,” says the Gazette. WO00DS SEEMS FULL OF GOOD BASKETERS Although Rusty Saunders, scoring ace; Elmer Ripley, veteran guard, and Red Conaty, forward, have come to terms, news of the contract trouble between the Washington basket ball club and several of its star players has reached other cities and resulted in a flood of letters and telegrams to Owner George P.
