Gonzaga and Catholic University freshmen will meet at foot ball in the C. U. Stadium Priday afternoon in- stead of on the Gonzaga Field, as origi- nally scheduled.

It will be a gala day in Lexington with the inauguration of Dr. Prancis Pendleton Gaines as the president of Washington and Lee. More than a score of college presidents, educators, | editors, political chieftains, etc., have | signified their intention of being at the | inaugural ceremonies Saturday morn- ing and over for game land Pollard, Governor of Virginia, and Dr. John 8.

In the afternoon the Generals will attempt to start things off right by smashing the Johnnies. That Wash- ington and Lee is offensively strong is undeniable, but it is the defense that has been bothering the coaches, and it will be this point that will be cor- rected during the week's training. —_— KENTUCKY PRIMING FOR VIRGINIA GAME Contender for Dixie Title Takes No Chances—Alabama and Vandy Hold Limelight.

AMES in which Yale, Har- vard and Princeton play this week headline the foot ball situation in the East. Chief interest is likely to center in the Yale-Army contest at New Haven,, with the Harvard- Dartmouth meeting at Cambridge standing next. The Army is said to have one of its greatest elevens and its main desire this season is to take the measure of Yale, while Dart- mouth has an opportunity to demonstrate greatness by con- tinuing what it began last Satur- day against Columbia. Princeton and Navy always fur- nish an attractive struggle, irre- spective of their showings against other big schools. Army has been pointing for Yale all Fall. It had rather win from the Dark Blue than from any other team on its schedule. As one Army man put it not long ago, “We took a fine sock on the chin last year from Yale and we do not mean to take another this time if we can help it; and we think we can.” The Army will go to New Haven expecting to beat Yale, as it feels that it has a stronger team. But the Army knows what Yale can do when Yale is fighting at its best, and, furthermore, Army knows Yale will be at its best Saturday afternoon. Last week the West Point team won from Harvard, and it would, indeed, be a great triumph for it to take the measure of Yale the following Saturday. It is'not often that any foot ball team has whipped Harvard one week and Yale the next. To do this, Army real- izes that it must center its attention on Booth, as he seems to be the spark- plug of the Yale eleven. With him Yale goes and without him Yale does not g0, and the inference is_that if Army stops Booth it will stop Yale. Dartmouth Is Strong. Dartmouth also is in a good position to earn a place in the sun, at least for the time being. The Green eleven star- tled the foot ball world last week by swam] Columbia, which was looked rn as lngne of the strong teams the wever, after Dartmouth that be, though, if Dartmouth gets away with the Crimson it will estab- lish itself among the best elevens in the East, which may not hold any longer than its game with Yale, as Dartmouth seems unable to do anything much in a foot ball way when it steps into the Yale Bowl. Princeton and Navy have taken whippings, but any game between them have fafled to accomplish against other schools. The contest is fast becoming one of those annual affairs that are looked forward to with earnestness by both schools and much “the” game to attend as some of the other big games in which old rivalries are the main attraction. ‘ Big Game at Pittsburgh. At any rtate, Yale, Harvard and Princeton hold the center of the stage this week. No other contests offer as much that is so generally attractive. However, from a strictly foot ball view- point, the game in Pittsburgh between Notre Dame and Pitt may develop bet- ter foot ball than will be seen in either of the games Yale, Harvard or Princeton is to play. Notre Dame's victory over Carnegie Tech shows the U tHe ] o ] ] ] ] ] ] o ] ] ] ] ]~ ] ] ] is attractive, no matter what they may | is between Stanford ai Florida’s Mascot Still Is Battling 'HICAGO, October %2 (#).—Flor- ida’s foot ball tecam apparently wasn't satisfied with clawing up the University of Chicago eleven on the fleld last Saturday. After the game, the Floridans left their pet alligator behind to carry on. The pet is 19 years old and has de- veloped a bad temper. No sooner was he presented to the acting Ma- roon captain, Andy Brislen, than he carried on by biting Andy's finger. Even Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg was threatened with a snap when he tried to make a friendly overture. So the pet is now caged in the Maroon dressing room while the somewhat fearful athletes await word on their proposal that an aquarium or zoo take the alligator off their hands. “He's a bad actor,” Coach Stagg said. “Maybe he thinks the Florida game 1s still on.” kind of a team it will take to the Smoky City, and Pittsburgh seldom is represented by an unworthy eleven. Last year the remark was made to the writer by a former foot ball man who saw both Pitt and Notre Dame play that “they may say what they please about Notre Dame, but I tell you that if it were to meet this Pitts- burgh eleven it would get whipped by two or three touchdowns.” Whether or not that holds good this year, in anybody’s opinion, still it probably is true that Pitts will give Notre Dame a real battle, maybe a far better one than Carnegie Tech did. For anybody to predict a Pittsburgh victory, after what happened last week, would prob- ably earn him a reputation for having brainstorms, but possibly such a predic- tion would not be so rattlebrained after all. Three other games are listed in the East that, as far as good foot ball is concerned, should develop plenty of it. Onme is the New York University- Fordham meeting in New York, anoth er the Penn State-Colgate setto and the other the Temple University-Villa- nova clash. Temple, judged by its de- feat of Washington and Jefferson, is not an eleven to be taken lightly, not by any means. Classic Battle in South. In the South what is likely to be the greatest game of the day, and possibly the greatest of the year, is that between Alabama and Vander- bilt. In lfterally crushing Tennessee, Alabama is said to have shown a power and versatility the equal of anything it possessed when it went to the Pacific Coast to triumph in na:h Tqu;nm:entl cu; Roses game. Anyway, there is not mt doubt that Vanderbilt, with the best team in its history, looks upon its con- test with Alabama as the most difficult it has to face and sees in Alabama its meeting. Georgia Tech’s contest with 'mhng,‘ Gwr?'- with Auburn and Virginia's | with Kentucky should be the best of the other .L-me-, In the Middle West, Michigan and Tlinois continue their great rivairy. Not only is there ris and Michigan, but also between Zuppke and Yost.

BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, October 22.—Knute Rockne's Notre Dame foot ball eleven makes its first sally of the season into the East next Saturday to battle the rugged Panthers of Pittsburgh.
