v Woa N Pegp SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO D C., Hot Grid Tilts Due in East Tomorrow : Wildcats, CLOSELY MATCHED BLEVENS 10 CLASH Ouly Optimist Would Dare Pfek Winners of Leading @ames of Section, BY WALTER TRUMBULL. EW YORK, October 9.— There could be no finer example of an optimist than the man who thinks he could pick all the winning foot ball teams this week. There are half a dozen games in the East that can go either way as easily as a pendulum, ‘Take & look at some of them. How can any dopester be sure of the victor In such contests as those between Yale and Georgia, Princeton and Brown, New York University and Georgetown, Dart- mouth and Holy Cross, Colgate and La- fayette, Penn State and Temple, Car- negie Tech and Georgia Tech, Villanova and Duke, Pittsburgh and West Yirginia, Army and Michigan State or Navy and Maryland? Some of these games probably will be won by decisive scores, but there is scarcely one on the list which might not | conceivably go either W: A victory by any one of the teams which looks a bit less strong than its opponent would be the gentlest type of an upset. Georgia is Favored. Georgia has formed somewhat of & habit of beating Yale and last year should have won by a greater score than it did. This season the Southern- ers have practically a veteran outfit. If anything it is stronger, yet we can not overlook the fact that Yale, too, should be more_powerful, especially on the of- fense. But, the Blue having changed its attack, it is a bit early for the new system to be working smoothly. Georgia, therefore, on the advance dope, is the logical winner. Brown beat Princeton last Autumn by the margin of a touchdown. The Provi- dence University is probably better than last year and Princeton is a team with a new coach. Nevertheless, the Tigers | have shown signs of having gpod ma- | terial and an offense with a punch in it. | Guessing as to Grid Winners | In Leading Tilts Tomorrow EAST. Yale-Georgia: On paper Geargia figures to march through New Haven, but the Blue has Booth and Taylor. Princeton-Brown: Brown has just recovered its best fullback, but the ‘Tigers should win » hard game. Brown won last year. New York University-Georgetown: Georgetown always has been tough for N. Y. U. and has a fine team. New York has a shade, but a Georgetown victory ‘would be no upset, and those who follow a hunch will play it. Navy-Maryland: Maryland expects & naval reduction, but the Middies should come safe to port. Carnegie Tech-Georgla Tech: Carnegie is the technical choice. Army-Michigan State: This is sham battle. Army may win the war, but State is a strong opponent. Colgate-Lafayette: Strong as Lafayette is, Colgate looks stronger. Dartmouth-Holy Cross: Dartmouth looks too strong even for those Holy Cross_tackles. Pittsburgh-West Virginia: Two fine teams meet here, Pittsburgh should win. Penn State-Temple: Temple is powerful and should finish in front. Villanova-Duke: Villanova looks strong enough to avenge last year's defeat. Harvard-New Hampshire: A game to train Harvard backs as marathon runners. The Crimson should not win by more than 40 points. Pennsylvania-Franklin Marshall: Another track meet, with Penn scoring the points. % bComell-R.(chmond: Cornell is taking the same chance a lion takes with a amb, Columbia-Wesleyan: Wesleyan has played Columbia some good games, but this is not likely to be one of them. Columbia is too strong. ‘Williams-Bowdoin: A tie game last season, but this year Williams should win. Syracuse-Ohio Wesleyan: Syracuse should take this one. Buffalo-Alfred: Alfred should beat a Buffalo team battered by Dartmouth. Bucknell-Albright: Bucknell looks too strong for this opponent. Lehigh-Johns Hopkins: A good game, with Lehigh a bit the better. ‘Washington & Jefferson-Marshall: Washington should be able to win here with no help from Jefferson. W. and J. by a sizable score. Colby-Tufts: This was a close game last year. Tufts should win. Rochester-Hamilton: Rochester should take this contest. Union-Amherst: Ambherst looks like the stronger team, Rutgers-Springfield: This appears to be a good game, Rutgers should man- age to finish in front. {FINE TEAMS MEET 14 Connecticut Aggies-Maine: If Connecticut wishes to prove its superiority to,) Maine, this looks like its chance. It has a shade in the dope. Trinity-Worcester: Trinity might square last year's defeat. Ursinus-Dickinson: Ursinus has a fine team and looks the winner. Providence-Vermont: Providence should provide itself with a victory. Swarthmore-Washington: As long as Washington is not accompanied by Jefferson, Swarthmore should win in fairly easy style. Gettysburg-Mount Saint Mary: Gettysburg should win. SOUTH. Alabama-Mississipp! A. & M.—AJbama easily. Kentucky-Washington and Lee—The Blue Grass boys look better. Clemson-North Cirolina State—Clemson has slight edge. South Carolina-L. S. U—L. S. U. should win. North Carolina-Florida—Toss-up. ‘Tennessee-Mississippi—Tennessee, Sewanee-Virginia—Virginia, Navy-Maryland—Maryland. Vanderbilt-Ohio State—Ohio's reserve strength gives her edge. Auburn-Wisconsin—Close game, with Wisconsin having better chance. MIDWEST. Notre Dame-Northwestern—Northwestern. The line should be about even, but Rentner should be most dangerous man on the field. Purdue-Illinois—Purdue’s veteran line-up should be ahead of Ilini sopho- mores at this stage of season. Michigan-Chicago—Michigan. Wolverines have all-around superiority, but IN MIDWEST FRAY BY RALPH CANNON. HICAGO, October 9.—Re- newing a feud that has been building up intermit- tently since 1920, with ac- cumulating intensity, Notre Dame and Northwestern, both with large, polished and complete Call FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1931, SPORIS.

All in all, Princeton appears to have the edge. New York University and Georgetown should offer one of the best struggles of the week. New York could win last year only by virtue of a safety touch- down. Chick Meehan has a wealth of material this season, and thinks his | team is & lot stronger, but Georgetown's | game against Western Maryland shows the former eleven's power. 1f New York wins it probably will be because of more reserve strength. Holy Cross a Threat. Dartmouth, as a general thing, might be regarded as too strong for Holy Cross, and may prove to be exactly that. There is a lot of rugged material at Hanover. But it happens this season that Holy Cross has a stalwart line and some fast backs. Here again reserve strength may tell the story. ‘They think at West Point that Army is stronger than it has been in years. It will have to be plenty powerful to beat Michigan State. Jimmy Crowley has drilled a foot ball team. The cadets will have to play smarter foot ball against this outfit than they showed last Saturday. they are going to have an unpleasant | afternoon. Maryland has been looking forward to its game with Navy, and doing so with the idea of putting the middies on the rocks. Navy may catch a tartar in Maryland, but Navy is the logical choice. Harvard, Pennsylvania, Cornell, Wash- ington-Jefferson and perhaps Columbia should get a lot of exercise lugging the | ball over the goal line. None of these ipstitutions is in much more danger of defeat than Max Schmeling would be fr‘zm a grammar school boxing cham- plon. , (Copyright. 1931, by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)

Chasing Pigskins PRINCETON, N. J—Capt. Yeckley and Bales. both injured last Saturday in the Amherst game, have returned to the Princeton line-up. Many changes have been made in the line-up, Wister | replacing Johnston at end, Lane re- placing Garrett at tackle, Kellogg tak- ing Hinman's place at center and Le recently promoted from the scrubs, going into the backfield. NEW HAVEN, Conn.—Yale took yes- terday’s rain as a good opportunity for practice at handling a wet ball. The Elis wound up the week's hard work with a long scrimmage. Coach Stevens said the team which started against Maine will face Georgia except for the substitution of Strange for Tyson. CAMBRIDGE, Mm.—levlrJB Var- sity ran through a scrimmage with the scrubs yesterday and looksd strong, al- though the Crimson has been limited to a half dozen plays for tomorrow's game with New Hampshire.
