SP ORTS THE EVENING STAR D. C., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, Gridiron Teams in East Appear to Be Well Matched for Important Contests MANY TILTS LOOM AS EVEN CONTESTS Cornell, Penn, Holy Cross and Several Others to Face Stern Foes. BY WALTER TRUMBULL. EW YORK, October 30— There are a number of foot | ball games in the East| this Saturday which, be-| fore the teams take the field, loom | as pretty even contests. Among these are the meetings between Cornell and Columbia, Pennsyl- vania and Lafayette, Holy Cross and Brown, Syracuse and Michi- gan State, Rutgers and Delaware and Bucknell and Villanova. In the ordinary course of events, the Cornell-Columbia game should be close. Cornell, with its well balanced team, must be given the edge. but it | would be no surprise to see Columbia | win. Lou Little has built up a strong defense and even such backs as Vivi- ano, Ferraro and Kline are no better than Hewitt and Montgomery. Dobie has great respect for the latter as a ball carrier. Still, Cornell is the bet- ter bet. Pennsylvania showed great power against Wisconsin, and Lafayette not only held Colgate to 16 points, but smothered Washington-Jeflerson. If Penn wins this one, even Notre Dame might feel a bit apprehensive, and most of us believe Penn should win. Holy Cross did well against Ford- ham, but Brown will fight to retain its position among the unbeaten teams. Brown started the season with in- experienced team, but it has steadily shown progress. Holy Cross will enur‘ the game favorite, but may be in for & busy afternoon. Syracuse, another unbeaten team, ( faces nmn; ition in Michigan State. When 3 cuse, m Vic Hanson's puplls look better ever. But Army claims that M!r.hlnn Stafe has a strong outfit. y-rwuulnon-hltmvncn but_will ;\nvewlouwn:peed finish in ront. Rutgers should not find Delaware easy, and the Bucknell-Villanova game should be flercely fought. Bucknell, with its powerf\ line, appears the winner, but it will have to look qut for passes. In the intersectional games, Notre Dame seems too powerful for Carnegie Tech and Michigan too strong for| Princeton. Purdue beat Carnegie, and s0 did Washington and Jefferson. Play- ing as it did inst Pittsburgh, Notre Dame should win by a sizable score. 1t is hard to see that Princeton has a chance against n. In the games lost to Brown, Cornell and Navy the ‘Tigers scored a total of 7 points. Mich- igan, on the other hand, found itself against Ilinois and might have a fleld day against Princeton. e Yale-Dartmouth game is always a well played contest, but, this season, the Blue appears to have far the stronger team. If Yale plays as ‘zll as it did against Army, and makes bit better use of opportunities, lt s‘l’)uld win by a wide margin, spite of the fact that Southern Cal!fo.t- defeated Oregon a score of 53 to 0, New York University cannot afford to take this game too lightly. Overconfidence never scored many touchdowns. and you must remember that Oregon beat Washington and will be in shape for this contest. But ‘ork looks much the better on pa- per and should look better on the fleld. (Copyrish, 1831 by, the Nopth American lewspaper Alliance, QHIMWMWWIH“IMH“HMHM: e 4-Pass.

BY WILLIAM WEEKES, Assccisted Press Sporis W: HICAGO, October 30 —Three more Big Ten foot ball teams, Minnesota, Wisconsin and In- diana, will reach the cross- road of the championship season to- morTow. | The three, with Northwestern, have | not been defeated in Big Ten competi- tion, although Indiana has a scoreless | tie with Iowa on its books, and if they run according to predictions there wul‘ be anly two teams left in the select cir- | sln after tomorrow’s chores have been jone. Minnesota and Wisconsin meet at Minneapolis in the top game of the conference schedule. and appear soO evenly matched predictions on the out- come ere few and conservative. Both have good backfields, but the Wisconsin line, playing as it did against Purdue, may be the margin of difference. NDIANA must meet Ohio State, and the Buckeyes will enter the battle with a big edge. Indiana walloped Chicago's weak outfit, 32 to 6, last week, but was unable to score on Iowa the | week before. Ohio had power enough to hold Northwestern's powerful Wild- cats w&lnpomu last Saturday and fig- Nmmhm will be after its third straight victory over Illinois at Evan- ston, and ly will get it without much trouble. The Wildcats will be in even better physical condition than they were last week against Ohio, while Illinois has shown little improvemen The Illini, who have lacked speed, especially in the line, are wishing for a wet day, figuring rain will be more of & handicap to the Wildcats than to themselves. URDUE is prinfed for a big scoring | effort against Chicago, aiming at 40 or more points. The Maroons' mhopu is to score on the Boiler- counting against all Big Ten opponents this season to date.

A South Atlantic League battle be- tween Apaches and Mohawks, arch | foes, in Griffith Stadium, and a flock of games in the various loops of the Capital City League are on the list. n form the Hawks should win from the Apaches. They defeated the re- organized St. Mary's Celtics, who pre- viously had walloped Apaches, 32 to 3. That comparative scores mean little, however, when these old enemies come to grips often has been demonstrated in previous year. Apaches defeated the | Hawks last year. Apaches are drilling in Griffith Sta- dium under the lights, while the Hawks have been toiling at the Navy Yard. Bud Lonestar, Indian, who played at a guard post last season for the Has- kell Institute eleven, has been signed | by Apaches and likely will be in the starting line-up Sunday.

Potomac Jug Not “Brown Jug,” Just Jug So Michigan Still Seeks Goplier Game TropHy Now That Vessel Found Is Branded Emitation. By the Associated Press. NN ARBOR, October 30.—The “Little Brown Jug,” prised University of Michigan foot ball trophy, awarded to the victors in Michigan-Minnesota foot h-ll games for 28 years, still is miss- Bludenu who believed the jug found after an energetic search re- ceived a shock when Franklin Cap- pon of the Michigan coaching staft pronounced the find an imitation. “This,” sald Cappon, viewing the find, is just another jug. “It's not ‘the’ jug.” The jug found was painted to re- semble the original. but the paint- ing was crudely done. And so the search began again. The jug has never missed its place on the side- lines of a Michigan-Minnesota game in 28 years, and the Minnesota game is November 21 this year. Students belleve a plot is afoot. Sheriff Jacob B. Andrews of Wash- tenaw County, has been asked to aid in the search for the trophy. MINNEAPOLIS, October 30 (#). —Minnesota students today were sad because of the disappearance of the “Little Brown Jug” at Michi- gan, but none was 80 sad as Oscar Munson, who Auflod the trophy tradition 28 years ago.

When we were down there in 1929 both foot ball teams sat down at dinner together with the jug on display right in the center of the dining room. Even then among friends they hnd a couple of guards watching it.” Munson found the homely water container in a locker room used by the Micl foot blll team l"/e!
