SEVERAL UPSETS ARE EXPECTED New York. Nov. 22.—W.R>—If the theory is true that top football form can't he maintained over two stinight Saturdays against formidable foes, three highly rated elevens - Carnegie Tech, Nebraska and Princeton have their first defeats of the season awaiting them on eastern gridirons Saturday. Psychology points to victoiles for New York university over Carnegie Tech at Pittsburgh. Army over Nebraska at West Point. Navy over Princeton at Philadelphia and Harvard over Yale at New Haven. Carnegie Tech, Nebraska, Princeton and Yale had hard games last week. The Tartans undoubtedly played their best game of the year in beating Notre name. 27 to 7. Princeton called on all its resources to defeat Yale. 12 to 2. Nebraska struggled its mightiest to hold Pittsburgh to a scoreless tie. Yale played its self out in a futile first quaiter drive against the Tigers. The opposition conserved its strength for more important games this Saturday. N. Y. U. won without effort from Misouri. Army rested its regulars against Carleton college. Navy had a romp in downing Loyola < Balti- ( more). Harvard, with Capt. Art French on the sidelines, allowed Holy Cross to get away with a scoreless tie. It ever four teams were pointed for crucial games, N. Y. I'.. Army, Navy ami Harvard are hypothetically at the peak for this week's games. But in these football days, a blocked kick, a fumbled ball, a long run on pass can destroy weeks of planning. About the best way for any good football team to bring the wrath of the gridiron gods down on it is to covet the mythical national football championship or an undefeated season., Defeats for Carnegie Tech and Princeton (tied twice, would leave Boston college as the east's only major unbeaten team. Boston college has a “set-up" Saturday in the Connecticut Aggies, hut may encounter trouble against Holy Cross Saturday, December 1. - Fast Pro Football Teams To Meet At Van Wert Cleveland Panther professional foot-1 ball team of Cleveland.

Trick Passes In Ohio’s Attack «..(* — Cn: \ z ® \ / < X By Sid Metzger Dr. Jack Wilce, Ohio State's coach, slugs his swan song to football day after tomorrow at Urbana, when his team plays Bob Zuppke's Illinois eleven. a game that will have its bearing on the Mid-West Conference title race. Naturally, Wilce will want to make his farewell an impressive one. Rumor has It Illinois has the edge. But i you never can tell. Wilce pulls some great passes in the natute cf surprise plays. It would not surpt ise me to see him work one at the start of the game Saturday, a play calculated to upset the calm poise of little Napoleon Zuppke’s veterans. Wellington did it against the -ilginal Napoleon, so Jack has a good example to follow. One such play all but caught Illinois napping the last game Grange' played in for that institution. At the start of it, after receiving the kick-off Wilce's team lined up aparently to punt. Illinois fell for it. Both Ohio's ends went teraing down filed as though to ccver the kick. The right end got by. A long pass was thrown to him by No. 3. The rub in that game was that the end had to come back to take it. Had it been longer a score would have resulted on the first play. Lc.k out Bob Zuppke, things like that may happen Saturday and all your good work came to naught as a result! | Tomorrow —Yale’s bucking game for i Hi-.rvard. Hew is a kick blocked? In throwing foiward pass how is ball held to gain i best results? Sounds simple, yet, there I it a right an da wrong way. These and many other questions are answered in Metzger's “Football Secrets’*.
