FIVE FUTURE CRIMSON RIVALS FACE CAPABLE OPPOSITION TOMORROW

PRINCETON PLAYS COLGATE, DARTMOUTH FACES MIDDLEBURY

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Five of the Crimson's future opponents will face strong teams tomorrow in encounters which should foretell what strength the coming visitors to the Stadium will possess against the University. Yale, faces Iowa, Princeton meets Colgate, Dartmouth tackles Middlebury, Brown invades Syracuse and Centre journeys to Virginia Polytechnic Institute.

The intersectional contest between Iowa and the Elis in the Bowl will attract the most interest. Iowa, coached by Howard Jones, a brother of T. A. D. Jones of Yale, was not only undisputed champion of the Big Ten last season, but won the western title as well. Seven veterans from last year's winning team will form the backbone of the Hawkeye attack tomorrow and the four remaining positions will be filled by experienced men.

Yale will be called upon to combat a forward pass attack said to be equal to that developed by any eleven in years. In addition to the aerial plays, the Iowa team possesses in Captain Gordon Locke a line plunger who should worry the Yale defence.

Veterans in Iowa Line

The Eli eleven will have no advantage in weight as the Hawkeye line from tackle to tackle will average over 193 pounds, all five of these players being veterans of two years' experience.

Parkin, the Iowa quarterback, with his lengthy punts-should help materially in keeping the play in the Yale territory.

Coach T. A. D. Jones, on the other hand, will be handicapped by the loss of O'Hearn and Becket, both of whom are at present on the injured list and will probably not get in to tomorrow's game.

Princeton like wise faces a strong eleven tomorrow when Colgate invades Palmer Stadium. The Tigers have been drilled during the week especially on defensive tactics and their play tomorrow is expected to show marked improvement over last Saturday when they barely defeated Virginia 5 to 0 with a drop-kick and a safety.

With Dartmouth coming to the Stadium two weeks from tomorrow, their play against Middlebury will be of marked interest to Crimson followers.

Dartmouth Has Full Strength

It is expected that Middlebury will present about the same strength as they showed at the opening game of the season against the University, whereas Dartmouth will possess its full strength for the first time this season.

The showing of the Green team in its first two encounters has not been up to expectations although it proved that Dartmouth has sufficient reserve power in the way of dependable substitutes. This week's practice has shown much improvement in team-work, especially on the offence.

The new Dartmouth formation calls for a combined carrier, kicker, and passer far behind the line to be used as a "triple threat". From all appearances Coach Cannell has succeeded in developing three men for this berth all of whom should be in excellent shape for the game in the Stadium on October 28.

Centre Coming East

Centre College left Danville yesterday on its eastern invasion, journeying first to Virginia to meet the Virginia Polytechnical eleven tomorrow.

It is expected that the Colonels will overcome the Southern attack and continue their string of victories. Having scored 148 points so far this season with their own goal line still uncrossed, Centre will probably face the Crimson this year with a still greater record than last year when they had totalled 154 points against their opponents 6 before the Cambridge encounter. If the Centre team lives up to expectations tomorrow. Captain Roberts slogan of "point-a-minute Centre" will be more than fulfilled to date this season.

Brown Meets Syracuse

Brown faces tomorrow one of the strongest teams on its schedule with Syracuse journeying to 'Providence. Coach Robinson of Brown will use a team composed of eleven letter-men, mostly of two-years' experience. With such a vetern team he has been able to get down to mid-season work and a diversity of formations not before used this season are expected. The Brown line has shown exceptional good defence work in the early games, but the backfield has at times lacked a continuous punch. Tomorrow's encounter will thoroughly test their offensive power and show what strength they will bring to the Stadium on November 18.
