Tansey at guard and Coane at end are the regulars who will still be available when another season rolls around.

It appears that construction of the 1929 forward wall will not present the difficulties likely to be encountered in formation of a backfield capable of the work that will be required if Norwich football success is to continue.

Of the regular carriers. Quarterback Everett Wainintr alone will be on hand next fall. He can throw passes, but he cannot approach the ability of O'Donnell in this respect. Waining.

Ethan Allen Club Scores Team scores In the Ethan Allen Miles arid Perry Co. sity, the medics can see nothing but victory Saturday.

The medics are so cocksure of a victory that they are dividing their time between the grid-Iron sessions and the stunts pecrade with which they intend to while away the momenta before th game and between the halves.

by GRANTt AND RICE Harvard's Chance It has been quite a spelL as we recall the intimate details, since Harvard Owenized or Buellxed Yale. Quite a tpell. But Harvard feels that her turn has come and at least Harvard has a big chance. The Crimson team haa had a lot of stuff this season in spite of a record that isn't perfect, and at its best it ought to go a long way. There be any better backs on the New Haven field Saturday than Art French, If he Is in condition, and no better lineman than Red Barrett.

Harvard has more combined speed and strength than Yale has this year, however the gam may turn out. And Harvard can forget the Army and Pennsylvania games in a hurry if this Crimson team can check the Blue surf that haa been swamping Harvard so steadily for several years. There are a number of citizens who attempt to laugh off this idea of old Tivalry being more important than a season's play but why not? And that Is the way Harvard and Yale feel about it, after more than fifty years of battle. Few teams, almost none, that play a tough schedule' can win them all, anyway. Harvard hooked Yale fairly steadily from 1912 through 1922.

losing only one game durin that period. Or possibly two. Then Yale grabbed her turn in 1923. Whatever happens Harvard has her best chance in a long march to collect some of the repara- tlon. Not Over Yet When the Army schedule was announced it took no uncanny prophet to suggest that no team and no coach could move through that avalanche and remain unbeaten.

No team could be ready for Southern Methodist in early October and move on through Harvard. Yale, Notre Dame, Nebraska and Stan- ford. For it might be remembered that the Southern Methodist team of October 4 was stronger than Notre Dame at that same point. The Army had to be ready for a tough one when they were still playing baseball. It had to take at least one punch and the season-isn't over yet.

Not with Nebraska and Stanford left on the schedule. There are no more powerful teams in the game than these two. They have big lines and fast lines big backs and fast backs. The Army has had a better chance to rest up after the Notre Dame game while Nebraska has Just finished a hard scrap with Pittsburgh. But It will be hard work to slip by both or to crowd by either one.

The Army-Nebraska game should be one of the big features of the yar, one of the hardest games played. And Stanford a week away will be Just about the same. Beating Back Michigan started her season with four defeats before the rally came. After beating Illinois and tying a revived Navy team. Michigan now hopes to wipe out the October slate by tc3plrig Iowa in spite of McLaln, Olasgow and Pape.

It isn't likely there will be any better lineman on the field at Ann Arbor than Pommerening, the Michigan tackle. The Change at Prnceton Per the first time in a hatful of decades Princeton is still playing football with the Yale game over. The Navy, like Michigan, started her season with a string of de-. feats, and the Navy, like Michigan, hopes to clear up the atmosphere by taking her final battle. They always remember the last game longer than the early ones, so Navy and Michigan have a great chance to turn somewhat lumpy seasons into victory marches by beating Iowa and Princeton, two of the season's best.

The former two have more to gain than they have to lose, and this seems to be a big factor in the football of today. The Navy has a far better team now than It had a month ago. It has a fine lead, ably led by Captain Burke: fine guard, with a lot of high-grade backfield material in CUftson, Springs and others who are now near the peak. The loss of Fox, who promised to be one of the great backs of the year, was a killing October blow for Bill Ingram's team, but it has marched or sailed a long way since that early slump, The "Everything" Backs "How many backs are there this season." asks L. S.

"who can do about everything? Run, kick, pass, block and tackle?" The assignment Is too large. But among those who might be mentioned In this list are Scull, of Pennsylvania; Brazil, of Detrclt; Wrsyon. of Boston College: Harpster. of Carnegie Tech: MlzelL of Oeorgia Tech; Armlstead, of Vanderbllt; Hume, of Southern Methodist; Cagle. of the Army; Niemick.

of Notre Dame; Welch, of Purdue; Bennett, of Indiana and that tot all. Two of the greatest defensive backs of the year have been Scull, cl Pennsylvania, and Cornsweet, of Brown. Both have hard, deadly tacklers who almost never missed. Their play has at least started a long Itrtng of glowing epistles in the direction of these dispatches, week after week. Student tickets will be accepted at the gate and the boxes will be reserv ed for Burlington practitioners and their friend3.
