The Stanford-California game is of double barreled interest for its traditional importance is more vital than Its effect upon the Pacific coast conference championship hopes of the Oolden Bears, now deadlocked In the lend with Southern California. The same thing goes for the Harvard-Yale game, where the ancient foes after about equally mixed fortunes up to date, go into the fray with all past performances tossed out of the reckoning. If there is anything on the law of averages, Harvard and California are due to win. The. Crimson hasn't beaten ths Blue since 1922 while the Bears haven't triumphed over the Cardinals since 1923.

At least four other games claim tomorrow's spotlight for various but nevertheless, vital reasons.

23. JT) It's getting to be such a common thing for college football fans to turn thumbs down on coach when his team takes a drubbing, that It's somewhat unusual for the reverse to happen. But the reverse has happened this year In the case of Chicago and Dartmouth, two of the seasons biggest disappointments. The other night at Chicago at the thirty-seventh annual dinner given by the University of Chicaco alumni for Amos Alonzo Stags, there was his glrnrlous gridiron career.

C-T) Harvard and Yale will resume their ancient football rivalry tomorrow more evenly matched, perhaps, than at any time within recent years. No championship, official or unofficial, is flaunted as a reward before these two teams.

The game even lacks the Intersection! char- acteriatic. Yet it holds a msgic lure upon the American gridiron, a lure that has grown up through traditional rivalry reaching back through a dozen cr more college-generations. The struggle this year in the Yale Bowl will be the forty-seventh for the Crimson and the Blue.

The fact that Yaks has lost three gamr-3 and Harvard has dropped two, takes nothing away from the Interest of thi3 annual Crimson and Blue contest For that matter, Notre Dame has already dropped three games and Notre Dame has no trouble in luring cut th? multitude.

In this Harvard-Yale affair, Han-ard has the better chance to win. Harvard has more power in the line than Yale and Harvard has much more 6peed in the backfield, where Art French ought to be the best man on the field. Neither team has shown much of a passing game, but cf the two Yale has been the better. Harvard has almost no forward passing backs vrho can direct this part of an attack with any consistency. Yale isn't a world beater in this department, but Yale is at least better than Harvard here.

Boh teams lack driving continuity. They can go so far then the halting starts. There is no great difference in their strength, but Harvard has the advantage In speed and power, and this should be enough to carry the Crimson through.

0 CHICAGO, Nor. 23. (Dartmouth College's big freshman football eleven smamped the heretofore undefeated Lake Forest Academy team 44 to 0. before 10,000 Spectators at Soldier Field today. The Easterners scored almost at will and at the half had piled up a 24 to 0 lead.

IU backfield was far too shifty for its opponents and McCall and Porter picked up gardage from scrimmage with ease. Three thousmd Dartmouth alumni, here for tomorrow's contest between Dartmouth's varsity and Northwestern, watched the game. i A stone fortress near Manchester, is 1,000 years old. There is not even an Indian legend to ex-i plain its presence. Trailing at 15-5 at half time, the freshmen came back with an overwhelming attack and nosed out the sophomores 20-19 and the seniors defeated the juniors 25-4 In the Cathedral High school class league last night.

Both games were surprises as the senior-Junior contest was figured to be close while the sophs were top-heavy favorites to defeat the froBh. The senior-Junior game was dull and the first half of the freshmen-sophomore clash did not provoke much Interest but the final half of the last named battle was crowded with action and easily made up for the three dull sessions. Senior.JanJor The seniors started with a rush and Ed. Mahoney and Tiny Vlau scored In the opening; moment of play. Then, for a few plays, the Juniors fought mightily to come hack but at no time were the three-year men able to penetrate the seniors' defense and the quarter ended with the seniors leading 6-1.

From this on the game became a rout with Ed. Mahoney and Vlau leading the seniors' attack. Dower made the Juniors only basket while Brown was the only member cf the losers who did not appear demoralized. Frosh-Soph. Nick Murray was finding the net plenty and with Tony Dow nan bouncing all over the court like a rubber man, the sophs got away to a flying atart.

At the end of the first quarter the sophs had an 8-1 advantage and at half time had stretched It to 15-5 but In the closing sessions, those plebes did some of the wicrdest tricks with the ball that could be imagined and the spectators were about evenly divided between wild cheering and hilarious laughing. However, Eveltl began to sift through the sophs' defense and Walker got away with a wild one-hand heave that brought down the house while the sophs were rapidly breaking up. The sophs collected but four points in the two final periods as the plebes won by a hair, 20-19.

But In the succeeding nine years the Crimson wreaked vengeance on Yale by winning eight games. Since 1922 Yale has had all the better of the gridiron battles, winning in 1923 and 1924. tying in 1923 and winning again in 1928 and 1927.
