Till BIG UNCI Ki V. l "isn't modern football." writes a correspondent, "Just as uncertain us a baseball game" Isn't It possible now tor one football team to lose to .mother on a certain day where the losing team would be able- to win four games out of five?" In a competition where an egg-Shaped egg-Shaped ball must be thrown and caught the break of luck inuy mean a difference of two touchdowns. A weaker team with the right break might easily beat a machine that was two touchdowns stronger. No better proof of this could be found in the fact that Georgia Tech completely crushed Alabama by more than 30 points; the Navy outclassed Georgia Tech. Pcnn beat the N.v. and then Alabama beat Bonn All of which adds its Share to the autumnal gayety. Harvard on form looks stronger than Frlnccon. But the margin Isn't great enough to leave anv result approachincr certainty, certain-ty, Princeton could win without any vast upset any ups-t approaching Penn's victory over the Nav y or "Ala- j bama'S victory over Pcnn.

Notre Dame's attack is more like aj modern war offensive than anything! we have ever seen Tho Infantry Is: there to strike through the l!n. with, the air fleet above busy bombing holes! in the rival defense. If the defense falls back to meet tho air attack, the! Infantry keeps marching on. If the defense stays up to meet te line attack, the air fleet carries the day. The Ar- . my has a fine, last fighting eleven, but it Is up against one of the hardest attacks at-tacks to stop that footfcail has ever known. From the days of Salmon, the biff! line plunger, Notre Dame, has put one1 ground gaining star after another Into action. After several notables cume jDorals and Bockne, then (41pp, then l-Mohardt, Anderson, and Klley anad I now it Is Castuer, one of the greatest of the lot.
