The entire football world, but especially
the collegiate, is all agog over the first
big game of the year, which comes or
today between Harvard and Princeton.
This interest s particularly intense among
the foOtballistS OF Yale and University
ofPennsylvania, as the result of the struggle
will furnish a very much better basis for
figuring on their chances IN the coming

The reports sent out regarding the
manned and injured players OF bith teams
may Well be looked upon with a certain
degree OF skcpticism, as il is the fashion
among the colleges to open up every avail
able chance of excuse for a possible defeat.
From Harvard comes the direst tales of
disaster in the way of disabled pia yers
but Princeton is not far behind. Harvard
Seems to have the largest number of players
on the hospital list of any of the big
colleges. Wheeler. Shaw and Cabot all
have sprains and bruises calculated to

Mcdonald are reported as being on the
sick list. IL is even said that Can't
Wrightington's bad knee may put him out
of the game in its early stages.
For Princeton the great misfortune seems
to be in Rosengarten's sprained ankle which
dispoSes of him for some weeks to come.
Also Capt. Cochran is suffering from lame
shoulder. Several other Tigers are said
to be in bad shape, but to the average
observer IL would seem that Princeton has
the better all round chance of winning the

In the vicinity of Philadelphia they
have a fashion Of lifting large trees

top of the tree so that each can he

is dug around the base of the tree. the
circle being as wide rs may seem judi

the earth is forl<ed away from the ball
on one side, and block set under the
roots MS a sort of fulcrum. The rope on
that side is drawn over the block. and
the result is the lifting up OF the mass
OF roots on the opposite side. A little
earth is then placed under these ele-
waited roots, and the opposite rope
drawn to that side. This lifts the roots
over the block and more earth is placed
there. The tree by the aid Of the op-
nosite ropes is then drawn backward
