ALL READY FOR THE FRAY
"Big Four" Teams Will Meet on the
GridirOn Tomorrow.
CONFIDENCE is PLENTIFUL
Close and Exciting Games Expected.
With the Chances in Favor OF
Pennsylvania and Princeton-How
the Different Elevens VIII Line
Up for Battle.

All ewes in the football world are now
turned toward Franklin Field, Philadei-
phia, and Manhattan Field, New YORK,
where the giants OF the gridiron represent
ing the big Four will meet to fight their
annual la tiles for supremacy
The game at Franklin Field, where Penn-
sylvania and Harvard viii meet, promises
u be a contest Well calculated to arouse
enthusiasm to its highest pitch While the
red and blue team are generally looked
upon as winners, the chances or the Grim
son have steadily improved, and the Cam
bridge men say Pennsy will know she has
been in "a football game if size wins. 1t Is
thought Harvard will devote her time
mainly in tine first half to keeping the
hall away from her goal, and then # she
is able to hold PennSy safe in the first
half, attention will be turned to offensive
work III the last half, in the hope of scor-
ing.
The preparations for tremendous
demonstration tonight upon the arrival or
the PENNSYLVANIA team in Philadelphia
from the Water Gap, far exceed anything
that has previously occurred III the history
of university athletics mass meeting
OF the entire student body will DE held on
the campus and from t the men Will pro-
ceed in a body to Broad street station 10
welcome the team upon its ARRIVAL home
The folio wing line up OF the red and blue
has been fully decided upon: Center, over
field; right guard, Wharton; left guard,
Woodruff; left tackle, UffcnhelTner; right
-aCsIe, tarrar. left end, EoIic' reht ehd.
Dickson; quarterback, Weeks: left half
back, Gelbert; ght halfback, Morice; fuil
back, Minds
There Is little possibility that any changes
will be made. The confidence of the Penn
sylvana men is supreme and they VIII
en,er the contest tomorrow confidently ex-
pecting to win. AS overficld the big center
rush, bluntly puts it, Harvard cannot
score against us, so fine has our work
p,,urnr reese laSJ lew days ovcriicld'S
opinion is shared by all The team, and il
Pennsylvania does not play Harvard to
SIandStill next Saturday, the manage
ment will te greatly disappointed.
Ever vbody recognizes that Dunlop's
inability to play will prove a great loss
lo Harvard, ana this unexpected weakness
in the team, il is believed, will tell con
siderahly in Pennsylvania favor
Capt. Wrightington. of Harvard, gives the
lineup for tomonows game as follows:
Cabot. left end; Wheeler, left tackle;
Bouve. left guard; Frank Shaw center, Nor
ton Shaw, right guard. HaughtUn, right
tackle; Moultcn, right end; Bcale, quarter
back; Wrightington, left half-back; Dun
hop. right alf-back. and Brown, full-back.
1t is questionable whether WrightiDgton,
Dunlop and Haughton can last out the
game. Should they be forced to retire.
sullivan will take Wrightington's place.
Cozzen. probably, will be substituted for
Dunlop. The sprained ankle he received
Thursday was said 10 lie pretty lad, but
he does not seem to be incouvenicnccdm much
by il. Swain or Lee will replace Haugh
ton. There is hardly any likelihood that
Wheeler will he forced 10 retire. unless he
receives Il new injury His play is as good
as il ever was, if not better. All the men
are In the best OF health and spirits
1t is undoubtedly truethat the team which
will line up against Pennsylvania will be
the strongest aggregation Harvard has
gotten together this year and probably in
the last three years Throughout the en-
tire season Harvard has experienced a
series Of mishaps at critical moments which
would have taken the heart out of any
other team.
The realization of Pennsylvania
strength has not had any effect upon the
men except to rcdouble their efforts. The
team which lines up on Franklin field on
Saturday will be the strongest Harvard
can turn ont, and comparing the strength,
individual ability, and experience of the
two teams leaves very littl. to choose.
So far there has been lutte betting on
tnmnrrow's game between Pennsylvania
and Harvard. The Harvard men SIX odds OF
to /, and these PENNSYLVANIA students
are unwilling To give. They think the bet
ting should be even or so to 20 on the Red
and Blue ut the most.
1t is reported the Harvard contingent
which Will leave Cambridge for Philadcl-
phia today Will have plenty of money
10 wager on the Crimson's chances.
