an Exciting Draw at west Point-pennsyi-
vania, Prlncetop, aud Lafayette VIA Easily.
6arvard's football eleven proved beyond n
doubt yesterday that the CrlDson's chances
against Yale this year should DO better than
ever before. In the first half OF tho game at
Cambridge. the Cornell players nut up such a re.
ruarkably strong game, that when time was up
the score stood o to D IL Harvard's favor, n
goal from the field marring the hitherto
clean record OF the Cambria Q team. n tho
second half tho Harvard men cut loose and lit
orally tore tho Ithaca rush limo to pieces, scoring
q total OF eighteen points more, the final figures
being "a to 5. Yalo had a narrow escape from
defeat at West Point. In the first af tho
cadets scored six points and blankcd the Blue.
In the second half there was some fierce football,
In which Yale prevented the West Pointers from
scoring further, and by desperate efforts managed
TO tie tho score before time was up. The follow.
0rs OF Harvard and Yale, who are figuring out
tho result OF the big game to be played at Cam
b.tdge by these elevcns a week from next Sat
urday, have como to tho conclusion that the
Blue and Crimson, with thoir strongest teams
in the q Id. will afford tho most sensational
game of the year. Pennsylvania great elcv.
On once moro demonstrated its phenomenal
strength by showing Brown University under
to the tune OF 40 to O. which increases the grow
ing belief that tho Quakcrs have the only team
in the country capable OF playing an even game
with Princeton. The Tigers outpointed tho
heavyweight Dartmouth eleven, as everybody
expected. by 80 to o, and they did not overexert
themselves either. Princeton, by the way. ia
the only one OF the big elevens that has not vet
been scored against. Lafayette won an easy
victory from Lchigt.

and, though tho sun shone brightly. the air was
crisp and bracing. Shortly before 8 o'clock, amid
great cheering, the Harvard team came trotting
on the field led by Capt. Cabot. For five min.
utes they went through some lively practice,
and then the cheering in the gIandstand an
noInced the arrival of the Cornell eleven. The
Ithaca team looked small beside the Harvard
eleven, but on the whole seemed more compact
than the home team.
Z Throughout the game Cornell could do little
-egainet the heavy tandem plays aimed at her
line. At interva Of three or four minutes some
Cornell player would he disabled. These delays
in the game happened so frequently that tho
spectators grew very impatient. Tia ing every.
thing into consideration Cornell did the best
team work. The Ithacans' weakness was ut the
ends and tackles. The Harvard line was
impregnable, but behind the line there
was chaos. Time and again the backs lost good
gains because of the lack of interference.
Parker was somewhat OF a failure at half
back. He was too slow in getting started. His
best work was when Garrison sent him through
Cornelrs right end and tackle. Cabot did poorly
in tacklinG. and Moulton frequently missed his
