The tic game played BY Harvard and Yale on
Saturday makes the two big contests at New
Haven and Philadelphia on next Saturday Of
more interest than IL a decisive result had been
reached. That Yales eleven has improved rap

sides, and II the gait can DO kept up, II not bet
tered, during this week, Princeton may find II n
hprder task 10 win than tho Tigers have had
any idea OF. On form 1t seems safo to assert
that Princeton has q better football eleven in
many respects than Yale, especially in the
strength Of her backs and in kicking. But
whether the Tiger line. taken as q whole. can
master tho Yale rushers is q question open for
discussion. As the game will take place at New
Haven, where the Blue supporters will DO in a
large majority, there are indicatio 3 Of n most
sensational football match, with Princeton q
favorite in the betting.
Harvard will have a harder task to defeat
Pennsylvanie than she experienced In tieing
Yale. Tho Crimson team will not have the big

slow up as II afraid Of being hurt or OF injuring
their opponents. There was almost an entire
lack of Ringe when Harvard had the ball, and
the slowness with which nearly all of the plays
were made WINS q striking contrast to Yale's
snap and dash. Harvard's coaohers. while gen.
orally refusing to talk, realize that too much
time was devoted to perfectipg a defence and
that the attacking forces Of tho eleven were
uorelY neglected. Quarter Back Garrison has
been openly criticised for losing his head when
Harvard had the ball six yards from Yale's goal
line in the second half. He had been taken to
task for calling upon Cabot to run with the ball
instead Of somebody else. But those who arc
finding fault with him fail to explain how little
De Saulles broke through big Bouv6 and downed
Cabot for a loss. They also neglect to credit
the Yale team with a defence at this particular
point that was wonderful. Lack of judgment

who do not actually indulge in the game. but
who know how the game should DO played from
tho side limos. But when tho half backs and

CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 14.-Now that their first big
game is over, Harvard men are discussing the
e~ylvania. That Harvard failed 10 defeat Yale
does not 10 the least lessen the feeling that Har-
ward will defeat Pennsylvania. Harvard has
always played a better game away from home
than she has at Cambridge. This lie evidenced by
recent baseball victories at New Haven and
terday there would have been much less hope of
victory over Pennsylvania. However. the feel
An6 hOto touuy u ouo VI hoBu ulbuppOlnlul0lL,
Most Harvard men regard the result Of the Yale
game as q defeat.
Harvard students are not only anxious for the
Crimson eleven to defeat Pennsylvania, but that
Yale ehall vanquish Princeton. This would
leave Harvard and Yale on a still hrmer basis
OF equality and cement the already good feeling
which exists between tho two universities.
Again. II Harvard and Yale should both be do.
feated on next Saturday this feeling would re-
main the same. But IL Princeton should win
oyer Yale and Harvard over Pennsylvania then
the championship would BIO between Harvard
and Princeton. II Yale shoul win and Harvard
lose. the leadership would rest between Yale
and Pennsylvania either of which results would
be UNSATISFACTORY.
Ia conversation with one of tho Harvard foot
ball men this evening he SAID that some impor-
tant changes were likely to bo made in the
thought that other Richardson or Graydon
would take Cabots place at the left end, that
Boal would replace Haskell or Shaw at right
guard, and that Mills would take Donald's place
at right tackle.
The election for captain of mkt years Har-
yard team viii probably be held directly after
the Pennsylvnnia game. The choice lies be-
tween Mills. Dibbloe,, and Donald, with odds
plightly in favor of Dibblee. II the latter should
be elected no will be the urat JJarynrd fnnthuu
