FOUR IMPoRTASr GAMES.
All the Big varsity Teams to Meet
Strong Opponents.

Strong Opponents.
New York, Oct. % -Four inter collegiate
football games of considerable Importance
VIII be played tomorrow, the results O;
which VIII afford even better lines on the
Strengt! OF the hig elevenS than what has
been CLEANED from the contests already
played. Harvard viii play Cornell at ara
bridge: Pennsylvania will meet Brown at
Providence, Yale will tackle the cadets Mt
West Point, and Dartmouths eleven will
lire up against the Tigers at Princeton.
The Harvard Cornell game is attracting
more attention among the enthusiasts all
over the country than the other events.
The Cornell eleven, as is generally known,
is stronger this fall than fer several years
back. The Ithacans have played seu-
Sational draw With Lafayette this sea son,
and last Saturday Y they put up such good
football that Princeton beat them by the
small score OF 10 to o.
Cornell men have been claiming, ever
since the season began, that their team
would beat Harvard. They have based
their opinions on the fact that the material
at hama has been better than ever before
and that the coaches, Warner and Beacham
are the most competent that Cornell has
ever had. In games to date the Ithacans'
rush line has invariably been speedy and
that is big factor in any team'sstrengtf.
Harvard's iins, on the contrary, has been
criticised almost continuously for slow
ness.
IT, great body of Harvard men, tnclud-
ing tine coaches OF the team and Boston en-
tmlSiasts, are strong in the belief that Har
ward will win, hut they are careful not To
predict any score and refrain from declar-
ing whether Cornell can get the ball across
Harvards goal line or not.
Faryard's easy victory over Brown, by
IA score IF Is to o, makes Pennsylvania
chances unusually bright.
Yale VIII have hard game at West
Point. The cadets have a formidable
eleven ind are improving daily.
Princeton should have rather an easy
time disposing of Dartmouth, as the Han
over eleven was not very formidable
against Pennsylvania few weeks ago.

Statements We're made at the meeting

TIE colored Republicans of Baltimore

FEATHERwEIGHTs TO MEET.
Jones and Banks VIII Box at a Well
Known Road House.

The Jones Banks fight, which viii be
pulled off at a welIknown roadhouse within
the Eext thirty-six hours, promises TO be
the most interesting contest between
featherweights which has ever been held
in this vicinity. Both these youngsters
are wonderfully clever men, and as they
are old-un.e enemies, viii put up stiff
battle from start to finish. They have
trained faithfully for the battle and are
in the pink of condition.
Banks is an older hand at the fiStic game
than his cherry-topped opponent, and for
this reason is slight fayortte. He is
credited with decision gained in a fifteen
round hout with Jones, and his followers
expect to see him repeat this trick in their
next meeting. Jones is oonfid ent of
turning the tables on his opponent, how
ever, and his admirers will bet the llIatt
on his ability to do SO.

With the exception Of a telling advantage
in weight for the Ganaudets the teams were

degree that is almost perfect, while the Of

The game was fun of interesting fea-
