Visitors to New Haven aud Princeton on
the days of the games with Harvard and
Yale, respectively, will have an oppor-
tunity to see two games instead OF one: it

Harvard freshmen on the morning OF the
Yale-Harvard game November 10, while
preceding the Yale-Princeton game at
Princeton the annual game between the

will take place.
It was case of when Greek meets
Greek at Philadelphia yesterday after
noon, when Penn. lined up against the
University of Chicago. Woodruff, mer-
tor to the Quakers, and Stagg, who
bosses things athletic out iat the uniyer-
sity of Chicago, are both old Yale play
ers. The tactics of both coaches are
founded on the foot ball lore they ac-

McNair is now on the road to complete

that the clever captain will do nothing

probably never play again.
Brainard, the old Princeton PLAYER now
coaching the Northwestern University,
must know that his services are appre-
ciated, for most spontaneous and sin
cere tribute was paid him by the students
of the university last week. Their team
had been overwhelmingly defeated by the
University of Chicago, and every one was
sore. But in their disappointment the
students did not turn traitors to their
coach. On the contrary, in mass meeting.
they pubically made expression to their
confidence and faith in Brainard. Such
loyalty is something unusual. Would that
