GOOD GAMES TO BE PLAYED TO-DAY.
SEVERAL STIRRING CONTESTS on THE GRID1RoN
THIS AFTERNOON.
There Will be three interesting games on the grid
iron this afternoon Brown will play her most i'm
portant contest OF the season at Providence. when
she Will run up against the Tigers, who Will journey
all the way from Princeton for the struggle Brown
has strong line and a hrst-rate halfback In Rich
ardson. Her eleven has shown up particularly well
In the games against Yale and the University or
Pennsylvania. But. for all that. 1t does not seem
possible that there should be any doubt OF the out
come of the game. because Princeton is proving
herself extremely strong the defence and there
does not seem to be much likelihood OF Browns
scoring unless 1t may be huke. The game
should. however, be decidedly interesting one to
watch
The Carlisle Indians. who kept Yale the move
last Saturday in lively fashion and whose quarter
back. Hudson, kicked a wonderful goal from the
fed. Will try conclusions with the Harvard men at
Cambridge Tn. question that is troubling the
Cambridge coaches at the present moment is not
much whether Harvard will have a hard time in
defeating tho Indians not. but whether, after
the game is over. three-fourths Of the Crimson
eleven will be crippled as was the case with the
yale eleven after their fight with the Indians 49,,
