Football Elevenn to Meet ON Frank
lin Field Today.
The first football game this season be-
tween the colleges of the big four will
be played this afternoon on Franklin Field,
the contestants being the University OF
Pennsylvania and the Harvard College
elevens Notwithstanding all the Difficult
ties under which Pennsylvania has labored
this year and the poor showing she has
made against the smaller colleges, her
supporters are backing her with their mon
ey to win out against the Harvard team
today. Their only hope is in their guards
back plays. Harvard has never been able
the Quakers, and on this play alone do the
students hope to score against the Wearers
of the crimson.
So many have characterized the games OF
the big college this season that the stu
dents of Princeton and Yale are afraid to
place their money on either of the teams
in the Pennsylvania Harvard battle. The
Harvard boys seem to be little too con-
fident. Overconfidence has often proved a
stumbling block and a sturdy defence and
a fierce attack may keep the Harvard team
from making any score.
The Princeton students are rather anx-
ious about the result of the game today
with the sturdy little team of the Brown
University. The Princeton team, however.
is in a better physical condition than it
has been at any time during the present
season and should have no trouble in de-
feating the Brown boys. The coaching
squad at Princeton was completed last
-
players in the country.
With Lea coaching the tackles, Holt and
BGlliett the centre men, Brown and Bro
kaw the ends. and Smith Barnard. Baird,
and Morse to work up the back field ma
terial. the Tigers will not be wanting in
strong. spirited coaching.
Yale and West FONT will meet on the
! gridiron this afternoon. Harvard and
Princeton had an easy time in defeating
the cadets. but the embryo generals have
pulled themselves together, as the Dart
mouth game shows. and will give the
Blue a good run for victory.
The naval cadets have done exceedingly
well this season, and should have little
difficulty in disposing of the band from
the University of North Carolina. Prince
ton and Lafayette beat the middies by
small margins Every day the sailors are
improving, and the game with West Point
next December should prove the closest in
the history of gridiron battles between the
two academies.
