OTHER BIG CONTESTS.


OTHER BIG CONTESTS
This will be another highly interesting after
noon on the gridiron field. though not marked by
such important games were played last Satur-
dav There are however contests to-day
that will draw forth immense crowds. The chief
OF these perhaps. Is the Princeton game against
the Carlisle Indians at Manhattan Field. in this
city The Carlisle Indians have an extremely for
midable aggregation They beat the Quakers
handly a few weeks ago. and scored eleven points
against the hitherto invincble Harvard team. They
are said 10 be in excellent condition and expect
20 play Princeton exceedingly close game with
even a secret hope OF winning out. Experts look
FOR Princeton victory even though II may be by
q narrow margin. Ii has been noted in past years
that the Carlisle Indians generally do not close
the season with quite the strength that marks
their mid-season games. This will certainly be
hardly fought contest is to be witnessed in
New-York this season.
Another game of great interest is that between
the University Of Pennsylvania and the University
OF Michigan at Philadelphia. The Ann ArbOr eleven
is pretty near the top Of the Western teams and
its coach declares that unless the Quakers play
much better than they did at Chicago two weeks
ESQ these Michigan men are going 10 win victory
ANY games between representative universities of
the East and West are always full OF interest. The
Quakers have been continuing their poor work all
the week. and they have repeatedly allowed them
selves TO be bested IN the afternoons practice. 1t
remains 10 be whether they will take brace
for this afternoon or remain in their slough Of
despond
Harvard and Yale both have fairly stiff practice
games on their hands. Harvard lining up against
Dartmouth at Cambridge, and Yale against the
Pennsylvania State College team at NewHaven.
Harvard will without doubt play largely substitute
eeven-at any rate. after the first few minutes re-
serving her men for the Yale game next Saturday.
particularly as Dartmouth is in rather poor shape
this season Yale Will have somewhat harder
game on her hands for the Pennsylvania State Col
lege men have shown good form this season. and
early in October won from West Point and later
held Princeton down TO two touchdowns.
Cornell is secretly somewhat apprehensive over
her game with Lafayette at Ithaca to-day. for the
Lafayette eleven has shown up handsomely this
season. defeating the Quakers and overwhelming
Lehgh, whom Cornell beat by much smaller score
only few weeks ago The Coumbia-west Point
game should be first contest Previous TO
Election Day would readily have picked Column
