Hot Contests Expected On All the Fields To-day.
 The Yale university football eleven. | crippled in the back field by the ab- | sence of Hale and Sharpe, will be | tried out to-day by the celebra ted Car hsle Indians at New Haven. This will be Yale's last chance to perfect weak | points. before the game at Princeton next Saturday and the battle with Har- ward week later. Though Yale has the heaviest rush line of all the big eleyens, the Indians can pretty nearly match it with seven big, muscular, feetfooted men who have been clever | ly coached.
 The other game of more than or dinary interest to-day is the one sched- | uleu between Pennsylvania and Lafay- ette at Philadelphia. The Quakers were greatly demoraaliZed by the defeat sustained at Cambridge last Saturday. and major of them were quite se- EeFoly, bruised IT, e- ruelliug contest. If Hare, the Pennsylvania captain. finds 1t Impossible to play through the entire game, it is believed that Lafay- otte has q good chance to win. Coach Newton has been preparing the Lafay- ette men escepially for this game, which is considered at Easton to be ! it's most important conflict of the year. Though Pennsylvania will line up sev- eral cripples, notably Hare, Lafayette will be unable to produce her strong est team. as Half Back Launt cannot | play, and Full Back Cure, one of the best punters in the colleges, is in such l shape that he cannot last long. La fayette has improved, however, since 1 Princeton beat her, , to o, at Easton and as Pennsylvania's prestige has temporarily been obliterated, the Eas- ton men think they may repeat their l triumph of last season. when they con- 1 Ouered the Quakers on Franklin Field Harvard. without the services of Cap tain Daily, will meet Bp n university at Soldiers field, PrinG> wisely can celled the date with Dartmouth. while Cornell will tackle the Oberlin college team at Ithaca.
 Ithaca, Nov 1O.-Coach Porter let the varsity team off easily yesterday. as they have to meet Oberlin today, and while the game is not regarded as hard one, Cornell desires to keep her self in the best of condition to meet Lafayette and Pennsylvania. A sharp signal practice was all that was asked Of the varsity and they put consider able vim in their work.
 Providence. Nov 1O-Brown men do not feel much encouraged by the re- ports of HarVardS crippled team. and l ln spite of the fact that the Providence eleven is ready to put up the strongest game of tho season. the chances of scoring look rather slim The more hopeful are relying on trick plays or the chance of a place kick. and con- cede at least two tOuchdOWns to liar ward in advance.
 New York, Nov 1O-High winds on Mornings.dc Heights seriously nili- t2ted against football yesterday. Only about half the varsity squad braved the elements. 4 lineup attracted at tention for twenty minutes without any scoring being done. Morley at tempted 10 punt against the wind and Colhn and Van Hoeyepborg are being coached in kicking also, to relieve Nor, ley if occasion demands Freeman and Sykes did not go with the team to Buffalo last night, but besides the reg ular players B. Boyesen, Holman. Mac hellar, Tyson, Beardsley and Nieser will be taken.
 Amherst. Nov 1O.-Amherst college has been sparing no effort than 'So
 
 Trl-CollPgiate league with Wesleyan and Williams, and Coaches Warren and swain Of Harvard have been putting the men through two practices daily TOT the first league game which takes place to-day with Williams. The de feats at the hands of Bowdoin and Tufts disheartenPd the team a little. put talk from w. H. Lewis, Harvard, formerly of Amherst. has given to the
 men much of their old time snan. and from the responsiveness of both 0fTcu. siVc and defensive play Amherst should put up good game with Will Hams.
 Princeton, Nov 10.~-For the first time since the Columbia game yesterday af- ternoon princetOn'S players were able 10 line up against the scrubs in a regu- lar game. The style of play set out. though, was not much of an improve ment over that displayed by the patched up team of yesterday, for the varsity was only able to score one touchdown and that did not come until the last few minutes of the game. Hodgmans hurt to his knee has proved to be more serious than was expected at first and it is doubtful whether he will be out again until the nrst part of next week A regular match with the scrubs will take the place of the Dartmouth game. which was to have been played to-day.
 Philadelphia, Nov 10.-Pennsylvania IS ready for Lafayette to-day The Quakers face a team that has defeated here before, and the last time was last year. This defeat has rankled in the hearts of Pennsylyanians and the team members ever since Consequently Pennsylvania will go into the game for vengeance and endeavor to wipe out me defeat as she did few years ago. Lessons have been learned from the Harvard game, and better system of attack is sure to be used. The Drac- tiee yesterday was taken early in the afternoon and was not severe. The Easton team uses the guards back plays, but the the style is rather diff rerent from the one in use at Pennsyl- VnTjD tyr1 t,jo
