Saturday.
 Harvard, Yale and Pennsylvania all made better scores against their op- ponents on Saturday than they did year ago. Last year Harvard defeat ed Williams 12 to o, going that score four better this time. The Williams eleven, however, was the Crimson's first opposition in 1900. Harvard met Wesleyan and defeated that team by 24 to 0. In 1900 Yale beat Trinity by 9 to 0, which is one less point than the score this year. The University of Pennsylvania defeated Lehigh by ? to 6, last year, against 2S to this year. It was a most encouraging game for Pennsylvania after the mournful reports of the outlook from that university. Cornell, too, started off creditably. But these early games, in so far as they serve to show the rel ative strength of the bigger elevens, are of little value Comparisons of scores are interesting, but poor line on what is to come. 1t is pleasing to have evidence of good material, but next comes the development of mate rial. Football is a many-sided game and the perplexing manner in which a teams aspects change from time to time is one of the most attractive phases of the sport.
 Columbia did not begin it's season last year any too promisingly. The first game in 1900 was with Rutgers. It was expected that big score would be run up against the New Brunswick eleven, but Il to 0 was the best the S4O .Ia irar1 k1oe revival of football at Morningside Heights two years ago Columbia has, in several instances, shown surprising recuperative powers, once uneXpected- ly defeating Yale. and last year trounc- ing Princeton and the Indians. The discoura ging beginning this year, therefore, will not banish hope that the season also will see the scalp of powerful antagonist dangling at the belt of the Blue and White kickers.
 The Tigers have been on the football field for two weeks, yet very little ac- tual scrimmage work has been at tempted. The daily practices have been confined almost entirely to drills in running through formations and in bunting and tackling. The method of development adopted by the Princeton coaches differs radically from that pur- sued by any of their immediate pre- decessors, who have pitted their pupils against one another in practice games soon after they appeared on the field.
 While the Wesleyan team showed it. self to be superior in many ways to Tufts i'll Saturdays game, the result was great disappointment to the col lege body. An easy victory was ex- pected and judging from the work done against the scrub. such expecta- tions were justified The team lined up all last week against a strong scrub numbering at times as many as twenty men. vet it never failed to make large gains. It spite of defeat, however, the outlook is not an unfavorable one, for the team played steady ball and no fumbles or loose work was noticeable.
