against her, and when the spectators had al

team, singing under the smart Of being badly

with frantic desperation. and showed a pace

playing of Herman had more to do with the
result IMAM any we'll organized team work.
-. On the tne whole, things look much darker for
the Crimson than they looked for Princeton
week ago. In the face of Saturdays exceeding
" discouraging showing, it will require an ex-
Tor Harvard Saturday. Yale's game with
princeton was pretty nearly first exhibition Of
one KIND Of football-the kind that the Yale
coaches have elected to play this fall. Har-
wards showing against a much weaker opponent
was ptttfully inefficient. There seems but one
deduction to make from this ONLY a ire

stay the overwhelming defeat that irnpends over
the Crimson. 1t must be assumed, too that

than last, for she has been pointed finally TO the
Harvard game, and, with one exception, all her
players finished Saturdays contest in good con-

Poor Columbia's bitter defeat at the hands
or Amherst was the browning humiliation Of
evil season for the NEWCOMERS. 1t is useless

can only shake ones head and hope for some
thing better another year. PENIS defeat at the
hands of the Indians does not necessarily imply
success for Cornell in the Thanksgiving Day
game, for il Will be remembered that Cornell
too. fell before the aborigines, and fell fully as
hard as Penn. Still. comparative scores are
often misleading. and IL seems likely that the
Thanksgiving Day game will be hard fought
and close.
While Harvard's athletic authorities have
yielded TO Yales protest, have decided that King
is ineligible to play, and have Withdrawn the big
centre, there is evidently a disgrUntled feeling
at Cambridge as a result Of the affair An
editorial article in The Harvard Crimson" on
the day OF the Pennsylvania game contained
this acidulous paragraph:
No matter how the game to-day turns out. there
will be great interest in the playing Sportsman
