Today's Football Game.
Brown VS.. Tufts, at Providence.
LehIgn VS.. Uaverford, at Haverford
Football Notes.

Tufts will go up against a stiff PROPOSE
| ton at Providence, today.
The Indians finished the Harvard gam
in better condition than any previous
team from Carlisle.
AS the season advances, Harvard and
Yale are rounding the turn into the
stretch almost neck and neck
The Harvard 2d-Holy Cross game
scheduled for Saturday. Nov. s. has been
| cancelled, and instead Holy Cross will
play Fol- dham at New York.
Yale never has defeated Harvard al
Soldiers field, but the teams played tie
0 to 0 in 1897 and 1899 In 1898 Harvard
defeated Yale at Yale field II to 0.
Dartmouth has disposed 'of her rivals
in the triangular league, and victory
over Brown would be a very satisfactory
ending of the season for the Hanover
eleven.
1t is announced by the Yale football
management that n number of Yale alum
nj have agreed to present the aSSocia-
ton with a set of silver cups to be given
to the team winning the championship
of the university.
New York papers claim that mass plays
are responsible for an unusually large
| number of injuries. this year Mass plays
claimed that the popularity of the sport
is waning in New York. If Columbia had
a good team it might be otherwise.
Dartmouth must have fallen off or
Wesleyan taken a brace in the last few
weeks. The Brown men are confident
now that they can beat Dartmouth, Nov.
| p. but the Hanover men are equally con-
| fident that Mccormack will bring the
| team and surprise the Providence boys.
For those who cannot get to New Ha-
ven two weeks from Saturday, the
| Brown Dartmouth game at Providence
will be worth seeing.
| The scores of the leading teams up to
| date are as follows: Harvard 1871, oppon-
ems II; Cornell 235 opponents %; Yale 2I5,
! opponents II; Princeton 159, opponents, 3;

| careful analysis Of Princetons game
| against Cornell. Saturday, shows that
| unless she shows great improvement, she
| Will not be able To cope with Yale on
| Nov. 10. There is even room for doubt
whether she would have beaten Cornell
without the aid of De Witt This big
guard rot only dropped two goals from
| the field. which accounted for all the
| points scored but the way in which he
outpunted Brewster made it possible for
| Princeton to advance the ball so far that
goals from the field became practicable.
The only other means by which Princeton
got within striking distance of Cornell S
goal was Foulke's long run around the
left end. When it came to ground gain
ing by running and bucking the line, Cor
nell was. fully Princetons equal OF
not play on Saturday, will strengthen the
Tigers line appreciably. and II Shevlin
can handle Davis he will accomplish d
genuine feat
