best team will be decided One inference
from Inst saturday, games l. thHt the iior-
vard-igle game will be hard fought and close.
Thes" games always are hard fought. but for
the last two years have been ANYTHING but
close. IaNt week did not give to the public
any additional lin" on Prinoeto on form. ~
the Tigers did not play. Some folks doubt
whether the cancclling OF game by Princeton
was a wise procedure. ~ a contest with an
opponent bring out points To the coaches
which no amount of practice can divulge.
But II l. only fair 10 a>sume that the Princeton
men Themselves are the best judges OF that

ba is of calculation, the Harvard team l. not
as strong a. might have been thought while
the Yale Bucknell game showed better form
on the part OF Yale than was shown at West

together than they appeared to be just beior"
saturday, games were played. In other
words. Harvard looked TO be further ahead
of Yale OF saturday morning than she did
on saturday night. one of the most interest

In which the prospects of the different teams

yania q year ago with much greater ease
than this. Pennsylvania undoubtedly i
stronger than "A year ago. and her spirit was

that Harvard a year AGO at this time Wa
