ON THE GRIDIRON.
Yale and Harvard Uncertain
 But Princeton Confident.

Time-Yale Has shown No New
 Tricks or Speed-Harvard is Very Much aged-Princeton is
 Playing Fast and Speedy.
 New Haven, Oct 13.-Yale's eleven will line up against Holy Cross to-day, and Penn State will come on Saturday. The team, while it has been winning games rather easily, is not in as fit shape as it might be. Bloomers's and Hogan s. positions were easily broken through by the Springfield boyson Sat urday, and it is possible that they are a bit stale and need a rest. They may get it, for they have been worked un- usually hard this season Captain Rafferty is so absorbed in the team that he, too, has gone off some. and se- cret practice will begin this week, which is about two weeks earlier than usual. Yale so far has shown no new plays Or formations, but when 1t gets behind closed gates something new will, no doubt, be tried.
 Cambride. Oct 13.-Gloonn, deep eyed gloom, is lowering over the foot ball squad here. A genuine scare has been LQTOWu LLG SOdSl4CS.f hard time the Cambridge students had to defeat the University of Maine team l a few days ago. and the loss Of the game with Amherst last Saturday, have driven the Crimson coaches into de spair. Harvard has had such hard luck this season that the members of the team are even looking forward with nervousness to the meeting with West Point next Saturday. It will never be acknowledged at Harvard that Am herst won a fair victory last Saturday. Tn fact, the Cambridge students do not hesitate to say that Umpire Holton robbed them of the game by giving them a few feet for offside play in stead of a touchdown. If this touch down had been allowed Harvard would have broken even with the Amherst team As matter of fact, with bet ter handling of the ball the Crimson team would have won by substantial score. Hanley's tumble when going over the goal line cost the Crimson a touchdown, and there were fun1bles at other periods of the game that were costly.
 Princeton, Oct 13-The Tigers are feeling in good hundor over their bril- liant victory in the game with Brown at Providence. The team work of the Tigers was exceptionally good, and they played with an aggressiveness that carried everything before them. Princeton also showed up well on the defense, although they had rather light line to contend with. The snap and go to the work of the men of Old Nassau showed how carefully they have been handled this year Every man was right on edge for the game, and all came out of the contest in good shape. There is now a feeling at Princeton that the Tigers have an even chance of beating Yale this year. It is certain that Yale will not be able to put better backs in the field, and the Princeton line, although considerably lighter than that of the New Haven team, will not be outclassed.
 Philadelphia, Oct 13.--The football squad of the University of Pennsyl- vania this year will be one of the heaviest that the Quakers have had. As it lined up against Lehigh on Sat urday the team averaged 1S3 pounds to the, man. This is eleven pounds more toathe man than the team weighed against Cornell last year.
 Ithaca, Oct 13.-The game played by Cornell Saturday against Colgate showed more than ever before that there are three weak spots which must be filled soon if the eleven is to. make any kind of a. showing against Prince ton. Left guard has been a worry all season. The two ends are not up to the stondard. Tourison. in particular, missed several tackles in Saturdays contest.
