lima will play the Kentucky. University
eleven, which was recently barely de-
featcd by the University OF virginia, Hhe
orange and blue winning by TO Q. Upon
tho showing made by North Carolina
against the Kentuckians an idea OF the
relative strength of Virginia and Caro-
Ina may be HAD. E If Carolina wins by q
better score than did Virginia. 1t Will
indicate that the Chapel Hill men are
nearly or quite up to the Virginia stand

THE GREAT NORTHERN 1EaMS.
In the North Yale will tackle the hard
est proposition it has yet encountered IN
the strong Columbia eleven,s conquerors, OF
Pennsylvania and Of. Amherst, which de-
feated Harvard 7!Yae has not played Its
usual strong defensive game this year,
having been twice scored son BY oppo-
nents. Yale ought To win to-day, but
it will be by a narrow margin IN all
probab iiity. Princeton has formidable
opponent for to-day in the Cornell eleven.
The strength of the Ithacans Is hard to
gauge, the eleven having met no really
formidable opponents except Bucknell.
which it defeated 6 to 0. Princeton has
made the best showing OF any Eastern
team thus far, no opponent having crossed
It's goal line or scored by q held goal
even. 1t is fast, well coached team,
full OF sand and ginger, with q quartette
of the fastest and most experienced backs
on tile grdiron, and witt, Dewitt, the
great punter and drop kicker of the sea-
son, who can land a field goal four our
or five trial Princeton Is the favorte to
win but the score will not be large
PENN TACKLES BUCKNELL,
Pennsylvania will so up against a hard
struggle with Bucknell, which has proved
me of the most formidable elcvens in the
East. The Philadelphia men, smarting
over their recent defeat by Columbia, are
due for a brilliant game, and should crush
the Bucknelians.
Harvard Is the only ono OF the big six
which has no game scheduled for to-day.
The Cambridge men arc working hard In
anticipation Of their game with Pennsyl-
yania week from to-day
