IN THE FOOT BALL WORLD.
Big Games Now Loom Up Promi-
nently.

Now looms up the Yale-Princeton game
in the near future. The fact that this year
the ancient rivals will meet with each hav-
ing been defeated will not decrease interest
in the least. If anything, there will be
more interest the way things are than il
only one team had been defeated. Defeat
for each does not hide the fact that each
has a powerful team, and 1t adds to the UNI
certainty of the outcome. In the meantime
both blue and orange and black have. a
game to play that will be hard enough to
keep them keyed up. Princeton plays West
Point. and. unless the game is SO hard that
it takes something out of the Tigers. it
ought to do them good by serving to round
out the eleven.
Harvard and Yale were when they met the
cadets, while the latter, their game with
Annapolis still being three weeks Off, will
not have advanced so far proportionately.
West Point does not get so much practice
as these big teams she tackles, and, con-
sidering that fact. the way the army holds
the big elevens down is remarkable. Wheth-
er West Point would not do as we'll against
the big teams were the full thirty five min
ute halves played Is open to debate. SUI
perior weight might tell against the cadets
in the long run. but their opponents would
not have anything or them in endurance.
Yale plays Brown next Saturday. The game
is not expected to call out the best in the
Yale team, but there will be contest enough

will also give the lattEts' chance to see If
they cannot acquire more proficiency at
breaking through to block kicks and to
diagnose trick plays more readily.
Will Pennsylvania meet the fate of her
three contemporaries and meet with defeat?
The question Is uppermoSt in foot ball
circles. The Quakers have three hard games
yet to pIay-Lafayette next Saturday, then
the Indians, then Cornell. Lafayette Is be-
ing coached by a Pennsylvania man, one
who knows the ms and outs of Pennsylva-
MAS play, and Lafayette's game against
Princeton shows that the Eastonians are
serious opposition. The Harvard victory
gives the Quakers renewed confidence, a
good thing if there is not excess of it.
Cornells score against Princeton. as COM
pared to those of seasons Immediately pre-
ceding, indicates that the Ithicans are on
the upward grade. What is left of Penn
sylvanias schedule is hard enough to call
Tor no easing up on the part of the Quak-
ers. Dartmouth. for that matter, also has
a fair chance of going through the season
unbeaten, as has Amherst; though neither
has been tested severely PennSylva-
mia. Dartmouth has Harvard and Amherst
to play, and, like Pennsylvania, has been
scored on only by a field goal.
Pennsylvanians Celebrate.
Enthusiasm ulrestrained and uncontrol-
liable, the fermented product of six years of
successive defeats at the hands of Harvard
reigned supreme at the University of Penn
sylvania all day yesterday. The cause of
this wild celirium of joy was the unexpect.
ed but glorious victory which the wearers
Of the Red and Blue had won over the
Crimson at Cambridge on Saturday and
thereby elevated Pennsylvania to the front
rank of tie Intercollegiate foot ball world.

their eyes in the morning until they laid
down last night, exhausted after their
strenuous labors to let the world know how
happy they felt.
Harvard Makes Team Changes.
That Harvard is going to profit by the I'M
expected setback that she got from the
University of Pennsylvania on Saturday
was evident by what happened on Soldiers
field, Cambridge. yesterday afternoon. The
entire varsity eleven was shaken up and
changes were made that ought to do much
