felt more by the big teams than the lesser
lights going on the idea that big men reel
the effects OF heat more. Harvard and Penn
sylvania have nothing hard to tackle to-day,
but Yale. Princeton and Columbia meet
sitter opposition. The Tigers expect their
hardest game 40 far. against Lafayette. The
latter has a hustling team. and the players
are in good condition. They need to be to

without a competent centre man. For that
matter all along the Eastern college line the
centres are not 30 good, for II is felt that
the position has been played better. not alone
by one but by several men who have gone
before. The centres average UP pretty well.

Two of the best centres OF football were light

Harvard The general complaint Of lack OF
first-class ends has not been heard so far as
Pennsylvania Ia concerned. Drake and
