The quality OF today's schedule Is ex-
caIIent and all OF the big teams are by no
means sure of pulling through without De-
ing defeated. Yale plays West Poht'
Princeton lines UP against Columbia mar
ward takes on Brown. Pennsylvania goes
against the Carlisle Indians and Annap-
olh measures strength with Swarthmore
That is an attractive BILL to say nothing
of numerous other games to be played. IL
is believed Princeton will defeat Columbia
by a comfortable margin. notwithstanding
reports of Columbia's confidence of at least
holding the Tigers to a small score. That
Is more or less of a chronic condition at
Columbia on the eve of big game. which
actual form in the big games in the last
three or four years has not justified. Until
Columbia shows something-and today
is the chance to show something If she has
anything to show-reports of her strength
will be received with a grain OF salt
The Yale-West Point and Pennsylvania
Indian games are the ones which are most
in doubt. though the chances OF Yale max
ing a good score against the soldiers and
the chances of a tie or defeat for Yale are
about equal The ability OF pennsylvania
10 survive staggering blows in the way OF
losing good men will be thoroughly tested
in the game with the redskins. There Is
nothing about the Quaker that makes him
throw up his hands when he Is visited by
hard luck. Harvard Is expected 10 90 dS
well against Brown as Pennsylvania did,
and though II Is not Coach Reids policy
TO try to smother reputed weaker teams,
there Is no uneasiness in thecrimson camp
lest defeat be encountered today. AS to
Annapolis Swarthmore Is formidable and
the revivffed mddies look for harder
battle than they have yet had.
To sum UP, defeat for Princeton or Har-
ward will be more OF a surprise than de-
feat for Yale or Pennsylvania. this not be-
cause of weakness at New Haven and Phil
adelphia, but because of opposing strength.
