Gridiron Experts Figure on
Upsets Tomorrow.

HARD PRACTICE.

The keenest interest is being displayed In
the games scheduled for tomorrow on the
grtdiron. At Columbia there appears to be
a growing confidence not only In the ability
OF the team to hold Princeton to low
score and to tally itself. but also In the
possibility of a victory for the Blue ana
White. Unless some startling advances
have been made In the secret practice dur
Ing the past week It Is hard to see wherein
the confidence arises. By all sgns SHOWN
in the previous games of the two elevens
the Tigers should win by score OF over
20 to o il they present their full strength.
Coach Edwards of the Princeton team was
in New York yesterday morning. and said
that II was the intention of the coaches to
play the best men at the start of the game
and give them a thorough workout. Aside
from the prominence of the game Itself, they
considered this necessary to prepare for the
Cornell game next week. which they regard
as almost as severe a test as that against
Yale
The line will be played as 1t was against
Lafayette with the exception of the trans
position of the two guards. 1t Is hoped
Brashear will be able to go in at end.
though, should he not be, Fryer Will be
given a chance. Tenney Will 60 back TO
quarterback at the start of the game. while
Bard and Simons will start as halfbacks
This Is the best team the Orange and Black
can show in the present condition OF the
men.
Columbia may present the same lineup
as against Amherst. with the single ex-
ception of quarterback, where there Is
strong probability that Collins will play.
The coachers have not yet announced their
decision this point.
The West Point game with Yale Is shar-
ing the attention Of the college men with
the Princeton-Columbia match The Yalen-
SLAMS have been working like Trojans to
avoid the defects in the defensive play

safe to say that with the drilling they have
received during the past six days they will
play much better foot ball. 1t is likely that
Hockenberger will replace Erwin at guard
The chances are the Blue line Will do better
at stopping West Points line drives than
did Harvard with the additional prepara-
tion Eli has had. but there fears ex-
pressed that Beavers fast end running may
play hob with Yale on account of the
weakness of right end. where Gates Is far
from up to standard At the Military
Academy there is quiet feeling of con-
fidence and determination that augurs we'll
for the teams success
There is a bigger chance of upset in
Philadelphia than anywhere else. The de-
moralzing effect of Draper's disqualification
after the offensive and defensive system
was built around his great ability can only
be appreciated by those in close touch with
the teams work. The successive loss of
five OF the Quakers' best men makes the
chance OF any success for the Red and
Blue extremely unlikely in any of the big
games.
The Carlisle Indians have made a great
showing this year. They have scored the
highest total of points of any team in the
east and have met fairly strong COM
petltors They made a better showing
against Penn State than did Yale. The
team Is in perfect physical condition. ap-
pears able to gain ground and to defend
equally well. and Is fairly strong in kick
ing.

Harvard's Cripples Rounding To.
Harvard undergraduates are looking for

ball game with Brown tomorrow. The
Quakers had close squeak last week and
Harvard hopes to come out as well. There
Is still considerable doubt TO what Har-
wards lineup Will be. Several crippIes have
been pressed back into active service. but
they may not be fit to play In a hard game
