OF FOOT BALL CONTESTS.

Boston, Nov. 15.-With the foot ball
season nearing its close interest in
creases daily, and next Saturdays con-
tests will have a most important bear
ing on the final standing Of the elevens.
The great game OF the week will nat
sraIly be the great Princeton con
test at New Haven. Although whipped
by Dartmouth, Princeton came back and
trounced Cornell, and with a weeks
practice the Tigers should be able to
put up their usual desperate struggle
against the Ellis. Yale is a pronounced
favorite because of her showing all the
season, but there is no reason to be-
Heve that the game Saturday will not
be stubbornly contested Interest hear
abouts centres in the Harvard-Dart-
mouth struggle. Dartmouth's hopes ran
high after the defeat of Princeton, but
the enthusiasm was somewhat subdued
when Amherst held the Hanover play
ers to no score on Saturday. Dartmouth
has had more ups and downs this sea-
son than usual and il not so confident
of the outcome Saturday. Dartmouth
defeated Harvard two years ago, and
tied last season and another victory il
what she is looking for this week.
Pennsylvania will have minor college
to go up against Saturday, meeting the
Western University of Pennsylvania.
The two tail-enders in the so-called big
SixD-Columbia and Cornell-will fight
it out at Ithaca.
Hard work started in again on Sol
diers' Field yesterday afternoon. With
Dartmouth's strong team coming here
on Saturday, the Crimson needs all Of
the practice II can get in correcting the
E1aring faults shown up in the Pennsyl-
wanna contest. Harvard probably will
face Dartmouth with the same lineup
with which she started against the
Quakers, with the possible exception of
fnilback. Carr is out for work again,
and may be able to start the game.
1t is also possible that Knowlton may
be seen on the right wing, either at
end or tackle. A surprising thing in
the game last Saturday was the poor
handling of the ball by the backs. All
season the Crimson players have been
holding on to the ball, but on Saturday
seemed utterly unable to keep a grip
on the leather. This is a fault that
can be corrected rs well as several 9TH
ers that have been commented on at
length. In the practice Monday, the
fumbling was Just as much in evidence
az it was in the game. However, there
were only few varsity men on the
first team, most of them being given a
rest. Knowlton was again tried at right
end, which needs strengthening to come
up to Leary's work on the Others side
of the line. Whether Knowlton win
gain the position or will be played at
right tackle, where squires showed weak
ness, is question Sortwell has been
taken to the varsity squad as sub
stitute to Starr. Harvard is very weak
in quarterback material this fall.
Dartmouth does not despair Of put
ting up a good fight against Harvardi
after the Disappointing game against
Amherst. There are three faults to
be remedicd this week if Harvard Is to
be held down. The forwards broke
through clearly enough against Amherst,
but too often did not follow up their
work and do something when they did
break through. Another fault was lack
OF helping. The men were not together,
and the runner had to 20 it alone A
third weakness was in blocking punts,
there being failure to follow up adj
yantages after breaking through.
