Bowling Battles.
The final tests of the big elevens prepara-
tory to the actual championship games will
come next Saturday. Except Yale, each of
the big teams meets an opponent likely to
try its strength to the limit. There is little
to choose between the matches to be played
at West Point by Princeton and at Cam
bridge by the Carlisle Indians. We're 1t not
for the fact that the Pennsylvania eleven
has been so badly beaten in It's preliminary
games already as to make its fortunes OF
little moment there would be a similar In
terest In the game it plays against Lafay-
cite. Yae's meeting with Brown In spite
of Browns close game with Harvard. is not
likely to amount to very much but the game
that Annapolis plays with Swarrhmore will
give another good line on the navy team
Because of the close games both Harvard
and Yale played at West Point and the
lucky manner in which each victory was
scored, the Princeton and West Point con-
test really holds first position. princeton
will find that she Is facing the strongest
team she has met this year. The chances
favor West Point playing stronger game
than she did against Yale. The one weak
ness she then displayed the Intellectual pro-
lection for the kicking back. she will have
time to correct while the strength of her
running plays ought to be increased. Prob
ably her defense will not appear as strong.
for with Dillon at quarterback to speed the
plays for the Tigers, she is likely to meet
an attack much faster and much more con-
certed than Yale presented. This, with the
absence of fumblng in the back field. which
is unlikely to be promipent in Dilons work
in catching, her offensive possibilities are
likely TO have fewer opportunities to show
brilliantly. Even taking all these things
fpfa w
lucky is she can hold the cadets to no score
and be able to cross the army goal line
more than once.
Tigers May Be Overturned.
PRINCETON, N. j., November 6-The
Princeton FOOT ball eleven played two twen-
ty-minute periods with the scrub team yes
terday behind closed gates. The coaches
said the work was light and that neither
team scored. Phillips, who played center
part OF the time in the Dartmouth game,
sent to the infirmary last night. as he
complained of feeling Ill. and 1t looks as II
Hoaglapd and two or three other varsity
men might follow him, to all appear
ances they need a rest.
Daub was back in the scrimmage yester-
day. and from all accounts showed his usual
dash. The rumor was again current that
the coaches would him In the line,
where good man is needed, as Harlan and
Rulon-M Miller are doing such excellent work
as halfbacks.
Ralph Bard, Ross McClave and Phil King
Joined the coaching staff yesterday.
There is growing feeling here that the
Tigers are not In the best physical condi-
ton, and some fear that the eleven may be
overturned for the Yale game on November
II. The coaches and undergraduates are
not optimistic as might be expected after
the easy victory over Dartmouth on Satur-
day.

coached Tad Jones in drop kicking, and
saw his pupil put two or three kicks over
the bar from the twenty five-yard line.

back field. Roome was able To go to the
field, but in hack, so that he could see the
